Escalate to management as quickly as possible so you’re not just annoying some poor front desk worker that had nothing to do with it.

E3 has been garbage on all levels for like 10 years, it’s for the best.

It’s already beatable right now, there are services in third world countries where people get paid fractions of a penny to solve captchas for machines.

Or I can pay nothing and get a plain video file that I can do anything I want with, and play on any device without needing a player. And as long as I keep that file backed up somewhere, I’ll always have a copy of it.

The TV business is struggling to learn the lesson the music industry learned a long time ago.

Doing a quick skim on my phone, your microphone quality is fine. I would probably lower the game audio in post a bit to make the sound more distinct, but it’s only noticeable when the game does loud stuff.

One of my favorite search ads that appeared in the mid 2000s happened when I was bored. I searched “grandpa” without any context just to see what would come up, because I really was that bored. One of the ads that appeared was one of those where they just shove your search in the title verbatim so someone not paying attention might think it was what they wanted.

It said something like “Looking for grandpa? Find great deals here!” I don’t remember exactly what the second part said, but the “Looking for grandpa?” part made me bust out laughing. I then started searching other random stuff to try and get something equally stupid, but it didn’t capture me quite the same way. Either way, my boredom was alleviated.

I always think the revelation types that think they’re definitely getting saved before the apocalypse is funny. The Bible says 144,000 will be saved, but the current estimate of Christians on earth is about 2.2 billion from what I can find. So you just gotta hit that 0.006545% chance.

While they’re at it, they can go to the casino, bet their entire life savings on a single number on the roulette wheel, do that twice in a row, and their odds of winning that are 11x higher than being picked for rapture.

I like how for all the problems Brazil has, the consumer protection laws are consistently some of the best around.

Unless the original standard agrees and implements it, then you’ve just created a new standard.

Execute just adds 1, so if you want the dir world viewable, it’s 755.

I don’t know anyone that actually thinks like that at store level.

As a retail manager, it looks fine? If the people in front of you are all waiting to check out, they should probably grab people from other departments to cover a few extra registers for a bit, but the store itself looks nice to me.

Fit girls make fit games

Yeah whoops, brain said terabyte but fingers said gigabyte.

I know storage is cheap, but nearly half a terabyte? I’m already giving any game the side eye if it takes more than 50G of space on a disk, let alone nearly 10x that.

The tech is interesting and has applications

I used to say that, but I’ve given up on that idea. I’ve never seen a use of blockchain yet that didn’t boil down to being virtual money. NFTs could have had potential as a method of trade if they were tied to real ownership of things instead of just receipts saying you bought a cartoon monkey jpeg.

But every time I think something would be a problem blockchain solves, I can always think of an existing, typically better, solution to that same problem. I think that space is too infested with grifters to attract anyone with a truly novel idea.

My dad went over the bars of a dirtbike when he was about 20 and landed hard on his shoulder, but walked it off.

Came back to haunt him with a vengeance last year almost 50 years later, super high pain in that shoulder that took a surgery to go away.

The last vehicle to move is the one at fault, even if someone else parks right up on them.

She would probably be touched if you asked her. I say go for it.

I’ve had a lot of games that I found online, thought they looked fun, then discovered I actually had them in my steam library already and never once touched them.
