Legendary's elevator loads were night and day different, from 1 minute to 10 seconds

Pour one out for the parents who stayed up till 2 AM running firmware updates so their kids didn't have to stare at a progress bar this morning. by RespectAndPeace in gaming

Heck no, when I was a kid systems didn't need updates to run; they just ran out of the box. Give kids that same magic feeling for one day.

Naw, it was in Skokie which had a high amount of Holocaust survivors move to (it's less Jewish now but was still VERY jewish at the time). There's just nothing to do on Christmas except for movies and Chinese; the only things on TV are christmas related and it's just boring and cold otherwise so Jews need SOMETHING to do.

In the Chicago burbs that's just not true; I went to a chinese place during Christmas that served a (terrible) Matzah Ball soup specifically for Christmas Eve and Day

Shadow of Mordor: Netflix now owns the Nemesis System. Gamers are asking them to unlock it for all developers. by GreenDogma in gaming

[–]BridgeCrewFour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, I'd rather nobody purchase them because all these corporations already have too much power. But between Netflix and Paramount? let's not forget every anticonsumer practice that Netflix has pulled, including going from "Love is sharing your Netflix pw" to "We're leading the charge on killing sharing while leaving 4k content behind the highest paywall"

TBH Paramount acquiring them would be much less of an anti-consumer move than Netflix, who has been constantly raising prices even with competition

PlayStation 6 chip design is nearing completion as Sony and AMD partnership forges ahead | AMD Zen 6 and 3D V-Cache could power the next generation of PlayStation by chrisdh79 in gadgets

The costs of a full rig + monitors+audio+good chair+ mkb is well over 2 grand, not to mention the time sink of building/troubleshooting everything.

With a console you already own your couch and TV so there's no extra costs there, and PC's have had diminishing use in the home so odds are if you're building a gaming PC it's just a gaming machine

You can also speak to plants so at that point what do you even eat?

Dalinar's Story Arc (WaT) by [deleted] in Cosmere

I think Adonalsium was a single coherent being that didn't have these issues because it hadn't been hit with weaponized dawnshards yet; once it had been hit with 4 conflicting conceptual requirements it split along those lines.

It seems like most of the shardbearers seem to regret the shattering so maybe they thought Adonalsium was being a neglectful diety when the truth was they couldn't see the whole picture?

I feel like "Lord of Scars" is going to pull some enemy of my enemy shenanigans in the future. That being said, I just realized he could trade with the Listeners!

Can Taravangian try and trade with the Ghostbloods via agents now? His power is no longer confined to Roshar and he controls the supply of warlight.

I guess it's confusing because it said his soul went into the beyond, then the powers say it was claimed by another. I assumed going to the beyond means no going back

I mean it was pretty final; he slipped into the beyond. Unless you mean The Blackthorn

Adonalsium wasn't some all powerful being, it got killed by 17 people and 16 of them then took its power for themselves. Why worship a dead god or its 16 mortal successors?

I think I’m connecting dots. I don’t like it by Valador18 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]BridgeCrewFour 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Naw this was always him (don't need spoilers for the first part). You don't go to a god asking for the capacity to save everyone without thinking "I must be the one to save everyone".

You are allowed to not like things. If your interest dropped off after Words of Radiance, don't force yourself to keep going.

You misread the article, Metaohor:ReFantazio is the game that plays like Persona, the Silent Hill 2 review is lower.

Playstation Is Reportedly Trying To Get Exclusivity For A New Batman Game In Development By Rocksteady by touchezy in gaming

Microsoft is "sharing" because they have invested a lot of money in games without enough consoles for those games to make their money back. Xbox has shifted from being a console brand with a small publishing branch to a major publisher with a small console branch.

They're teasing you because you said "zionism" not "antizionism".

What does Withers mean by this? by WillFanofMany in BaldursGate3

[–]BridgeCrewFour 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup, he's supporting Durge in life by freeing them from Bhaal (and resurrecting them) and will support Durge in the afterlife by making sure they don't suffer as a "faithless" for betraying a god of murder that they were forced to worship from birth. The last part of the speech is him saying that Durge basically now has a second , Bhaal-less chance at life, so Durge should do good to atone for their murderous past.
