To be fair, even having something built to spec used to be an issue with manufacturing in China.

maybe if Clarkson wasn’t such a disgusting pig of a human being. 

His name is Lance.

The answer is obvious: the writer needs to get her own priorities straight, dump that asshole, and use the incident to get sole custody of the child!

It takes a lot to fuck up a government contract, and yet Boeing is trying their absolute best.

With Boeing: I’ll believe it when I see it.

They might also want to make sure they properly tightened the damn hatch bolts....

At the very least, FFVIII feels like most mature of the games: almost every character in the game fails badly at something, injustices go un-addressed, and the people in the game are basically all adults who either didn’t quite grow up right, or are plagued with regrets they may never come to terms with.

First off, that GameNOW article was great. Second, I have always loved FF8. I tend to go back and forth between 8 and 10 as my favorite. FF7 was my first FF game. I liked it a lot but when FF8 released and I snatched it up, I was in love immediately. Even past the glee of how good it looked, I enjoyed its cleaner sci-f…

“The best Final Fantasy is the one that makes you fall in love with the series" may be one of the truest statements typed. 

FF8 is the best and underrated as hell.

I wrote Squall off as an annoying edge lord when I first played this game as a teenager. Like he was someone’s idea of a stereotypical teenager. Going back to replay it as an adult, I was shocked that not only was the writing between Squall and Rinoa actually good, but Squall himself was perfectly understandable and…

Was it a test balloon? Or was it C-suite douchebags so far removed from regular humanity that they were too busy salivating at their “genius” idea to create extra profits from nothing to realize that their customer base isn’t captive enough to put up with a surge pricing mechanic?

I would wager walking around money that these “lower prices” would be right around what their current prices are, and they would be happy to raise them during surge periods.

Lol at the updated statement saying “some consumers construed our obvious ploy to price gouge as a ploy to price gouge”.

I have to pretty much agree with your take. I held out and didn’t get a PS5 until Spider-Man 2 came out and while the game is phenomenal, the improvements over the PS4 Spider-Man are pretty minimal. Particularly if you play it on performance mode. In quality mode you definitely do get some improved visuals, but it’s…

Totally agree.  I’ve only played 1 PS5 game which was a new release and not an upgrade from the PS4 version I already owned.

Man, my PS5 still feels like a newish addition to my console collection. I have no desire for an upgrade. It doesn't even feel like games are pushing it to its limits yet.

Still unsure why everyone is lamenting the lack of a Netflix app. Would much rather have a “Golden Girls” app called VRthur.

I’m not sure what any author’s personal politics have to do with this particular controversy.  Hugo voters nominated certain works and people, and the award admins removed them for no explained reason.  Might it have been about politics those people had regarding China?  It’s a reasonable hypothesis, but your comment…
