I was wanting Sony (or someone) to port at least Sly and Jak to PC

Same for me on infamous. Come on Sony.

I have family in the medical field (ER nurse and travelling nurse). The ER nurse said that the younger people come in with sex-related traumatic injury more, but the older people come in with more STIs.

The travelling nurse frequents rehab facilities (nursing homes) for both mentally handicapped and geriatric care. He said that there is a very similar amount of STIs between both facilities, basically meaning that they are getting physical about the same amount.

There is a reason why retirement homes and nursing facilities are the #2 highest locations for STIs, behind college campuses.

The swastika was also appropriated by the Nazis. In Indian cultures, it is a symbol of blessings and prosperity. You still won’t catch me sporting that shit anywhere.

Come on, now…

1. Grind to gather resources.
2. Make a potion to fortify intelligence
3. Make a potion to fortify alchemy
4. Drink potions
5. While potions are active, make another set of fortify intelligence and alchemy potions, which - as a result of your potion-enhanced intelligence and alchemy skill - now fortified even stronger and longer.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 a few times to become the smartest god-like being around for an infinite amount of time.

Game-breaking, but I would absolutely do it in real life if I had the option. I want the brains!

Completely agree. BioWare started it’s downward trend when it thought it could cash in on MMORPG billions by creating Star Wars: The Old Republic. Don’t get me wrong, Bioware made awesome games until ~2010. They were bought out by EA in 2007, and that is where we can clearly see that passion was lost. Good games still came out, but they weren’t great.

I will always hold a special spot in my heart for the Elder Scrolls. I’ve played since Daggerfall in the late 90s. I got into Fallout later, but went back and played the originals (except for tactics). A lot of people hate on Skyrim as being janky, but I was there for the original release. Did it have issues? Of course, and it still does. But this was 11 / 11 / 2011 we are talking about. Skyrim was doing things that no one in gaming was doing well, and they told a good story to boot.

The issue that I have with most studios is that they step away from the ideas of furthering or completing a story just because they can’t think of a new gimmic or mechanic to make it hugely profitable. They need those profits to justify the staggering wages paid to the CEO’s. Not to the writers, programmers, or artists.

So Bethesda lost a lot of love when they (like BioWare) attempted to cash in on MMORPGs with Fallout 76.

But BioWare games used to be the top tier gaming company standard for excellence. Bethesda used to release amazingly ambitious titles that were unmatched (albeit buggy!).

Greed outweighs the love of games.

Plus, think about the logistics of that.

Goods produced in the US are categorically more expensive due to infrastructure, cost of living (and therefore wage expectations). If we could wave a magic wand to transplant an effective manufacturing facility from Pakistan and place it in rural Mississippi, hire Americans to do the work, and begin pumping out goods, the price to produce the goods would increase substantially.

Americans wouldn’t be able to afford American made goods, which is true even now. Many Americans try to buy American “when possible”, but cost quickly outweighs patriotism.

Different pipes, but same orifice I suppose. You aren’t eating through your bronchioles. I assure you, if you attempt to eat or drink through your bronchioles, you’re going to have a bad day, which i believe is your point.

Unless you saw a person do this, I would assume that the stranger is the sun.

Sun damages the clear coat, causing it to bubble. The bubbles continue to expand and then crack. When you drive, the turbulence from wind force pulls the flaky clear off.

Nothing is rare if it happens to you.

Easy peasy, folks. If you want to know why, it was a simple decision. He thought of any number of ways he could to “naturally” meet Detective Dumptruck. He compared those options with ones he could do in his office, and then he came up with an obvious solution.

Are you sure they didn’t shit their pants and drop the undies down in the trash?

Don’t forget massive cuts to Social Security and a hit on any pension money the organization can get its hands on.

Trumper shocked Pikachu.

I have spent years trying to find a Super Mario World or Super Mario Galaxy feel to games. I am not looking for photo realistic. I am looking for a game.

My problem is the algorithm. There is no way to browse categories and drill down into the features to find what you are actually looking to find.

You search for xxx company Product, and you may get that product on the first page, but it will be surrounded by dozens of cheap alternatives. I find a lot of those alternatives aren’t comparable to the one I actually seek.

If you don’t know the specific product you are looking for, you will never be able to sort the wheat from the chaff.
