Gas I do not use so I do not care.
I don’t own a car and don’t use gas either. But my food, clothes, toiletries, mail, and lots of other things I need all probably required gas in order to get to me. If you live in a city, especially a US city, chances are high that you rely on gasoline a great deal just to get food, even if it’s only indirectly.
I feel like, if the USSR is to blame for modern Russia, then Tsarist Russia shares some of the blame as well
There are way more evangelicals supporting Israel than there are Israeli-Americans, so I’d say mainly evangelicals. And that difference only gets bigger if you start including other conservative Christian groups.
Came here to mention Loria as well. I like to call it “Warcraft 2.5”
You’re not kidding!

I’m also still incredibly salty about this. The Quake 1 and 2 remasters also are a huge contrast to how the Unreal franchise has been handled.
I recently got my gog copy of UT2004 running on my Steam Deck. It was a huge pain in the ass that I could have circumvented by buying a Steam copy… but of course that’s no longer an option. I guess Epic doesn’t want easy money from their old games.
Valve has already started talking to press outlets about their plans for a Steam Deck 2 in two to three years.

Yeah, this is what I’m thinking as well. I got one during the summer sale this year; these improvements are nice but not worth trying to upgrade so soon.
Fun fact if you’re not aware: many American police recieved training from Israeli police and military.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”
Eye-rollingly uncreative lyric choices. Rhyming pairs like “fire/pyre” “higher/desire” “fly/sky” - or tacking filler words like “yeah” or “tonight” to the end of a line.
That’s just a few examples off the top of my head, but there are tons of lyrical cliches I’ve heard that make me grind my teeth when I hear them.
I’ve heard of people struggling with it, but personally I got used to it very quickly.
I haven’t played Splatoon but I’ve heard it doesn’t use standard shooter controls, so it may not be the best example of the gyro aim I’m taking about.
If you haven’t yet, you might try grabbing Quake 1 or 2 on the Switch (they’re on sale right now!) and give that a shot with gyro on.
Gyroscope controls. Especially for first-person shooters and other first-person games. I used to be a diehard mouse and keyboard player when it came to FPSes until I played Quake 1 on the Switch with gyro controls turned on. Now I’m trying to find ways to be able to play every FPS in my collection on a TV with gyro aim because it just feels so much better.
I believe by dual screen + console + flop they meant the dual screen setup the Wii U had.
RPGs in the style of the Ultima games, specifically ones that use a keyword-based conversion system. Aside from the Ultima series itself, the only other examples I know of that use a system like this are Cythera - a 1990s Macintosh shareware game that was very similar to Ultima 6 and 7 - and The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind.
Sounds like Threads has lost the thread…
I’ll see myself out.
Nintendo has never been very successful going after the high-end market.
This is 100% correct and worth emphasizing, since I think a lot of people don’t understand Nintendo’s history with this.
They tried to aim for a more premium console with the N64 and the Gamecube, and the result was Sony ate their lunch. Then they came out with the Wii – widely derided for being underpowered and gimmicky – and it was a hugely popular financial success. Nintendo knows by now what works for them and what doesn’t.
I heard Alien Ant Farm’s cover of Smooth Criminal way before I ever heard the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDl9ZMfj6aE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_D3VFfhvs4
Also, Anthrax’s Got the Time turned out to be a Joe Jackson cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be7iNHw8QoQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTIPCc1nKYQ
Thanks, I hadn’t heard about this until now and was able to grab a copy.
