Mission Hill is great, and it’s also [loudly setting up soapbox] an example of the vital role piracy serves in preservation. As mentioned, it’s not available for streaming, and the DVDs had different music because of licensing issues (see also: Beavis and Butt-Head, Daria, Beverly Hills 90210, and many others), so you…

Or split a Switch Lite in half, so you can snap it onto either side of a regular Switch screen and get an ultrawide Double Stuf Switch.

So what is this thing, some kinda souped-up Atari Lynx?

Post-baby (and post-Deadspin) Jason has consistently had a zero-bullshit-tolerance policy on site and corporate matters, and I am 100% into it. He’s like me during my last holiday season after 10 years of retail, where I was doing everything short of literally pissing on my bosses’ shoes.

Oh, yeah, I think you may be all set, then. I took the original boards out of my TE sticks a while back so I can’t remember for sure, but I’m almost positive those had a plug on both ends of the joystick harness, so you might not need to bother with all the stuff that guy was doing, putting together a connector.…

After finally having the time to set up my clunky VR stuff that’s been in a box since I moved over the summer, I’m returning to Elite Dangerous, which I love. In VR, with a joystick and throttle, and a voice-triggered assistant I can bark orders to, it’s like living out a childhood fantasy. I also got a chance to play…

I’m not counting them crashing a couple of websites into the ground and forcing a bunch of people out as “work,” obviously. That was more pleasure than business.

Take it easy on the evil overlords. Flipping the website layout is literally the sum total of all the work they’ve done since taking ownership of the sites.

I don’t have one myself, but watched some of the video below. Depending on what your JLF came out of, you might already be set to just drop it into this. It looks like the same 5-pin connector that Mad Catz and some others used, so the joysticks that came stock in those already have one.

If you want to double-dip and get even more of your money’s time’s worth for watching it, The Flop House also did an episode about it. I heard that one first, and at a certain point of them discussing the plot, I thought maybe I’d passed out and was having a fever dream.

I’m pleasantly surprised at how (hardware-)mod friendly this stick is. The board isn’t soldered directly to the stick or buttons like you see on some cheap ones, and there are even extra screw holes unused by the original parts that seem to be there just to make it easier to fit some of the common mounting plates for…

Putting the “pass” in “season pass.”

Don’t punch the messenger’s stomach, but regular men’s Adidas Advantages are $65, and I can’t imagine the Pokemon license making them any cheaper.

This guy spooks.

I mean...no, I’m not concerned that security guards who said “Yeah, a box of golf balls doesn’t seem like a huge security threat, go ahead in,” would react the same way to a bomb. Even if you told them it's a present for Bob. That seems like a pretty unrealistically slippery slope.

It seemed to go over really well with people, but I didn’t click with Octopath Traveler at all. It felt bland to the point of being repellent to me. If playing a really bland RPG is like eating plain rice, Octopath was like eating a picture of plain rice printed on recycled cardboard. I hope I have a better time with…

There’s an episode of the show Review* (where the main character reviews “life itself,” usually destroying his own life in the process) about making a sex tape. After failing to convince his wife to participate, he decides to buy a sex doll, and says this in a narrated voiceover playing over footage of him struggling…

It’s cool to not like streaming or Youtubers or whatever, but I’m having a hard time picturing your ideal scenario. So, “salaries” are capped, and instead of the money going to the people who upload stuff, it is...what? Kept by YouTube? Returned to the advertisers? This seems like a really weird thing to root for. 

When reached for comment about the meeting, Andrew pushed back on the term “meeting,” insisting it was “just a straightforward eating-lunch.”
