Marcus Aurelius was a pretty rockin’ dude.

Apocrypha. I’m a big Pathfinder Adventure Card Game fan, and it looks like Mike Selinker really advanced that style of game with Apocrypha.

My wife is very jealous, but I know it comes from the messed-up, semi-abusive relationship her parents had. I try to avoid doing things that are going to cause problems in that direction, and if I have lunch with a female friend because we happen to be at the same restaurant, I’ll tell her.

If my spouse cheated on me once and felt bad about it and was never going to do it again, I’d honestly prefer never to know. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. (Serial infidelity is a different issue in my mind.)

Great post! I think a lot of the problem really is the players in 5E. In the D&D game I’m in now, I’m playing a (true) neutral Warlock, and the LG/NG players constantly accuse me of being evil because the _players_ cannot distinguish morality on any level other than “someone’s in trouble, let’s help them!” and “we

Didn’t work on the Xanthar’s Guide to Everything preorder - there must be some sort of exclusion that wasn’t mentioned.

Can you schedule the display? I want the display on when I’m awake and at home between the times of 6-8AM and 5-10PM on weekdays, but I’d like it to turn off for the other times. Chumby / Sony Dash could do this, and it was a very useful feature.

Man, I bought that game, too, and it very well might have been my first... pretty cool game for its time.

I heard it was multi-player only. I guess we’ll see how that pans out.

I can’t sleep if my wife is all over me. Not bad if I don’t want to sleep (wink-nudge), but she’s like a sweaty furnace at night for some reason.

I’ve never checked a personal bag on a trip. EVER. Even on two week long trips, I’ll just do some laundry at night if I have to.

Their business relationships are absolutely affecting their comics’ content, both from a “we don’t want to make burn bridges with publishers by calling their games awful” and a “we can’t say certain social things because publishers will cut us loose”. Can you imagine them trashing Halo today? It’s unimaginable, yet

And then play FES. That ending made no fucking sense without it, and I say that as a guy who thinks P3P was the best video game ever made EVER.

Yeah, kids these days with their fancy SATAs and M.2 slots. Bet they’ve never even heard of CPUs in a slot format.

Seriously. I read that, and I was like... “cripple my entire wireless network for my PS4? Not happening.” Buy a cheap wireless bridge or something, they’re handy bits of hardware to have in general.

THAC0 is not back. It was a poor joke by Fahey.

Wait a second... she didn’t “inherit” anything. She took the job of her own free will. It was not thrust upon her by senior management at Google. Also, most of her really horrible luck vis-a-vis security was post-Verizon-buyout-announcement. I agree that she’s maybe a bit overly-criticized because she’s a woman, but

Ironically, she might have been better off hanging onto the shares she did sell. That $9.4 billion seems wasted.

Marissa Mayer’s tenure at Yahoo was infamously bad. She made plenty of bad decisions all on her own that had serious negative impacts on Yahoo. Further, she knew what she was getting into. They hired her to turn it around. She failed. You don’t get a pass as a turn-around CEO when your failing firm fails.

First, just so we and everyone else reading is clear: the existence of a USB-C alternate mode definition does not mean every device out there supports that alternate mode. It requires both hardware and software support. Example: my ZTE Axon 7 phone does not support any of the USB-C video alternate modes. It does not
