Payment processors, if left on their own, would take any money from any person for any reason. This is more to do with a patchwork of laws that are trying to snuff out anything “adult” and will absolutely sweep up every party even remotely involved in the transaction.

They’re covering their own ass. It’s cowardice, not righteousness.

Absolutely essential for the full experience in a retro roguelike.

Usually repetitive and boring in 3D.

The “late, great” Hannibal Lector.

Might be too late. They changed the policy a few years ago when they introduced mod packs. They didn’t want entire packs to fail if one person pulled their mod, so total deletion was disabled.

Folks can still hide their mods and make new individual downloads impossible, but it’s still there in the background.

(All this is from memory. I hope I’m wrong)

Ha, T1 is so outdated, his team doesn’t even know it’s an existing slow standard.

It’s like naming your new gold-plated “luxury” car brand “Horse & Buggy.”

I’ve always maintained that the first was a fine game that was tanked by the price. It was priced to drive gamepass subs, not sell the game. At $35-40, it would have been received much better, imo. Years later, now that it’s more appropriately priced, it seems to be more well-reviewed.

Unfortunately the second is going down the same path. It may take 5+ years for the game to be appreciated to its fullest (assuming no glaring issues), through no fault of the devs.

Ban dihydrogen monoxide!

“We’re putting cameras in every room of your house, but we pinky promise to only ever look at the feed from the kitchen.”

We can make his every dream come true and make him the first person on Mars.

One way trip, though. Everybody wins.

No.

See how easy that was, national Dems?

Bungie is a lot like Bioware in that regard: Some real bangers on the resume, but none very recently. It should serve as a reminder that companies don’t make games, people do. If the right people aren’t involved, or too many of the wrong people are, past successes are entirely meaningless.

I thought that was a little strange, but after looking it up, it’s probably a defensible phrasing.

He was only convicted of two murders, while the definition of “serial killer” is three+ murders (plus some other qualifiers). The list of other killings he was suspected of doing, but which were never proven or convicted, would put him in the serial killer category. So it’s fair, in a journalistic sense, to say he was “an accused serial killer.”

Kindred spirits.

As a compromise, he’ll just go with Gulf of Qatar. For absolutely no specific bribe … sorry, reason at all.

If riding in normal lanes on the highway instead of getting special access is “having no rights as people” we are a long way apart on what “human rights” really means.

IMHO, HOV lanes were originally intended to encourage carpooling and getting cars off the road. Since nobody under 16 could even potentially be (legally) driving on their own, they shouldn’t count as occupants at all.

Two+ adults required.

Let’s not overlook the historical significance of another PC-exclusive (until some much later ports) action-platformer, the Commander Keen series.

The success of the first release inspired the creators to quit their day jobs and start their own company, id software.

He literally doesn’t believe in germs.

The way she not only says the number, but pauses and makes sure everyone is paying attention… I’m thinking she is just that god damned stupid.

There isn’t an issue on earth that he doesn’t see as transactional.

“I make money for you, you cover my ass” is his one and only worldview. Whether or not anyone else explicitly agrees to that deal is irrelevant. He simply can’t even imagine a world where that isn’t the default that everyone has.
