Maybe he’s splashing half of it on his head or something?

Greedy CEOs? You better believe it : wolves!

What a wonderful smile. So cute! Cheers :)

I wouldn’t* be surprised if she didn’t drive. My wife has no conception of how difficult even just picking up someone can be, and demonstrate it time and again, standing on the other side of the road, or at a corner where I’ll block all trafic if I stop.

Finding a sweet spot right in front of the place we wanna go would be like “well, yeah, you don’t expect me to walk, do you?” for her, while I’d probably be as ecstatic as that poor guy.

The pony question tells me he’s never encountered a child in the wild. You think a kid isn’t gonna correct you the second they know the difference?!

So does that compensate for all those pirated games that people actually do play?

Jupiter’s Legacy. Good call!

“Draw me like one of your French girls, you piece of shit.”

The safe word is “iceberg”.

Happened a few times in China “hey this is your delivery man. Sorry, I clicked the button to reach my quota but I’m still on my way. I’ll be here in a few minutes though, don’t freak out ok?” Never would dream of complaining, they are so good.

“Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?” pause “Is it plugged in?” pause “You’re welcome”

For most devs, it’s a Jenga tower. Only fancy algorithm devs get a nice Hanoi towers setup.

Which is fine since there is no such thing as Twitter anymore.

I wish long press would just show us a choice wheel, right thumbstick to pick my choice, done. Free the left and right foe other stuff.

I do appreciate your point of view. I just disagree about the “it’s been like this for ages and we’re used to it and it’s part of the difficulty”. Good UI should cause no friction.

I do agree a paused menu with quaffing health potions mid-strike is bullshit. But if things are gonna be real time (not even slow down while in menu wheel like many others) then there is no reason to stick with ancient traditions. It would be simple enough to have an item wheel instead.

As it is yeah, I do play with a handicap. It’s fine, I’ve beaten other games with similar issues (from my POV). I’m just super annoyed about subpar UX in software. I’ve seen too many in my career and too many people enduring bullshit UI… so it really rustles my jimmies when I see the same problems in games. You know, software that’s supposed to provide fun.

It’s really not an ER specific pet peeve of mine; I’ve endured shitty UI/UX for the last 37 years and so I’m a bit grumpy about it, is all.

As in “being between the Carribean and Sicilia”? :,D

The problem is that the controls for anything other than the fighting are rather clunky. It’s not something specific to ER, but rather gamepad based games, for some reason. I’ve the same issue with Horizon Zero Dawn. In both games I play pretty much with the weapons, the healing and that’s about it because fuck all that shit about cycling through options in the middle of a fight.

For some reason it reminds me of When Sysadmins Ruled The Earth, a short story about sysadmins dealing with the apocalypse.

You would be amazed!

Isn’t it what happens on Mac? I’m told there is a command line on there, but I’ll be damned if I’ve ever met* a Mac addict who’s heard of it, let alone used it.

I’m glad it’s only the football streaming sites, but I don’t much like that companies get this kind of legal power.
