Reading the last article, I feel like the best way to do it would be to have a punitive cancellation policy (you pay upfront) BUT give a reasonable amount of time to cancel. If you’re THAT popular, I think a 48-hour notice would be reasonable: I think popular restaurants could fill a cancelled reservation with 2 days…

Gonna need citations on that. That fear may have applied to old hardware but certainly not new hardware. If the reduction in lifespan was that drastic in current hardware (newsflash, it’s not) that fact would be more widespread....but it’s not, because it’s a myth. Or, if it’s not a myth, it’s not true in a practical…

Pretty sure that’s a dated misconception

Saw that this morning, awesome that the interviewer knew what he was talking about and was like “oh I’m on my 2nd winter” haha

Ugh been having this problem recently and thought it was maybe my shoddy building skills creating a problem. I usually turn off my computer so it’s not a common problem but every so often when I’d put it in sleep I’d wake up and see it turned back on which was so annoying.

Still waiting for the Naked Chicken Chalupa to come back...

I thiiiiiink the fly swatting thing vaguely has to do with air pressure or air resistance or something? I just saw it answered a couple days ago and know air was a part of it and why fly swatters have the holes in them

Same, but I’ve never pulled the trigger and just gotten all apps.

You can make your own fish? Incoming dick-fish in 3...2...1...

Man the way the announcer pronounces “success” is so weird haha

Everyone knows you can only make comparisons if the things you’re comparing are also the exact same quality wise. /s

3rd party stuff certainly gets sales that go beyond 30%. Atlus games on the 3DS have been marked off like 50%

Wait haha why did you mean by “salad days of RPGs” in your Wired review?

I could maaaaybe see that? They don’t often release AAA Final Fantasy games, and I guess stuff like Deus Ex and Tomb Raider are infrequent, so maybe they don’t really release AAA stuff every year.

Was pretty excited about this even though I never played Minecraft before, so wasn’t sure if I’d like it. Played the demo and man is it a blast, really tough waiting for my copy to ship today. One thing I didn’t realize was a part of the game at all was the humor, which kinda breaks the 4th wall and really makes fun…

You get a few main party members but the vast majority of the “characters” you can get (both male, female, and beast) are in effect “collectable swords”

IIRC Fahey was more positive on it but I don’t think we ever got full impressions from him.

No idea why but the director of the game literally spoiled that in the announcement about the patch too...

Holy shit that conversation was FANTASTIC, really makes me want to pick up DOS1 again. Been pretty intimidated by so much choice and having it not be a game that holds your hand and it being so long, but maybe I should just jump in and invest in it

Dodged that question twice haha
