Yeah, it seems like cops keep confirming that they don’t care about “normal people”, i.e. anyone that isn’t a cop. For example, the recent Seattle PD cop caught on tape joking about a woman killed by a reckless cop driving way too fast and not properly using his lights and sirens.

deemed that there would be no reasonable likelihood of a case succeeding against the officers, which suggests that through a review of the available evidence it was clear that he presented a genuine threat to the officers

Yeah, the thought process required to think that the words are the problem is very much a Principle Skinner “no it is the children who are wrong” kind of mental problem.

It sounds like they’re trying to have the iPhone be a stripped down Switch or Steamdeck. Which could potentially work, but the screen is still relatively small, so having video out options would be basically required.

Yeah, they’re so in love with family values that they want to force everyone to have families, whether they want it or not.

It’s hard to say if their total stocks really matters. The fact that someone is selling the maximum allowed stocks in the lead up to a financially impactful announcement is very suspicious, even if not technically illegal.

175.59%? Was the 175 a typo? If not, I suppose that reflects that Sisco somehow acquired more stocks during the period, only to turn around and sell them? Possibly through compensation like RSUs, but possibly also purchasing then selling for a small return.

It occurs to me that a potential plan here was to sell their stock before the announcement, then buy stock afterward. Though having said that, it sounds like a potential financial crime. Maybe insider trading? I suspect that just the selling in advance is potentially a crime.

Given the overlap of cops that are “authoritarians” and also misogynists, I’d guess it’s a bit of both.

That’s a fair assessment for games like BG3, where there’s a clear and defined ending. Tabletop games are more open ended, so it’s definitely more useful to transfer scrolls to your spell book. Part of that is maintaining the wizard’s versatility in the future.  But to me a big advantage is that you can also make you…

To be fair, I’d hazard a guess that the vast majority of BG3 players haven’t played D&D enough, or at all, and aren’t aware of this particular class feature of wizards. So it’s at least a useful thing to call out.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Jay made a second cleaner version but didn’t call it out. Though I also wouldn’t be surprised if other people came up with the same idea independently, because in my experience the racer/racist “pun” isn’t new, and it’s common in at least a few online places I’ve encountered.

Given all of the other stories behind the scenes of Predator, I feel like that story is almost a blip in the grand scheme of things. Also, with the varying takes on how/why Van Damme left the movie, it’s difficult to say if that injury even played into it.

That would fit with the article’s info. The monster’s design was changed to one with a much taller actor in mind, making the role impossible for JCVD.

I could be remembering wrong, but I think in one of the extended editions Remar’s face is visible for a split second either shortly before or during the first attack on the marines. But there’s no indication he’s supposed to be Hicks, and it’s so fast that viewers would be excused for assuming he was one of the fodder…

I could see a grey area where they include an X-rated game that also happens to be good. Which I would imagine is very rare. So if Heavy Hearts has good gameplay then I could see that being okay. Though I won’t rule out the possibility that it was only included because it was a favorite of the writer(s).

It looks like several people jumped the gun and commented on the title of the article before even reading the first sentence: “The Sword of Moonlight has been in most FromSoftware games since 1994’s first-person fantasy RPG, King’s Field.”

That’s good to hear.  Thanks!

Given the 3d cutscenes, it makes the gameplay graphics look that much more dated and jarring. I kind of wish they had bit the bullet and rebuilt the game in a 3d graphics engine, or found a way to replace the 2d enemies with 3d models.

Is this an MMO? This looks pretty interesting and entertaining (cat-cuddling!), but I just don’t have time for an MMO.
