It depends on the difficulty, honestly.  Hiding some tactical information from the player adds a level of uncertainty that can make each turn a bit more suspenseful:  that is, as long as the game isn’t punishingly difficult.  Sometimes those fights are tuned so murderously difficult, that you need every little bit of…

Starfield, as a nebulous unknown space game by Bethesda has been around for 5 years now (was cryptically announced with a logo in 2018).  The funny thing is, you missed absolutely nothing other than a couple of non-gameplay in engine videos.  I think we all figure it’s Fallout gameplay, but with a space setting.

The optimist in me hopes Microsoft saw the amount of work still needed and told Todd to take his time to avoid crunch.  That same optimist also thinks he’s getting a raise this quarter.

Jokes on him, they’ll all die of cancer from the cosmic radiation that Mars won’t be protecting them from.  Well...joke’s on them too, since they’ll be dying of cancer while being slaves.

FIFA vs. EA, truly a “Let them fight” moment.  

Well, according to the Supreme court, we need to be using the 12th century spelling of Foetus, which clearly has 6 letters and cannot be a Wordle guess.

lol, and if the United States is done, how well do you think your fucking monkey MMO is doing?

Seriously. Just look at Phil Mickelson. He lost so much he’s stuck shilling for the Saudis and burning every bridge he ever had in his professional life. He may think Twitch will always be there to cushion his fall, but we’ve seen enough dumb streamers kill their golden geese with a few simple and detestable words.

(that aren’t just “add a million pieces of subpar bacon to random thing”)

“A bit much” eh?  Wait until he sees the $11,000 jpeg Squeenix will be trying to sell.

But where would you put the Hot Dog on it?

When you understand that this person is in the middle of the pyramid scheme and desperately needs new suckers to come aboard so they can pass the lit bomb off, these posts make so much sense. 

For me it was many winters spent selling them for the high school band’s fundraisers at the area’s Christmas tree farm.  I’ve got this odd linkage in my brain between the smells of smoked sausage and pine sap now.

Ooh, good call.  Might be a bit too much of a “baked good” for me to go 100% on “it’s a hot dog,” but definitely is in the ballpark!

The closest thing I can think of that would qualify as a truly Texan take on the Hot Dog would be the Sausage wrap, which is really, at its core, just a smoked sausage wrapped in a flour tortilla.  Millions are sold at concession stands at Texas High School Football games.

when they’re allowed to run

partly because the competitive balance of the game is maintained by a 3rd party.  Now if there’s a “coach” who is installing wall hacks on some or all of the team’s machines, then yeah, you have to consider sanctioning the team as a whole.

And the last 20 years of Baylor Athletics is a non-stop story of murder, drugs, and rape. Doesn’t stop them from claiming moral superiority.

It’s northeast from downtown austin, but yeah, 290 essentially runs east from north Austin out to Elgin (And it’s Elgin with a hard G, not like the Scottish/Illinois cities).

I’ve got a dry erase magnetic mat that’s on the fridge. Just added “Taquitos, 6 mins @ 400"
