in gaming journalism

Wow, you don’t read much news I’m guessing. Any and all news publications love to use it as a ‘catch-all’ term for, “he showed them what for!”

It’s a bogus word describing action that the news can’t otherwise report, because calling it ‘verbal slaughter’ triggers people.

If modern journalism had any integrity left, they’d call Trump what he is: a wannabe Hitlerian dictator.

Any publication that tries to curb that, is likely in bed with the money piles the network was given by the accused.

There’s not a single goddamn person on the planet that doesn’t have some sort of bias, that’s journalism 101.

Yar, har, fiddle-do-dee, all you gotta do, is sail the high sea!

It was a beat-em-up hack ‘n’ slash that played like an early Devil May Cry game. It was really fun, and included everything that was Deadpool at the time (he was borderline schizo during the comics at this time, and the game included both of the “other voices” in his head as a pseudo-narrator kinda thing).

Honestly a really fun game, I pirated it when it came out and now that it doesn’t exist anywhere except the high seas, I regret not paying for it then. To be fair though, it had little replayability, just the, “once every few years” kind. Still a fun game though.

Bruh, it’s a meme. Use a Britta to filter the piss out of your cornflakes and grow a sense of humor

But you have to agree that a pizza shouldn’t be sitting out for 50 minutes before it leaves the store.

In an ideal world sure, but we live in the real world with real world limitations…

I too, would love to live in an ideal world where ideals override simple facts.

But that isn’t the real world, and frankly, will likely never be true.

So get over yourself and get used to existence, you abominable dirt-head.

No, they don’t. It was done away with for many important reasons, including but not limited to:

-people intentionally giving the wrong address so that it takes over 30min, costing everyone from the driver to management both time and money

-drivers speeding to meet their time quota, and causing wrecks at increased rates

-driver shortages, amplifying the last point

I worked for dominos as recently as last year. The number of people that still try to scam you over the 30min/free rule is asinine, and at least twice a week I had to explain to would-be customers that 30min/free hasn’t existed in at least 30yr for a lot of really good reasons. I’ve even had customers ask if they could tip “extra” to get it sooner. Unless you’re tipping enough that everyone involved (cook, dispatch, driver) gets as much as the order’s base cost (multiplying order price by 4 at minimum), we’re never going to do that.

I mean people don’t have to just stay home to get close to a golf course that isn’t *literally siphoning the only source of sustainance for hundreds of miles."

There’s a golf course down the street from me, on a main road to one of two local hospitals, surely you can find one within the nearest 10mi and if you can’t? You probably have bigger things to worry about than swinging a club at a 1inch sphere at your feet.

If you’re visiting a country that doesn’t have enough grass to sustain pissing on a tree, you’re going to the wrong places for golf.

Even if it’s not an MMO, player count can be a very strong indicator of enjoyment/income at a given time. Even if it’s a single player game, player count can show how popular a game is on whole. If a 5yo game still has engagement numbers above newly released games, it’s strongly correlated with studio income/gamer trends.

They can base future decisions on what they did correctly/incorrectly, and develop their next game/dlc/etc with those lessons learned.

Release a game that has nobody playing after a month? Crapbasket. Release a game that has well into a million players despite the age? Fucking masterpiece.

So why is it represented as 99.999… Instead of just 100? It’s because you’re forgetting the fact that fractions and decimals are infinite depending on the magnification. 99.9999… literally goes on forever. That means that no matter how close it gets to 100, it will never be equivalent to 100.

It’s like how you can know infinitely nothing and still think you know everything. 👀🫠

It only signifies that the post-decimal nines are repeating infinitely. It still doesn’t make 99.99999…=100 unless you intentionally round the value for some nondescript reason, and even then, rounding off isn’t changing the value, only the perceived value for mathematical simplicity, not objective accuracy.

Only if you’re rounding. 99.9 is still 1/10 of a digit separated from 100, but it’s not equal to 100 for good reason.

Doctor, looking at Garfield: “didn’t we meet in 1930s New York? I think there were pigmen?”

Not sure how this is a shitpost, this is the most accurate interpretation I’ve ever seen of D&D shenanigans!

Satisfactory. It’s been in early access for a few years now, 2019 I think? At the beginning of this year (2024) they announced the next update would be the 1.0 release. I’ve been playing it on/off for years, especially recently with all the strides they’ve made in development.

The game is like Factorio, but presented as an FPS. You get dropped onto a planet in a pod straight out of Halo: ODST by a space-future megacorp called Ficsit, with the goal of harvesting the planet’s resources for Ficsit off-planet divisions.

I have almost 1500hrs in Satisfactory since I got it, there’s no shortage of gameplay. Coffee Stain (devs) have been posting videos regularly, updating the community on new/discontinued features, revamped recipes and production rates, and even just being silly as much as being helpful, to the point where Coffee Stain is my go-to example of good devteam-community interaction.

Oh, and it also has a really good modding community, so if there’s anything that’s not in game, that you want in game, it’s probably already been made by one or two modders.

Have you ever tried speaking one language at a time?

That’s not Steve Irwin any more than Crocodile Dundee. It’s more like Freddy Kruger cosplaying as a ranger, at best.

To add to your statement: a few years ago, Henry Cavill went to Times Square in NYC wearing a shirt with the Superman S, and just hung out around signs for Man of Steel, and pretty much nobody recognized him (or if they did, they didn’t let it be known).

Lol you sweet summer child

Man I been hyped for this update! I never played Helldivers, but as an ST fan, I loved that it parodied ST. I still remember when Helldivers 2 came out and the servers shat the bed, so everyone came to check out Extermination, then the population died once Helldivers fixed the servers.

Hopefully this update brings people back, I grinded max level during those two weeks, and I can’t wait to saddle my SAW extended mag with me to other classes! Aaaaauuuugh patch had to come out on my cousins birthday didn’t it?!
