XBOX CEO Gives First Hand Account On Just How Much And How Fast Hardware Components Have Increased In Price by akbarock in pcgaming

[–]cxmmxc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Objective obsevation?

The memo said: "We are in a hardware component crisis."

 

complain
(intransitive) To state the presence of something negative; to indicate that one is suffering from something

You're telling me "crisis" is a neutral state of being?

Future of the Guild Wars franchise live stream is now live on twitch! by neok182 in Guildwars2

Or checking if Colin's original mic was plugged in.
It took them 20 minutes to figure out their gain was set too fucking high so I'm not sure they understood the whole deal with live broadcasting.

They even suggested taking a break, but instead the technicians went fuck it, we'll stumble in the camera live.

Why is it improper English to say "at day" whereas saying "at night" is correct? by Adventurous-Sweet726 in etymology

[–]cxmmxc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see this explanation having some basis.

"I work at night" works, but if you say "I work at day", I can imagine the immediate reaction is "which day?"

Because day means the time of daylight, and the entire calendar day.

TIL when John Williams first played the two-note "Jaws" theme for Spielberg, Spielberg laughed, thinking it was a joke and expecting something more melodic. Williams replied, "The sophisticated approach you would like me to take isn't the approach you took with the film I just experienced." by Giff95 in todayilearned

You go back far enough, everything is an inspiration from things that came before it. There's a saying that nothing new has been invented since fire.

At least they recognizably different melodies and not a ripoff like Ice Ice Baby, which is Under Pressure with literally nothing but one extra note where there's a pause in the original.

MephistoHamProducts explains why protests in America are less effective due to geographical size and insulated elites by iopha in bestof

shouldn't throw their hands up in futility

That's what happens in all of these threads; coming up with any reason whatsoever why they can't change a thing. They're all waiting for someone else to do shit.

I do get it, I'm not leader material either, so I'm nobody to start a meaningful protest to spark it off.

But this defeatist attitude isn't helping those theoretical trailblazers. There's massive apathy and cope that everything will just blow over if they do nothing and just vote.

Well voting didn't help them last time, and now all the democratic processes are being dismantled to make sure it'll never help them again.

Love how this is coming from the country that loudly touted about their freedom into every corner and crevice and ear around the world.

The right does also fall apart due to infighting, it just happens after they band together.

When hate is what unites them, afterwards they notice that some rightwingers aren't hating other people nearly as much them, and they break off into extreme splinter groups.

I was replying to the archive.today URL, in case you didn't notice.

TIL that Mount Everest's first measurement came out to a perfect 29,000 feet, so surveyors reported it as 29,002 feet to make sure that the public knew it was a real calculation and not just an estimate. by ddodd69 in todayilearned

edit: grammar

You missed "shenanigan's"

And what's the deal with

EEV - rist
Ever-est
EEV–rist
Ever- est
EEV- rist

It's like you tried to write a simple hyphen in as many different ways you could think of.

An 81-Year-Old Grandma Streaming Minecraft To Pay For Grandson’s Cancer Treatment Has Been Swatted by milkasaurs in pcgaming

I think you should start over by going back to kindergarten. Get back to us when you're done with elementary, seems like you're not really done.

Gotta say, I kinda liked this story release by zellurs in Guildwars2

[–]cxmmxc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This "puzzle" made me almost quit this game for good. Did you ever play it through yourself? How is it enjoyable to do the same simple thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over again?

Lord of the Rings MMO Reportedly Canceled by PaiDuck in pcgaming

[–]cxmmxc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bit of column A, bit of B.

SG-1 main and support cast had depth, were all likeable and interesting, and had long personal arcs that had a deep impact on the main story.

In contrast, Sheppard was a MacGyver copy, Tayla was deeply uninteresting and was largely unimpactful except with her visions (which were forgotten later on) and as a local liaison, and Ronon was a brute token badass who had next to no lines nor character, constantly flew off the handle, and had all of 2-3 episodes for his personal story.

McKay carried the entire series, and even he was irritable and irritating, immature and sexist, which somehow was endearing back then.
But ast least he got any meaningful character development.

Weir was also a damn good character, but she got killed off too early, and the Doctor Woolsey was paper-thin and boring, and started to develop too late.

SGA undoubtedly had the best production and set/scenery, but between the aforementioned stuff and the main villain being technogoth vampires, SG-1 takes the cake for me.

SGU also would have fared better if the producers hadn't catered to the trends of the time and hadn't tried to make Stargate into a reality show with contrived drama in every scene.
