Welcome to capitalism - this is the way. It objectively makes almost every business worse from the customer perspective all in the name of shareholder value. 

If Nintendo still somehow gets away with Friend Codes, Discord can keep using the discriminators. If someone wants to add you badly enough and you want to let them, it’ll happen. It’s not that hard.

Ever since that Friends episode where he criticized the writers aired?

“Joey Tribiani-esque”? Wait, when did that become a thing?

Of course it does. But that’s no reason to insult the writers publicly like that. 

Please stop trying to justify her completely insensitive, Joey Tribiani-esque comments.

The tweets they’re referring to each have fewer than 200 likes each, I think this is avclub scrounging for drama

“The script supervisor thought that I was like going with something and then I would have to sit down with the writers and they would be like ‘Wait, what happened to this scene?’ And I would have to go through and explain why I couldn’t do certain things.”

This is why I don't kick-start stuff, too much bullshit

We can likely expect another round of begging for money when we get to the shipping stage as well.  This is just for getting the game to production.

“It’s no fun to eat what you can’t even see. Don’t drown your food.”

Does there really need to be that much sauce?? I am reminded of our Saturday Morning kids PSA admonition not to “drown your food”. I’m cool with a scant tablespoon. 

That’s the fundamental difference between the new-right and the “left” (that being their word, since Biden is about as center or center-right as conceivably possible for a democrat, and even Bernie Sanders is just approaching “left” wing). But there are no shades of gray to the new-right. It is either their way or you…

Welcome to the brainwashing power of Faux News, SnoozeMax and other right wing media.

If nobody had told me they had changed, I wouldn’t have noticed (I double-checked to confirm that the store I tried is one of the ones with the changes). I haven’t tried the Big Mac yet, though, so I can’t comment on the amount of sauce. What gets me, though, is the hubbub about the cheese.

Nice! I always liked their little onions and the cheese has a nostalgia factor for me. But the bun was always the worst thing, always seemed stale!

and it simply hasn’t.

This is a good critique of the state of Xbox, although I think Redfall is a bad example because it was in development before the acquisition. Jeff Grubb today said he’s heard that Xbox was always disappointed in the state of Redfall and recognized this would be a stinker months ago. This makes sense as I’m pretty sure…

I don’t believe anyone subs to GP just for the first-party games. That would be a waste of money. GP is about variety and it offers plenty of that even without MS’ first party titles.
