I can just see them responding to the EU like, “Yeah, we’ll allow other people to build app stores for iOS. They just need a dev account that we won’t approve. That’s not us specifically blocking alternate app stores though.”

Yeah but Kellogg suggested circumcision as a punishment for when you were caught masturbating. Plus the recovery time would keep you from offending again in the short term.

Wait until you hear that Disney’s Frozen was only created so that searching for “Disney Frozen” would result in the movie intead of Walt Disney’s frozen head.

Or this ASL of Rap God

I used to call these sort of games “Bird-chirpers”

Cause you’d start playing and then it would suddenly be morning, and birds would be chirping.

Apple also intentionally made the green bubble contrast worse so that iPhone users would have eyestrain when conversing with non-iPhone users.

So this is 7 Days to Die then?

Time to make OpenASci?

Only to find that PETA has already stolen the dog and euthanized it, “To end its suffering.”

Can I have… some sugar… water?

I’d have to say American Exceptionalism at its finest when it comes to sports is the World Series.

Lol, that was on purpose.

My oldest child was almost born on 4/20, but he decided to cook a little longer.

My wife was so relieved, lol.

I have a GM vehicle I like. I already don’t pay them for OnStar. I’m certainly not going to pay them to replace my phone. And then likely have to pay for cellular access for my car.

Years ago I got the (then) admin account password at work because one of the LAN admins typed with two pointer fingers and I just watched.

These days, roguelite tends to mean “A procedural game where you initiate a run that has a start and an end, but then has meta currencies of some kind that you spend in-between runs that affect future runs.”

So in Against the Storm you start a run, and you’re in a fresh environment that depends upon where in the overworld map you chose to start. This portion of the game play is a city builder like Banished or Timberborn or whatnot. You follow the game loop to instruct units to gather raw resources. Spend those construct buildings and allocate units to generate other resources within those buildings. Deal with events that come up. Have a goal that signifies completion of the run, and a hurry up clock of some kind that forces you to get to an end, and then either succeed or fail. Based on how you did, you have meta currency awarded that you can use to purchase unlocks that can allow for new gameplay options or make you stronger so as to be able to play on a higher difficulty, which results in higher meta currency awards.

Spore had itself a 3 or 5 installs limit before not allowing you to install it anymore.

Disgusting :p

That sounds like when my wife set out some no-kill mice traps, but then never inspected them.

During the middle of summer.

When it hit 115 F.

She agreed that kill traps would be more humane going forward.

Are you sure? I thought microtransactions were the core component of successful games these days.
