It is only right that if a publisher wants to reap the immediate benefit of selling something digitally that they should then be responsible for maintaining owners access to that digital content. If they don't want to maintain it, release it on physical medium with offline play and eat that cost. No worthwhile product ships for free.
I was talking to a female friend and young Arnold Schwarzenegger came up on conversation. I pulled up a picture of him and spent a long time looking at it. Then said "I am trying to decide if he is attractive....
The kind of hypermuscularity that body builders have looks unattractive on any gender imo and not just aesthetically. It also is a clear message that they will not eat taco bell and watch Pokemon reruns at 2 AM with me.
Take 5. It is a gridded pretzel with peanut butter, caramel, whole peanuts, and chocolate. If you love salty sweet and you like texture this candy is everything.
You're a fucking moron. He was using hyperbole to express his point. If that somehow should exclude him from the conversation in your eyes, you're the problem.
I also struggle with browsers :\ It seems like every one is just a different shade of dogshit but Firefox is still my daily driver and I have few issues with it so idk what the guy in image is on about. Brave is overrated
Nah I love it. That's the bit, using it so nonchalantly sort of diminishes the expression. I don't think anyone using the meme gives a fuck about a Christ either
Yooooo thanks for making this! I traveled to go see it and explaining what it was like is actually rather difficult. Now I don't have to and the quality is beautiful! Where did you capture it if you don't mind my asking?
The chef was being an asshole. I make sushi for a living, I would love it if my tables behaved like this. Most of the time I get 14 rolls on a single ticket and it backs everything else up.

I have a million of these because for most of my young life I was a real piece of garbo. I've already talked on here once about my ghostbusters thing so I won't go into that again because it's in my post history but here are a few choice examples:
Had my lab partner completely convinced marshmallows were a special kind of sap harvested from exotic trees.
Many grievances against my sisters including: Convincing them that milk containers at dairy processing plants contained cows stacked vertically (complete with sound effects while we drove past) for many years, ghost living in the attic (me), and that my father had another family
Developed software for the express purpose of cheating in Runescape and then sold both the software and the rewards won by the software. Not my best moment but not quite as bad as
Bought herbal smoke alternatives off the internet and fumed them with liquor and wormwood and sold it to my high school aged peers as weed.

The fact that developers have to cater to multiple platforms that have hardware limitations and different operating systems has led to worse quality of games of time. Console exclusives are anti-competitive, monopolistic, and they lead to a terrible consumer experience.
This notion that hardware limits hold games back is nonsense and could only come from someone with no development experience. Hardware benchmarks have only benefited the ecosystem of games. Without those benchmarks and the gradual standardization of architecture that the last two gens of consoles have provided the indie market would not be flourishing the way it is. Not to mention it forces AAA titles to actually optimize their shit. Imagine a world where developers had no incentive to care about performance? "tough shit buy a new GPU." A true gamers paradise.
Yeah you're definitely right that there is still incentive to make games performant and accessible, AND that performance still often gets overlooked at launch and patched up post release (capcom and ubisoft you lil bitches), but I think the hard line of a necessary benchmark for consoles forces optimization to be worked on throughout development and helps indie devs manage their scope from the start as well as level the playing field a bit.
But all of this kind of misses the forest for the trees in that no game is going to be made more fun by loosening hardware restrictions.
Yeah it's really indicative of how low the bar has been set for content. Writing an article about someone else's article could only fly on the modern internet where everyone is desperately competing for even a second of your attention.
