Dude, a massive chunk of this website is in favor of complete legalization. While I am also assuming their position on drugs, given where we’re at, my assumption is much more likely to be correct.

Honestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple’s brand is partially form over function.

Technically, I think the base counts as US territory as far as citizenship-from-birth goes, but I could be wrong.

The big one for people born abroad is if one of their parents is a citizen at the time of their birth. If you’re an American citizen, go to France for college, and have a kid with a French citizen while you’re there, the kid will have both American and French citizenship.

I’ve seen ones modded into a laptop form factor. Does that not count?

Most railings I’ve seen really need to be higher. If the top isn’t higher than your center of gravity, there’s very little preventing you from going over.

A new take on the Steam Machine could potentially knock Xbox out of the market in their current state, and I’m okay with that.

I could generally take or leave their clutter items, but persistent NPCs with dynamic schedules or the full stat and inventory systems of the PC are still extremely rare, never mind both. Most games simplify NPCs such that they don’t actually have equipment or just have one item (typically an unlootable weapon) and reduce their stats to just HP and defense stats. By contrast, the only difference between an NPC and the PC in a Bethesda game is that the player has controll over the PC.

For me, if they moved to a new engine it would need those persistent fully-featured NPCs to feel like a Bethesda game. Ten years ago, there wasn’t really anything else that did that. Now, there’s got to be something they can make work. Hell, BG3 has all this stuff, it’s just from a top-down perspective. And it can handle ladders, which Bethesda’s engine still can’t do.

The puddle has an interesting flavor.

People have argued nobody would buy AAA if it’s not an open world with XP, skills and crafting.

See, I hate crafting systems. A game advertising its crafting system makes me less interested. Too many things to remember and the game grinds to a halt for several minutes while I navigate menus. Dragon Age Inquisition was particularly bad with entire sessions lost to inventory management. The Horizon games are bearable just because I can generate pointers to the stuff I need and I’m generally swimming in components anyway.

Skyrim had their best gameplay loop, but Morrowind’s writing carried the entire series. Very excited for Skywind to give me the best of both.

I’m the opposite. I prefer the fem VA, but I like Panam just a bit more than Judy.

I think back in 2016 a lot of his supporters didn’t feel comfortable telling people they wanted to vote for him, even with anonymous polls. Trump supporters are much more open and vocal now.

I was thinking of one of corpse displays in Hannibal.

Probably wasn’t even coded in assembly.

Devs have gotten pretty lazy with file size optimization these last couple console generations, now that they don’t need to strictly fit everything on the disc.

“Shit your trouser holes, Shovel is here!”

Unless it’s a 24 hour clock.

Says he’s a rescue. I’m assuming the person who sent him to fat camp isn’t the person who let him become obese.

Looking at release dates, just a couple days before Bookworm came out. I’ll have to try that one.

The ‘printer of fire’ error used to be a legitimate and important concern. Ye olde printers really could light their paper on fire under certain circumstances and they would typically be huge devices in dedicated rooms rather than something right next to your system. Letting people know to check on it when specific things went wrong probably saved a few buildings from burning down with people in them.
