It’s amazing just how well good pilots operate. It’s as if in an emergency they shut down all the extraneous parts of themselves, and only the analytic and expert stuff comes out. It’s not like they’re machines - quite the opposite, they make decisions and improvise in ways machines simply can’t - but rather, as if…

Daaamn. Cool as a cucumber. That’s exactly the kind of person you want in charge when shit goes pear shaped. Calm, cool, collected and knows her shit. Badass indeed.

I love how she ends comms with “Have a good day.” and “Thank you for the assistance.” in a calm and cool manner. Like hey I lost a chunk of plane and a passenger so my day is shit. I hope yours is pleasant.

The Weight is Finally Over!!!

I think part of this is just due to the fact that we, as human consumers, have been accustomed to physical products going on sale after “x” amount of time, even if the product still sells well. We do not usually connect that sales in physical stores are typically engineered so a retailer can move excess stock and…

“I am the greatest swordsman to ever live.”

“OMG.” Nathan thought, “how can I write articles about toxic people with all these nice people around?”

Selling a fangame? This would have been C&D’d back when our late, beloved Iwata was in charge of NCL. Download now before the lawyers’ banhammer comes.

I disagree. Tiling issues like that would be hard to overlook in an indie game, let alone a $15 back-catalog re-release from a multi-billion-dollar publisher.

Yeah, think I’m going to go that route. Just got to spend about ten minutes with it (decided to DL it the moment I got home so I could have a look), and the tiling issues you noted are incredibly pronounced in Guardia Forest.

I think it’s probably due to trying to blow the game’s graphics out to fit a 1080p monitor…

We actually spoke to a font expert on Splitscreen a few months ago, in case you’re curious to hear more about why these mobile-style fonts bug people: https://kotaku.com/why-some-video-game-fonts-are-better-than-others-1809453682

Steam will give you a refund!

Not what’s happening here; check the final quote in the article—he’s going to be working Fortnite terms into a Chemistry exam, not the other way around.

...reading the entire article, evidently the kind of thing a person looking for a quick, cheap shot doesn’t do.

Yeah, I saw the 6700 number, “So this teacher doesn’t know about Fortnite OR Twitter!”

This is how it’s done. While the teacher would’ve done better to make a bet concerning a platform he was familiar with (6700 retweets isn’t much when something like an exam based on a game is at stake), he not only provided an opportunity for his students to teach him something, but he kept his word—and he’s evidently…

On one hand, it’s a nice respectful gesture.

Violence in entertainment can certainly contribute to a skewed view of reality, but it is not the sole cause. There have to be other factors at play for someone to go from relatively innocent child to cold-blooded killer.

Parental involvement is key. The first R-rated flick I saw was The Rock; I watched it with some…

That’s on the parents buying their wee ones Call of Duty, though, not the industry itself.

I really wanted to try beer when I was underage. Guess what my parents didn’t buy for me?

Beer.

I really wanted to see R-rated movies when I was young. My friends who had “cool” parents got to see them; I didn’t unless I snuck…

Eh. Somehow, I lived through the great social panics over rap (and Tipper Gore’s eventual push to implement those lovely “Parental Warning: Explicit Content” stickers on albums), Mortal Kombat (seriously, Congressional hearings over that shit), and DOOM without ever developing the desire to harm anyone.

...and I was a…

For the folks asking, “Why was the kid streaming,” I’m just gonna be blunt:

Way to miss the fucking fire burning the house down over the smoke that’s offending your nostrils.

Yes, the kid’s young, and yeah, it’d be a much better idea for them not to be streaming, but they are not the problem here. The cowardly, craven…
