The technical reasons including but not limited to “Nintendo told us to go fuck ourselves.”

The writers expected the 2016 original to end with a loss and a montage of all the wacky adventures up to that point, but when the miniseries got approved for a full 4 year run they had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for ideas. Now the reboot comes around and they’re looking for scraps discarded on the writer’s room floor.

Honestly you can get a lot done just by wrapping a rubber band or two around your phone, it’ll kinda catch and hold in your pocket and make it more notable if someone tries to pull it out. Works for your wallet too, and all without building a whole ass mousetrap for your pocket.

You underestimate how horny the internet is.

But it’s okay, because now we can get wrong answers faster than ever, and we’ve taken human creativity and joy out of art.

Turns out the rest of the world doesn’t stop just because some fucked up shit is happening.

I thought kickers usually avoided the kind of brain damage that would explain what could only be described as a blatant attempt to get canceled.

The harder you push the pedal the more you want your speed to decrease, obviously. But if you push it hard enough then the decrease from your current speed to Zero is no longer enough. So now the engineers need to decide if you’ll speed up first, so the decrease from the new speed to zero is larger, or if it’ll slam you into reverse instead.

Yes Elmo, I’m sure that will solve your problems. Well done.

It’s as finished as the game is going to be at launch, this isn’t “Early Access” where the game is still evolving. You can talk all you want about how games are released unfinished these days, that’s fine, but make no mistake. “Advanced Access” is the game as it will be on release day, with access granted a few days sooner. It is NOT still in active development as an unfinished product and is not going to see significant changes between the start of the Advanced Access period and public release.

Advanced access is playing the game in it’s Launch Day state, and any rules for time played should be consistent between Advanced Access and official launch. Your first two hours in Advanced Access will be the same as the first two hours if you only started on launch day. It’s the same game with the same refund rules, not your opportunity to red-eye your way through the whole game for a few days and still get an uncontested refund.

Sounds more like just closing a loophole.

This is not about early access, where you buy an unfinished game that may never be completed. Advanced Access is the fairly uncommon offering where buying some sort of special edition gives you access to the full, complete game a few days before official release.

Advanced Access is time spent with the finished, release-state game. There was no reason for this to have not been counted before.

So… they can identify when someone in a conversation is a minor. And they can identify when nudes are being sent. But when these two are combined, they figure just blurring the image is the appropriate solution?

In essence, when the growth rate slows to a certain point, people are dying faster than they’re being replaced, and the trend can only continue unless everyone starts having 10 kids.

Growth is growth. It’s not tracking only births, it’s tracking births against deaths. Population decline is people dying faster than they’re being replaced, but even “very slow growth” would still mean the population is increasing.

Of course there’s a lot of discourse, it’s a popular game, it’s a lot of fun and it’s been a long time since something so high profile was also so over the top in it’s satire.

Now I thought these comments WERE about the article, but if you want thoughts on the topic itself before you’ll be satisfied, sure.

There will always be people who miss the point. There are people who unironically think Starship Troopers is the best thing ever and represents a model society. There are also people who honestly think Fallout doesn’t contain any political commentary. There are people who thought SpecOps: The Line was just an okay modern military shooter. That isn’t a flaw of the media itself, nor is it the problem of people who do understand. Dummies with a complete lack of media literacy or social awareness aren’t a new concept, and the media they fail to understand isn’t responsible for them. It isn’t news that some people didn’t understand a thing, and trying to MAKE it news is just disingenuous and reeks of clickbait and lazy journalism.

Oof, looks like someone had a deadline looming and decided to take the non-issue of a few dummies lacking media literacy and blow it up into a full article.

It looks like you’re not especially familiar with HD2. Helldivers 2 has NINE difficulty levels, which you once again have to opt into. There is a degree of reward limitation, in that you have to be up at difficulty 7 or higher to get all possible reward types, but the meta-or-kick problem exists well beyond just the highest difficulty.

Big talk from a small man. The internet hasn’t forgotten the buried sub you were moderator of, Spez.

Good, he can ruin that and actually do some good for once in his life.

It was called Popcorn Lung because it was caused by a specific chemical used in early Popcorn flavored vapes. That is not a condition caused by all vapes, and the chemical that caused it is no longer used for obvious reasons.

Edited for the pedantic.

Concussion and head injury are a serious problem in Football today, so this tracks.
