Say Yaah to accelerate, and Whoa to slow down.

People generally don’t talk too much about things that don’t particularly stand out. If a game is bad, people will complain. If a game is good, people will praise it. If a game is middling, most people will just move on. Nobody’s going to start a discussion about a game that was vaguely enjoyable but not noteworthy, unless expectations were unreasonably high to begin with.

Trump: Move to the US to avoid tariffs.

Tech companies: India it is!

Yeah, write it for the person who has to replace you when you inevitably get laid off so that your company can hire someone for half your salary.

In the fiscal quarter ending June 2024, Microsoft reported over 500 million monthly active gaming users across all platforms and devices

I assume that includes Windows as a platform, which would include Steam users as well. It’s easy to look good when you include your competitor’s numbers in your own.

They don’t do all of what Proton does, but for email Hushmail is run out of Vancouver. The free account is quite limited in terms of space though, but it’s free.

What’s weird is they offer preorder bonuses, but no preorders available 2 days before launch.

I mean I think preordering is dumb anyway, but this is even dumber.

That “trying” is doing the heavy lifting in that sentence.

It’s also used nasally, sometimes.

Cans are still flawed. The inside is coated in plastic as well, so while the aluminum is recyclable, and indeed frequently recycled, the plastic inside is not.

Somebody stop them!

Dead Cells is 50% off on GOG right now.

If you enjoyed Hades, you might like the new Ninja Turtles game, Splintered Fate. It’s definitely a bit more than “inspired by” Hades. Doesn’t quite hit the same, but it’s still a good time.

Travel in, then travel back out.

They used to have a good reputation, at least a few years ago. Their stuff was a decent value. I don’t know what it’s like now, but it seems more like terrible business practices rather than poor quality products are the issue.

It’s a good way to make money by shorting his competitors’ stocks.

It runs fine on Linux.

It’s true that most people wouldn’t know, and probably wouldn’t look that far into things before buying a game. Fortunately Steam’s refund policy is pretty good for this kind of situation.

Either mine don’t have the coating, or I’m immune to it somehow.

That’s the key here. People who were willing to pre-pay for the game ahead of time are clearly not the target of the DRM, and yet they’re the ones choosing to cancel their purchase. It’s not pirates complaining because they want to play the game for free, it’s people who were looking forward to buying the game.

There was also a video a while back from one maker channel where the guy said that he got some type of nasty poisoning from breathing in fumes from ABS printing. Fortunately ABS isn’t as popular of a material as it once was, now that there are better alternatives, but I’m sure many of them still put out some nasty fumes.
