Most of these anti-housing comments read to me as “I have zero creativity and never made my own custom bases for my GI Joe figures” I used to make earthen dams with water behind them and bases made with blocks and sticks so I could have environmental destruction as my GI joes fought. These...

My only memory of the ET game was I was at a house as a kid and the kid who lived there asks if I want to play an Atari game, so I look through the small pile of games and say "how about ET?" and he responded "that game is stupid, pick another one". I think he eventually played it to show me...

I got a laugh out of seeing this in the comments of that interview

Tigole lives!

Their infamous licensing process. I recall there were unlicensed games for a hot minute - Tengen I think was the publisher? They made a version of Tetris due to some game rights snafu and some other games. I think they had Gauntlet also? Nintendo sued them. If I recall, the argument was...

Division 2 had more than 5 devs originally

Why the fuck are all these lawsuits coming from the UK? First they implement all these “won’t someone think of the children???” Digital ID laws that are just an excuse to conduct surveillance on adults, now their dogshit tech laws are letting people file moronic lawsuits about on par with that...

I like how everyone calls him Temu Wesker

Good for that actress in any case - that has got to be a huge improvement for her health

Only things you probably need to know from the first 1 1) Cole is descended from Scorpion (although this didn’t really go anywhere). Pretty sure Cole will get killed in the first 5 minutes of this new movie, so only adding this since it may help explain Scorpion motivation in this one 2) Like...

Same reason you remember some random actor or actresses name from a tv show or movie: you like them and it helps you identify them in other stuff. Or meme reasons I’m sure most non-noobs on this board know who Kate “the hoof” is

X to doubt, unless you were raised in some Mormon bubble

There was for sure a lot of plotholes or head scratching moments. "This thing will create global anarchy!!! Oh well, time to destroy it!". Dude is so chaotic that he even is chaotic in choices regarding his plan lol

Ya, it is easy to forget, but TOS fans initially did not like TNG at all. Then when DS9 rolled around, TNG fans didn't think it was "real Trek".

In the show Chuck, there is a scene where one of the characters loses all his memories of movies he watched. So he watches the Star Wars movies, but he starts with episode 1 and the prequels ruin his enjoyment of the OG trilogy. He then mentions he saw the first 3 Indiana Jones movies and asks...

That is why something like New World or Dune: Awakening is my preference - you have 3 skills at any given time that you can assign to QER, which makes it much more intuitive when you're moving around using WASD and mouse. Shit where you have to be a classically trained Pianist to play...

Lexx being so fucked up was what made it great. It also had some great science jokes buried in the storylines. Like the 2nd season basically had a "grey goo" storyline where these robot arms kept replicating and eventually they consume all matter in the universe and to defeat them, they force...

DSV went off the rails in the later seasons. 1st season was mostly "grounded" stuff - geopolitics and sea pirates and helping with disasters/rescues (basically normal Navy stuff cept in the future!). Then 2nd season started to introduce shit like time travel and aliens and Roy Scheider said...

Farscape will come back any day now… …any day…

I missed the whole TCG train. MTG came out and I remember I bought a starter deck and some boosters...and then people stopped playing it at school completely before I even got a chance to play during lunch. That was my last attempt at trying to get into a TCG. Although I bought a bunch of...

It is/was a TCG card game that was big around the time people were buying Pokemon cards (early 2000s). Think Magic the Gathering. Early 2000s was a wild west of TCG card games - everyone was making them because they were hoping to cash in on the Pokemon card fad. I had a friend who collected...

End of the day, money is what changed stuff. Games suddenly had budgets like Hollywood blockbusters because big publishing houses were willing to toss more money at projects in the hopes it would equal big returns. With more money comes more expectations, so you need to bring on more people to...

Nah, Deep is going to die. He was becoming somewhat sympathetic in earlier seasons, so the writers did a hard 180 and went out of their way to counter that. For example, when he lets his Octopus girlfriend die and doesn't do anything to save her.

I had to look it up - they stopped publishing Nintendo Power back in 2012. Before Nintendo Power, they had the "Nintendo Fun Club" which was free to join. You got a membership card and like once every couple months they would send out some free mini-magazine that had tips and glitches (I...

I mean it's a pretty big plotpoint in the final part of the comics

Pc Accelerator was such an awesome magazine

Gatekeeping and resistance to new science has always been a thing. Go back 60-70 years and plate tectonics weren’t widely accepted. It really wasn’t until the discovery of the mid Atlantic ridge that irrefutable proof finally made it gain widespread acceptance That being said, you do need a...

Like I said before, if they dropped that trailer in the middle of the game awards, it would have never received the level of pre-release hate that it got. Would it have done well? Probably not unless it got insanely good word of mouth, which it wouldn’t have with its launch features.

I remember being in early WoW beta and lots of people asked Blizzard on the beta forums to add mailboxes and auction houses like FFXI. They eventually added them before launch. They’re expected features now, but at the time it wasn’t a base feature in MMOs

That too - I think I got 1 group and they were nice, most times they wouldn't group with westerners. Part of it was probably language, but westerners were new and didn't know how to combo properly as a rule. I remember one interaction where a group was looking for a party. I asked to join and...

I've seen full lunar before - they're neat, but not on the level of a full solar

I played for a bit when it first came out in the US. I got to level 30 more think and noped out because my friends outleveled me (at the time a 3 level difference basically killed xp gain) and I got sick of spending 30 minutes finding a group and 10 minutes to kill a single mob for 1/10000 of...

I think that mechanic falls under the “if you’ve played enough games in your life, you know to gtfo out of the glowing death zone, especially when there are multiple platforms and only 1 is targeted”

Spoilers for the game, but I got a lol out of the PTSD Henya was feeling for this part

Have you seen recent MS offerings? They're all AI integrated.

Stuff like that worries me because it is either a design issue or a match performance issue.

Netflix will be the long term winner - apparently they get close to 3 billion in compensation for the deal falling apart. I suspect paramount might have to start selling assets soon, regardless as to any hypothetical monopoly concerns (which I doubt will be pursued)

Because Elison owns CBS, Tiktok, and now CNN (doing to guess the current admin finds no monopoly concerns at all). Given what happened with CBS and Tiktok, not hard to imagine CNN turning into Fox News 2.0

Good video on the topic - basically the common ancestor of great apes like humans and chimps developed the means to metabolize alcohol

While it isn't directly in that news story except them sending probes to outer planet moons to find life, I bet by the season finale they'll find evidence of methane based life on Titan and Titan will become the next settlement target. Then they get to have a whole plotline of whether it is...
