Halo 5 is only like 4 hours long. It’s absolutely pathetic, nonsensical and boring AF. Now you know all this, feel free to uninstall.

Doing a speed run from “I’m the King of the World!” to drowning.

A brightly feathered, singing T-Rex is the thought I can’t stop giggling about.

Australia has song birds about the size of a crow, they’re called Magpies. They are at times aggressively territorial, extremely intelligent, family orientated and very pleasant to wake up to in the morning.

Yep. Rename to Unisoft and start making good games.

I trust this rule is from 1998 and hasn’t budged since.

[WhiteDate had] A gender ratio that makes the Smurf village look like a feminist utopia

Lol. I like this Martha Root, I wish her many more happy hacking years.

Head on back to r/iamverysmart buddy, they are missing your vast intellect.

This is the game that put me off preordering forever. I got it just as it came out and it was SHIIIIIIIIIIT. After starting the game I would get 15 minutes of “xXBlazeIt420Xx beat your score on (some shit challenge)” scrolling up the side of the screen. I’d understand if it just told me my friends had beaten me, but it felt like telling me the whole world had.

Then there was the memory optimisation… Start a flying challenge, fuck it up, restart… IT TOOK OVER A MINUTE to load back to the start of the challenge.

If that wasn’t enough, the world just felt empty compared to JC2. There were vast areas of nothing but fields between towns and it sucked. I put it down a week after buying and never picked it up again.

I am well aware of the Hero’s Journey and have no issue with its popularity, but my problem is when it gets incredibly lazy, as large film studios with a franchise to pump out often do. It’s not interesting to have character with single trait who goes through a predictable arc with pointless or missing sub-plots just to end up at typical ending, yet that’s what we end up with fairly often.

Give me hints of backstory, three-dimensional characters and a story quandary that creates inner turmoil in the characters that actually makes sense. Throw out the first five drafts and come up with something clever that the audience didn’t immediately think of. Is that really so much to ask?

I enjoyed her in Super Hero Girls where she came across as more annoyed that she had to do anything rather than apathetic. I know it was a kids cartoon but it was still good. I fear this movie will instead showcase her as an apathetic shit head who doesn’t care about anything until big moment or love interest etc occurs and then she’ll learn her lesson yada yada.

Hollywood can be so boringly predictable it makes me apathetic myself.

I don’t know sort of gambling you’re into, but I’m curious to find out.

Yes but does it have to be dead at the time?

I’m really not sure why they felt the need to point this out in the article.

Handing online servers over to consumers…

Correct me if I’m wrong, but is Stop Killing Games specifically against this? This sounds like some Pirate Software bullshit. My understanding is we want the tools to host our own servers if the parent company decides to take theirs offline.

I’m willing to bet the new daily active users are largely bots. I remember Facebook pulling this shit last year: bots will count as active users, presumably so they can just keep adding bots and tell shareholders their active user base is growing. It’s all such a scam.

Oh cool. Thanks, I’ll check it out.

In a similar vain, I enjoy rewatching Chernobyl and thinking “what if this happened in the USA instead?” I just can’t imagine the government and people mobilising that quickly. Everything would have to wait for tender responses, companies would price-gouge for their efforts, people wouldn’t take “you will do it because it needs to be done” as an answer. The catastrophe would be way worse and clean up would have taken longer.

Agreed. I should have said letting the anticheat THINK it has kernel access, the same way WINE makes Windows programs think they’re on a Windows machine. I know this is an oversimplification and frankly I don’t even know what kernel-level looks like, but there has got to be a workaround that doesn’t drain resources too much.

Why? I have written a lot of custom macros and created forms to assist filling data fields in large spreadsheets. I have written macros that can open a CSV, comb through the contents and pick out the data I need to fill workbooks.

I’m not saying I’m especially tied to VB itself, I actually find it to be a pretty stupid language, but I do miss being able to write my own functions and effectly use Excel as a pre built GUI for whatever I’m trying to do. If there’s an alternative in Libre Office that I’m missing please point it out.
