The Anytime Fitness logo reminds me of these. Like I know it’s supposed to be a little running guy but every time I see it I just think “badly-drawn swastika with a head.”

The headquarters was coming right for him!

I just checked and my three aren’t on the list, thankfully (two 665s and a 650). Best remotes I’ve ever had, hands down.

Has anyone come out with an equivalent spiritual successor product yet? I’m gonna lose my shpadoinkle if one of mine dies and I have to go back to remote hell or some janky universal remote and codebook.

That was my first thought as well. “Intel gonna sue somebody.”

Shit, you’re right, I forgot all about that, it’d been so long since I’ve played it. Starting a new game with an existing character keeps your stats/inventory but resets the rest of the world.

I guess I’ll go ahead and buy that sword now.

I’m two evenings into a D1 (DevilutionX) single player story run though. Can confirm. Definitely much slower and more deliberate, and not just because they hadn’t invented running yet. Nothing respawns, the world is fixed from the start, so everything is a limited resource. Do I really need to buy this sword now or should I try to hold out for something to drop? Much more strategic gameplay… Slow forward exploration, hiding behind doors and corners letting monsters come to you one by one, stuff like that.

In the later games I’d just whirlwind through everything (spin2win, baby!) and hope for the best. If I need more gold or whatever I can always just save and exit and come back in and run through the area one more time. Definitely not doing that here. Every choice matters, so slow down and make it count.

Wow, and here I thought Path of Exile’s currency was complicated.

Clearly they have ghosts in their blood and they should probably do cocaine about it.

Quentin Tarantino’s 10th and final film.

Yeah I’ve seen some YouTube videos and it definitely looks like it’ll be a fun ride if I make it that far.

My friend finally convinced me to try PoE. I generally like it, but it seems… Unpolished? I dunno. Kinda stuttery. Too much going on. It’s like they’ve just accepted and (mostly) implemented every single feature request they ever got without necessarily thinking about how it should work with all the other stuff. Not really a fan of the item/jewel/currency system or the skill tree. Like, I just want to play the game and kill monsters and make things go boom, this is too much work and planning.

I do love the carnage, though… When my level 5 or 6 fighter guy swung a regular white text sword for a regular non skill attack and it took out like 5 zombies at once, that was really nice. Never did that in Diablo.

That’s my highly unscientific opinion after playing for about a week. Sounds like 2 is going to clean up and address some of my complaints, so I’m looking forward to it.

Can still use Spicetify on desktop?

I’m sorry, Calvin.

No idea. Yamaha was doing pianos long before they were doing motorcycles, so it can’t be them. I can’t think of a company that started with motorcycles and then moved into pianos.

Pour one out.

Vertical grip may be a little more useful if he’d actually attach it to his gun. Gotta be hard on his wrist to just hover the gun up there like that.

Screw those guys. They can take a long walk off a short inclined plane.

Sed Porttitor isn’t even that good, I dunno why they need it on their menu a half a dozen times.

I read that as “water elephant” at first.

Hell, I’d permanently lose interest in working for a measly $55 billion.
