That’s infuriating, I was going to recommend that. It gets cancelled because it doesn’t make money, but it saves so much money by preventing people from using a higher acuity of care than they need.

Ooh, I know this one! WoTC already did that earlier this year by putting out their own “woke criticism” press-release so that they could secretly introduce gambling as a D&D product via blind-boxes.

Only if they, too, were willing to foot the bill for the arbitration fees. Hint: nobody else does that, they want the consumer to pay their own way to reduce filings. That’s what happened with Twitter’s severance filings, they got hit with millions in arbitration fees.

Speaking of Rare games, I was on track to 100% DK64 until my save corrupted on the final fairy. Never tried again, damn those bananas.

I love everything about that. Even a small tech demo with like one kind of item and a single quest would be really cool.

The good old, “If it’s not your source, it’s not your computer.”

Thank you, I had no idea the first phone emoji characters were a third party add-on. That explains how they got there, since Apple is pretty notorious for not including people shaped things in their art.

The original emojis were white before the yellow and darker tones were added in 2015. Look up Katrina Parrott for the backstory. In short, before yellow was the default, White was the only option, and that’s kinda racist, and was only 9 years ago.

Yellow was simply a neutral addition to emojis that matched well with the existing yellow smiley face (which that French asshole keeps charging people for).

Thanks for questioning your assumptions. Further reading if you’re interested:

The hero we didn’t deserve.

Oh cool, somebody signed up, they have more supporters today.

That is (was) DMOZ: the Mozilla Directory of websites, now curlie.org, after AOL shut it down in 2017.

They have a Patreon if you want to help them maintain it.

There you go, assuming the problem is worth the corporation’s time and money to bother solving. The correct answer is to not bother hiring a customer support department and telling people that they’re SOL when stuff goes wrong. The goal is to take in more money than you spend on customer support, so you spend none.

God, fuck react in the eye with the pointy shit-covered hunting-sticks of our ancestors. Useless technology that directly breaks the web because there’s never any fallback, so all you get is a blank page. Not even a “please-enable js” message.

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on that one like three times now but I need more art supplies…

Everything’s getting so complicated these days, they even added a fourth step: Stop, drop, Atoll, Atone.

Not true! Shockwaves could carry parts for miles!

…Oh, I see what you mean.

That’s the thing: people wouldn’t survive that. The only thing that could survive it is some sort of glassified sand immediately beneath the explosion. So sand dgaf, I guess?

I’m still mad he didn’t use the size of the number to tell the system which block to read first. I feel like that would be a great use of division or maybe modulus?

Oh, fair point. Good call.

If it hasn’t moved in two hours, we can probably assume it’s stopped.
