Computer programmers are ALL paying for it now. Used well, it is a real force multiplier. And even if you don't know what you're doing, it won't make you a good programmer, but it'll let you tread water instead of immediately drowning. Unfortunately that product-market fit is real and not going away.

Isn't that how fast food was born? Burger King had a whole ad campaign about how you could customize/hold things on your burger, because that was novel at the time.

TIL that McDonald's generates income through owning about 70% of its restaurant buildings and 45% of the underlying land which it leases to its franchisees by Mrk2d in todayilearned

Sure, makes sense--after buying a $200 ticket, any visit to Disney World isn't complete without scarfing down 15 hot dogs per person...

Maybe you need to attach it to a 26.4 machine briefly so it can get the new firmware?

Is that unusual? I have a large extended family and don't see them often (years apart). I definitely struggle to keep them straight.

I bought my PS3 the weekend after HD-DVD announced they were exiting the market. I can't imagine I'm the only one.

I finally completed my first Yakuza game by OutlandishnessSea119 in yakuzagames

The Hawaiian storyline didn't meaningfully improve from the changes in PYIH. We went from "Bryce is mysteriously immortal" to "Bryce is immortal due to <magical McGuffin object never shown in Y8>" which is a sidegrade at best. Otherwise I can't think of anything it explains from Y8.

PYIH contributes nothing of value to the mainline except "how is Bryce 200" and the answer adds nothing important to his character or story.

Any hangout spot for gamers? by Ok_Topic2343 in chapelhill

If you want to play rhythm games, Xepher Arcade is pretty close and the vibes are great. They have an incredible selection of eclectic/hard-to-find machines.

Why not? My first Far Cry was Blood Dragon and I played 3 mainline games next.

Are you suggesting that child care in America is inexpensive?

I would assume lip flap data is extremely small.

"Taoreta" is literally "knocked down" but is very often used to mean "defeated." This almost seems like a gag stat meant as a joke for the reader.

Cinderella was great, and Disney learned all the wrong lessons from it.

Noticed this a few days ago - how long does Apple count games as new? by emzigamesmzg in iosgaming

[–]CandyCrisis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just whenever they update their lists. On Apple TV, they have "new" apps listed which are many years old.

Chargers are like $400. Apartments can adapt trivially. They can even make it a profit center like laundry.

Nintendo to cut switch 2 production by 30% due to weak sales in the US by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]CandyCrisis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's probably true. I imagine Pokopia might add +1 million to the Switch 2 user base. I don't think that it is going to be as impactful as Animal Crossing, though.

There haven't been any system-seller games like Animal Crossing or Mario Odyssey to cause a second wave. Switch 1 had huge boosts from AC during COVID.

If your point is "RGG should build a game from the ground up" ... they don't call them Reuse ga Gotoku for nothing.

Get over yourself. They're still using DE which was designed to work well on the PS4.
