Seems like a good move for everyone. If you like the Civ series and have wondered if there was a decent fantasy or sci-fi version, Endless Legend and Endless Space 1 or 2 have you covered, respectively.

Good catch. I was drunk when I wrote that comment on my phone. Either I misread the release date or I mistyped it.

Meh, the best way to play RDR was back in May 2014 2010 on an Xbox 360.

Remake RDR1 in the sequel’s engine you lazy bastards.

You beat me to it, because I was looking for evidence to support the dick pics thing. I can’t find any source I would be comfortable vouching for. Just a grain of salt there.

Dunno about TN, but in NC, a Weapon of Mass Destruction is a legal term referring to anything designed to harm more than one person simultaneously.

This led, for example, to a local headline about a man holding up a bank with a WMD because he used a sawn-off shotgun.

I don’t think he’s complaining about movie trailers. He’s talking about the Coca Cola and 12 year old M&Ms advertisements that run for 10 minutes BEFORE the theater plug and trailers start.

When I went to see Deadpool and Wolverine, I think the projector fucked up and we had to watch the ad loop twice. When the movie finally started 25 minutes late, people cheered just to see the Marvel logo

Dresden Codak? Jesus. That is a comic that I haven’t thought about in so many years. Now I have to figure out where the hell I left off so I can catch up

For the Thumbs Ups! Think of how many other porters used and appreciated your highways!

I like it so that the USB C will last longer. At least in theory.

It’s more than theory in my experience. I had a OnePlus 5 and lint completely ruined the USB-C port. I could spend 10 minutes trying to dig stuff out and get the cable right for it to establish a charge before I finally gave up and upgraded. It’s why I’m not AS annoyed that the wireless charging add-on takes up the port. As long as it’s also keeping debris out of the port (and the rest of the phone continues to run well) I’ll live with it.

The phone or the OS? Hardware wise, my only gripe is the lack of wireless charging. I use an aftermarket plug to add it, but it doesn’t put the charge pad quite in the right place, so I sometimes have to put it upside down. It also means the USB-C port is always occupied. That isn’t a huge deal for me as I like to use plugs to keep dust out anyway

Software wise, I’m still running regular Android. I don’t like that there’s no Gallery app. You have to use Google Photos. That coupled with the fact that .nomedia files don’t seem to work mean that the app shows ALL photos on your phone, including some you might want to keep private.

Other than that though, I’m pretty happy with it. Just upgraded mine to 15.

I think it’s a roundabout attempt to get us to wonder what the fuck Kick is. I’m not that curious.

Yeah, I stayed with my parents for a few months while I was house hunting and being limited to Level 1 charging was challenging. I couldn’t recover a full commute’s worth of charge overnight and would start each day with progressively less charge, so I’d have to swing by a L3 charger once a week or so. Still cheaper than gas though.

I think the rest of the article is worth the read. Apatow really was dominating Hollywood for a few years there.

Or… mountain folk who live up in the…mountains?

In North Carolina in the US, we might have official documents calling it a Driver License, but having lived here almost my entire life, I would use “driver’s license” in casual conversation.

Crazy to see the N64 so far down the list. I was a Sega-, then Sony-kid but it seemed like the N64 had a better market share than the graphic would imply. Might just be confirmation bias based on my age though.

I have to believe that whomever it was who coined the term “sex bot” would be very disappointed to see how the term is being used today.

I think this is a perfect idea for a Youtube channel. Maybe in Alt Shift X’s style. Just go through popular shows (ongoing or finished) and recap the big ongoing plot lines, characters, relationships, etc. One at the end of each season, maybe even one at the end of the series just for the sake of completion.

I saw a recap like this for the show Dark and, well, I was still lost through most of it, but it’s a good idea. That show’s a bad example.

I think you misunderstand their point. PostIdent would only be useful AFTER someone took the time to rate the game. Steam does not require any official content/maturity rating in their store, just some subjective content descriptors. To do so would pass an additional cost onto developers. The US-based ESRB process, for example, can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to rate a title.

Further to your point, I try to limit the number of times I provide my personal ID online. It’s one thing when you show your ID at a bar and the bartender gives it back to you after a glance. It’s another when I’m sending a photocopy over the internet and trusting a remote, distant party to use the data once and discard it. Even worse if they save it for future use and risk leaking it later.

No, but I remember buying my first smartphone (SymbianOS) without a data plan and being terrified that using the GPS function with pre-downloaded maps would accidentally run up a thousand dollar phone bill.
