tfw you read the first sentence but don’t make it to the second ;(

if whoever suggested the anchovy pizza knew that most people there didn’t like anchovies, and therefore wouldn’t have a preference, allowing shit-sandwich to win, then yeah?

if you honestly believe that’s the future of the us, you should probably leave the country

you should probably have been planning to leave the country for the last three months, since the election never went more than 60% in harris’ favor

being angry at voters who didn’t vote the way you wanted them to isn’t going to actually achieve anything, though

harris didn’t even win the popular vote. it wasn’t even a particularly close election. you can’t not blame the dnc after a defeat like this.

can’t answer for wow but i imagine the change is similar for runescape, where

• people engage with the game more efficiently than before, which slurps the fun out
• people have jobs now, so they don’t have as much free time to play games

the tld is .uk in that case

just take the L good lord

• absolute population growing
• share of population with feasible access to pokemon-compatible consoles growing
• share of population who see video games as a legitimate pastime growing

workers losing their jobs while executives keep theirs is bad

“go off sassy ancap” good lord it’s like talking to a child

have a good one, mate

correct, because they’ll just wriggle off to another company

you know you can just admit you read the title wrong and said something stupid, rather than doubling down? rather than pretending you meant something completely different

it’s not the devs saying it, but it’s the devs who are punished

• Decay of radon-222 isn’t the only way lead can be created, just a way
• The U238 that started the chain could pre-date the earth
• Half life is only when half of the sample has decayed, but less than half could have decayed into lead

literally is objectively correct in this context

from the big stew out back

Hackers acting as if they’re doing a public service by bringing down a free publicly accessible tool is a new level of assbackwardness.

are the zendesk hackers the same as the ones who brought down the website initially?

giving somebody a gift card for a product or service you think they specifically will enjoy is objectively more personal than giving them cash, yes

you don’t need to finish it, just get to the point where marlon brando lets you use them to find the queen

e.g., starfield would’ve been a very different game had you been able to fly space -> surface, and had there been vehicles to do actual exploring with

it would’ve completely changed the way the game plays, and opened up new possibilities for design. it also would’ve removed many of the oft-criticized loading screens and made the whole experience flow better.

but they can’t do any of that, because the engine isn’t good enough to support it.

sometimes you can’t make a choice because the engine says no
