As a designer, I’m not sure Apple ever did. The suites of professional creative were, at least with Adobe, available on both platforms. The idea that Apple was better for creativity was due, for my money, on the first-party software that came bundled like Garage Band and iMovie. If you needed Photoshop or w/e, you…

It would! But for some reason the industry doesn’t seem to use the “2.5k” language. 2K is the slipperiest of PC resolutions and figuring out why 1440p is called 2K was tough to track down.

Allegedly, people were initially confused about the name 4k. That refers to resolutions having about 4000 horizontal pixels, but…

I hear 2k more often refer to 2560 x 1440. That would make more sense in this case as the Quest 2 allegedly has 50% more pixels than the original and the Quest 1 ran at 1600 x 1440.

2k often refers to 2560 x 1440p. The Oculus Quest 1 had a resolution of 1600 x 1440 so that makes sense if the Quest 2 has 50% more pixels.

Because the virus is still relatively new, there are still components of it and statistical likelihoods we just don’t confidently know yet. Just looking at statistics might have us assume infection is either a mild case where you recover at home or it’s severe and you require the ICU. What we’re learning is that…

Chrono Cross

I don’t get hyped up generally and tend to keep my expectations low. That said, when you make a sequel / spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger, people are gonna have expectations. Idk what young me was expecting, but what i got was a game that was trying to be more grown up, yet felt less cohesive and…

I mean, if the case interior is already searing unicorn vomit RGB, ya might was well complete the ritual with some Noctua beige XD (speaking from experience)

The author makes the argument that it’s the marketing of a product (and one not specifically Nazi related) that bears responsibility for this adapted quote being misused and icky feeling. I’m more convinced its failure is one of tone and insufficient respectfulness. If this adapted quote was used in an appropriately…

Except the message for those wading in and asking questions can’t be: ‘Only comment if you’re an expert, otherwise sit back, listen and be quiet’. It’s just as unhelpful as the response to Omnigear’s contribution saying “I can’t believe that that’s your takeaway” without any further clarification, correction or…

Are they really free to leave tho? You could face a court-martial for desertion and can face up to 2 years in jail, assuming it’s not wartime (then the punishment could include the death penalty). At minimum you get dishonorably discharged which can have far reaching effects like losing: employment opportunities, the…

CAH is definitely not a game I ever want to play with people I don’t know very well. We’ve got a near complete (if not entirely legitimate) copy of CAH expansions and we realized pretty early on that the game absolutely needs a culled card pool to remain engaging. CAH is at its best when it gives players creative…

Odds are good Marvel’s Taskmaster is the inferior Taskmaster! XD

Stacy’s Mom getting all the accolades from Welcome Interstate Managers always felt kinda sad because that album, as a whole, is *such* an incredibly strong piece of work. I certainly know what album I’ll have playing while I digest this loss. Schlesinger was one hell of a talent

Waffles are great, but the extra work in the morning isn’t something I’m interested in enduring. Also I don’t have a waffle iron, so Pancakes it is!

It might be heresy in this *particular* thread, but I got serious about making pizza recently (unrelated to the quarantine) and holy $#!& it’s been a game changer. Way better than any pizza I can buy locally. This way my first attempt:

yeah but GIFT is.

Also see: get, got, gut, gap, gal, gun, gum, gab, gag, gas, gay, god and goo.

Beyond common use, I’d argue the soft-g case is even weaker since the G in the GIF acronym stands for Graphical, which uses a hard G.

By all accounts you’re someone who avoids spoilers as a lifestyle so this review-by-trailer content is deeply distressing. Are you locked in a conference room while they force feed you an unending stream of trailers and leaks? Blink twice if you’re in danger

I say Sakurai goes all the way with it. Make the next game Super Smash Emblem, but with Mushroom Kingdom DLC. In my head canon, it’d be kinda like a floaty Soul Caliber and I’m completely fine with that. 

A Nintendo Switch! We moved cross country just after Thanksgiving so an early Xmas gift of a Switch (the new one) made the travel and temporary housing much more enjoyable. Looking forward to catching up on BotW
