I guess I'm too old for this sh*t, the whole thing just sounds terribly juvenile.

Not even a little bit.

No, not millions. Billions. Like $70+ billion.

Interesting. Assuming it did not use DirectDraw -- that's often a major pain point.

This is pretty much the experience of trying to play any game from the '90s on modern hardware. It always requires a bit of tinkering and usually a patch from the modding community…

I've lived in LA ~12 years in a couple of different apartments. In all my apartment hunting I've never encountered a unit that doesn't come with a refrigerator.

I don't need to use him. I know plenty of poors who routinely shoot themselves in the foot IRL. Cognitive ability/IQ is actually a better metric for predicting poverty than socioec…

No one proclaimed that. They announced that Tylenol could be linked to neurological development issues, including autism.

Right now seemingly all of Bluesky is in a frenzy trying to insinuate that this killer is somehow a Republican or "MAGA." Or a Groyper. The level of cognitive dissonance when peopl…

My understanding is that the current "Big Beautiful Bill" reverses this

Be neat if they opened a theme park on a remote island filled with de-extinct creatures.
