I used to mirror my display. Talking early-to-mid 2000s, I had my computer next to my TV, a beautiful cabinet model named Gloria. I’d do my homework (was going to college at the time) on my monitor, and then, when it was time to relax, I’d slap on a Futurama episode or whatever and switch over to Gloria. Could have…

There’s also option 3 - runners learn how to manipulate the seed so that they only have to memorize one set of puzzle solutions. Ideally the fastest solutions, of course. I mean, that’s essentially what most NES FF and DQ speedruns do.

“...it’d be hard to top this group” - Jon Stewart regarding the absurdity of the Bush administration.  So, I guess Trump gets a win on this one.

I love PotPlayer. I had been using MPC, but wanted to have thumnails show up when I hovered my mouse over the timeline. So after a little Googling, I found PotPlayer and have loved it ever since. I’ve even written apps to make use of the fact that you can save out multiple configuration files and load whichever one…

The broiler is my favourite part of both my oven and toaster oven. Perfect for finishing hot wings (oven, after tossing the wings in sauce to caramelize it) or re-heating pizza (toaster oven, just keep swapping between bake and broil with a tray of water underneath). I used to love the kitchen salamander when I worked…

Yeah, pretty sure this is all a ploy to get *some* deal from China so that he can boast about it leading into the elections. He doesn’t have “where are her emails?” to keep yelling this time around (at least, not yet).

Too bad it’s XBox exclusive. I’ll never play it. These days the only way I’d play a game like this (and I definitely would buy and play this game) is if it’s on the Switch. This isn’t going to justify a console purchase, why did Rare hook up with MS to publish it (or vice-versa)?

It’s way worse in curling.  “Hurry fuckin’ hard!  Fuckin’ haaaard!.  FUUUUUUCK!”

Me wanteee. The only thing I have a complaint about is the lack of rumble. I did the whole Joycon re-skin thing to get a proper d-pad on the left and I love it, but this takes it to a whole ‘nother level. Since I pretty much play Switch entirely in handheld mode, I don’t need the batteries, which just turn into…

I’m sure you’re going to be proven right, I have no doubts that he will be back. But at the same time, does he personally draw in all those viewers and money? If he were gone for two months, would Twitch really be making less money and have fewer viewers than if he were back? I know a lot of his viewers are going to…

I don’t think it works that way. I’m certainly no lawyer myself, but the law doesn’t say anything about intent to invade a specific target’s privacy. He didn’t have a particular target that he was trying to embarrass, sure, but he very intentionally went into what he fully well knew was an occupied bathroom, and very…

I beat Tyson by practicing. A lot. To the point where, 20-something years later, I can recall his code (007 373 5963) without even having to think about it.

Shows like Lost encourage people to use their imaginations. We need more shows that do that.

Yeah, agree. With one minor exception, though - there’s one opportunity EA didn’t give BioWare: use a more suitable engine. I mentioned this in another comment, but forcing BioWare to use an engine that needed to be heavily modified to do something other engines already support was, in my opinion, the biggest nail in…

That’s certainly the way it seems.  On top of that, when they gave them a deadline, it was rigid.  They went from “do what you want, give it to us whenever” to “you’ve got a year and a half to get this game on shelves, no flexibility”.  The thing about deadlines is that people try to get their work done on that day,…

Being bound to Frostbite was actually a severe limitation in something that the devs needed iteration on. This game was a new experiment where they wanted it to be something different, but they had to wait a very long time to just see the basics before they could make a design decision. I’d put Frostbite right up…

Couple of things.

At the same time he realized that fart he just let out feels a little wet.

“Most PACs pride themselves on being bipartisan and supporting candidates who are understanding of their issue..”

Yeah, good points. I mean, realistically, Nintendo systems have only been “niche” third-party targets since the Wii/DS days, when devs/pubs stopped trying so hard to port their games to all three platforms and just focused on XBox & Playstation. The most common third-party titles have still been Nintendo exclusives…
