According to the ancient Greeks, we would be bar-bars.

Season one had some problems trying to find its place, but that’s also pretty common for a lot of shows. Season three had serious pacing issues due to the writers’ strike. I’d be interested in seeing what season 2 criticism is like.

I still can’t decide if it’s a brilliant retelling of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest or schlocky trash, but it sure is fun.

NT was a fully seperate product from 95 and 98, using a different kernel. 95 -> 98 -> Me was the old kernel, NT -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10 -> 11 is the other line. Me was a play on Millenium Edition, so that line was just numbered by year. The NT series names are a bit wonky, though. The reason for skipping 9 involves legacy program support and bad coding practices from ye olde programmers. 7 was kind of an arbitrary number to begin with, though.

Gwen Stacey died of whiplash when Spidey tried to catch her with a web shot and she stopped too fast, snapping her neck.

I don’t think it’s for wheelchairs. If it was, the corner of the table wouldn’t be cut off. I mean, where would that person put their food? I think it’s probably to get more room to maneuver between tables.

Pineapples are compound berries.

Honestly, the mouse charger screams marketing or management. Apple’s brand is partially form over function.

And then you have horses, which originated there, migrated to Eurasia, went extinct in the Americas, and then were reintrouduced thousands of years later.

I’ve seen ones modded into a laptop form factor. Does that not count?

I just wish the cap on the stick lasted longer. That rubber dome wore down very fast for me on both of mine.

It’s not like they built the car, though.

Just stick 'em in one of those paint shakers they have in hardware stores.

The best bit about the mint and chocolate thing is that chocolate is also poison, so we spice up our poison with more poison.

Most railings I’ve seen really need to be higher. If the top isn’t higher than your center of gravity, there’s very little preventing you from going over.

What doesn’t say anything, he’s on second.

A new take on the Steam Machine could potentially knock Xbox out of the market in their current state, and I’m okay with that.

I could generally take or leave their clutter items, but persistent NPCs with dynamic schedules or the full stat and inventory systems of the PC are still extremely rare, never mind both. Most games simplify NPCs such that they don’t actually have equipment or just have one item (typically an unlootable weapon) and reduce their stats to just HP and defense stats. By contrast, the only difference between an NPC and the PC in a Bethesda game is that the player has controll over the PC.

For me, if they moved to a new engine it would need those persistent fully-featured NPCs to feel like a Bethesda game. Ten years ago, there wasn’t really anything else that did that. Now, there’s got to be something they can make work. Hell, BG3 has all this stuff, it’s just from a top-down perspective. And it can handle ladders, which Bethesda’s engine still can’t do.

Y not?

Both of those being the same thing is still legal most places.
