Never bothered with the “need” to only participate in the coolest, newest thing. It’s all just meaningless excuses to shit on others and sooth their own egos. Those kinds of people aren’t worth worrying about.

So it was only one hemisphere, but instead of being clear and specifying actual locations, the vague description suggests the whole planet was affected. How unhelpful.

I don’t think her recent forays into sanity

Her insanity and bigotry syncing up with some key issues isn’t “sanity”. It’s random chance.

Eh, it doesn’t have to be the most stupendous, amazing victory for women to be important and good. Two female candidates would still be a huge deal, assuming proper primaries were conducted. That said, I would be astounded if the Republican nominee is a woman any time soon.

across two hemispheres

Is there any point to this distinction? Why not just say “the entire planet”?

If only I gave a shit what the gamergate idiot that posted this says about anything.

Well obviously.

You may be surprised how not obvious this is to some people, hah. But your suggestions are interesting. I feel like Valve is just constantly adding surprising features with the on-board tech. Would be cool if that stuff got added.

Screen off ≠ off. The deck will always have to be on and out of sleep mode to do anything like that.

I’ve only played parts of Synergy and Another Crab’s Treasure. The first was interesting for a city builder, which is usually not a genre I dig into. The latter was a capable Souls-like with a very different vibe. A parody of the grim-dark world of most others while still putting up decent combat mechanics and difficult boss fights.

Shouldn’t that car be in the hov lane too? Unless the toddler is driving alone…

I know them as yet another subtly different term - greebles.

It’s Swedish, I think.

An actor is not the character they play.

*Radcliffe

That’s a good point. Still doesn’t really comfort me when they’re not subject to the same standards and ethics of actual mental health workers.

The fact they have data on this isn’t surprising, but it should be horrifying for anyone using the platform. This company has the data from every sad, happy, twisted, horny, and depressing reply from every one of their users, and they’re analyzing it. Best case, they’re “only” using it to better manipulate users into staying longer on their apps. More likely they’re using it for much more than that.

ambitious

no multiplayer paywall

lol, fuck off. Better late than never, but this shit turned me away from consoles a long, long time ago.

Where do you tap your oyster card?

Fuck, this annoys me so much. The new-ish sony games are awful with it (Spider-man and GoW at least), providing beautiful, intricate worlds and levels to explore, but if you aren’t sprinting toward the next objective at every moment, it constantly bombards you with little nagging voicelines from npcs or even the main character themselves. I hate it.

Holding a button to do anything/everything. I can see the logic of where it may be useful, but it doesn’t need to be used for everything. So damn annoying.

*Oh, and similarly, forcing excessive submenus to do basic things, like continue a save from the main menu. That should be one, maybe two button presses, not 4+ along with a confirmation. I’ll never understand games with stuff like that.
