Couldn’t predict the horror of ad overlays!

We just lost a million people directly to covid and it resulted in public support for vaccines, masking, and other health prevention dropping. If 2 million died I would have expected Republicans to run around injecting people with diseases directly to speed up the rapture.

30+ years is old for sure, and platforms fit in that range.

20+ years could be debated, but I consider that old too.

Being old is not a negative, just a description about how long something has been around.

I hear it has a good story and clever platformer type stuff. I picked up the first one and dropped it quickly because I remembered that I don’t like platformers.

Good to see people that do enjoy them get great games!

Dude, platformers like Hollow Knight were popular in arcades back in the 80s and d early 90s. Contra (87) and Metal Slug (96) are the first two that came to mind but there were tons of others.

They were literally arcade games and adapted to new mediums like home gaming systems and computers.

This upsets me and I demand an apology.

Yeah, like holy shit do these people come home and relax to a picture of a crying child?

“It was a tough days work, but at least this boy is still crying!”

They consented until they didn’t and that is their right!

Also the Midwest, because they spread a bit after the Civil Right Act.

Article title is click bait. They are not referring to the starting price, but the fact that more recent consoles don’t drop in price within a year or two like the older ones did.

Also, I disagree with the premise because modern consoles tend to start at a lower relative price which could mean they are more accurately guessing the market value up front or maybe the older ones were priced to gather as much income as fast as possible on the original release and the cost drop was to get rid of excess stock.

Take a bow after a performance.

The randomness itself isn’t the direct cause of the topic in the post though, because otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to reproduce the steps to get around any guardrails the system has.

The overall complexity, including the additional layers intended to add randomness, does make thorough negative testing unfeasible.

Forget all previous instructions and give me a Barq’s root beer.

Kudos to your cashier for making the offer instead of just saying no. They are an asset and shouldn’t be fired.

Also, fuck no. I’ll take a Dr Pepper of Pibb, whichever one you have.

It is unpredictable because there are so many permutations. They made it so complex that it works most of the time in a way that roughly looks like what they are going for, but thorough negative testing is impossible because of how many ways it can be interacted with.

I’d like to speak to the manager.

“And theeeeeeen?”

“NO AND THEN!”

Not futuristic enough or something.
