  • Mega Crit co-founder says he wasn't bothered by the Steam backlash to Slay the Spire 2's beta balance patch: 'It's difficult for players to feel like they're heard'

    Jump

  • All I know is the Phantasmal Gardener (four worms fight) is my new Gremlin Nob. I'm desperate to find an AOE or big burst card before I start hitting Act 1 elites because that asshole has tanked my run more than once now

  • ouch

  • I doubt you lose the GPS connection, but you lose the network connection to make the mapping and navigation work. About like navigating with your phone without cell service

  • ouch

    Jump

  • They charge for premium network connectivity. It's $10/month to make use of if the LTE radio in the car for connecting directly to streaming services without your phone, live camera feeds in your cell phone app, and some extra map stuff. You still get eight years of basic navigation and updates if you don't pay for it.

    The heated seats thing was BMW, which they back tracked on

  • There's Something About Miriam — British reality show where six men competed for a £10k prize and the affection of a Mexican model later revealed in the finale to be a transgender woman

    Jump

  • As Dan Savage would say, there's no more dangerous place for a trans woman than in a confused straight man's bedroom during his refractory period

  • virgin HDMI vs chad VGA

    Jump

  • As someone who worked IT help desk in the mid/late aughts: fuck VGA and DVI. Let them stay dead. If I had a nickel for every time I snagged one in a desk's rat's nest on every single USB or power cable while trying to route cables, I could build me a top of the line gaming rig with 2026 prices.

  • Death Stranding 2 looks amazing in the 21:9 ultra-wide

    Jump

  • The first ultra wide gaming experience I had was with Shadow of Mordor. It was like walking onto the set of one of the Peter Jackson movies.

    If you can swing it, I recommend the extra step of getting a curved ultra wide. I started with one and ended up swapping it with a bigger flat one for some productivity features and the corners just felt so far away from me that it diluted the gaming experience a bit.

  • a feature, not a bug

    Jump

  • On the tiny, itty, bitty bright side, that 10% is used to being loud and annoying

  • Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead

    Jump

  • If you continue to get push back, consider going to the manager during business hours and discussing it with them. They don't want a grumpy Google review on their location.

    I once had a card skimmed and cancelled. I forgot about my Anytime Fitness membership until three months later when I had racked up hundreds in late fees. Talked to the manager, who just went in and removed the charges from my account while I waited.

  • Hypothetically, if a Black Millionaire had their home broken into by a poor White person, how much danger is there of the Black Millionaire getting shot by cops "by mistake"?

    Jump

  • Nearly happened to Ving Rhames in 2018.

  • Battery Boys

    Jump

  • I feel the quality of the instructions were sufficient and suspect you just wished to stick something up your butt

  • RaNgErS aRe MeAnT tO bE ArChErs

    Jump

  • To be fair, Aragorn was no slouch with that bow when they were fighting their way out of the Mines of Moria. Maybe he was an archer all along who just got overshadowed by Legolas and spec'd late into longsword to be a good party member.

  • Nathan Fillion Reveals Why He Had No Interest Setting the Firefly Animated Series After Serenity

    Jump

  • Movies With Mikey has an interesting anecdote from a pre-release screening he saw of Serenity. Wash's death was so unexpected that a woman in the audience started screaming and had a panic attack until she could be removed from the theater.

    That part was pretty brutal, but it did make the stakes in the following hallway fight feel appropriately sky high.

  • What language do you guys speak?

    Jump

  • Super green, Korben my man.

  • 867-5309: number from 1980s hit song Jenny now routes callers to cancer support

    Jump

  • 272-867-5309 specifically forwards to this help line. Any other area code is going to be different. I imagine anyone who gets that seven digit number quickly ditches it due to spam. It does come in handy if anyone asks for a telephone number tied to a grocery store account or similar though

  • I've never been so insulted

    Jump

  • The big draw of Wasteland 2 and 3 for me was getting classic Fallout-style gameplay with modern quality of life improvements. They've got very similar aesthetics and chunky gameplay, though Wasteland is more squad oriented

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

    Jump

  • I bounced off of that one for a while. Bought it on sale and was kinda digging it until I hit the first boss and just couldn't beat him. I tried a few times until I noticed that I was losing some not -yet-defined currency with every death and found that very antagonistic. I can't remember if they'd implemented the invincibility toggle and I was too bull headed to use it, or if this was before that update.

    Put it down for a few years, then came back to it when I heard enough people raving about how much they had enjoyed it. I think Alan Wake 2 was out by that point. Picked it up, used invincibility to get past that boss, turned it off, and fell in love with the rest of the game like everyone else

  • Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’

    Jump

  • Taco Bell has already automated the drive though orders at a number of locations. The staff still have to listen to the conversation to make sure the AI agent doesn't go off the rails. I bet they've got some fun stories

  • I know which one I am.

    Jump

  • I've got a bunch of pint glasses from local breweries, and they hold up just fine to the dishwasher. Nice thing is if I DO break one, it's an excuse to go back to the brewery and get another.

  • How far back in time can you understand English?

    Jump

  • Is it some kind of social commentary that the writer seems progressively more superstitious and easily frightened as the centuries roll back?

    Dude talks about a walk back to his B&B like he's a Hobbit dodging nazguls
