Whee, a locked down Facebook device that doesn’t play with anything else in the VR world (including your existing games). No thanks!

It’s a sad thing to say, but Atiyah is almost 90 years old and has been making mistakes for a while.

This is really deeper than just the ads though. They’ve got all your info, including highly personal stuff you never told them (either pieced together themselves, like who you know, or bought through financial and medical partnerships or similar), and then they’re selling that information to other third parties…

Curry just means ‘stew’. At a good Thai place you can get at least five different curries, sometimes more (Red, Green, Yellow, Pineapple, Potato, Panang, Peanut, ...) All of these are totally different from Japanese curry, which is its own thing. Indian curries are also different, though some of them approach the Thai…

I think that qualifies as flunking the psych eval.

Wow, the Jump Force one looks pretty last gen. But I guess you can’t expect a whole lot from these ‘every 5-10 years Jump Magazine fighting mishmash games’ most of which they don’t bother to release outside Japan.

Yes, I can see where you would have thought that suggestion was completely serious and not just a joke because it’s the two things in the news right now.  I could try roping in Rod whassisname for an even worse one.

Or they could just nominate him for the Supreme Court.

I find this unlikely because their engine is such a notorious, cranky, duct tape and baling wire piece of shit that unless you’ve worked with it forever good luck getting it to do anything properly. If you have worked with it forever, it’s just hard.

It’s the same physical dimensions as my Nexus 6P, which I think is a great size. It’s not a status symbol thing, it’s just one-handable (for me) while still having a large enough screen to actually watch and read stuff on without holding it a foot in front of my face.

I can’t deny, tanned redheads always > blondes

GABF takes steps above and beyond normal drinking schemes. There’s 4000 beers and you’d like to try about 500 different ones over 3 days (or at least I would). Unfortunately(?) I like stronger flavorful beers, so the ‘drink lighter’ advice doesn’t work well here, so this is what we do:

“PS3 games are not available for downloads because they are not compatible to run natively on PS4.” - A Sony representative explains why PlayStation Now has added the option to download PS2 and PS4 games for subscribers, but not PS3 games.

They made that distinction. ‘Gambling’ is a regulated legal thing. If the government says it’s legally not gambling because it’s not paying out money (even though you’re buying it with real money), then for some people it’s arguably not gambling.

“Psychologically akin to gambling” - A phrase used to describe loot boxes by two researchers who conducted a survey of more than 7,000 gamers. Their report said loot boxes as they exist right now can provide publishers with an unregulated way of “exploiting gambling disorders among their customers”.

You should read this from March (which I see Ethan has linked to):

This is exactly what I’m talking about. It’s a shadowy dick in one panel of an very not for kids imprint (DC Black Label). Even if they were nefariously exposed to it by cunning socialists, not a single one of the chiiiiildren would be harmed by seeing it. It’s because their parents are terrified of it.

You have to censor the batdick because it is goddamn America, and conservatives are scared to fucking death of penis, like they’re scared to death of everything else. Usually they cover it up with angry bluster, or guns they’ll just end up shooting themselves or family members with, but batdick is just tooooooo scary…

Sadly, that’s unlikely because they got bought (majority investment) by a mainland Chinese company two years ago - that’s what caused the dramatic decline, and unless someone else buys them it’s unlikely to improve.
