Just to burst peoples’ bubbles even further, even if there wasn’t a silicon shortage and crypto mining, you still wouldn’t have gotten a 4k Switch this year. GPUs capable of rendering 4k 3D at acceptable levels of detail cost >$600 by themselves (at MSRP, >$1000 in real prices) and are twice as large as a Switch.

I realize it’s a somewhat delayed reply, but you actually answered your own question.

There’s actually terms for this. It’s called a parasocial interaction (PSI) or a parasocial relationship (PSR). It can encompass any instance where a person feels like they have a personal relationship with a public figure, who is largely or entirely a stranger to them.

Plus, for those partial to PC, the addition of Bluetooth saves you the $21 you would otherwise spend on a separate, proprietary Xbox Wireless USB adapter. (Though, for the improved range and latency, you might still want one.) Oh, and did I mention it has wireless charging?

RotSW did, like, 3 cool things. I hope they manage to put them in a movie one day.

The evolution of the connection between Ray and Kylo was a really, really cool addition to Jedi lore. It was a great effect. It was a great plot driver. And it was developed really well over the course of the movie so that it was easy…

I think it’s silly to expect games to always have a male and female option, and even sillier to expect a patch that adds the choice to a two year old game...but the way the people’s request/concern was handled here, was very poor.

The NYC trend I’ve been seeing is towards this sort of really crisp, flawless, brand new leather that could easily be mistaken for vinyl. The more expensive it is, the more it’s supposed to look like you only just pulled it out of the pouch for a generic “greaser” Halloween costume.

GoGP: Bleed off some of that anger somewhere. Because God damn, son. Go work out until you can’t feel feelings. Shoot some guns into a hillside. Make something shitty out of wood. Stand in the shower and just cry and scream until you go hoarse. Or talk to a professional. I haven’t tried the last option, but the rest…

Sayings that work equally well after your third shrimp cocktail, or your second shooting victim.

This was almost certainly the greatest, laziest, hackathon project from a bored dev that I’ve seen.

Part of the pitch for Fox News was not to be political, but to be a reaction to news that seemed to stress objectivity and neutrality even when it got in the way of “truth” as they saw it. They believed news should be able to call the murderer a murdering scumbag. News should be able to say that the politician’s…

Under New York law, alimony can be negotiated or waived, but child support can never be. So no matter how rock-solid a pre-nup is, once you have a kid, you get a passkey to the vault that doesn’t expire for at least 18 years.

When intent is a factor, you’re talking about the intention to do the thing you’re accused of doing, not the intention to commit a crime. So, for instance, you can’t get away with murder by saying, “yes I shot him, intending him to die thereby, but you can’t arrest me because I didn’t know that was a crime!” The…

I think too many reporters feel like finding the “real” story is going to be more trouble than it’s worth.

Speaking of ropes that “clip,” the rope seen in the photo looks a lot like a leash to me, with a hand loop at the end, but what do I know.

Important notes partially derived from the Miami Herald’s amazing reporting on this case:

I have begun to extend this same deference to basically every honest-dealing influencer and Kardashian out there working their game.

All very true. Still sad.

During this time, we’ve promptly responded to the DFEH’s requests, and have produced over 2,500 pages of documents and several thousand lines of pay data so far.
