Well here from the ~future~ it would be nice to have an underground freeway! Easy for me to say in 2026 tho

What was the eventual effect on Chinatown of the freeway coming down? Did Rose Pak ever come around to seeing the demolition as good?

PS and Xbox abandoned the kid market and gone for males in their 20s so long ago. They still dont realize a generation that grew up with chrome books and whose parents couldnt buy them expensive consoles are now BOTH pc gamers and the ppl in their 20s.

Great point. Another advantage to Nintendo. I always get a physical box of the kids big game present.

Just putting this out there: as a kid whose early videogame exposure was defined by what you could borrow from the public library, if I owned a non-Steam gaming storefront, I’d work out a deal with Kanopy, or set up a similar game-focused service and partner with public libraries.

A major factor in thrash is also creative leaders changing their mind and redesigning the game mid-production; worse without proper rigor behind the change. Playtesting and feedback driving changes: yes. Buyer’s remorse, re-litigating pre-pro arguments or just-got-this-feeling on the drive in: no.

It reminds me of when uber first appeared here in SF. At first it felt magical (the taxis never come to my neighborhood but this one will, and look its here on a map!) and it was cheap. Then when they buried any other transit + went public suddenly the prices soared.

The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.

Maybe in aggregate from a sorta-fantasy stars pov. But going to a baseball game us also a thing you do with your friends/kid/parent and make some memories. Besides the ghost runner means almost 70% of extra inning games end in the 10th

Trump saying let's re-open Alcatraz because he watched Escape From Alcatraz on TV is funny but the fact it was playing on PBS and he saw it is funnier

"that the zeitgeist allows them to play it" is such a great point. Sure feels like an entire generation of players are motivated by playing something to be part of the conversation, so only the really popular games. a form of game-virality that feels new

They were banned until Prop E passed this fall b/c of the doom loop narrative bs!

It was a high speed police chase north down San Jose past Randall. Multiple police cars chasing this car and they almost hit my family as they waited at a stop light. Not surprised something as reckless as a police chase led to a tragedy like this.

If its real, its honestly strong BS that someone at EA leaked an internal email from the Director of Dragon Age to the press. Whoever that is should really be ashamed.

more recent than the also good Seamus Heaney. Its still an ancient saga but with some more up to date language that I think makes it an easier read.
