- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 1 hour ago:
I shifted to that view a long time ago. I have a selection of “classics” I play on rotation and I add a few indies or modern ports every now and then.
The multiplay scene went in a direction I don’t intend to follow. Some old friends are thinking about hosting a retro lan party, but I’m going to make it clear that I’m walking if they try sneaking in any modern shit.

If the DLC is permanently owned and pays to the artists who made the map, that’s fine.
-
Even if it is “permanently”, but tied to a server that could be shutdown, it’s not permanently owned. Fuck that
-
If the DLC isn’t permanently owned, but “rented”, that profit only goes to the executives that probably fired the artists. Fuck that.

I don’t know why EA would be relevant to anyone for the past 20+ years, but here we are.

I was wondering why his face looked familiar. He was featured on Big Thinkers.
I’ll rewatch it later, but the only thing I remember about him was that he learned how to use his other hand as his primary after the mail bomb blew up his dominate one. Probably the only reason he had an episode at all was the bombing.

Ratchet & Clank had it’s first three games released in three years. Same graphics and no one cared.

With how Facebook forces real names, the idea that being anonymous has any influence where or not someone is a fuckwad had been debunked.

The Olsen’s Twins 18 Count Down websites were a thing.
Not just random websites any creep could make, but something mainstream TV talked about too.
More obscure, but Greg Kelly "complimenting an underaged worker for her bathing suit. He would later be fired. He’s on Newsmax now.

It’s was weird hearing the “debates” about where or not men should still open doors for women in an equal society when the obvious solution was for everyone to hold doors open for everyone else. Are you at the door first? Hold it open. Is the other person’s hands full? Hold it open.

I’m just happy that around me, everyone just holds doors for everyone else, regardless of gender. Guys hold open doors for guys. Girls hold open doors for guys. It’s not weird.

There’s an idea among foreigners that Americans use Mayo in every meal. It’s because there’s a set prop list for refrigerators in productions that every sitcom uses.
Another example is the Transatlantic accent. At most, it was just used by actors and public announcers because it was clear and easy to understand. The general public didn’t talk like that.
