Everyone here refers to them as quadrants even though there’s five. It’s just a weird thing caused by the geography and history of the city. Some people even refer to North Portland as “the fifth quadrant”.

This would be better if it wasn’t a mishmash of versions, emulators, and source video qualities (IV and IX in particular look super jacked up, and VII looks like it’s running on an emulator that does smoothing).

You got it backwards. Americans are way less drunk now than we used to be. There’s a reason there was a temperance movement back in the day, and it was because just a ridiculous percentage of men were drunk basically 24/7, and they beat the shit out of each other, their wives, any handy children, and any livestock…

There are no actual children in Binding of Isaac. They are cartoon drawings of babies who do things like shoot lasers out of their eyes and poop out bombs. Generally, real babies do not do things like this.

It’s really irresponsible for you to excerpt the Necronomicon unexpunged at such length here. Do you have any idea how many shoggoths might be roaming the earth tonight?

This isn’t remotely true in corporate IT, and if you have a big pile of networked Windows machines there’s pretty good odds they’re talking to Windows servers.

The TNG episode “The Masterpiece Society” has that as a plot element. Geordi works with a scientist from a eugenicist society where nobody would be born congenitally blind, and they have an ongoing debate about it through the episode. One of the points that comes up is that Geordi wouldn’t have his VISOR without being…

Star Trek ‘09 doesn’t change the canon anyway. It’s explicitly an alternate universe.

Yeah, but this is a guy who’s made technology like the Apple Watch part of his pitch for right-wing policies:

Mass Effect was a new property. Fallout is not. Fallout is also a series that is particularly renowned for its dialogue choices — for things like stupid characters only being able to talk in grunts, or super-smart characters having complex and hilarious responses that allow you to bypass other game challenges, or…

No, the half-assed boss fights and underwater escort section and constant codec call interruptions and extremely bland and repetitive environment helped.

The game was half-complete and featured endless bullshit dorm room philosophizing and goofy melodrama in place of plot developments or gameplay. Also, it introduced Vamp to the series.

The extra GBA dungeons are pretty pointless, like most of the FF GBA bonus dungeons are. The translation is somewhat more accurate but somewhat less punchy. The GBA music is worse.

The gameplay bugs are fixed, but if you care that much about the combat mechanics you’re better off using one of the various bugfix/balance/difficulty romhacks anyway.

The monster art is particularly hideous with this treatment, because there’s a lot of detail that just gets smoothed over into nothingness.

You have to really seek out these levels, though. It’s fairly rare to run into levels this hard on a normal 100 Mario Challenge (expert is a whole different story), and you can always skip them. Most Mario Maker levels are much easier, and there are tons of makers making challenging but fair levels out there.

Yeah, I don’t see a point of a lot of the searching and filtering tools people are asking for (there are much better options out of game; for Nintendo to match them in game would be a waste of resources), but the best in-game way to find good courses is to star the ones you like from 100 Mario Challenge, follow their…

Except it didn’t:

Violence, threatened or performed, is never an acceptable solution to a domestic dispute. Someone who purports to care so much about legal realities should know that someone being a “homewrecker” does not justify assaulting them.

Unless it’s a dark demon, or it’s a full moon, or a boss...
