It’s all a weird act. Kids swear around other kids, adults swear around other adults, but oh no, you can’t let kids hear those dangerous swear words that they already know and use every day.

“Guess what! I’ve named a boil on my ass after you. It, too, bothers me every time I sit down.”

-Gheed, Diablo 2.

Also, if you compare the age of the universe right now to how long it will be until heat death, we are absurdly early. We’re in the first 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the universe’s lifespan.

Climate change was known and covered up by oil companies since the 1930s.

Textbook Lizardman Constant right there at the bottom.

There is much, much more overlap between them than you may think.

This may sound pedantic, but you’re looking for Fairtrade (one word) for the organization with the strictest vetting standards. Fair Trade (two words) isn’t regulated and just means they follow some sort of ethical code. It’s not necessarily bad, but it warrants more product specific research.

His house, the people’s choice. The information being available just allows people to make an informed decision of whether or not to use it, and in what way.

In other words, emulators are crucial for game preservation? This shows that Nintendo knows that, and when they say it’s not the case, they’re not simply wrong, they’re lying.

Rentals and used games had no such guarantee.

The original is still loss.

The worst was if it was a multi disc game and the broken disc was the last one. You’re invested, excited to see how the story ends, ready to smash Sephiroth’s face in, and it all grinds to a halt.

It’s also always either 5, 6 or 11 years (or 7 in very rare cases, when you’re on both sides of a skipped leap year like 1900 or 2100) between “day X falls on day of the week Y” events unless you’re talking about February 29.

Part of that is just selection bias. Very few people would post Amazon reviews for their shoes unprompted. But if something unexpected happens, like if they have a defective pair, they’re quite a bit more likely to go back and write something.

This is why I’m looking forward to the first few seasons of PoE2. It sounds like they’re starting out focused on making the moment to moment gameplay more interesting. They’ll cave to the zoom zoom crowd soon enough and ruin the game with power creep within a year, so I’m very much planning on treating it as a temporary game, but it’ll be fun while it lasts.
