Breaking News: Honda has stopped production on 2020 Honda Civics.

My area had several school districts that were forced to shut down because there weren’t enough uninfected bus drivers to bring kids into school, and (with admittedly poor planning or political pressure) were not able to go to virtual learning on short notice.

Obviously, nobody should be subjected to harassment from customers. And if you view game development as a service-based industry instead of a product-based industry (which, of course, is the direction of the industry as we are painfully aware), devs are going to be subjected to the same kind of customer harshness as…

Agreed, I got a Kishi on a whim when Game Pass started adding more cloud options, and it works great. There’s something pretty surreal about playing full-blown Xbox games on the phone. I wouldn’t use it as a primary device or anything, but that’s more my own laziness of having to take off my (admittedly bulky) phone ca…

“Happy Gift Day, here is a shirt I wore, please feel free to wash it if you’d like, but I can assure you it holds sweat properly!”

Not for nothing, but this is the most esoteric complaint I’ve heard to date. Since we’re sharing individual opinions of experiences, Sony’s UI is phenomenally bad and seems almost intentionally hostile. And I personally don’t give a rat’s ass about screenshots. So, for me, the PS5 stays powered off in my…

I was replying to your comment, “That does make a lot of sense in theory. I wonder how likely it is in practice though.”

The point being, there are plenty of examples of “practice,” specifically in the US, of what labor unions and laws do. Your comment appeared to be in regard to the “theory” of labor unions advocating…

SAG represents minimum standards for fair wages and treatment of workers. It does not, however, negotiate individual contracts and/or bonuses, ‘featured actor’ credits, etc. If you have an opinion on that particular industry and organization, I’m sure you’re also familiar with stories like “actor X saved X production…

I don’t know, do you think it’s possible to examine 100+ years of organized labor efforts in the United States? I don’t know where we could find any evidence of people literally dying for fair wages and working hours and national labor efforts to create federal legislation.

As you say, not all unions are created equally, and most people do not understand the difference between organizations. A blanket “good union vs bad union” discussion is not helpful. Anybody considering membership should do their research, and of course for the most part, people just want to shut up, collect a…

Oh, totally, but not one tiny bit of that came across while playing. If I looked at random stills from any game that weren’t taken in a curated photo mode or whatever, most would probably look weird. Or if I grabbed one frame of film during a weird shot.

The thing I love the most about 40k is that I only have a passing knowledge, and every time I read someone post even a distilled explanation like this it sounds like they just had a stroke at their a keyboard.

Underrated.

Right, it’s the period of time when Yoda was getting High AF.

Press X to LUUUKE!

“I hate that this game made me do something linear for a bit, but I love playing a game whose entire premise is forcing me to repeat the same shit every time I die.”

I’m not trying to insinuate this is the best-looking game or anything, but I will say the stills from it do not do it justice when running.

There were also several articles all across the gaming press (not here, of course!) about the size of the multiplayer patch, the separate campaign download not going live until 1 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. UK, etc.

I get that posting super-forced-sounding hot takes is part of the job, but maybe have a couple fewer pints next time before you “put [your] boy to bed, and then come down to” start a new game, mate. You’ll be more relaxed going through a ~45 minute intro that apparently took you two hours.

And I realize I speak from…

How about cutting down on the invasive Lionfish population? From what I understand they’re quite tasty, especially when fried.
