Besides, Delaware doesn’t have any commercial passenger air service and hasn’t since 2015, so this dipshit Congressman couldn’t fly there if he wanted to. Does this mean they’re contracted?

It’s pretty easy, really: I almost always park at the edge of every lot, far from the doors and other cars if at all possible, so I almost never have to concern myself overmuch with pedestrians in my blind spot as they simply don’t wander out that far. So, my main concern is the preservation of my car, and my…

Between this clusterfuck of a Games and the Qatar Modern Slavery Cup next year, it’s definitely looking like a golden age for international sport.

I do think there is a class of humans who deserve to make this much: astronauts who repair satellites in space, like the Hubble and whatnot. They have to be incredibly fit and possess a huge reservoir of technical knowledge, they have tons of extremely expensive and irreplaceable training, and they literally risk…

And right on schedule! Mussolini’s trains have nothing on Google.

Agreed entirely. I’m at a point where I consider even Prime substantially superior to Netflix. Even counting third party content, I can’t recall anything new Netflix carried in the past year-plus other than Better Call Saul which I’ve been even modestly excited for. The Expanse by itself is probably an order of…

Wow, this post actually makes me want to go back and try getting into DS again; I only put an hour or so before getting bored and shelving it, but that would hardly be the first bad snap judgment I’ve made on a game.  I think I’ll hop back in tonight and see if I can’t get into a groove with it after all, thanks for…

Yeah, taking cover is an invitation to get focus fired by every enemy in the vicinity, movement is definitely key. Indeed, from what I remember, the game repeatedly told you as much and strongly encouraged you to keep moving during engagements.

I loved my Saturn, and giving it away is one of my great regrets. Panzer Dragoon Saga was excellent, the only JRPG from that era that is on the same level, IMO, is Xenogears. The system did not have a lot of top-notch games, but the ones it had were truly awesome.

Correct, for most people it’s likely flight games. I was a major Quake player and ran a popular 1/2 server for several years while in college (having a student sysadmin job in the university’s core IT dept had some awesome benefits) and always played with the y-axis inverted (as I did in Doom and Marathon and every…

This is an opportunity, it reminds me of when the Soviets quit the UN Security Council in a huff b/c they weren’t able to force the expulsion of the rep from Nationalist China (Taiwan), giving rise to a situation where the Americans were able to use their absence (and the absence of their veto) to ram through the UN de…

Black people doing so while using things NOT invented by black people, like written language

No kidding, good grief, I took an Audi to 220K and a VW to 235K; I don’t think 100 has been acceptable in an age now for anything beyond maybe an ‘82 Sunbird or something like that.

I’d really love to know where these supposed places are, because in this, the Year of Our Lord 2021, the McDonald’s in my extremely remote small Rust Belt city of 90,000, which is several hours distance from the nearest metro area of any real importance and which has been economically depressed almost without…

I dove into my backlog last weekend and finally got round to Gravity Rush Remastered, and ended up LOVING it. Extreme verticality and a great mechanical gimmick, compact story with no wasted filler, supremely inviting world anyone who enjoyed Miyazaki’s films (esp. Castle in the Sky) is almost sure to love, etc., etc..…

LOL, same boat, bought it on a sale in the knowledge an upgrade was coming, now twiddling my thumbs and waiting for the actual release (same with Metro Exodus and a couple others). With a vast backlog to deal with, I’m gonna keep holding out and wait for the upgrade.

I finished the plat of the PS5 version of Control the weekend before last and really loved it, the world was genuinely unique, alien and intriguing, kind of in the tradition of certain pantheon games like BioShock. In fact, I liked it so much that I even got over being pissed at Sony for putting it on sale shortly…

Argh, that is so annoying, but predictable, I suppose. The reasoning in this particular case is sooooooo stupid, though—no one on Earth is watching Beavis & Butt-Head and using the snippets of videos shown as a substitute for buying mp3s/CDs/LPs/music service subscriptions/whatever, the inclusion of the videos in the…

I would love an answer to this as well.  Absurd as it may sound, my decision as to whether to subscribe to this service hinges on this exact question.

If you think that’s boring, just wait until you get to NoDak and eastern MT.
