The initial reports of this made it sound much worse, now it seems so tame this charge borders on ludicrous. I walked about 2 miles to my bus stop as a kid with no side walk and it was ABSOLUTELY unsafe, but we didn't have a choice as the roads were no outlet and too narrow for a bus to get into my neighborhood. I never saw a kid get hit, but I knew of multiple adults that were hit by a car with a few fatalities. I still think this Georgia story sounds dumb, so either we're being deprived of details or the police are being ridiculous.

Its not a drip machine though, it's more like a Chemex that doesn't require you to do the pouring.

The analogy works well since its Debian-like, but way more awesome. The Moccamaster is great. As easy to use as a drip, but makes better coffee than the Chemex.

To be fair, it made slightly more sense in the comics, though still batshit. In the comics there was no noble purpose like they tried to shoehorn in for the MCU. IIRC, Thanos was literally doing it to impressed Death (the cosmic entity) to gain her affection.

I had Shining Force Gaiden for the Game Gear and it was probably my most played game on the system. I wonder how different this version is, not that I'd remember it much at this point.

Anon is absolutely exaggerating for comic effect. That doesn't mean Java doesn't have all of those problems though, it just isn't as ridiculous as they made it out unless you get dragged into enterprise bullshit (then you're in for it).

I avoid keyboards with the rotary knobs since I always use an amp and audio interface, but I get the vibe. All the knobs and dials make me feel like one of those sound mixer guys.

GTA 2 was fantastic, especially multiplayer over LAN on PC. It unseated a lot of our usual FPS or RTS games for a while as the game of choice.

Then again, what do I know, I still think Zelda 2 was awesome.

I've definitely heard some sort of frog/toad make the "ribbit" sound, but I'd say the German "kwaak" is probably more common. The various Asian sounds seem odd to me though. I suppose it is entirely possible the frogs makes different sounds there.

Fine, let's go with BotW was a bad Zelda game and I strongly disliked it. I tried to like it and played all the way through because I was stubborn, but in the end I think it sucked as did my friends (they all quit long before I did). I wish I hadn't bought it or spent time in it.

Also, I disagree that it changed the open world landscape. H:ZD released before BoTW did, did the open world stuff better (IMO), and still doesn't seem like it was radically novel at the time other than the story/setting. The only truly novel thing about BotW was that it was open world in a Zelda game.

Surely this has to be just a silly temporary marketing stunt like when IHOP changed their name to International House of Burgers. I did see some Franks Red Hot flavored goldfish at the store though, and those are clearly not targeting kids.
