I know what you mean, the idea that if there’s a small problem, everything should be stopped and fixed, because if not, then who’s to say something that’s a big problem would be fixed?

Well they charged you regardless of whether or not you played the game. And that was 6 or 7 dollars of way back when money for 2 nights.

The sky is perpetually falling in some peoples’ worlds. Seems exhausting. I fail to see how this is different than renting games was from the video store, save for the format of the offering.

“I couldn’t find any USB-C to USB-A cables”

I’d like to suggest that the commonly held definition of an audiophile is somebody who is into very high end audio reproduction - typically expensive home stereo equipment in order to play recordings at their highest possible quality and fidelity. So I think that somebody with a TikTok that amounts to distributing…

Excellent zing.

Yes, that’s what I alluded to. Every person who hires skews towards self-selection. Companies have come to the conclusion that it costs money and just telling their employees, “Hey folks! Please only hire on merit!” doesn’t magically fix it because it’s not something something humans do consciously and with explicit…

“Cake and eat it too” is a good summation of exactly what annoys me so much about McFarlane’s work. Like this air that he’s a bright enough guy, but too chickenshit to look uptight in front of the cool kids.

What corperations realize is when they *try and hire soley on merit* they actually don’t, and certain groups end up being over represented. Over represented compared to what? Compared to the population they’re tasked with selling goods and services to. That over representation has been shown over and over to cost them…

Maybe the funniest aspect of this: the stupid people who believe this walkable city stuff is a nefarious plan to restrict movement are the same people who’re up in arms about the vast quantities of people seeking asylum who are all doing it on their legs and would have an infinitely harder time overcoming the bodies…

If that was a consideration we’d all be saying, “jeez, it’s hard to imagine 1600 is a long time ago, it’s such a big number!”

It takes some real mental gymnastics to imagine she wrote a letter, posted it to her Instagram, and hoped that as few people saw it as possible

“At least be intellectually consistent.”

I played that as well, of course .. yes, the character creator was also quite good but I really didn’t like the way it *felt*. Nothing specific I could point to, although if memory servers, sound design is a big deal to me and I far preferred that of CoH to Champions’ in that regard. CoH felt good to play, Champions…

Whaaaaat. I loved this mmo, maybe one of the only ones I got into. The character creator is the stuff of dreams.

The shit people will do to feel like they belong to something.

All three games ship on three entirely different engines.

“It’s bold to create art by committee” which .. is a bold thing to say, I suppose.

To be fair, the music the band’s playing being called jizz makes more sense in that context.

That System of a Down-esque shit in the background of this trailer makes me laugh, which is probably not the intended effect.
