Can confirm Watch Duty is the shit. They’re how I figured out the evacuation alerts (PLURAL) we got were errors.

Yeah, there’s a reason we don’t let children into casinos. Putting cute cartoons in the casino on their phone just makes it worse, if anything.

I read an article about a leather artist who recycled secondhand Gucci (I think? It was a big name fashion brand is all I recall) bags into wallets and things like that, and despite everything being clearly labeled to make sure nobody could mistake it for an official product, they had a similar experience. I wish I could find the article again, because I don’t remember what came of it and my search skills are failing me.

Wow what a blast from the past, I remember having to help my sister play this game when she was little.

Not sure I’d consider things like the ability to make your character trans a symptom of anything other than the game being made in the 21st century.

If the game is dog shit the people crying about it being woke will still be the idiots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think I played a ROM of that when I was younger! It’s the text based game right?

If you don’t like the game, at least listen to the soundtrack. It’s still one of the best game soundtracks IMO.

It’s okay, the internet drought is over, we don’t have to ration posts anymore.

Chrono Cross, despite being a 3D game made in the late 90s, has also aged pretty well if you want to give it a play too. If the game style doesn’t look to your liking the soundtrack is still great.

I don’t have the time/money/bug up my ass to do it, but I feel like buying a few components, not using them, and sending them in for “repair” after a few months would be an interesting way to audit their warranty coverage.

The news coverage it’s subsidizing is… not always good. Article is a year old, but little has improved.

FFVII has what is probably the most memed on graphic onscreen murder in the whole franchise. As graphic as you could get with those polygons anyway.

Almost none of the profit made off AAA games goes to the people actually creating the game. They don’t get a bonus if the new Madden makes $10 mil more than the old one. You’re tossing hundreds at the CEOs and saying it’s worth it if the devs get a few pennies.

Many of them probably aren’t even at the same studio anymore by the time you’re buying the game.

You’re still doing it, despite multiple people pointing out that someone’s pay doesn’t mean they are the most qualified.

What lesson are you trying to get people to take away here? Because “gender and race are irrelevant” and “the highest paid people in the room (who happen to mostly be white men) are the most qualified” are exclusive messages. You’re also very insistent on casting only women and minorities as getting jobs for reasons other than their qualifications.

Do you think Elon Musk is the most qualified person working at Space X?

Yes, you are side stepping to avoid acknowledging that women and/or anyone who isn’t white tends to make less than their white male colleagues of the same (or worse) qualifications, while simultaneously framing the higher earners (who coincidentally happen to be disproportionately white men) as the “best” people in the room.

So the highest paid person in the room is automatically the best, which statistically just happens to be white men? That sure is interesting.

I agree, white men shouldn’t be paid more than any other group just because other white men are in charge of hiring.

25 years in the making!

I’ve been watching a few streamers play this game, and the pixel art animations are honestly amazing. Every time a new cut scene is triggered it’s just delightful to watch.

I’ve been playing Tin Can lately. Figuring out how to survive each event and deciding what parts to cannibalize is really enjoyable to me. I’m almost up to 25 minutes surviving!

That’s wild! I’m in my mid 30s and assumed that kids were only learning touch typing more than I had in school (it was an optional class). Conversely, I go insane trying to type something of any real length on a phone/tablet screen and I’m sure a lot of them could screen type way faster than me.

Your all time top speed beats 99.42% of all other people.

Your all time average speed beats 95.57% of all other people.

Do not many people use this website, or is 105 wpm top speed and 87 wpm average speed actually that crazy? I just learned to type like this in high school.
