Y2K ended up not being a huge deal because

He’d have been better to ignore them and just gone with a positive message. Pre-emptively responding to every internet troll is a terrible idea and just leaves you worse off. They win without even having to do anything.

Because I’m not selling a product and this is just a Kinja comment thread. I’ve got no skin in the game. They’re doing public relations. Vastly different standards, like going to Walmart vs going to a good restaurant.

I don’t know the game, I don’t care about the game, I will never play the game, I don’t care if it’s Epic Store exclusive, I don’t know the devs, I do think they were completely right to go Epic Store exclusive given the terms.

They weren’t being defensive - they were simply replying to all the points that often get brought up

They went to ‘You can’t complain about this because it’s not as bad as climate change.’ The Hitler thing was a joke, but pretty much the same level of ridiculousness. If you’re going to resort to that then almost anything is excusable.

The first sections are fine, ‘We are an Epic exclusive because Epic promised us a lot of money’. Great, that’s hard to turn down, we understand.  ‘Now we and our families feel more secure.’ Well good.

Long term trend is all pain - just a brief respite.

I know its fiddling while Rome burns, but I’m quite sure the reaction of rank and file to having less Management riding your ass with fake targets is ‘woohoo!’

When I take a step back and consider what I’m doing, I feel like a shameless sociopath, utterly devoid of firmly-held viewpoints or morals. I am, in practical terms, just making my character say whatever she needs to for everybody to like her.

From the actual EASA service document:

Is it really Daggerfall if it’s not a buggy crashy mess?

UPDATE: I was thinking they were keeping times in msec, and time was overflowing at 2^29 msec (149 hours). But I managed to dig up some docs, and it turns out AIRINC 429 messages are 32 bits, of which 19 bits for data (2^19).

He’s an old (62) white Trump supporter who has been getting increasingly paranoid - the strip is now just very unfunny stuff about how everyone really is out to get Dilbert but only he can see it and nobody believes him.

He’s the new Skrillex, so it’s understandable.

In 2013, right before it hit the mainstream, one Urban Dictionary user’s early classification of egirls went, “Often seeking the attention of professional gamers. . . Live sightings of eGirls can be found at gaming LANs.”

I’ve got three strategies for the bit where I can’t get past this f@#$ing part of the game:

Hey now, it’s not just Tesla owners, Mercedes owners would do this too.  If they could figure it out, since they can’t figure out turn signals.

Sounds like Stephen R. Donaldson’s Gap books - a space opera where every single person is loathsome and unsympathetic (you may also remember him from the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, where only the protagonist is loathsome and unsympathetic, at least at first).

It’s even better because your villagers are actually helpful so it feels more like a real collaboration. With something like SDV or Harvest Moon, pretty much everyone is no use for your tedious chores. But my DQB2 villagers, they’re producing! Mostly poop, but they also plant, water, harvest, cook, even build. If a…
