The typo makes the answer incorrect. The whole question would need to be thrown out.

That’s an interesting perspective. The odds of correctly guessing any multiple choice question with four answers should be 25%. But that assumes no duplicate answers, so I still say that’s wrong.

That’s not what manslaughter means.

A lot of the game is scanning planets, gathering resources, and upgrading your ship. The upgrades allow you to gather more resources, explore further, and get better weapons so you can survive hostile alien encounters.

If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Sure, but not as much as straight up murder.

The Trump Organization is selling official Trump 2028 hats.

Does better reading comprehension get you a better answer?

B.

This is a multiple choice test. Once you eliminate three answers, you pick the fourth answer and move on to the next question. It can’t be A, C, or D, for reasons that I understand. There’s a non-zero chance that it’s B for a reason that I don’t understand.

If there is no correct answer, then there’s no point hemming and hawing about it.

B. Final answer.

Especially considering the jury may well be quite sympathetic to him.

I think people on the internet vastly overestimate how sympathetic a jury will be.

Multiplayer games are nearly unplayable in 2025.

Not to be contrarian, because I think you’re making some good points, but Split Fiction came out less than two months ago.

I’m also sinking hundreds of hours into Ravenswatch, which I don’t hear anyone talking about, but it’s incredible.

Other than those, I also have a hard time finding games to play multiplayer, but I think maybe that’s a problem with you and me and not with gaming. Like I see people having a ton of fun with Marvel Rivals, and I wish I could get into it, but I can’t.

Thankfully it looks like the industry is moving away from microtransactions and live service games, or at least they’re starting to learn that there’s a time and a place for those things.

That’s beautiful.

Reminds me of last week when everyone was talking about how Bluesky is worthless because it’s just going to go the way of Twitter. And I’m like, Twitter was a good thing for like 15 years.

If Bluesky follows that same pattern, great.

shitty.

You can say shitty.

I want to take all these censored memes and edit them so the bad words are in bold red font.

Then I remember the one time I saw a meme that for some reason had the bad word written in red, and my four-year-old daughter was looking over my shoulder and said, “Cunt. That word says ‘cunt’.”

There was a guy in my dorm who really didn’t like his roommate. Really, really didn’t like him. This was in the early aughts.

So one day he goes on his roommate’s computer and puts a text file in his startup folder. The file says, “Your computer has been infected by the Snood virus!”

For context, Snood was a free video game people downloaded in the early aughts. Basically the same as Bust-A-Move, which probably doesn’t clarify anything if you didn’t already know what Snood is.

Anyway: “Your computer has been infected by the Snood virus! If you don’t score [extremely difficult but not completely unrealistic high score] points, all of your files will be deleted!”

He laughed to himself and promptly forgot about it.

Weeks later, the roommate is on his computer in the middle of the night.

“What are you doing up? Go to bed.”

“I can’t. It’s this stupid Snood virus.”

Disco Elysium gave me this experience in a new context. But better, because it blurs the line between success and failure.

Star Flight. I played it on Genesis, and it’s still one of the greatest games I’ve ever played.

One space ship, 270 solar systems, and 800 planets. The manual included a captain’s log that was sent back in time from the future, but without that you’d just be scouring the stars for clues, interrogating aliens, digging through ancient ruins, and watching slowly as a rash of planet-destroying solar flares spreads through the galaxy.

So fucking good.

Obviously I don’t know your personal situation, but they can’t actually force you to play Roblox. You’re allowed to say no.

Joking aside, the existence of bad games doesn’t make gaming worse when there are great games still being made. ET doesn’t count against Super Mario Bros. just because they were released in the same decade. Superman 64 doesn’t count against Ocarina of Time just because they were a year apart. And Fortnite being released eight years ago definitely doesn’t count against gaming today just because people are still playing it.

Yeah 1998 had some great games. A couple of them even hold up today. But not many, and the biggest reason those games topped the charts back then was because gaming as a whole was like 1% of the size it is today.

If you can’t find more than three games worth playing in a year, then either you don’t like games that much, or you’re not looking.

A tree stole my wallet and had sex with my wife!

Nice one. Still waiting for pickle car though.

This is one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen.
