This kid in the story was walking around where demonstrably dangerous cars could hit him.

What are we arguing here?

She wants to have some kind of cake and eat it too, at YOUR mental expense.

No.

You’ll be teaching your child that what she’s done is okay. Your child will learn things about relationships that aren’t good.

Who’s a good game? Yes you are! Yes you are!

Misleading headline.

From a different site:

with attackers demanding a $150,000 ransom in “baguettes,” an obtuse reference to the company’s headquarters being located in France. In reality, the attackers are looking for payment in Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency.

My parents brag about how they had no car seats and THEY survived. So I guess I should have listened to my dad’s impatience and not put it in the car before going somewhere with our newborn?

Seems like a healthy relationship.

Saw a bunch in the store. Seems plenty available. Interesting.

Gamecube.

2nd would be PS Vita (original OLED version).

The PS5 is probably my most hated look and shape. Just an idiotic and clunky design, and moronic decisions to go white.

An expense or purchase is not an investment.

Like most Ys games, they’re a trudge at first, and some graphical letdown, but they’re still great stories with great characters. I remind myself to power through the beginning each Ys game and eventually find myself loving it.

Ys X Nordics. Tons of fun.

At some point, you need to let your art be what it is.

Ys X: Nordics you cowards!!!

They redid her face, tons of lighting across the gameworld, and re-recorded tons of voice acting. I think maybe they also redid some motion capture. The original faces and animations were memorably pretty awkward. I read a bit from a developer suggesting they learned lots about what they would have done differently, so they did that.

As a huge fan of the original though, I’m hesitant to ever touch this since they changed so much. It’ll feel like some ripoff or something. I find the original a gem, with flaws and all. Every game has flaws, and that’s okay.

It feels like those creators who can’t just leave their music or movies as it was and keep fucking with it.

I remember it when I was a kid. I also remember some people gave put more or less candy depending on how good your costume was. Felt incredibly judged in public. Hated Halloween for so many reasons.

None. First of all, watching news is far worse then reading it in terms of how you guard against subjective influence.

Second, who cares. It’s exhausting. It’s toxic. What happens will happen and we’ll see the news later. I think last time it even took a couple days.

I’ll probably see the result without effort the next day, say “huh,” and go on with my life.

The team that does their Steam ports just got done releasing Ys X. I suspect it’s a timing issue and it’ll just come later, but who knows. I’ll be watching for a Steam version.

You still have Forza, Forza Horizon, Gran Turismo, Wreckfest, F1, WRC, Need for Speed, Assetto Corsa, iRacing, MotoGP, Monster Energy Supercross, Hot Wheels Unleashed, NASCAR, and Lego 2k Drive just to name a few that have current or recent releases and are great and fill a wide variety of needs for racing.

Even Project Cars, The Crew, and Dirt had recent solid entries in the last decade that are still good today, and some obscure Saturday night local track style racing games like World of Outlaws, SRX, and various Tony Stewart dirt racing games have been released in the last 5-10 years.

There’s also remakes like Burnout happening.

There’s tons of racing games.

The Rock, Jack Black, some woman Hollywood considers sexy, and Kevin Hart obnoxiously screaming as loud as possible “you gonna die of dysentery!!!”

Now, conversely, if you work in support, please ACTUALLY FUCKING LISTEN TO ME when I am telling you I’ve already done that 17 different ways, along with tons of other troubleshooting and isolating and I’m not a technical moron and I tried every possibility to avoid calling you so can we PLEASE SKIP THE USUAL BULLSHIT SUGGESTIONS?!?!?!?!
