It's when there's a disconnect between the storytelling and the gameplay. Usual example is Uncharted or the last Tomb Raider reboot: the main character wrings their hands over the possibility of having to kill a person, but the gameplay is you mowing down an army.

Sadly, even before the mod purge many subs couldn't get that right. I don't know how many discussions I had over the years about things that appeared in the sidebar, only to find the other person was looking at a completely different version of it. New.reddit.com was a problem from the start.

Study: Streamers Now Wasting Record Amounts of Time Finding Something to Watch

Content discovery challenges are forcing the average consumer to spend 10.5 minutes finding something to watch each time they access their streaming services according to Nielsen

Combining those, it sounds to me like their usage of "streamers" is referring to the viewers. If they meant the services, it'd read more like "Streamers now wasting record amounts of people's time".

A piece of internet history. So glad it's been preserved.

Most of the Star Trek shows. Bring back Prodigy, Paramount.

Bethesda put out a long video around Summer Game Fest that spent 45 minutes showing most of the gameplay systems in the game. It was honestly a bit overwhelming.

Reviewers are quiet because the NDA is still active. It should end sometime today (Aug 31).

It's a sad trend watching the people who defined your childhood pass away.

Ah, rocket jumping. Of course.

Even with the low framerate it's still highly inefficient and comes to 23MB. This is why you don't use gif for video.

Wow. I'm surprised at the dislike for the old detailed icon. Maybe it's being old enough to remember black and white icons, but I miss the increasing amount of colors that icons had for a while there. I hate the trend toward monocolor silhouettes.

Henchman 24: Come on! They have one female servicing a large group of males. That implies a species that lays eggs.

Henchman 21: Oh my God, you're crazy! They're so obviously mammals!

Henchman 24: Please! She'd be in estrus 24/7 if she didn't lay eggs.

Henchman 21: Smurfs don't lay eggs! I won't tell you this again! Papa Smurf has a fucking beard! They're mammals!

Depends on if he's saying Laurel or Yanny.

"But Marge, it's uterus, not uter-you."

That's some good nostalgia.

Related: turning to look at a passenger for an extended conversation. At least glance at the road once in a while.

She's changed her mind since April, when all 9 said there was no need for oversight. Glad to hear she's coming around, if a bit late.

"Community" is the term equivalent to "subreddits" on the old site. I assume the lack of posting is part of why it's still labeled as a beta.

Yes indeed.

The Klingon breakdown in the final song about had me laughing so hard I was almost in tears. I appreciate using the songs to move various character storylines forward. It feels like everyone ended the episode in a much better place, outside of Spock. ...and maybe M'Benga...he didn't seem thrilled with the singing, though he certainly had some fancy footwork during the final song.
