I mean, when I was a kid they made a whole damn event about the White Power Ranger taking his helmet off to reveal that *gasp* he was played by literally the only cast member who had missing for several episodes.

I completely agree. I’m in my fifties, and even though I truly don’t understand the appeal of some of these things, I don’t criticize it. Let people like what they like.

Old people log off. Fucking seriously I’ve never seen such a group of curmudgeonly sons of bitches in my life.

“My parents started giving me coffee when I was 8 and I turned out fine.”

Your first paragraph makes you sound like a heroin junkie who should have detoxed 20 years ago.

Or, like, put less caffeine in it.

That’s the spirit. Allow misinformation to guide your bullying. 

“Did you already cross that stone bridge thrice in your explorations? Well, your whole save is now useless, because that bridge will collapse next time and you do need to cross it”.

both the fourth and fifth movie feel like sheepish re-re-revisions of the fate of atlantis—like they secretly knew that the fate of atlantis was the story they should be making, but for one reason or another, couldn’t. 

Fate of Atlantis is absolutely the 4th movie they should have made instead of the movies they actually did make.

lmao it certainly felt that way but really, it’s late because the game’s shitty controls kept killing me ! according to howlongtobeat gollum only takes about 13 hours to complete but i finished it in one week, clocking in 24 hours

Exactly. Metal doesn’t spontaneously sheer like that. Someone had to be ignoring clear signs of stress for some time. 

clearlyLooking at the image, the crack isn’t on a weld line; it’s a failure in the vertical post starting above where the diagonal joins it. It’s clearly a stress-focus fracture, but it’s not a weld failure. I would think an outside diagonal would support the stress better, but I'm not a mechanical engineer.

“As part of our comprehensive safety protocols, all rides, including Fury 325, undergo daily inspections to ensure their proper functioning and structural integrity.”

You’re right. The force being exerted by the roller coaster cars on the track is outward. This would put welds holding the diagonal and vertical supports together into tension, not compression. It’s essentially pulling the weld apart, very very slowly

Given maintenance teams are supposed to visually inspect the track on coasters every day before giving the goahead to operate and the crack was visibly forming at least a week before it was caught, you've got to wonder what the Hell they were looking at during those track walks.

I’d really think twice about going back if the employees’ response was just a shrug to a report of major structural damage on a roller coaster.

If they keep going to this park, it probably won’t even need to be for that long.

There is no such thing for games in Germany and the loophole Boll used has also been fixed if I remember correctly. In fact subsidization of games in Germany is quite bad and has been so for years mainly because the (quite old) politicians do not see games as the same valued form of culture as they do with movies.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this industry needs space for failure. When the only path forward is a safe bet, we get homogenized, sterile work only.
