It's linked to a website or app you can access from your computer or from another person's phone (through your apple ID log-in, I believe) so you can track the stolen device on a non-stolen device.

And, while this absolutely is irrelevant when it comes to whether or not they should care that an innocent human died, they weren't even correct as regards the character. She's explicitly described as dark skinned in the novel. But these fuckers all skimmed past that and assigned the "default" race (white) to her in…

Smough's definitely an asshole anyway, because of the whole grinding people up and eating them thing. But in this theory, he's also a mirage, so he's not an asshole for that specific reason. But regardless, your hatred of him is totally justified, he's the actual worst.

I coasted through their stuff because the episodes that focused on the buddies were so good. Dale manages to be a "wacky" character that's genuinely funny and even capable of invoking pathos, and there's a sweet pathetic tone to Bill that is genuinely endearing. It's one of the most grounded animated sitcoms I've…

I can't take whole credit - my understanding of these games is a combination of personal playthroughs, forums, Bonfireside Chat (which, if you haven't listened, is amazing), let's plays, you name it. But here are the answers as best as I can give them:

I don't know if this is new enough to count as modern (or if the reference is old enough to count as nostalgic, especially given that the reference is in the direct sequel to the original), but I played them far enough apart that I'm going to count it:

I"m replaying Dark Souls II (the Scholar of the First Sin edition), because the overall "meh"-ness of the Dark Souls III DLC has made me crave the pretty much unimpeachable DSII stuff.

I've only played SotFS, since I was late to the Souls party and by the time I picked it up, it was the standard PC version, so I can't speak to what it was like before.

I somehow missed the small white sign soapstone my first playthrough, so I always forget about it, but it is definitely a cool idea. I also think it has a uniquely high value in DSII, because those areas are long and convoluted in a way that makes the short-term co-op useful and worth a reward.

Yeah, I barely touch PVP. I will fight invaders and I like the area-control covenants (which, again, I think DSII did the best with Ratbros), but if I'm doing any online play, it's usually praisin' the ol' sun.

I mean, I will say that I think it is the weakest of the five Soulsborne games mechanically (though I think Demon's Souls has problems in that arena as well). It's also almost certainly too long - I think it wears out its welcome in a way that DSIII doesn't (DSI's quality dips after Anor Londo, but everything else…

I think the initial reveal of Irithyll is on par with the initial reveal of Anor Londo, even if they then try to cash in on Anor Londo instead of making Irithyll feel special on its own. DSIII never reaches the heights of DSI or DSII (I'm a DSII defender through and through), and I think the Profaned Capital is one…

Linda is a fart.

He's coming, he's coming, he's coming.

I thought this song already had a Christmas movie that was popular to write thinkpieces about how terrible it is.

That M is the symbol for monopoly currency (like $ is USD). No idea what the square is.

Cork Wine Bar kinda sucks, but I applaud the spirit.

I feel like it's arguably already starting - in addition to the fact that pretty much everyone replying to you agrees (including me), I'm seeing more and more sessionable beers, usually in some kind of kolsch/pilsner/wit/gose, below 5 ABV; meanwhile, the super aggressively hopped beers seem much less prevalent (though…

Hey, I used to work for that charity that they're donating books to. Good people.

I do play those on vassal (TS is on steam). Vassal is … overly fiddly, but because it's crowdsourced it's always getting better. It doesn't do any rules implementation though; you still have to count hexes, remember special rules, and the system won't keep you from making illegal plays. Still, I can't regularly…
