Half disagree. They’ve taken a lot of risks in the past with designs that other companies wouldn’t have. Things that didn’t always pan out well and became the butts of jokes.

But yes, they’ve been a litigious company with ties to the Yakuza that people frequently forget as well.

So if I never buy a Nintendo product, I’m fine to emulate? Got it

That too.

Btw, do you remember an article written by a queer Black person who critiqued the first special? I’ve been looking for it for a while because it was the most succulent I had found on the matter. One of their criticisms was that Chappelle said that trans was a white person problem.

Being a professional athlete is terrible for long term health, but for different reasons. Sometimes there’s overlap like joint health though.

When I think of Chapelle now, I think of the time he had Musk on stage and call his audience poor for booing Musk.

Disagree. It’s a fun, self contain movie. The mechanical animations in the intro were done Hideaki Anno.

Halo 1 was never difficult with Cortana telling you were to go and the waypoint on screen. Assault on the Control/Two Betrayals has arrows on the hallway floors and I never got turned around in The Library.

If you really want labyrinth level design from Bungie, the Marathon series is were it’s at and completely explains why there’s so much hand holding in Halo CE.

True. The concept is a bit too complex for his brain to handle.

They should be teaching kids how to use Wikipedia properly rather then banning it out right. Use it like a search engine and follow the cited sources for real research. Check the authors of the cited sources for any bias. Check the edit history if something seems suspicious.

You get what you fucking deserve.

I don’t know if most of them are plants, but enough of them are. I noticed that during Obama’s terms. Nothing ever got done because there was always some D stopping shit. There were some usual suspects, probably the lowest bidders who didn’t plan on staying in office anyway.

So Twitter?

While I feel sorry for her as a worker, I do not feel sorry for her as a writer.

Live Service writing for AAA studios has got to be the most disposable form of fiction. I can find old short stories from magazines that closed close to a century ago, but I can’t play the Destiny series from start to finish today?

Apex has a story?

Stop believing that any of the super powers are good guys.

There are a lot of reasons to not like Thatcher that have nothing to do with her being a woman.

I was reading about the wet sleeved cylinders and didn’t understand why that wasn’t more common, but then again, car companies want you to buy a whole new vehicle rather then fix anything. Trunks now a days are way to posh for my taste anyway.

An old Lister or Listeriod clone would be king for power generation. Originally made in England and now India because the patents expired, these thing are massive stationary engines popular in rural India for running farm equipment and village generators. They’re also popular in rural Canada for running backup power for their low maintenance and reliability. If you’re setup properly, you can even change the oil while the engine is running.

God, I want one of those. I need to start looking again once my current diesel project is done.

I rigged up fuel lines so my small diesel generator can run off the heating oil tank. I have about 100 days of nonstop power. If shit looked really bad though, I’d be rationing that fuel on a 50/50 duty cycle or so to keep the fridge chilling while I use power for other things.
