My favorite/least favorite instance of this kind of oh-so-subtle dysphemism is when CNN (I think) ran a piece about some marketing suit’s complaint that millennials are “brand promiscuous”, for basically the same reason as we’re seeing with these streaming services applied to other products. This sort of thing is what led to r/DeathByMillennial.
After leaving it in my backlog for close to a decade, I finally started playing Fallout 3. Yeah. On a technical level it’s mostly fine, save for some shocking framerate dips and the way it sometimes repeats my movement inputs. Other than that, it’s a pretty good game, particularly for loot whores like myself.
If he’s not lying about not pulling the trigger, then he, or the firearms manager, also bought a dangerously cheap gun.
The whole thing was a cascading failure, imho, with Baldwin at the end of it, making him no less culpable than anyone before him. Ultimately, “I didn’t know the gun was loaded” is never an excuse.
An indie game called OneShot from the Undertale knockoff genre has only one choice that matters, but god damn what a horrible choice, particularly since a child has to make it. And by the way, the game is called OneShot because it’s designed to be played exactly once. If you want to play again, you have to mess with some files to do so.
I didn’t sleep the night after I played that part in MGS5. “We live and die by your orders, Boss” while morosely humming the Peace Walker theme – it’s like Kojima was trying to make the player share Snake’s PTSD.
Yes, we all do, and most of us outgrow it.

And yet the quote is still somehow not even remotely old.
All to make their job easier, lol.
Not a teacher, but what I keep reading is that they’re trying not to get pilloried by students’ screaming MAGA parents.
“Hmm, we just finished killing off a revenue stream, better raise rates on the other.”
Yes, I’m still mad about the DVD service ending. Legitimately hurt my interest in movies.
Switch 64, duh. :V
How much does it cost to repair a fender bender on a Suburban? Cus on an R1S, well…
Maybe I’m too optimistic, but I get the feeling that AI necromancy will be the next 3D. It’ll be a fad for a few years, and then we’ll wonder where “look kids, it’s [dead/old actor]!” went. Maybe AI will find a useful place in film, maybe it won’t, but I doubt it will be one of the main draws for very long.
Don’t remember if I played on your server, but UT2K4 was the definitive FPS, hell, the definitive multiplayer game as far as I’m concerned. Cutting-edge graphics paired with gorgeous esthetics, ultra-refined gameplay with a mile-high skill ceiling, a million game modes and a billion mods, strong community and developer support. If it’s good, it’s probably true of UT2K4.
I’ve picked 30XX back up, since it came out of Early Access yesterday. It’s a really cool Megaman X/Roguelike platformer with Playstation-esque visuals and gameplay that’s tweaked to perfection. Recommended HARD. In the interest of shrinking my backlog, I installed World of Goo last night, though I didn’t get a chance to play it. It’s well-reviewed though, so I’m looking forward to it.
Psst, it’s “err”, not “air”. Pronounced the same.
