I still can’t over the fact that one of these movies introduces ROBIN, and one of these movies is the FOURTH in the series; that one of these movies is called Batman AND ROBIN, and one is called Batman FORever; and guess what?

Also, the current season ends (and the next one begins) on February 9, so optionally just wait a couple of weeks and jump into the new activities at ground zero like everyone else. Since seasonal content (like the Wrathborn Hunts this season) stick around all year now, there’s no reason to rush in and cram.

My wife has the opposite problem: her feet are blazing hot all of the time. She can’t wear socks under any circumstances, and when she sleeps at night she has to put her feet on ice packs above the covers. Near as the docs can figure, it’s some kind of neuropathy.

This is how the Digi-View product worked on the Commodore Amiga.

Looking back, one of the most important decisions of my life was when I was 12 and my father told me that he’d get me whichever one I chose for Christmas: the brand-new Coleco Adam attachment for my ColecoVision, or the older Commodore 64. Thank God, I went with the C64. I got that big, thick plastic-bound BASIC

I thought I found a region chest in there...?

I really, really don’t mind Maya Rudolph showing up every week, but just... add her to the opening credits already. Put her in the “Featuring” section, maybe. Or, right after the featured players but before the musical guest, “AND... Maya Rudoph!”  Every actor loves an AND.

Bungie: you can delete all those armor pieces; we’ll absolutely know what you’ve already discovered.

Use VeraCrypt to create a password-protected (encrypted) file container that mounts like a regular drive. Keep the password in your password manager of choice (LastPass has a desktop app). Fill with important files.

Yes, that seems to be what’s happening here: Adira is a human who was concealing that fact that they’re joined with a Trill symbiote, and is currently going by a binary pronoun to avoid even the implied plural of “them.” Now that the, um, cat is out of the bag, there will be no need for the deception.

Unless PvP is your thing, in which case the “PC experience” (aimbots, paid carries, and cheating in general) has historically been... not as great as console.

That’s Boston for you: liberal in the most conservative way possible.

Well, that could have gone better...

I’d bet my mortgage that you’ll never, ever see Game Pass on Playstation. You might see Sony build out a similar service, but they have a deal in place with Microsoft where such a service would likely run off of Microsoft Azure servers. So they get your money.

They would, but they probably won’t. The difference is that these titles will be $60-$70 retail on Playstation, while they’ll be day-and-date “freebies” on Xbox Game Pass. That’s almost as good as an exclusive, without being seen as unfriendly to gamers. And Microsoft is more than happy to pocket that money from any

The big difference is that they’ll be $70 retail titles on PS5, or day-and-date freebies on Xbox Game Pass. And if your choice is still the former, well, Microsoft will happily take your money.

My favorite WTF Sienkiewicz piece is the cover for the first issue of Marvel’s Transformers comic. I mean, sure: if you can get Sienkiewicz? You get Sienkiewicz. But still...?

These are the same people who complained before release about how Crackdown 3 was looking. It was a Crackdown game. That’s what Crackdown games look like. This is a Halo game. This is what Halo games look like.

I can very rarely tell when a game I’m playing is at 4K or 1080p (even on a 60" screen), or even if it’s HDR or not. But I can always tell when it’s 30fps vs 60. I would always prefer frame rate be prioritized over resolution.
