we sort of see a 20 percent uplift on the value of that customer because you're locking that person, committing to a longer-term relationship.

Do these people never listen to themselves? Who the hell wants to be "locked"?

I'm not a fan of the "new car smell", for some reason. The "new computer smell", on the other hand, is a rare treat.

I poked my head in Lemmygrad once, and that was plenty. Shit like this but unironic. Fuck em.

Dude, Where's My Car, 17%/47%. I haven't seen it since it was in the theatre, but I remember thinking it was a good disengage-your-brain comedy that got some chuckles and had a plot that was weird enough to be a joke on it's own. What were people expecting, with a title like that?

Running at the speed of lobsters!

"SMOKE VERIFICATION CIGARETTE"

Unacceptable. Different thing bad!

It wasn't super meaningful from a narrative perspective, but no one who played Unreal when it was new is likely to forget that first step off the Vortex Riker onto Na Pali. Sure, there had been games like Myst, but this not only elevated how beautiful games can be, but put the player right in the middle of it like nothing else did. Not an easy moment to recreate. To be honest, that game plus UT2003/04 had some of the best graphics in the business, from both the technical and design standpoints.

Fair complaint, but fwiw Reddit went through the same thing with Digg. It passed.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I get the feeling that AI necromancy will be the next 3D. It'll be a fad for a few years, and then we'll wonder where "look kids, it's [dead/old actor]!" went. Maybe AI will find a useful place in film, maybe it won't, but I doubt it will be one of the main draws for very long.

Magnificent. I went to the one in Santa Fe and it was by far the least overrated thing ever. Stayed in it for hours.

I ask myself "why?" after most Steam sales, one of which was earlier this month. Six or seven new games to join the backlog. Relatively cheap, to be fair.

All to make their job easier, lol.

Not a teacher, but what I keep reading is that they're trying not to get pilloried by students' screaming MAGA parents.

Subtle. I like it.

"Hmm, we just finished killing off a revenue stream, better raise rates on the other."

Yes, I'm still mad about the DVD service ending. Legitimately hurt my interest in movies.

Good to know. As a man, I think about Rome at least twice a day.

My cousin caught my aunt doing that once.

Just thought you'd like to know, carry on.

How much does it cost to repair a fender bender on a Suburban? Cus on an R1S, well...

A little off-topic, but am I missing a joke here?

An indie game called OneShot from the Undertale knockoff genre has only one choice that matters, but god damn what a horrible choice, particularly since a child has to make it. And by the way, the game is called OneShot because it's designed to be played exactly once. If you want to play again, you have to mess with some files to do so.

The banner up top is blue because it looks like denim, right?

Hoo boy, a college roommate of mine got so hooked on that one that he became effectively nocturnal. To his credit, he was courteous enough to put his bedsheets down over the foot of his bed so the glare from his monitor didn't bother me while I was sleeping. I googled his name a while back and apparently he got his shit together, but that year was very worrying.

The whole thing should be built by Glock so that it can double as a hand grenade.

I was okay with the name reveal. My problem was the unduly hyped Ghost Rider arc, and also the last two seasons, which were certainly unique, but couldn't possibly have been more tacked-on.

This is missing Metal Gear Solid V: Whoa Ho.

After leaving it in my backlog for close to a decade, I finally started playing Fallout 3. Yeah. On a technical level it's mostly fine, save for some shocking framerate dips and the way it sometimes repeats my movement inputs. Other than that, it's a pretty good game, particularly for loot whores like myself.

Seems as good a reason as any to post this.

Good luck getting it out of your head, by the way.

Same here. Someone else in the thread said that's your tensor tympani muscle.

Yes, we all do, and most of us outgrow it.

Switch 64, duh. :V

For my part, I'm thinking of carrying a bag full of signs that say "Shame!" that I can put next to the offending excrement. Both to shame whoever's responsible, but also everyone else can watch their step.

Dumb question: from whom did he buy the domain? I.e. will the proceeds of the sale support the Trump campaign?

My favorite/least favorite instance of this kind of oh-so-subtle dysphemism is when CNN (I think) ran a piece about some marketing suit's complaint that millennials are "brand promiscuous", for basically the same reason as we're seeing with these streaming services applied to other products. This sort of thing is what led to r/DeathByMillennial.

I've picked 30XX back up, since it came out of Early Access yesterday. It's a really cool Megaman X/Roguelike platformer with Playstation-esque visuals and gameplay that's tweaked to perfection. Recommended HARD. In the interest of shrinking my backlog, I installed World of Goo last night, though I didn't get a chance to play it. It's well-reviewed though, so I'm looking forward to it.

I have a few that some others in the thread have already mentioned, but I can also:

  • wiggle most of my scalp back and forth
  • retract the middle of the tip of my tongue so when I stick it out, it looks like an ass
  • stop peeing mid-stream. Maybe this is perfectly common, but people talk about not being able to just stop, or at least not for longer than a few seconds.

Don't remember if I played on your server, but UT2K4 was the definitive FPS, hell, the definitive multiplayer game as far as I'm concerned. Cutting-edge graphics paired with gorgeous esthetics, ultra-refined gameplay with a mile-high skill ceiling, a million game modes and a billion mods, strong community and developer support. If it's good, it's probably true of UT2K4.

I thought I was so creative...
