At least they used the correct armor.

It irks me when they use the armor from Halo 2 or the remastered game to represent Combat Evolved.

I don’t think the facts match the claim, but I completely agree with the sentiment.

For years, the ‘legit’ consumer has had to deal with ad interruptions and bad UI and service disruptions and having media removed from their library. Something that pirates don’t even have to think about. The music revolution that Jobs and Apple created with iTunes, which allowed people to just buy music and just own it and just use it however they want (no DRM) with an ease that made piracy look difficult and seem too risky to bother, never came for TV or movies or books or any other media category.

And now the streaming revolution has all but undone that progress as well. You don’t own anything, a company decides when you have or lose access to something, and even if you pay money for access you are still advertised to and your data is still sold off.

I missed the part where Aol. was promoting toxicity and hate while attempting a short-term grift on its users like Reddit and X have.

That fact that Aol. is still alive is amazing by itself. It’s just another sleazy, beleaguered company that used to be meaningful. You leave because other companies have better products, not because they offend your sense of morality.

(Or maybe they do.)

Every one is mad because they’re greedily milking reruns and I’m just laughing because they clean skipped over FF8.

If you want an iPad in your pocket just buy a Pro Max.

Just when you thought they stopped making these games.

That’s an episode of the original Star Trek.

Games that look so much better on another console or PC. Like the top-down GTA games.

The headline makes it sound like people are scared to report crimes because they don’t want to talk to RoboMallCop.

Imagine how much poo has piled up.

My gift to humanity.

If they rebooted both franchises into a single title, then things would be interesting.

While USB is now needlessly complicated and poorly labeled for consumer understanding, at least it succeeds in being backwards compatible so long as the physical connectors match (and all you need is a dumb adapter to convert any connector). If you have a 3.0 port on one device, a 2.0 port on the other device, and a 3.1 cable, you get 2.0 transfer speeds.

HDMI has the same kind of “issue”. Whatever the specs on each component, throughput and features drop to the lowest common denominator when in use.

Typically, the side of the plug with the USB logo is “up”. There are exceptions.

Also typically, if a USB port is vertical, up is to the left. Again, there are exceptions.

I think it’s another non-mystery that became a fan-made urban legend that took on a life of its own.

Just putting some thought into it, you can easily guess what Cubone looks like without the skull.

I know that Kanji was originally derived from Chinese but I don’t know which Chinese characters are the same and which are different without doing research.

It is nice that in this case the symbols are the same all the way across the board. 5/5 design choice on both counts.

I like it because it reminds me of the Japanese kanji 森 Mori (Forest).

Which is in and of itself brilliant because it’s the kanji 木 Ki (Tree) repeated three times and bunched together.

The best I was ever able to do was an official Platinum controller.
