Even if there’s no metal in it, this wouldn’t happen. If it’s just sitting on the desk, it would just fall over. If it’s screwed down, it’s way more likely to bend and maybe snap at the stand because it’s a fulcrum and physics. Even if the thing was completely braced top and bottom (which it isn’t) you aren’t gonna…

Sure. We don’t have remotely enough information on that time period to really know all the sociopolitical implications of the Prothean empire, nor, as you you, exactly how realistic and unprejudiced Javik’s personal view of things was. Again, to go back to my theoretical example of future Ashley, her viewpoint on…

I’ll be fair, it’s been a long time since I’ve played it and I don’t recall the stuff he says well enough to quibble over the details. Suffice to say it sounds like you remember the specifics better than I do so you’re probably right. Whether that makes them significantly worse than the contemporary council races for…

Well, Javik was kind of an abrasive prick, but he was pretty much just a footsoldier who ended up in fairly extreme circumstances. If the Reaper cycle had continued and some hypothetical far future civilisation had woken say, Ashley up 40,000 years after everyone she knew had died and expected her to solve every…

Kiiiiinda want them to send an unpatched copy to the McElroy brothers, because this is a recipe for the greatest episode of Monster Factory ever

Jermaine Jackson called one of his kids Jermajesty, which... I’m not even sure if that’s more or less insane than YourMajesty, but I guess at least it established some precedent?

I’m over 90 shrines now. After 80, enemies start getting particularly tough. All the Lynels are white or silver now. Although I love those fights. I’ll quite often go hunt a few of those if I want to use up some decent weapons to clear my inventory.

Well, I think there’s a few reasons why there’s a benefit to it. Look at Bethesda games as an example. In Elder Scrolls games, after a few hours of play, I’ll find a decent weapon, be it from a dungeon chest or a quest reward or from crafting. From that point on, that’s all I’ll use, because why would I use anything…

I’m yet to run into a weapon in BotW that I have not collected multiples of. There’s no weapon that you will never see again, often with a better perk attached.

As a counterpoint: enemy difficulty scales with your completion rate (primarily for shrines I believe). Weapons appropriate for the enemies you will be facing are always plentiful.

Hope you like them, man. Restorations have been one of my favourite new bands of the last few years. They’ve got a kind of Fugazi meets early Pearl Jam thing going on. They put out three albums in consecutive years 11-14 and they’re all great. Looking forward to what they come out with next

Recommendations from another old who grew up during the same era as you (I turn 35 this year so I’m assuming we’re a similar-ish age) and loves to discover new music: Restorations, Hop Along and Pale Angels are all amazing current bands who owe a ton to the grunge era.

I’m wondering if it might be related to longer play sessions. I was on it for a long spell yesterday and that glitch was near the end. Today, blood moons seem to be occurring as normal.

I’m on Switch and I had my first glitched blood moon last night. Had one at 11.45 and another at 3.30 in the same night. Weirdly, they occurred far faster than usual. Normally you’ll start to see the embers at 11.45 and the cutscene plays at midnight. This time, sparks appeared and the cutscene played immediately.

Oh sure, I just meant that there was no way any judge was going to rule in favour of a man whose argument was basically “a critic was mean to me and that’s worth 15 million dollars in compensation”. Nobody is ever going to set that legal precedent, and of anyone is ever mad enough to do so it’s going to get overturned…

I don’t disagree with that. I think you’ve gotten the tone of my post back to front. *Romine* believed that fair use meant you couldn’t be mean, basically. Which is fucking insane.

There was no chance this was ever going to get anywhere, because James Romine either couldn’t afford a lawyer or got laughed out of every legal firm he spoke to, so ended up representing himself and wrote what will surely go down as one of the most ineptly put together claims on legal history.

Pewdiepie seems like a basically decent human being who did something incredibly dumb which he admitted was dumb and accepted the consequences of. I don’t personally watch his stuff, nor do I intend to. I get the joke he was trying to make, it was really badly delivered and it wasn’t funny. He’s not really all that…

I have been the Warlock in that situation. I went up to where the boomers spawned and just sniped everything. Took me forever but the whole party was going “no, just stay up there, it’s not worth the risk!”

One of the biggest causes of the ‘83 crash was that the market was massively fragmented. Sure, Atari was pretty well known and did better than most, but there were tons of consoles for people to choose from, each with their own library.
