And yet despite touching 20 bills, I counted to 100.

Have you seen Nintendo’s recent interviews about Breath of the Wild and Odyssey where they specifically state that allowing players to subvert the “rules” of the game and “cheat” to find creative solutions is a part of their design process in single-player games, because as it turns out, “cheating” is fun?

Aw, yours is better.

Here’s the cold hard truth... accomplishment is objective.

I mean, maybe. On the one hand you’d have a billionaire television entertainer with a penchant for slapping their name on everything using that name recognition to hitch their cult of personality to a populist wave based largely on racial tension and ride it into the white house.

That your hell is of your own making.

The difference is that this isn’t a part of the game design. It’s an unintended exploit.

If I count $5 bills, I only need to count 20 of them to get to $100. It’s still $100.

One of the greatest sportsmen America has ever produced, up there with Ruth, Jordan, Aaron, Gretzky. And to Deadspin he’s a fart cos his goopy stretching program is heavy on hydration.

If I count to 100 by 5s, I skipped 80% of the numbers, but I still counted to 100.

But still there’s a competitive part of me that thinks, “I worked my ass off to beat this and now somebody else can just glitch their way through... that doesn’t seem fair...”

Are you holding a controller? Do the actions appearing on screen correspond to the inputs you make on that controller?

Crashing into the command ship was not part of the original plan.

Says the guy who contributed exactly nothing of value to anyone.

No problem. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to figure out what sources to believe these days.

Domesticated cats are a potentially devastating invasive species. Ban cats.

Wanting and having are very different things. Everyone at my high school wanted a cell phone, but I didn’t know anyone who actually got one until 2000 or so. And he was a drug dealer.

That’s kind of on you to figure out. News sources are reporting on these reports because they’re potentially newsworthy, but they’re all qualifying the reports with the author’s lack of credibility, stemming from accusations in the past that he has made up conversations from whole cloth and misrepresented others.

Yeah, we didn’t even have a computer in my house until 1998, and no one I knew owned a cell phone until 2000 or so. And I live in the first world.
