I don’t know what to tell you, man. I do fly a lot and often chose Spirit because I can get “first class” seats without paying a lot of money, and yet I just don’t experience the kinds of terrible problems you seem to pay a lot of money to avoid.

That sounds like a lot of money to pay for a placebo effect.

Those are a lot of caveats, and even your best example is roughly twice as much of an add-on cost as you usually face for Spirit’s BFS (yes, I’m using an acronym now).

The Big Front Seat thing is such a perfect idea. People who fly Spirit are very price sensitive, so they can make the seats cheap-ish and there isn’t a rush to get them (they’re not always available, but I’m surprised how often I can snag one just a day or two before the flight). As someone who has flown first-class a…

The post-credit scene was so frustrating to me. I don’t care about the Russians and it was such a generic tease that it didn’t mean anything to me.

In regards to community toxicity, we do not have prior experience managing communities of this size, nor the manpower or resources that established studious can leverage.

Trust me, they desperately want to say that, but it would really turn their crybaby audience against them.

Tarantino is obsessed with his reputation and “place in film history.”

Sure, why not? If it’s a useful shorthand to explain some of the mechanics, then go ahead and use the word.

I have no problem with people calling Arkham Asylum a metroidvania. It actually really helps better describe what it is to people who would otherwise expect it to be either a linear adventure like Uncharted, or a open-world game like Arkham City.

I really don’t understand the point this writer is trying to make, like, all reductive words we use for genres or mechanics in games are basic cudgels in the exact same way.

That’s not unique to the mobile version. Kinja is one of those web apps that thinks Chrome is the only browser in the world.

the punny title Asgardians Of The Galaxy. (Something Chris Hemsworth himself floated as a joke when he was asked about whether Thor would pop up in the film.)

Also, did she walk up and say “I’m a registered Democrat. This is an official party action!” before spitting on him?

if a developer chooses to use a platform because it has the largest user base and best feature set, I can’t hold that against the them

That’s like saying “execute” doesn’t always mean to kill someone. It’s technically true, I guess, but obviously not what you meant.

GoG isn’t a platform, they just sell keys. That’s GoG’s fault for not wanting to build their own platform, not Steam keeping GoG out of the marketplace.

Happy to clear it up. Now spread the truth far and wide! Developers need gamers on their side in these conversations.

YES OF COURSE THEY WILL DO THIS.
