When the entire organization refuses to hold its “bad apples” accountable, then the whole organization is responsible for its worst offenders. “Good cops” who won’t testify against “bad cops,” DAs who won’t bring charges, department heads that shuffle known violent cops around, unions that won’t allow the worst…

But where’s the MEKA? C’mon, we need something between the lump of bulbous plastic that is the Funko Pop and the $450 “I couldn’t fit it on my desk even if I could fit it in my budget” monster that is the statue. 

Okay, not ever having gotten into the Sims series, I was fully expecting this to be some weird offshoot of those fetish Flash games that have pregnant Disney princesses. And without any desire to look further into it, I’m going to assume that there’s at least some small portion of players who are indeed fulfilling…

The switches are still almost a centimeter thick with the contact pins, plus another few millimeters for keycaps. Way too thick for anything like a modern laptop, unless you’re talking about one of the huge 10-pound “gamer” models.

[Video game streamer] should [act like a competent adult]

Hush, you. Overwatch is giving football fans some love, and these days we’ll take it where we can get it. 

What’s a Vita? 

As a big SoulCalibur fan, I’m embarrassed that my favorite slashy-stabby fighter is doubling down on this childish cheesecake while the poster boy of lewd fighters is finally trying to grow up.

I’d be a lot less critical of this move if I didn’t know that Fortnite was crazy popular with kids. You can take the view that adults should know better, but Epic knows how many kid players they have, too. 

The risk is to the users. If people can’t find the game on the Play Store, they’ll look for it on the open web, and make them vulnerable to fake apps that can now do some very real damage to their phones and their identities. There have already been fake Fortnite downloads running around for months, this will just…

Correction: the original Guacamelee came to Wii U, not Switch. I still think it’s a pretty safe bet they’ll extend the sequel to Xbox and Switch before very long, especially since they ported Severed to the Switch already. 

The Steam page has been updated with the date, so it looks like it’s coming out the same day on PC.

After trying them out for a bit: the new cycle is lighter with better acceleration than the old horse-themed Zelda cycle. It turns like a cart instead of a bike. The other pieces have different stats than the first Zelda-themed ones, too. 

Thank you, I was trying to remember what that crazy glitter aesthetic was reminding me of. That show came out a few years after my Saturday morning cartoon days, bit I remember seeing commercials and thinking they needed to tone it the hell down a bit.

Ahem.

Never assign to malice what can be explained by incompetence. 

I’m seeing the Soundcore Vortex at $70. A bit outside of my impulse purchase range.

It’s super-easy, I promise, and it even comes with the screwdrivers you need. If you can swap out a car battery or air filter, you can handle it. 

Just buy a custom shell and stick the official electronics in it. It takes about 20 minutes and yes, it has a little foot to rest the switch on, it’s slanted, it doesn’t scratch the screen, and if it’s not beautiful it’s at least admirably practical. In short, it’s neat and I like it.

Now I’ll admit I’m something of a fashion troglodyte. But I thought Gucci stuff was supposed to, you know, look good. This looks like someone slapped a vinyl sticker on the side of a pair of Payless sneakers.
