A Tribble as the Rabbit of Caerbannog.

Janeway: What makes you think she is a Borg?

Seven: Well, she turned me into a drone!

Janeway: A drone?

Seven: I got better.

Task failed successfully

No, no. All the NPCs are supposed to have 7 fingers on each of their three hands. It’s in the lore.

I saw so much praise for this game, which got me to buy. Then I genuinely felt like I played a different game than everybody else.

Not that I thought it was bad or anything, I just walked across the landscape for 2h15m and then haven’t thought about it since.

But why pay all those programmers when all they had to do from the beginning was a simple

#include “ai.h”

People are weird about gasoline. They’ll drive around looking for the cheapest option, to save 2 cents/gallon. Even with a huge tank, that’s less than 50 cents of total savings.

So a grocery store can offer, say, 10¢ savings, and it only actually costs them like $1.50-$2.00 per customer. That’s way less than other sales that are harder to advertise and don’t bring in the same amount of business.

Ultimately the psychological benefit for the shopper is more than the financial cost to the store. The others societal costs don’t come in to that equation.

A rock with no electricity is just a rock. Meat with no electricity is just a body. Electricity is the only conscious thing there is.

Don’t worry, though. It’s not in development hell, it’s going to be a AAAAA game, and that takes time.

Same reason people would buy an S when they could get more power, more storage, and a disk drive with an X: price. $450 vs $600 isn’t nothing.

Yeah, apparently I get to be mildly infuriated at nvidia for changing shit, mildly infuriated at myself for letting it, and also still a little mildly infuriated at playground games for having an ambiguous message that never clued me into what was really happening. Trifecta!

All custom settings get overwritten and set to Ultra or Extreme on everything.

It may not be making any sort of attempt to “optimize” settings based on my hardware, but that’s probably even worse. I turned stuff down to get the framerate that works for me. Just let me keep my setting the way they were before.

I don’t even know whether it’s Forza changing the settings or Nvidia. But somebody’s doing it wrong.

Only 3 options? Does Brawny think it’s illegal to grab 3/4 of a sheet?

Also PETA got involved, because they’ve never seen an animal-centric story they couldn’t weasel themselves into.

“Corrupt” would almost certainly be a statement of opinion, so not actionable in the US. A lot more detail would be necessary for this to be defamation.

“Judge XXXX has taken millions in shadow bribes and has consistently ruled for the wishes of his/her benefactors. There has been a history of being reversed on appeal proving their bias. Also I watched them kick a puppy.”

Then, obviously, these things would have to be false. Even then, the bar is pretty high. There are exceptions both ways on this, but as a general guideline, if the public knows a person’s name (judge in a high profile case, for example) they are probably classified as a public figure. The rule there is one of “actual malice” which isn’t exactly what it sounds like, but it’s the highest bar for defamation cases.

The speaker would have to say something factually false, knowingly or with no regard for the truth. Giuliani, for one recent example, was found guilty of defaming the Georgia election workers, because he went into great detail about his false claims, and he was told repeatedly that thise claims were false, but he kept going.

Aren’t there only two companies making large-scale sports games these days? If it’s not EA, then it would basically have to be 2K.

our captain gets pegged

It’s been a while since I watched TNG, but I don’t remember this at all.

I hear this. My life is survival mode. Games are for turning off that part of the brain for a little while.

In the setting under link handling, you can change the browser to “external” which uses your default.

I almost bought myself a SCUF controller until I realized it’s all run through iCue. Even if they made the best hardware, the experience will suffer until they get some decent software.
