My partner and I have discussed whether or not to have a wedding at all if we decide to get married - her initial reaction is “fuck it.” However, and this might be ridiculous and selfish, I feel like we’ve spent so much money and time over the years on the “obligatory” weddings of friends and family, why shouldn’t we…

I have family on St. Simon’s Island and this has been a huge deal for a while down there. Cool to see these photos since I’ve wondered what it must look like inside. This thing is a potential environmental disaster, and there’s currently litigation about who’s handling the cleanup/salvage.

I can’t say I’ve been in the industry as long as you, but I’ve been in IT/Web since the mid-90s, and the first time I heard someone say “jif” on a conference call, I had no idea what they were talking about. And then assumed there was something wrong with them, as did my coworkers. That is also the only person I’ve…

Yoooooo, 37?! Well, there’s something unexpected - a Trump making me feel good about myself for a fleeting instant.

Hence my use of “supported” with 360. As for the One/One X, I haven’t seen anything that indicates less than full support for all games. If you have a source that there will be a similar compatibility list for One games, I’d be interested in seeing it, because as far as I can tell it’s fully compatible with everything…

If that’s the case, it should be clarified, because as far as I’ve read it is only the currently supported backcompat library.

Yeah, I used to work with Best Buy - I know how stupid people are. But I think saying something simple like “the new one plays all the old games” would suffice if someone had asked me for “the new Microsoft Nintendo” or something. (That’s not too far off, I had a woman yell at me and complain to a manager that I…

Right, I agree that the list of supported titles is spotty, but that’s not really part of the issue here. “If it plays on the One, it plays on the Series X” is what it boils down to and I thought was pretty self-evident, but apparently not.

My 360 stood up until I replaced it with my One. MS just cautioned not to move the console with a disc in the drive. I don’t think there was ever anything that said not to stand it up (if so, why design the console in such a way that it CAN stand? If being vertical was an issue, make the sides curved so it can’t). 

I keep seeing people bring this up, but why would anyone assume it COULDN’T be placed on its side? I can’t ever remember a console that “had” to be oriented in a particular position. (And since someone will certainly bring up edge cases... Just because something *fits* somewhere in a particular orientation doesn’t…

It doesn’t get my ire up as much as it does you, but that definitely could be written in a much less confusing way. How about:

I think that’s the point, though. Nobody’s trying to claim that previous administrations have been 100% transparent and honest. But this asshole is literally prefacing some made-up shit by saying outright that it’s made-up. Bush didn’t say “I don’t know this for a fact, but Iraq has WMDs.” He said, “Iraq has WMDs.”…

A bunch of us got quietly greyed for no apparent reason. But welcome back, good to see some of the regulars still slogging through the remnants of what’s left.

Wait, but how far can you throw Jesus? I’d pay at least $5 to see that.

Ahh, yes. This and Warcraft Adventures. Two games I had swag for that never wound up existing.

And yet due to some random unknown offense, I languish in the greys after being an approved Jez/Slot commenter for years. At this point I’m just waiting for the Herb to just put the whole network out of its misery and be done with it.

Why would anyone cook pre-cooked beans in an Instant Pot? They would turn into pile of mush like refried beans.

But the test accounts WERE using live servers. You’re ignoring the fact that they have tons of servers, and this bug only affected a few of them. If anything, the only way to truly test this would be to have as many test accounts as there are servers to test each one individually, which is impractical. Their proposed…

I think the idea is that he’s trying to look relatable by “being in on the joke.” Except it’s not working.

I like that the label is re-branded for the Australian market. “Removes bugs, sap, and tar!” Does the back of the can say “also can be used as a flamethrower when you have a 15 inch poisonous spider chasing you?”
