Plenty of 60-year-olds play games. They were in their 20’s and 30’s as gaming matured. The N64 and PS1 target audience was people who are now in their 50’s and 60’s.

It’s an interesting thing to consider. If someone lies all the time, is it inconsistent to distrust the positive things they say but take the bad at face value?

Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren’t likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.

It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.

Washington Mutual didn’t get bailed out. The feds forced Chase to buy their accounts, making it less dramatic than Leeman.

It’s only connected when you are pressing the spots, and they were painful to use so that they wouldn’t get pressed accidentally.

The note reads:

IF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS NOTE YOU MUST BE ENGAGED IN DEMOLISHING ONE OF THE FALSE COLUMNS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE FOYER OF THE SAINSBURY WING OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FALSE COLUMNS ARE A MISTAKE OF THE ARCHITECT AND THAT WE WOULD LIVE TO REGRET OUR ACCEPTING THIS DETAIL OF HIS DESIGN.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE DONORS OF THIS BUILDING IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED THAT YOUR GENERATION HAS DECIDED TO DISPENSE WITH THE UNNECESSARY COLUMNS.

Expanse does too, though it isn’t common in that world.

Exactly. If you implement DRM that will make the software unusable if it can’t phone home, you should be legally required to have a plan in place for when your servers shut down.

MMO servers get a bit more complicated since they often rely on third-party components that aren’t releasable.

Only if the publisher has taken steps to stop individuals from preserving them through more traditional means.

Babylon Bee promptly started posting ‘satire’ pieces about Clinton whining about Russian interference the moment the news dropped. The right’s response appears to be to connect this to the prior cases, which they already got people to believe a false narrative about.

It seems weird to target those consoles. They are wildly different.

I got Hexcodle #385 in 4! Score: 69%

Nice.

It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.

I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.

Flathead is a description of the head profile, like panhead. Slotted is the screwdriver type that is just a single slot.

It might make me smarter, but it makes me feel dumb.

I’ve been playing Gamedle recently. I tend to discover interesting games both as answers and while researching the info I have.

Pork?! These are all beef, baby.

Video games have a very different production flow to film. The same people editing dialog recording are also doing other sound work. The people cleaning mocap also do hand animation. It’s not like film where you hit a brick wall for 90% of your crew if your filming isn’t on schedule.

Things in the short term are done recording and aren’t impacted. Things in the long term can move the resources to other tasks. If a strike goes for six months or a year, they will start seeing issues.

TLDR: The statistics only work if the host has to reveal a goat and offer to let you switch.

In the show the question is based on, the host didn’t always open an incorrect door after a guess. He didn’t always allow them to switch. He also offered money instead of opening a door at all in some cases. He could use these tools to get the outcome he wanted most of the time.
