Also, if you agree to this and your wife dies due to allergies in one of your theme parks, they may use the TOS on this trial to rule you agreed to binding arbitration in court.

I have questions about how useful the basic information Dominos gets from me from their app will be to anyone. Android doesn’t let them just harvest roaming data any more.

I used to work at a Dominos, and their side items have always ludicrously priced for a while. There’s usually a “coupon” in their app with a substantial discount on pizza, it’s the only way I’d order from them.

It is true: Destiny 2 is rated by ProtonDB as “borked”: www.protondb.com/app/1085660
But there are an awful lot of other games with high ratings there. The Steam Deck has done wonders in getting Windows games working under Linux.

Saying “American people” the way the Beastie Boys would say “Another dimension”
- Comment on The RPG that inspired Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Demon’s Souls is now more playable than ever - Wizardry! 6 months ago:
Wizardry inspired a lot of games, but the three games listed have greater influences elsewhere. Sadly the games that were most inspired by Wizardry, sometimes called “blobbers,” have mostly died out: The classic Bard’s Tale games, Might & Magic, Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. Etrian Odyssey and the Japanese Wizardry games hold the torch but are pretty niche these days.
The demise of the original Wizardry series is one of the greatest injustices in the history of computer gaming, up there with the closing of the original Atari.

DOS Wizardry has a significant bug that makes it one of the worst versions.

We even learned this objectively during the pandemic. Even though it wasn’t really that much money, poverty rates declined due to the stimulus payments.
- Comment on Are American tv shows stuck in Act 2 for their entire runtime between season 1 and final season? 1 year ago:
Showrunnners are never absolutely sure how many more seasons they’ll get. If a show is popular, they could end up having to continue it after a conclusion. Or the show could be popular but corporate priority could be elsewhere, and they’ll be forced to wrap up promising storylines quickly. Even for shows that announce they have plans for a beginning, middle and end, it’s possible that they’ll be cancelled before end planned ending, or else have to stretch after the ending has been reached. Safer is to try to just coast along, being non-committal about major plot elements, until something happens that pushes the show to resolve things.

There has always been a market for telling people what they want to hear.
