This is a legitimate game and if it's not your cup of tea you shouldn't make fun of others for enjoying it.
That and it has 10x the budget of the first one.

Both Second Sight and Timesplitters were solid mid-teir games, but I never thought I'd see a sequel to either. Interesting.
TimeSplitters should have been huge. It took Goldeneye and Perfect Dark and just added more. Better bots, more of every kind of weapon, etc. But it never stuck with me. I had it for the GC, and just didn't really play much. I think part of the issue was that you had to unlock things, if I remember, by playing single player, which is a terrible idea for a game you want to play with friends. The other was just that there were far more entertaining 4 player games on that system. |

CO2 is only one condition out of dozens that contribute to climate change, but it is not the driving factor. I'll be laughing very loudly when they remove the CO2 and then discover that climate change gives no fucks about it. You might as well say you can stop the Earth from orbiting the sun by getting out and pushing in the opposite direction with your hands.
So, we should do nothing?
Do you always do nothing when the task seems difficult? |

The difference, to me, is that iOS is a mandatory grid of brightly colored icons.
Android isn't. You can use it as a grid, but I don't, and I feel many others don't. Here's some guy's theme. Mine is differently minimalist than his, but he has the date, the weather, and what he's currently playing, then the icons for what he uses most.
For me, I have a few icons on the screen, but they're all white outlines, so it doesn't block the wallpaper. They're a 2x6 row on the right hand side, with a 5x1 row on the bottom. The apps I use daily are 1 click to open. Some of those icons are folders, so the apps I use almost daily are 2 clicks. The rest live in an alphabetized drawer, which makes them 1 click plus a scroll.

Well, this is off to a good start.
How frequently do you think Wikipedia is wrong, relative to literally any other site?
Can you cite an article that's currently incorrect? |

I actually kind of like Edge. It feels less bloated than Chrome these days, and never had the memory leak issues I was seeing with FireFox.
I use Brave, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari regularly. Safari feels far and away like the worst. Firefox and Edge are my two preferred. |

So long as the Pixel 3 has another huge leap in camera tech, I'll jump on it. The only camera that I think is in the same conversation as the Pixel 2 is the Huwaei P20 Pro.
I'm holding my breath for this, haha. But I'll happily move from Samsung to Google for a better camera. |

Or, maybe, just don't eat chicken. Crazy talk, I know.

Her apology is still up, click here.
She says she never meant to mislead anyone. I don't fully understand how you actually have a fake diploma printed and claim very loudly that it's your diploma (and that anyone claiming otherwise is "fake news,") without meaning to mislead anyone. What could the purpose possibly be other than misleading people into thinking you'd graduated?
It appears, given this, her mother smiling next to her, and photos of her in cap and gown, that she failed to graduate but told her parents otherwise, and the lie kept going till this incident. She lied to her parents for like 30 years.
And, of course, despite forging a document and presenting it as real, she's still running. |

Eh.
The graphical tone seems off, no one has done even a half-decent attempt to revitalize this franchise, and they killed off Igor for some reason.
I replayed JA2:Gold last year. Would probably do it again before playing some half-assed new version. I'll pay attention when it's released, as the X-COM remake killed it, but very low expectations.
And Igor? Really?! |

| I never fully understand why people are against a notch by default. Some implementations are bad. But I'm fairly certain a few do it intelligently. Rather than the notch coming into the screen, it's the screen extending up into the bezel. The middle of the current Android top ribbon is never used, anyway, so you're pushing the status bar up without losing anything. It's increased space. The status bar then never cuts into an app, and if an app goes full screen, it just doesn't use that space, because it's incremental screen above and beyond the standard 16:9 or whatever ratio they use. |

I'll remember that you said this when we get a black James Bond.
Man, I wish Idris would do it. Looks like he said that is not happening though. I'm a blasphemer anyway. My favorite Bond was Brosnan. I'm not a fan of the last two Bond movies, although Casino and Quantum were quite good. Everyone loved Skyfall and I didn't like it that much.
As I said in the other topic, I thought Skyfall was just a terrible movie all around. Quantum was, too, though. Casino was a great start to build upon, but they regressed instead of built.
Idris is probably too old. I'm ok with an older Bond, but we'd get a first movie when he's 47 or 48. I think 40 is about right, with a new movie every other or third year until he's 50.
Brosnan was a great Bond, though a very different one, he was just in terrible movies. Unfortunately, the later Craig movies went just as dumb. If I have to see one more movie where the bad guy is secretly the good guy's brother... Still think Craig is the best and most interesting Bond, still think his movies have become unwatchable. |

THAT's what pushed her off Twitter? That's not even a HER issue, if executives were bragging about hiring someone very different then merely hired someone quite different that's on them.

I hated Doom 3. And monster closets is a big reason why. But I don't think that's incongruous with having loved Doom. By the time Doom 3 came out, the Doom style of play was heavily dated. Monster closets felt like a cheap trick. Worse, it was a repetitive trick, as Doom 3 relied so insanely heavily on them, and every time you picked up a powerup you could guarantee something would warp in next to you.
Really above all this, though, Doom 3 tried to be a more modern game. It didn't lean into what Doom 3 was, it made a new Half Life game, right down to you following some mysterious guy and constantly seeing him just a step ahead of you, off in the distance, ducking into some door. It tried to be a cinematic, plot heavy game, ripping off similar ones, but it jammed in an old gameplay idea that just stuck out badly. |

Craig was/is a great Bond, in some really mediocre movies. Casino Royale was a breath of fresh air, but had pacing issues. Every one since has been pretty terrible, with Skyfall being an absolute joke in my opinion (I know many love it, but not only was it Home Alone, but it gave us too much information on who Bond is, ruining the mystery.)
I can get behind an older Bond, one towards the end of his career, easier than a younger one. I think 38-45 is perfect, but could go a bit older. Under 30 would be dumb to me, and even 33 feels a bit too young to be as much of a cool expert. |

Some people are idiots and would contact Bethesda and blame them if codes aren't working. Bethesda would respond and say they've been used. The person should then go back to the seller and/or Amazon. And be told so.
What they're trying to cover for is so damn rare, that someone would be angry at them. Almost as rare as someone re-shrinkwrapping a game. |
