Rare Pelosi W, as the kids say.

Market traders are probably the only entities on the planet who are still surprised by negotiations falling through yet again.

Basically, if Cloudflare doesn’t like anything at all about you, you’ll get a verification page. And, since apparently Cloudflare only has object permanence for Chromium, they’ll flag other browsers as suspicious and force you to jump hoops for using them.

Well, you’re also not the target audience. This is aimed at the people who buy Madden every year, who are already inured to predatory monetization, and so will probably just roll over and take it.

Worse than nothing: El Taco has finally definitively one-upped Obama’s $1.7 billion with this new $300 billion.

They were trying to hide their relationship, though. Any talk of hypothetical Skywalker kids would have raised the question of who the mother would be, which leads straight back to Padme, so Anakin absolutely would not have ever brought the subject up. Unless he was high as a kite on painkillers, maybe.

What did that poor astromech droid ever do to you?

I think it’s just that the characters’ creators are all dead.

Since you already financed the bridge, you can use all those rupees to power your magic armor now instead!

Dammit Jim, I’m not a Roman dictator!

I wish GP mode had a classic mode option, though, instead of “get to the track and then do a single lap”.

That doesn’t necessarily mean a sequel though. I mean, yes, this trailer could actually be taking place in the Colony, but aesthetics don’t really match Eidos 7 and the spaceships that we see in the game.

Either there’s a major timeskip, because where the fuck did this cyberpunk metropolis come from given the original post-apocalyptic setting, or this is a prequel kicking off the apocalypse.

A good question! For another time.

If you’re someone that loves the prequels because you watched them as a kid, how do think it’ll be in a decade when kids that watched Rise of Skywalker start posting to web forums?

A decade? You mean in 3 years? Those kids have started posting on the internet already, and they still don’t give a shit.

Well, it is the 30th anniversary this year, so I guess Tomb Raider Anniversary Electric Boogaloo shouldn’t surprise me.

When I read the blurb for the game, I didn’t think they meant actual Lovecraft, so I was kinda surprised when Dagon and the Marshes of Innsmouth got explicitly referenced. There were a couple parts where I was expecting to get attacked by abominations, so I was quite relieved when nothing of the sort happened. All in all, I have to say that I quite enjoyed it. And it’s not a long game at all, really, so you can probably power through it in a day.

…Did Neo have an active social life? Admittedly I haven’t seen the movie in forever, but IIRC he didn’t have much going on other than work and being a hacker.

But… That’s not a square…
