They've always sucked at making games. They weren't always successful, though. Skyrim is the goose that laid the golden egg, and they'll be hard-pressed to repeat that success.

The classic square peg in a round hole problem.

At press time, a contingent of church goers was forming outside the Vatican to protest the new flavor, claiming that, if anything, Jesus was lemon-lime.

Almost had me thinking this was something real.

Shouldn't that magat be wearing a heavily-stained tank top?

In the next panel, the guy fires back: "Get back to the kitchen, cuz! Or me and the boys are gonna round up the dogs and take you huntin!"

Of course, it could all be another elaborate pump-and-dump scheme by Elon. It wouldn't put it past him.

Only $20? Wow. What a bargain! You'll soon be able to almost buy a gallon of gas for that.

This is a really fun read.

To answer your question about what I like to do other than making video games, the answer I often give is that all the stuff that went into solo dev — music, art, writing — those are all my hobbies. And so being able to combine them all into my work is really satisfying. I get to do all my hobbies in my work.

Good old right wing "humor" (punching down on everyone else because they consider everyone else beneath them). We're all going to be seeing a lot of this type of "humor" (lynchings, book burning, singing about how wonderful being dictated to is) in the next 10 years or so.

All these updates! This is good stuff.

Pro tip: If your outcome isn't achieved, do not riot on the steps of the Capitol.

 

I just have to say, after having booted into Windows, that Linux is so much nicer than Windows when it comes to doing system "updates."

So, here I am, sitting in my chair for about 20 minutes looking at a mostly black screen and a highly dubious looking percentage number going up very slowly. It tells me that Windows is "updating" and that I should keep the computer turned on. Good thing I have the computer turned on or I wouldn't know that I shouldn't have it turned off, right?

Anyway, I start to think about how this experience goes in Linux. In my experience, I do "system" updates about once a month, and I can see each individual package being installed (if I glance away from my browser session, that is). In Windows, I have no choice but to sit here and wonder if the system will even work again.

Windows decides that it wants to update drivers, apparently (I honestly have no idea what it's doing, which is part of what pisses me off), because it reboots the computer. Then it reboots again. Then, eventually, everything goes back to the familiar Windows desktop. WTF?

How anyone could prefer Windows to Linux is truly a mystery to me.
