  • Pet Peeves with Games?

    Jump

  • I've also seen volume settings not kick in until you loaded a save file. Also, PS1 era Final Fantasy games that don't acknowledge your button mappings until the save has been loaded, so that B is select and A is cancel on the main menu, but the other way in-game.

  • RPGs are absolutely terrible about giving you the ability to inflict status effects on enemies, but not giving random encounter enemies enough HP to justify inflicting statuses, and then also making the bosses immune to them.

  • There's also the possibility that Vance invokes the 25th two years and one month into Trump's term. He gets to be either the guy that saved America or the guy who made the tough choice for the good of the nation. Then he's POTUS for nearly two years and can still be elected to two terms. If this is his plan, he'll start sounding half-way reasonable in six months.

  • Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

    Jump

  • And the point I'm making is that only a handful of games are keys; the vast majority are still on the cart, same as the last system.

  • Games aren’t “games”, they’re download keys.

    Generally agree with your post, but a large majority of games really are games. If they're a download key, it's very clearly labelled on the box.

  • That was a retcon that Abrams introduced at the last minute.

  • Snoke being Plagueis would have broken the entire Chosen One Prophecy just as much as the return of Palpatine did. Having Snoke being from a new dark side order that wasn't the Sith was one of the better things the sequels did.

  • There weren’t a whole lot of jedi to make a new generation of jedi after order 66

    Totally irrelevant. Force sensitivity is largely random and Jedi almost never have kids anyway.

  • Why? You can just call them powerful pokemon/animals/whatever. You don't need to think of them as gods.

  • Depending on the sword, a gallon of milk is between three and six times the weight of the sword.

  • Ukraine Spy Agency Predicts Kremlin Will Soon Conduct Mass Casualty Op Killing Civilians

  • To be clear, they don't need to be sincere; it's in the best interest of anyone following Putin to unfuck their economy, get on the good side of the oligarchs, and modernize their military. The quickest and easiest way to do that is to get out of Ukraine, blame everything on Putin, and at least put on a veneer of civility until things are going smoothly for them. Even if they want to continue expanding the Russian empire, they really need to get out of the current quagmire first.

  • Which is exactly why I hated them resigning in protest.

  • I'd argue the smart thing when succeeding Putin would be to end the war, tell the world it's a new Russia, and start getting Russian assets unfrozen.

  • I would expect the VP to be set up as a puppet leader, with her brother as a hostage to force her cooperation.

    Edit: Looks like she might not be cooperating.

  • I dunno. I look almost exactly like my mother's father, so that would make things even weirder.

  • Because they're indicating that is the exact word used in Disney's statement.

  • That's how the Romans divided the world thousands of years ago and it stuck.

  • They made up an excuse about how there was 'no room' for promotions, except they demoted Paris for a while which would have freed up a spot for Kim. Also, Kim being an ensign when he's in charge of all of Ops doesn't make any sense; he has lieutenants and possibly lieutenant commanders under him.

    Out of universe, Berman said that someone absolutely had to be the rookie, even after seven years in deep space, so Kim couldn't get promoted or meaningfully grow. He also tried to fire Wang a few times for nebulous reasons, only backing off when Wang got a 'sexiest man on TV' award. Wang was also the only Star Trek cast member to ever be denied the opportunity to direct an episode, courtesy of Berman. Wang also once said of Berman, "if there is a hell in this existence that we have that people can go to, he's first on the list."

    So, short answer is that Berman is scum.
