I used this method as well. In fact, I did it before ever having heard of anyone else doing it. I didn’t tape up ALL of the contacts, especially because of the mentioned impact on response, just the one that was giving me issues. My “right” was sometimes registering as “up,” so I put some electrical tape on a diagonal…

I’m going to hold out for the physical Switch release, but I’m really looking forward to this!

This is nowhere near the earliest example of an extended cut.

This should be done before the album is widely released. People need to stop rushing their art. They should finish it and then sit on it for a couple of weeks and see how they feel. The ego these people have is astounding—just the sheer audacity of wasting people’s time listening to their unfinished crap. This is like…

Phantom Blood is great and it’s short. There’s no reason to skip it. There are some really good battles (e.g., the Tarkus battle scored to an awesome Emerson, Lake & Palmer–esque theme) and concepts in there. Plus, it allows you to understand the stakes (and mechanics) in Battle Tendency and makes the payoff better at…

Part 4 is very different from the earlier ones stylistically and plot-wise. The visual style is so, so cool in Diamond Is Unbreakable. What a beautiful anime. And the plot is not as epic as part 3, but it is more interesting, I think. Josuke is not as cool as Jotaro or as entertaining as Joseph, but the supporting…

I misspoke when I said age doesn’t have to do with sharpness in general. It does when it comes to normal cheddar. However, it doesn’t when it comes to the mass-produced kind that most people think of when it comes to getting sharp cheddar in any grocery store in the United States. Cracker Barrel or Kraft “extra sharp”…

I didn’t really think Deus Ex was cyberpunk. It’s totally missing the “punk” part. Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of punk, more than cyberpunk media usually has. On one hand, I do appreciate a more purist cyberpunk retro-future ‘80s aesthetic, but on the other hand, it would be boring if every depiction gave us the same…

Why would you have them on during the day, though, when you can’t see the light? It’s only people like you who are going to run through the batteries in 3 weeks.

Lotteries are the best for limited products. You have the same odds of actually getting them as always, but you and thousands of other people don’t have to spend an hour+ at a specific time refreshing an overloaded site. Plus they discourage scalpers. I wish everything online was distributed in a lottery. It’s an…

The first chapter of Snow Crash is required reading before commenting on this article.

I heard from a whispered rumor based on a reply to a retweet of a subtweet that LeBron is going to the minor leagues in baseball.

My money’s on the Miami Heat. I bet he would like it in Miami.

Why is every Republican’s face so tiny and centered in the middle of their head? It makes me want to just click one of the corners and drag it to the right size.

I guess the Constitution doesn’t say he can’t

Why would he have to be nerfed? There was an unlockable character in the original Bushido Blade who had a gun and it was fine.

If Vegeta is in the game, he will call Goku “Kakarot” in the first 10 seconds and get them both killed.

Maybe she had a hole in her shirt.

The only thing I can’t comprehend is why Kotaku is defending these pants. They are dumb, and the criticisms raised by the Japanese folk are obvious and reasonable to people of all cultures.

Yeah, but to say that gang violence is an acceptable subject for casual entertainment is also kind of sick, not just because it’s a real thing that many people struggle with every day, but also because it’s a problem with a lot of underlying socioeconomic causes that disproportionately affects minorities.
