    Until you spend 3 days and 20 emails trying to make them understand what you're actually saying/asking that would could have been solved by a 10 minute face-to-face conversation.

    Season 1: yes, absolutely Season 2: Sure, why not? It's not too bad and Kim's a bigger focus because of the nature threat Seasons 3-x: It gets exceedingly samey and tropey and Jack goes more and more unhinged. They kind of try to deal with that as the public's attitude toward the War on Terror...

    Sony's not selling. It's a cash-cow for them and always has been. One of the more consistent properties for them.

    I'm out of clothes. Some christmas church service a decade+ ago. Isn't it always? No Old enough No, because if it were to happen I'd just go somewhere else. They want to make my life difficult then

    Are you in lead gen / cold prospecting? What's the strategy?

    I interviewed for a position that was "market research" back in college. In reality it turned out to be soliciting of garbage that even Dollar Tree wouldn't be caught dead hawking. The #1 thing the guy I went around with said was "Rule of 10": For every 10 people you bother, 1 will buy...

    Yeah. I didn't really think to talk about turning but most tank controls are like Diabolical said: stop and turn in place. Tomb Raider had the side-to-side jump and the best way to avoid enemies (without guns) was to simply backflip while shooting the pistols.

    Magic the Gathering: Arena

    I bought a Dimir Control deck. Game 1 Slime Against Humanity folded to the black Wrath with a Surgical Extraction taped on. Some more games that demonstrated just how bad Control is in modern Magic and a couple more wins. Edit: Ok, last match was another Slime deck that tried to have more than...

    Tank controls refers to forward always being character relative whereas in a modern third-person game forward is usually camera relative. So pushing forward in a tank control game would make the character move to the right if they're facing to the right of the camera. Whereas in a camera...

    Elongated Man on Flash was silly looking but they played that silliness into the character and actions and it mostly worked. At least once they let Ralph stop being a raging asshole by design and intention and developed him into a decent character.

    Resident Evil 1 came out earlier that year as well and I know that people were referring to it as tank controls around the same time as Tomb Raider. It's probably the fact that most third-person games of the era were using it. And ludonarrative dissonance was popularized half a decade earlier...

    Judge sides with OpenAI, dismisses bulk of book authors’ copyright claims

    Its most likely not breaking any laws because copyright is intentionally broad and vague so as to not hobble the ability of new technology and creations to be made that uses copyrighted works in novel ways. It's why every time some new technology that's not controlled by copyright holders from...

    They released a bunch of the box topper styles as a bundle back around Christmas when they released the supplemental holiday boxes of LotR. I think they might have also had a daily sale on a few of them a couple of weeks ago. I just wish I could get Toltec's Shadowspear. That art is sweet.

    Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off

    If you're a teenager on the receiving end of yet one more type of (avoidable and created by a billion dollar company's desire for moar profit!) bullying because of it you'd probably change your tune. Be as dismissive as you want but understand that you're just feeding into the idea that the...

    IIRC the only thing that actually required translating was the and those didn't actually do anything within the game itself.

    When profit-motive no longer exists then the people left doing it will be the people who want to be doing it.

    The industry is a slow moving ship. Live services have been dropping for a couple of years now and it's been clear that most aren't viable for a bit longer than that. Most companies had so much sunk into their approach that they refused to accept that they probably weren't beating the odds so...
