Nothing on Twitter or Reddit about it, so not sure where he's getting it from.

(e): actually, I lied, there actually is a game I want to play on there

Say hello to the new sale, same as the old sale.

I wouldn't say "disappeared", given that his latest post was yesterday.

Hey, at least he isn't calling you the worst teacher in America like Sharp_one might.

lol

Yeah, George Lucas really outdid himself there.

Still not sure why Before the Storm was made by an unrelated company from the guys who made the original. Seems like a weird thing to do for a brand new property that probably needs another game or two to become well-established. At least BtS didn't turn out horribly (from the sounds of it, anyways - I haven't played it yet).

I actually have not. Somehow, I have resisted clicking on it about the 13 times or so you've posted it so far. Gotta stay strong...

In other news, Dems officially force a 50-50 split in Virginia's House of Delegates, as a very close and contested election finished its recount today with the Dem winning by just 1 vote. Republicans lost both their supermajority and their majority now in this election.

Fiasco seems to be the only one you listed who has zero posts...and they've been registered since 2012 with an original PoE-backer badge, so yeah, I'd count them at the very least.

TVs have really bad input delay: you're at a pretty distinct disadvantage if you try to play fast-paced multiplayer games with them vs. other people who are using normal monitors. So monitors aren't going to go away any time soon in gaming just for that unless TV manufacturer's priorities change (they most likely won't, given that TVs are, first and foremost, made with the best picture quality for watching TV/movies in mind). Additionally, I personally find extra large monitors and TVs to be a bit of an eye-sore, and the larger they are, the farther back you have to sit, and after a certain size, the traditional desk setup becomes incompatible with them (unless you have a really large desk, I guess). So that's gonna be a no from me. Maybe I'll change my tune in a few decades when my eyes don't work so well, though...but also maybe the issue will already be solved by then anyways.

Falcons win, and the Packers' season is officially over! I'm a little relieved, because I really did not want to see Rodgers get hit any more next week one a one out of a million scenario. Plus, maybe our horrible DC will finally get fired after finally no longer being carried by Rodgers.

Is it against the rules to make a few alt-accounts to rig this? I want to make sure Quest 64 sits at the #1 game of all time like it deserves.

Why not get rid of the safety too? These are bookend rules about what happens when a player loses control of the ball and it goes out of the endzone. Yes, they penalize offensive players which is too be expected because they had possession and lost it in the first place. Because it's a rule that creates really weird and almost always undeserved turnovers. I've never seen a situation where this rule was used where I thought, "Oh, that makes sense, that's great!". Just the opposite - even when the Packers won a game earlier off of it against the Bears, it was stupid. When the Seahawks won against the Lions last year because of it, it was stupid. Go ahead and fumble at the 1 yard line out of bounds all you want, but don't you dare fumble any closer to the goal line than that... @Shady: Why not just become an owner of the Packers instead? Fantasy football related: I am in my league's championship game after an improbable run: won 5 of my last 6 games of the regular season, which combined with a win earlier in the season, gave me an amazing 6-7 record on the season...which let me claim the 6th and final seed on tiebreakers. My team is, quite frankly, terrible, but somehow I'm in the championship game. It's all up to me from stopping the same guy from winning my league 3 times in a row. I think my luck is gonna run out, but hey, you can only make do with what you're given.

Uh, why? Fumble out of the sides of the endzone, it just goes back to where it was when it was last possessed, same as if it were fumbled out of bounds in the middle of the field.

My gosh, what's wrong with my brain. HUNGARIAN, not Polish. Good lord. Actually making me cringe a little that I got it wrong again.

Some really dissatisfying ends today. Packers get a lucky onside kick with 2 minutes to go to tie the game to go into overtime...and a receiver, who came in to replace the guy the Panthers headhunted earlier in the game, immediately fumbles the ball, game over. Steelers have a shot at beating the Patriots for the #1 seed...or worse case, tie the game if they can't get the TD...and Big Ben has a giant brain fart and decides to throw a really stupid pick instead when he could've just thrown it away for another shot. And now this...Carr makes a hilariously stupid decision to stretch out for the pylon when he really wasn't even close, drops the ball in the end zone, and one of the worst rules in the NFL is activated: touchback. If you fumble out of bounds at any other point in the field, you get the ball back, but not in the end zone for some reason. Grr. All I saw today were good games with horrible endings.

Meh. If you didn't much care for the gameplay mechanics of FO3 (and I personally thought they were not that good as well as outrageously clunky), there ain't much of a point.

Oops. Yeah, Polish, not Hungarian. Good call, .

Well, Rodgers threw 3 INTs (including two back-to-back) putting the game out of reach - first time he's thrown that many since 2009. That'll finally end the Packers' season when combined with the 32nd-ranked red zone defense. Kept underthrowing all day - seems like he wasn't ready to return after all. (edit): lol, we got a TD and then incredibly got a onside kick recovery, and then the receiver immediately fumbled to end the game.

I'm looking through my history, but did not find anything. Found mentions of the FCC wanting to make it so states couldn't come up with their own net neutrality laws, but not much about municipal internet. Either something that was just thrown out there as an idea, fake news, or I'm misremembering, I guess. There goes my career in journalism... Well, at least in quarter-decent publications, anyways.

Well, I started rooting for the Chargers because I thought the Chiefs were pretty much donezo and wouldn't do anything in the playoffs, and of course, the Chargers immediately fall off a cliff in their most important game of the season. I guess I just shouldn't root for AFCW teams anymore, since it seems like they all immediately die when I do (going back to last year with the Raiders...).

Well, I don't like Metroidvania games with only rare exception is my excuse.

checkmate, monopolists
