I don't recall Arena having many patches, but since there wasn't a great way to distribute patches back then, they probably had no choice but to get their shit at least mostly stable before shipping.

Sounds like a Genitorturers concert!

Funny you say that, because Amazon seems to cancel the few shows I get invested in.

When I lived in FL, I swear I was the only one voting that wasn't retired.

That is great news if they stick to it. Ttheir WebOS TVs are becoming slimier and slimier.

Not the previous commenter, but your comment was spot on and reminds me that I have actually rented apartments with "magnolia" in the name that looked nice from 500' away, but were poorly build and poorly managed shitholes.

I think most Atari 2600 games fell into this trap, not just because they tended to have some of the most awesome covers and lacking tech, but some were just awful ports or phoned in licensed games.

I don't have many specifically coming to mind, but the Raiders of the Lost Ark game had a really cool cover (still does, but also used to), but the game was an impenetrable mess, both visually and from a game play standpoint. It was quite complex though, so maybe there was something interesting beneath the depths that kid me could never figure out.

For all its very real shittiness, you will likely find that Amazon ships faster, has lower prices, has a better selection, and much easier returns than other online shops. This almost entirely the result of their massive monopolistic power. I don't begrudge people that are squeezed for time and money from trying to save either, but Amazon needs to be broken up.

Congrats, you're already a much better screen writer than anyone at Marvel.

My stance is that XMPP and Matrix are only private if you self host and don't federate. That really cuts down on who may want to use them, but it can be great for a small community, company, or family assuming you can get everyone to buy in.

This is the RSS reader I use and like it a lot, but no it does not have an export feature like that.

I don't hate all bots, I hate this bot specifically because:

  • they intentionally hide that they are a bot to evade our, and everyone else's, methods of restricting which bots we allow and how much activity we allow.
  • they do not respect the robots.txt
  • the already mentioned lack of rate limiting
