highly recommend a Delonghi, its the best coffe maker Ive ever owned

easy to clean, versatile, has never made a bad cup; they're always great

retweets appreciated!

cheers arvy!!

probably not, but I wish I kept better care of it :)

Ive never played a Riot game, and I never will

I always think of like, Metal Shows. no one is there that doesn't want to be there, its a self-filtering venue. no one is saying "please turn down the distortion and the guitar amps"

I want games to be like that. no one is playing something by accident, they showed up for the SHOW

Some people do, some people don't. I think its neurological, temporal, and cultural.

I have a feeling that pre-mediated people likely did talk to themselves a lot, which eventually found its way into stage, cinema. Games seem to be borrowing cinema's usage of Talking Out Loud, but its awkward

cypress hill in kingpin made the game feel so gritty in 1998

hard to think of a contemporary crossover that would have the same effect

wtttffffff

UT might be the main game we have in common

the 90s feels like a complete other planet from here, and Im sad for those who never saw it.

just to be that nerd: atomic purple cannot be spray painted on, it is a translucent ABS plastic that has to be injection moulded from factory :)

jokes aside this is a great article for a fantastic device🤘

it makes sense than Take Two/Rockstar want to greedily take as much of that return as possible, treating developers more like contract workers, who are not entitled to bonuses or a % of the gross revenue of a billion+++ dollar product

its nice when a company respects that they are selling you a universal turing machine

"install whatever you want on it, its a computer"

I think it'll all be pretty cheap. aside from their previous hardware being reasonably priced, they are a trillion(?) dollar company and they understand the long game of being a loss-leader

Ive always thought about it like Blockbuster. on the shelf you have Barbarella, China Syndrome. these movies with artistic merit. on the next shelf you can have Jane Fonda's Workout tapes. commercial products, but not made artistically

"videogame" is media like VHS; its contents not inherently art

yeah same, I remember they found a bunch of LFD3 code in some other valve release (Alyx maybe?) and it gave everyone false hope

yeah I realize they lost a lot of talent along the way, in particular laidlaw and falizak, not sure if pinkerton is still there
