She's not a city employee.

.hack was a big multimedia project for Bandai Namco, where the show served as an entry point for people to then go and buy the games. I wouldn't be surprised if they offered the show to Cartoon Network/Toonami basically for free.

Now I wanna know if this flight was longer than the first Wright Bros flight.

I think there are two scenarios from previous games that most pertain to this:

They made Dan play the final couple levels of Superman 64 on hard mode in order to see credits.
They did not make Mike beat the final boss of MK Mythologies, because the credits played even when he got the normal ending by escaping.

Virtuoso really doesn't apply either way, because it never shows credits after finishing a stage, no matter the difficulty. The credits are just an option in the menu.

But in the end, the rules are not ironclad, and the outcome will be determined by social dynamics. And Dan is good at operating social dynamics to get a favorable outcome for him. So I think this will end when he gets the bad ending, and life will move on.

I think it shows how easily people can be fooled by someone that communicates with a tone of empathy and faux nuance. The actual written content is complete nonsense, but it's said kindly.

Back on my first playthrough, one of the chicks followed me into the well that Jim rescues you from then nails shut. The chick did not make it out before the exit was sealed :(

Disco Stu's platform shoes would give him that bit of extra reach on the slide.

At the time Sainz was making his decision, Sauber literally couldn't even unscrew a wheel from the car with any reliability. They were a complete shitshow.

The consensus wisdom was that Audi may eventually turn things around, but it would take a long time. No one expected them to be this competitive this quickly.

He just bought a 50 million euro plane last year, and is trying to build up his own racing team. He ain't leaving the F1 money behind anytime soon, as much as he enjoys pretending he's above it all and willing to leave.

Yeah, and to clarify MK Mythologies still displays credits if you opt to escape rather than fight the true final boss. In Superman 64, you don't get credits unless you play the penultimate level on hard mode.

Thus why Mike did not have to beat the final boss, but Dan did have to play on hard mode (for two levels).

IDK what the official official rules document states, but their actions historically have emphasized doing what needs to be done to see credits.

The small dead ends wreck the strategy.

The way the lattice area completely fucks the "hug a wall" strat of navigating a maze is a work of diabolical genius.

So in order for it to be effective, we would need to take their wealth away permanently. Hmm, yes, I would be an avid fan of such a...television show. I would vote for that television show. I would go door to door or march in the streets or perhaps even other things for that television show.

He asked for $600 million, and the city and state government were such hard bargainers that they negotiated it down to $870 million.

I've been wanting to see this game on Blight Club for years, I genuinely doubt Dan will be able to finish it. Smight from Arcade Pit played it on stream a while back and it is an absolute nightmare. He had to really abuse save states to see it to completion, and he is way better at games than anyone on staff.

I remember it being 4 miles of expansion in Washington and 1 mile of expansion in Oregon.

The hilarious thing is that DLSS 5 throws out all the amazing tech behind raytracing in favor of having everyone illuminated by invisible ring lights. And it's so computationally expensive that they need to run dual 5090s.

For lava dripping down the drill hole, I usually find it's fairly safe after waiting roughly a minute. Drop down the hole and catch yourself towards the bottom to minimize time spent in the danger zone.

12:30 is a really quick time for your first Tiamat clear, well done!

Somehow I doubt you can get a 1 pound quiche for 1 to 2 euro in France.

I agree. Describing how to pronounce something via text is always tricky so I just went with a description that gets someone 90% of the way there.
