I think that depends largely on somebody's "join" date. If they're under 6 months old, they probably got banned/censored from Reddit. If they joined in the last 6-12 months, it's probably because of Reddit's AI policies. If they joined 12-18 months ago, it was probably due to the API changes shutting down third-party apps. If they're older than that, then they're probably just tankies.
Wasn't the Mario movie pretty well-received among fans, though? The Resident Evil films were also very successful, despite not being popular with the game's original audience.
I live in Austin, but I never go to SXSW because it's an absolute clusterfuck. Some time in the early 2010s, some friends managed to finally drag me out to a few free shows one year. We were getting drinks at this bar that had a bunch of bands playing, and after a while we see Bill Murray is behind the bar serving drinks. Like, actually Bill Murray. I didn't think it was him at first, because nobody seemed to even notice that Bill fuckin' Murray is tending bar right now. He definitely wasn't there when we walked in, but that's him right now, taking orders at the bar.
Though, "taking orders" may be generous. He'd hear your order. He'd nod his head, say "Comin' up", and pour you a shot of tequila. Doesn't matter what you actually ordered, he gave you tequila. Oh you wanted a whiskey sour? Sure thing, here's some tequila. Margarita with a lime wedge? You betcha, enjoy your tequila. Oh your table wants another round of Lone Stars? You betcha, six tequilas, on the way.
One of the bands got really angry with him, saying that he got them too drunk to play, and blamed him for ruining their set. Dude gets on the mic and says "I'm sorry you guys, y'all deserve better... but fuckin Bill Murray over there got us shitfaced!" And then Bill shouts from behind the bar "I don't even work here!"
Never went back to SXSW. Why would I, when it'd be impossible to top that experience?
While defeating such a restriction is usually trivial, the point isn't so much to stop you from using the app, as much as it is to make you aware of just how much time you're spending on it. Sometimes being made aware of how much time you're dedicating to a habit can help you in breaking it.
I know somebody who used a similar mechanism to quit smoking. He'd tally up each cigarette he'd have throughout the day, and having a number to reference helped to quantify the problem for him. Counting his smokes wasn't what made him quit, but it helped him realize just how severe his problem was, so he was able to actually find the motivation to do something about it. Similarly, an app timer may trigger the thought of "I keep spending more time on this app than I promised myself I would, I need to figure out what keeps drawing me to do this".
I used to play RF2 multiplayer on GameCube with my brother when we were kids. We'd go onto that space map and try to snipe each other from across the map with the railgun.
The SH1900 from The Finals is one of the most satisfying guns I've used in a game before. Kicks like a horse but chunks away enemy health bars. High risk, high reward, high octane. And the audio just thumps you right in the chest with every shot, almost as much as the folks on the business end of the barrel.
That's interesting that they give you the full details like that. Most games will, at most, tell you "We took action against a player you reported", or something equally vague.
I've been wanting a replacement for ages now. The problem is that Discord does everything it does very well (with a few exceptions), way better than any of its competitors. It's incredibly hard to replace, because no other product really matches it in any category. Cost, ease of use, feature set, cross-app API support... Nobody else comes close; even if you paid a ton of money for premium services to replace Discord, you're still likely going to downgrade your overall experience.
I really want to see more competition in this space.
I believe these dangers will depend largely on the type of glue you use. I know that some super glue recipes are effectively the same ones used in surgical glues, which I would imagine would be safe(r) on your skin.
Either way, developing calluses naturally will be the best way to do it. They'll form naturally to the right shape, but glue will be applied slightly differently each time, which could lead to consistency issues while learning to play.
True. But it's either that, or whatever the racist yokel intercepting you on your next walk has in store for you.
With one option, you get a public defender, at the very least. The other option, your next of kin gets a really somber phone call. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Uhh, isn't that kinda against the whole point of being a spokesperson in the first place? To put a name and a face behind a message?
Dunno why The Verge plays along.
