Old assed gamer here. I’m the first person to hit up the internet when I’m stuck in a game or can’t find this or that armor. Hell, back in the day I was the first person to make a long distance call to the Nintendo Hotline to have them walk me through how to get past the first stage in Bayou Billy. But for the life of…

My dad wouldn’t let me near a lawnmower as a child but I had friends who were mowing the lawn at 10 and 11, for sure. 

I would imagine that it’s at least the low to mid nine figures to make this game- but I also imagine that an extremely significant amount of that money was invested a decade ago when they made the BotW, and that the existing bones of that game made making this one much “easier” and most likely development never rested…

So basically, in less than a month and a half, TOtK made Nintendo over a billion dollars. In a month and a half. And I don’t even think you can buy the DLC yet.

Oh there have always been jerks in every iteration of every type of internet media platform, including here in the comments section of G/O Media. The difference between BE and AE is that in Twitter’s old form those people were much easier to avoid, there were actual consequences and it was generally a more pleasant…

I didn’t delete my account, I just deleted the app. I’m fine with my account still existing, I just have no interest in actually using it. 

Just deleted whatever Twitter had metastasized into. The thing about being such a highly visible douchebag is that if I had to think about how much I dislike you every time I use your product... it will make me not want to use your product at all. By removing the Twitter branding, all they did was replace it with a…

Sometimes bad things happen to stupid people, and all there is to do is sip your lemonade and finish that last episode of “The Bear” 

Also, Planned Parenthood does not exist to “promote a liberal agenda”- they exist to provide reproductive health services, which happen to include abortion, to women. It is their mission statement. If that fool thinks that providing health care options to women is promoting a liberal agenda then there is literally no…

I think people are insane. I love Pikmin. It is one of the most zen games ever. It actively lowers my blood pressure and I’m fairly certain that it also lowers my cholesterol but the science on that is too bleeding edge to be peer reviewed. I am more excited for Pikmin 4 than I was for Tears of the Kingdom (although…

I dunno, I bristle at my HOA and it’s terms- but on the other hand, it is nice to have a way to require an otherwise intransigent neighbor to maintain his or her property at a minimum- and that’s what they should be. But, this being America, nothing can be that simple, and what should be a simple agreement to be…

Exactly. Pretty much everyone familiar with the story said the same thing. I can’t say I dislike any of their choices as actors, but whoever cast this clearly did not play the games. I’ll totally watch it when it streams from Netflix, for at least ten minutes.

Wow, I am gobsmacked. What’s the fucking point of even ordering restitution. My apologies to the author of that article as well, although I would have added some parenthetical that said yes, you read that right, two hundred and fifty dollars and 00/100 cents. 

Came here for questions about that typo. Also sure she wasn’t ordered to pay two hundred and fifty dollars a month on a restitution order of half a bill- I imagine they meant $250K or $2.5 million. Both make sense.

Thank you for summarizing their conversation- it was interesting, a good real, and I neither had to listen to Bill Maher’s stupid voice or see his stupid face in service of it. Double plus.

I think their best bet would have been to both move to a third country, which seems incredibly unrealistic for a dude making $100 a month. I wonder if you can convert from one to the other? 

Would that be a tiny asterisk or a large one? Tiger butthole size is sorta mysterious 

How incredibly sad, but how incredibly predictable- in that always expecting the worst between two countries with little to no separation between church and state with long histories of animosity and stark religious differences is what one should do. Their best option would have been to get together and live in a…

I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Anyone who can afford one to two day excursions that cost $125K to a quarter million dollars will avoid those grifters like the plague. Absent a name and mission change (e.g. moving away from selling trips to the ocean floor and more towards aquatic ice cream trucks that sell the…

Wasn’t Gandalf the Grey at that point and only became the Gandalf the White after/during the Fellowship of the Ring? It would be amazing if the game got THAT wrong, lol
