L took a bit to start suspecting the supernatural, and he used a variant canary trap to narrow down the killer’s location, which at a minimum pointed to whoever was making decisions.

I’m tired and misread that as, “to prepare for eBay,” and thought that actually using the service to understand it before buying the company sounded remarkably sane for this guy. Or CEOs in general, actually. Alas.

My only pre-order was C&C Remastered, in the hopes that it would encourage EA to resurrect the franchise, or at least make more remasters. It did not. The remaster is excellent though.

I’ve been saying for a bit now that Linux games should be distributed via flatpak or similar to mitigate this problem.

Wait, does C read like valley girl speech in Greek?

Author was closeted trans, depressed, and taking a variety of drugs to self-medicate. She did a kickstarter to publish a book collection of the webcomic, was harassed by backers, and had a breakdown where she burned some of the ordered books before vanishing.

The book burning actually turned out to be kind of staged. She burned misprints, got someone else to handle distribution, and exploited the blowback to get away from the fandom.

Most Skyrim SE mods are compatible with Skyrim VR, so there’s a chance.

That depends on the bird, actually.

The corn pie is structurally weird, but the ingredients list looks pretty sane. It’s basically just meatloaf in an unusual shape.

Bruce’s mental state is also questionable, at best. In most continuities he’s pretty convinced that he wouldn’t be able to stop killing if he started.

I still don’t see why they copied this feature from Humankind. It was the worst part of an otherwise decent game. They should have learned from Humankind’s flaws and done something like keep your civ but change your leader by era. Same general concept, but feels much more Civ.

I had a cat that did that. It was less of a bite and more of holding me with his teeth. He was always very happy and purring when he did it. It’s definitely not universal behavior, though.

I also jumped on it at the first opportunity.

Regarding hype and interest, I think Valve is positioned to replace Xbox as the third pillar of the console space next generation, assuming they can get the manufacturing base. I also think they don’t realize that’s within reach, or even an option.

Kylo and Rey should have switched sides during the throne room scene.

I actually prefer Rebels.

Star Wars ships being faster is dependent on them following pre-charted hyperspace lanes. If something isn’t on a hyperspace lane, they have to travel at sub-light speeds. The Enterprise could warp to the other side of the star system in an instant and then wait hours for a Star Destroyer to catch up. Or go to the neighboring system that isn’t on a hyperspace lane and wait years for them. On the other hand, the ISD could cross the galaxy in a few days, provided there’s a charted path there.

And then it took another fifteen years for the Rebellion to go from disparate groups that fought each other as much as they fought the Empire to a united front.

Successfully ordered! :D

I feel like Christopher Robin makes more sense thematically. Gandalf is basically either an angel or a minor god, depending on how Christian-y Tolkien was feeling that day, and Christopher Robin being a human from London instead of a stuffed animal from the Hundred Acre Wood fits the concept better.

Call it Fish & Chips.
