Here is the source article. It's light on methodology. Are they going off of price of the game at launch? I maybe pay full price for a game once or twice per year. 50-70% of my unplayed games are probably from Humble Bundle/Humble Choice.

I loved Death Stranding, but anyone else feel like that guy putting on the bandana might have been Kojima making a little dig at David Hayter?

The character design looks very reminiscent of the MGS Delta materials we've seen, and Hayter has been more open lately about how miffed he was when Kojima dumped him for Kiefer in MGS V. That coupled with how much promo work Hayter has been doing for Delta makes me think it wouldn't be too surprising if Kojima was annoyed with him.

Tesla's stock history, for reference. I'm not an economist or finance bro, so I'm not sure how stock splits factor into a graph like this, but for the record, Tesla had a 5:1 split in 2020 and a 3:1 split in 2022.

My mom grew up in an area of California with no fireflies. When she was a teenager, she went on a cross-country trip with a friend. In the mountains of North Carolina, they were driving along at night when some bugs hit the windshield of their car. They didn't think much of it... until the bug guts started glowing. Then they screamed.

I have never seen a McDonalds that looks like the top pic. I remember plenty with play spaces, but they weren't visible from outside.

Very much same. I wish the Burning Shores expansion was a bit longer. It's kinda hard to call it a must-play DLC, but it's got some big stuff in terms of Aloy's character development.

And now it's gone, along with the expertise it housed from developing cult hits stretching as far back as MS-DOS games in 1997, through the iconic Shadow of Mordor, F.E.A.R., Condemned, No One Lives Forever, and The Matrix Online.

Fuuuck. That really sunk it home for me. Other than the Matrix, I played and loved all of those games. RIP Monolith.

The whole point of the Sword of Damocles was that the threat was always looming and Damocles didn't know when it might fall. We know exactly when Microsoft says they are going to drop support. There's a decent chance that they'll push that date back due to slow adoption at least once.

This is more about rats not fleeing the sinking ship until the sea has reached the bow.

Sometimes I don't put the cart in the corral...

I take it back into the store because it's closer than the nearest corral. Or I take my bags out before I go into the parking lot and leave the cart in the lobby cart storage.

Jill Bearup, a Youtuber and stage/film combat enthusiast. She echoed some shitty transphobe rhetoric in a blog post years ago and deleted them. Tom asked her about it after others made him aware and he gave a very reserved description of her reply that tells me she still holds views that he doesn't agree with or want to be associated with.

ETA: After donating what he estimated would be the proceeds of that collaboration video to the Trevor Project, he ultimately decided to take the video down altogether.
