It’s not a question of driving to the next town. Sometimes people outside the U.S. forget how large it is. Single states have the footprint of entire chunks of Europe. And in some cases, the nearest place to get an ID is hours away. Considering you’d need said ID to operate a vehicle, and we’re generally talking about…

Because as a non-American you probably have very simple, easy access to ID. There are myriad reasons why it can be difficult to obtain an ID - in rural areas with no public transportation and driver licensing centers an almost impossible distance away, for instance. Voter ID laws in this country are invariably…

Doesn’t even have to be that much of a conspiracy to it. I’ve lived at my current address for 10 years now, and I still get mail for at least 3 people who used to live here, whether they were tenants or roommates of former residents or whatever. I also regularly get my neighbors’ mail, because sometimes mail carriers…

I don’t think it would have stood out as much in my mind if there hadn’t been so much talk of it being “gameplay.” And at the beginning of the event, MS took great pains to specifically say they were showing all “real gameplay” because they listen to fans.

This is really interesting. I doubt my old NDA still holds sway at this point, so I might as well spill - years ago, I was in a closed alpha for a similar project from Harmonix (Rock Band, et. al.). It never really saw the light of day, but this is very similar to that project, so I wonder if there are former devs…

No, I completely agree - I went back and double checked which is why I found that video to be helpful. I think it would be more appropriate to discuss the airflow is optimized, not spend a whole article talking about how it stands up on purpose when it clearly can be placed on its side. I know there are a lot of…

People mentioned it a couple times, but it’s easier to tell in this video (pulled from a Kotaku piece) showing an exploded view. You can see the rubber pads, and then the places for 4 feet, on the right hand side of the console for the side that’s meant to be laid horizontal.

It didn’t bother me so much as it feels almost tongue-in-cheek. Hell, my girlfriend walked in when was dodging fire pillars and was like “is this Mario with guts?” and I just laughed and said “...basically.”

Would love to know how that affects those of us in areas where stores were mandated by the state to close effective yesterday. I can’t even get through to Gamestop support to find out if I can apply my pre-order credit to something else so that I can get the game digitally and use my credit later.

If you haven’t seen an excellent and well-stated comment from Sir Westeros, you must not come around these parts often.

Yeah, maybe this kind of comment is why I got randomly greyed sometime last year, but...

It’s amazing that these idiots can’t even get through relatively softball interviews without fucking up or sounding completely clueless.

I mean almost certainly it’s a thing being circulated on right-wing Twitter/Breitbart/whatever. I just automatically assume when one of these knuckle-dragging idiots says something obviously wrong and un-sourced that it was something that dripped out of Hannity or Rush’s mouths at some point earlier in the day/week.

And just like the 2007 recession, this is a great opportunity for companies to reduce their workforce now, then not staff back up when things rebound. Always great to force half the people to do twice the work! Great for getting that payroll number on the spreadsheet down. And don’t worry - in the meantime, if you…

It’s been a solid 40 years since you’ve *needed* a soldering iron to assemble a computer, so your dad might have been a little harsh there.

A friend of mine told me a story that makes me want to vomit just thinking about it... He used to have some kind of crazy long commute between offices in Texas and would chew to help stay awake on the long drive. Until, of course, the one fateful day where he was a little too tired and took a huge swig of the wrong…

This is fantastic. I’m gagging and laughing at the same time. Glaughing? Well done. I wonder if the turd-leaver ever knew the result of their handiwork... 

I’ll pull the lever for whoever wins the nomination (and voted Bernie in 2016 in the primary), but I’d like to remind you of what happened in the 2016 general and point out that this Bernie-bro hand-wringing over potentially losing support from of jilted supporters of another candidate is FUCKING HILARIOUS.

I responded to a thread where someone was ranting about Socialism and Venezuela and someone mentioned Denmark, but the other person just kept going on and on about Venezuela (because it’s easy to remember and always mentioned on Fox News, I guess?).

There are products that do exactly that on the market, like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mosquito
