Did they really “fall” for it though? Or did they just spread it because it fit their agenda?

+1 for the Dark Tower books.

But I’d note, there’s a dramatic tonal shift between the first half and the last half.

After book 4, you lose the flashbacks to Roland’s youth and it’s a straight through narrative for books 5, 6 and 7.

I think the accident that almost killed him put the fear of god in him.

Hey, I’ve been doing this 30 years and just learned it today, you have NOTHING to feel bad about. :)

Or cheese.

Plus, NORMALLY in reporting like this, there would be a link to see if the readers vehicle is impacted. I don’t think Reuters even bothered.

Says it’s updated as of 9/26.

They were, but as somone who has both a One X and a Series X, I did run the game on both and it was not a horrible experience on the One X.

PS4 had it rough and original recipe Xbox One and One S were unplayable, but the One X got by.

But then, I don’t think anyone expected the game would need a full overhaul and, what? 3 years before the DLC would come out?

I was part of the hardcore build it yourself crew for years and years, but I find now that for the last 10 years or so now, and especially with the death of places like Fry’s and all the bullshit Newegg pulled, it’s way easier and cheaper to buy a pre-built box that’s maybe 90-95% there, then tweak what you need to tweak.

Get that manufacturers warranty and forget trying to part it out yourself.

$3,500 here.

Pretty much. Try getting a job without online access, or applying for state and federal benefits. Or getting a doctor through your insurance plan.

“I demand summary judgement!”

“GRANTED!”

“No… not like that…”

IIRC this is the case where his lawyers neglected to ask for a jury trial, so it’s all on the judge and he IS NOT having it…

Found liable for sexual assault and defamation in civil court isn’t quite the same as “convicted sex offender” in criminal court.

For example, he doesn’t (yet) have to join a sex offender registry.

Sounds like someone wasn’t able to ship product and had their licensing pulled…

“what happens next is… unchartered territory.”

The game does run. The DLC is not quite the same thing. Good for them for cutting last gen loose. A lot of their problems would have been solved if they did it sooner.

2 people + snacks, I’m lucky if it’s ONLY $50.

You better have your operations in order!

They bought a last gen console after current gen launched, that’s not CD Projekt Red’s problem. Last gen is last gen.

Open the scanner and quicktravel everywhere…

Now, when it comes to “Marvel regurgitation”, yeah, they could, and should, be doing better. They essentially re-use the same basic plot over and over again and will keep doing it until they hit one that doesn’t make a billion dollars.

I’m a lifelong comic book fan and I love that nerd culture is finally taking over, but I swear to god, I don’t need another superhero movie where the hero and villain have a joined origin story and the villain is just a bigger, badder version of the hero.

Seriously.

I recognize that Christie isn’t exactly Shakespeare, but why adapt a book and change literally everything about it?

It’s not in Venice, the house is not haunted, there’s no seance… I guess some of the names are the same?
