The description in the post mentions that they canceled it.

This is the judge who ruled that Google has a monopoly and abused it. If Google is paying them, they didn't pay enough.

Since I got covid last year, I haven't been able to drink any brand of cola. It has a weird gross flavor that I guess could be described as being bitter. I would never have described it as bitter before and I think most people wouldn't either.

Of each set of 3, you can only have one marked as most wanted and one marked as least wanted. You will leave one statement blank.

Reviews aren't just for people who've seen all the previous movies. A perspective from someone who hasn't seen the previous ones can be useful for other people who haven't seen the previous ones. We can't limit reviews to just people who are fans.

That's not to say this is a good review.

I agree with you, but using Final Fantasy XIV is a weak example. Steam is one of the smallest platforms it's on, with most PC players using the non-steam launcher.

As an MMO, it also has the benefit of players being able to see a ton of other people when they log in and the fan base talks about it enough that you never get that "whatever happened to that game" feeling.

Honestly, I think it's that last thing that drives most of the dead game talk. Some games come out with tons of hype and then you stop hearing about it as much. Instead of looking up what's going on, people just assume it flopped and no one plays anymore. Or it's a game they wish had failed and by saying dead game they are trying to will that belief into existence, depends on the context.

It's just nearly $600. Practically free.

I'm fairly certain it's attempts now that I've looked at it again. It's been a long time since I've read breakdowns of the studies and what the numbers all mean. It wasn't as simple as 41% of trans people attempt suicide. The numbers went down post transition and I don't think suicide attempts had to be serious attempts to be counted (I think it's worth nitpicking this).

Edit: Tried finding the survey the number comes from and got a bunch of different responses that are just confusing me more at this point. I'm probably done here, since researching suicide statistics isn't a ton of fun.

It's also not the suicide rate. It's either the has attempted suicide at least once in their life rate or the thought about it rate. Can't quite remember which, but definitely not the suicide rate.

The bundles mentioned here are the Arena cosmetic bundles, not the bundle boxes.

It did have multiplayer. You could fight your friends if you used a Game Link.

I have a hard time imagining anyone thought that a game for a handheld console that didn't have an internet connection would use the internet.

Mega Man was a physical robot in the original games. In Battle Network, he was now an AI in a computer and you sent him to do battle with enemy AI and viruses on networks in the game.
