Same boat, big guy with a bad back (multiple prior surgeries and only narrowly avoided a fusion at the last minute a couple of years back), and it sucks, because other than pick-up basketball (not really an option where I live now due a variety of factors), it was literally the only sport I enjoyed and played a big…

I also bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider shortly before I got Control, as you noted, so that’s two in a row. To make matters worse, I never even downloaded Control as I specifically bought it for the PS5 upgrade, so they don’t have any argument to fall back on at all, they’re just cynically mugging a customer for $20. I…

There’s a roundabout about three miles from me. They aren’t widespread around here, but they’re not exactly hen’s teeth either, and the fucking thing has been in place for close to a decade now. Still, every goddamn day I come within sight of that thing, I see morons slamming on their brakes and demonstrating greater…

Yeah, not much mystery, really: kneelers love to pretend that pigs are some indispensable part of society (nevermind the fact that police forces didn’t even exist for the overwhelming majority of human history and only arose in anything like their modern form in the 19th century) and that the job is sooo hard and the…

Easy, Xbox 720, Xbox 1080 No Scope, etc., etc.

It’s absolutely the “interface” in that your claimed issues plainly revolve around your expectations for your interactions with the machine and are thus based in human factors, and the comically outsized complaining is self-evidently whining, all this gnashing of teeth and rending of garb over having to take a few…

The people whining about it must be Mac users, because if they’re seriously struggling this much with such a profoundly simple GUI, Windows would’ve left them in the grave years ago.  OS/2 probably would’ve melted their brains on contact.  

Does anyone know Latin?  I want to create my own personal crest, it’ll just be a silhouette of a guillotine with the motto “Ready When You Are” emblazoned on it...

If you want to see how meaningless the stupid team name is in the first place, and thus just how disingenuous and absurd arguments are in opposition to changing plainly offensive names, consider the fact that the NFL’s most storied franchise is dubbed in honor of anonymous dudes who processed animal carcasses, LOL.…

They’ve also chosen to be self-defeating imbeciles, considering the fact that the overwhelming majority of rank-and-file Republican voters barely have a pot to piss in (regardless of their innate capacity for self-deception), yet happily repeatedly violate their own economic self-interest in support of a party whose…

I’ve been saying he looks like a homeless hobbit, but that works, too.  

Greatest March to the Sea of all-time (apologies to Xenophon).  

I could see a legitimate case being made for any of them being best, yes, DkSII included, especially if you consider the DLC as it had far and away the best add-on content in the series (fuck you Sir Alonne), except Sekiro, because to hell with that game. It completely fucks up what every other game in the “series”…

I’m shocked you don’t have something like a Jaguar or a 3DO.  

I don’t know if this is strictly auto industry, but it’s certainly adjacent as the “research” which underpinned this idiocy occurred at a GM division: the decision to incorporate tetraethyl lead in gasoline. It quite certainly resulted in deleterious health effects, both physical and mental, for untold millions of…

I say this as someone who owned both a Saturn and a Vita: hands down the Wii. Like, not even close. After you bowled a 300 and finished Twilight Princess, there was fuck all to do with that thing, the other games for the system, at least during the first year when I still had it, were an unfunny joke. Seriously, what…

Yes; I live in a far northern city that is situated on a somewhat dramatic hillside, with many stretches of streets having grades over 20% (my own included), and some at 25. You need only see the abject terror on the face of some clown on cheap all-seasons furiously spinning his wheels—pedal probably floored—as he…

YES; a few years ago the imbeciles at the local VW dealership (Duluth, MN) had my MkIV TDI Jetta for like six months (not kidding; I had a loaner Passat I made them give me after the first failed fix that I used the whole time so I wasn’t totally breathing down their neck) without ever fixing the problem. The car had…

Why can’t this just end the same way it ended for his hero and inspiration, with him and Melania swallowing cyanide capsules, him following up with a gunshot to the temple for good measure, and their bodies being carted up out of the bunker, doused in gasoline and set ablaze by toadies in the Reich Chancellery Rose Gar…

Meh, Michelin and Bridgestone are both better than Conti, and Yokohama is at least as good, often at a substantial discount.
