Now I'm wondering if there's a supervillain fight where Spider-Man just insulted his enemy over and over until they lost all morale and gave up. Spidey's been around long enough that I have to assume it happened at some point.

Interview starts 3 minutes in. All ads before that - including an ad for the very conversation you clicked on. Fuck iHeart.

Crazy to see the N64 so far down the list. I was a Sega-, then Sony-kid but it seemed like the N64 had a better market share than the graphic would imply. Might just be confirmation bias based on my age though.

I have to believe that whomever it was who coined the term "sex bot" would be very disappointed to see how the term is being used today.

I think you misunderstand their point. PostIdent would only be useful AFTER someone took the time to rate the game. Steam does not require any official content/maturity rating in their store, just some subjective content descriptors. To do so would pass an additional cost onto developers. The US-based ESRB process, for example, can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to rate a title.

Further to your point, I try to limit the number of times I provide my personal ID online. It's one thing when you show your ID at a bar and the bartender gives it back to you after a glance. It's another when I'm sending a photocopy over the internet and trusting a remote, distant party to use the data once and discard it. Even worse if they save it for future use and risk leaking it later.

The PS3 also had damn few games to play at launch. If it wasn't for Sony's decision to ship it with a BD-ROM drive it probably would have been a total flop. Home theater nerds saved the PS3.

I like this. I'm not stealing it, just copying it for personal use.

No it can't wait until Monday at 9am, no there will not be a staged roll out and multiple rounds of testing.

I hope you're doing internal product development. Otherwise, name and shame so I can stay the hell away from your product. This is a post-Crowdstrike world.

I spent a weekend helping my buddy who graduated magna cum laude with an Electrical and Computer Engineering degree build a PC. Given a breadboard and some schematics, he could probably have created working prototypes of half of the components, but figuring out where to put the screw risers under the motherboard? Forget about it.

It's not so bad. I hope he stays on the ballot for his shellacking in November, then goes down with his wife (ayy) when they get arrested for the $130k they appear to have misused from the DHHS

On a walk through the woods, would you rather encounter a strange man, a bear, or twice-impeached former president Donald J. Trump?

Jesus, why did I click around in there? I want to pity them for being so pathetic, but they're being pathetic in the most aggravating way. This game is woke because it's got a black man and an Asian man in it. That game is woke because it refers to the faceless protagonist with they/them pronouns.

What's sad is I'm sure there are some people engaging in that forum as a form of satire and Poe's law is in full effect so we will never know who is who.
