I'm gonna miss the old design. The new one looks like someone smashed it with a looney tunes hammer.

I'm sure the patent made sense at the time, but it seems pretty generic now. Additionally, shouldn't the patent have expired at this point? Why is it still being enforced?

I feel like this should unironically be a war crime. The potential for collateral is ridiculously high.

Edit: I'm amazed at how successfully this is being spun as a highly-targeted, high-precision attack with no collateral when it's pretty much the opposite. You can't control what they do with the pagers after they get them. Ffs there were kids killed.

TNG, Voyager and DS9 get a tie for first. Haven't really seen any of the nu-Trek except for some Discovery and Lower Decks. Something about them just didn't jive for me. Picard was Picard getting bullied. TOS can be fun, but not enough for me to sit and intentionally watch it. I should watch TAS though. It looks bad in a good way.

Edit: I take that back, Orville gets #1, TNG, Voyager and DS9 tie for #2.

Extroverts don't seem to understand that not showing interest in their sexual lives doesn't mean disrespect, but simply that I don't care about it.

I was on the fence until this. This is extremely unprofessional and, if I understand correctly, could even get the company sued. Here's how I'd personally handle it; but take this with a grain of salt because I've never actually had to deal with something like this before:

First, talk to a lawyer. Tell them what's going on an get their thoughts and suggestions. The suggestions following may be way off-base.

Then, start keeping track of every time she brings something like that up, and log how you responded, how it made you feel, how she reacted to you response. You're collecting evidence for a lawsuit on the basis of a toxic and highly unprofessional work environment that'll hopefully never actually happen.

Once you have enough info that you could potentially launch said lawsuit, double-check with your lawyer and then you go to HR.

YOUR LAWYER WILL LIKELY TELL YOU THIS: DO NOT THREATEN A LAWSUIT. DO NOT EVEN HINT AT A LAWSUIT. DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT A LAWSUIT, PERIOD. IF YOU MAKE ANY MENTION OF LEGAL ACTION THEN YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR CHANCES OF HAVING A POSITIVE OUTCOME FROM THIS MEETING. THEY ARE ALMOST GUARANTEED TO FIRE YOU AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LAWYER UP. THEY MAY EVEN ATTEMPT TO DESTROY EVIDENCE IF THEY THINK IT'S PREFERABLE TO A SUCCESSFUL LAWSUIT.

Make sure you log your interaction with HR as well; what you discussed, if you felt your concerns were heard during the meeting, and then make a follow-up log a week or two later to note if there was any change as a result of your meeting.

If there was no change, talk to your lawyer and consider trying again (and log everything again), and again, do not threaten, mention or even hint at any kind of legal action whatsoever. You're trying to give the company ample chance to respond to your concerns.

If there was still no change, go talk to your lawyer about the possibility of pursuing legal action. It could be legitimately worth it, especially if they decide to fire you after your first or second meeting with HR.

Your goal is to have a paper trail so long and thorough that you can hang them with it (figuratively, in court) if necessary.

OH SHIT LARSON IS CARTOONING AGAIN!?

Edit: misunderstood the post title, I thought it was saying the strip was published today. That said, apparently he has indeed been cartooning again.

There are still companies that make physical copies, but typically it's in limited quantities and sadly I've found that most of them (especially one of the big ones, LRG) can be pretty scummy. I think the only two I've found that are worth buying stuff from are iam8bit and fangamer.

Meh, give it another 10yrs and Wii games will be selling at the original prices. Rip game/vintage computer collecting. You were a fun and inexpensive hobby until the rich assholes got to it.

I was curious enough that I looked into it a bit and it sounds like the difference is negligible at this point because they added keyboard binds for partial presses in response to analog keyboards(?). Again, I haven't played TM2 or anything after, last game I played was TMUF/TMNF, so I haven't tried using them myself, however when I was looking to see what the kb/controller/wheel split was I found a lot of people saying that there isn't a strong reason to use one over the other anymore due to the new binds.

Edit: it actually makes me kinda happy to talk about this. I loved the games as a teenager, but they were too niche and I never had anyone to talk to about them.

Edit 2: damn, I remember finding the OG game at Fry's and thinking it looked like the coolest game ever and getting confused when no one else thought it was sick as fuck (everyone was into Halo and CoD, and tbf, I was into them too; but I had patrician tastes that spanned multiple genres, not like the casuals I grew up around u.u)

Oooooohhh... So thaaaaat's what Bush meant. They just had a bunch of machine guns and they had to get rid of them.

(Seriously? "WMD" should be reserved for chemical, gas, biological or nuclear destructive devices.)

I think you're in the wrong community my dude.

We don't know what we're doing, we hate each other, we can't agree on anything, and we love killing one another. I think if they try to divide us any further we'll just end up wrapping back around.
