Just lining up number on Wikipedia: Banjo Kazooie sold 3 million copies total. Diablo II did 2 million in the first month and a half, and that's a PC game! People respect it but I don't see people obsessing the way they do about platformers.

Oh neat! Graupel

Why did this feel like it's maybe in the good-boy-isekai universe?

They fired it *over* I-5?!??

I wonder if San Diego having a North County Transit District has any positive effects. There is an East West train line for example.

How are people generally feeling about Prop 50? On the one hand I feel like independent districting commissions are the kind of thing you can have when the Voting Rights Act is in place. On the other hand it literally is what it is, and it being Newsome's scheme seems like damning with faint praise

Do they even have correct mantles? Or are they just an open flame?

The 'cave' is teeth, right?

The pigment genes are fun. I almost wonder if they're one of those red herrings that kept people from figuring out the gene concept until Mendel.

I like how someone assigned him Conan and he just understood the assignment. 'You want Frank Frazetta?'

Given the number of social ills it's being used to sanewash, the next AI winter is going to come with regulation and might be 'nuclear'.

Is being able to decompose photo-real images into colors and shapes a thing that's trained? or do I just have something like a weird version of aphantasia?

To be a Freeway it must come from California. Anything else is just the Interstate System.

The people in my Spanish 4 class invented "ababar" (to become an elephant) to have fun conjugating it.

It's taking so much release space it is having an effect on the perception of one-off spinoffs in other games! You should see the number of people who are absolutely*not* happy about Battletech Gothic.

That sounds like a hilariously roundabout way of saying "planted".

I think there's a related conversation on the need to complete games. Like I'd consider myself a fan but I don't think I've ever actually finished an XCom game? (Without cheats to see it) Got closer on the new one before losing interest on the late game.
I only finish some long games.

You might argue that they are *only* prejudiced. Like that's the mechanism upon which they work.

To be honest though: delivery was always exploitative. It depends on employees being willing to risk one of their largest assets for a few extra bucks per hour, that doesn't pay for the insurance costs without omitting it.

And is that a charger with a normal payment terminal instead of an app?

I'm always surprised it didn't stop getting deployed in cheaper housing when the gas lamps stopped.

That was one of the things I liked about Xanatos as a villain. He had a tendency to be like "The big objective failed but at least these other objectives worked so I got something out of it."
