I am pretty sure the average time a vaccine needs to be trialled for is 5 years isn’t it?

But by that definition, are the Shadow of the Colossus or Demon Souls remakes? Bluepoint rebuilt them from the ground up, but they’re fundamentally the same games.

This ranking is by “hours played”. Unless they put out “play multiplayer for 20 hours a day for the rest of your life!” exclusives, they’ll never show up on this list, no matter how “system-selling” they are.

lmao get fucked.

You really can’t turn this around into ‘perhaps it is u who are petty’ - the guy gleefully harassed and targeted minorities, and much of his anguish was that his website matured (to a degree) while he didn’t. The Something Awful website bankrolled his entire lifestyle even as he grifted and complained server costs…

Something Awful produced a wild amount of humor and culture for decades and had a massively outsized influence for a long time. It was a place where I learned a lot about writing, about politics and some other things.

If I’ve only ever had vanilla coke then yes, that is actually a helpful description. Especially if, in this hypothetical reality, vanilla coke is significantly more popular than regular coke amongst the general public.

You missed the ‘Its’.

Except they’re not, it’s even worse.

Mass Effect 1 in the Legendary edition still has unlimited ammo...

I have no doubt that the dev team crunched to get out the extended cut. At the same time, I’m wondering who on the team actually thought that the last 10~20 minutes or so of the game was a good way to end Shepard’s trilogy. I mean, it’d work for a game where all the characters were generic with no real development…

Out of curiosity, being one foot inside. Do the devs really thought that ending was going to be great? That the fans will be happy to finally reach the end of each companion journey, then head in to the citadel and be happy with this ending?

People really zero in on this as a problem but I’m personally not convinced it is. To me, what matters is the illusion that your choices matter. Good writing can make it seem like they do without actually having to diverge too significantly along a branching narrative path. That’s just my opinion, though - people who…

Based on other interviews, I will blame Casey Hudson for the not-so-great ME3 ending and causing the studio to have to re-work the ending. From everything I read, it was his idea to come up with the Star Child and have that ending. He overrode his writing team’s ideas.

For some fans, that ending came out of left field…

Transfer the cost to patrons. I would go out of my way to eat somewhere good where the food cost 20-30% more that was open about paying their employees a living wage and encouraging other restaurants to do the same by eliminating tipping, and I know a lot of other people would too. Fortune favors the bold.

If you can’t afford to pay waitstaff a livable wage, you shouldn’t run a restaurant. Find a different business to run or get another job.

You can go to countries right now that have successful restaurants (like, thousands of them) without a tipping culture, and even have a much higher minimum wage.

Increase the price of food and pay your employees. If the food and experience is good, patrons will continue to come to your restaurant regardless of the price increase.

You receive zero stars. Tipping is an awful system that serves no one but the employer that wants to cheat employees on wages and customers with misleading prices. At a time when better restaurants in America are abandoning the racist practice of tipping by just paying their employees better, there’s no good reason…

Unfortunately we’re in something of a loop when it comes to the conversation of tipping.
