Scrolling through darkpatterns.org, I have to say the most infuriating one for me is the one under “Misdirection”. I get a ton of spam email and attempt to unsubscribe from all of it, and often the link to do that is kept as unreadable as possible underneath text that appears to be the hyperlink you want. When you do find the right page, it’s worded as confusingly as possible to try and get you to click on the wrong option. This, as well as making skipping a “protection plan” on ordering electronics, absolutely drives me up the wall.
Great editing, particularly with the Tamchurian Candidate.
It’s been 21 years since I played this game and somehow “Flauros” is my most distinct memory outside of the first hour. That and the hammer, which Jan is right to embrace.
Thanks for answering my question! I couldn’t stick around thanks to a meeting, so if Mike answered in chat I would love to know about a Planet Coaster 2.
Grubb is 100% correct about Colorado winters. I lived in the mid-Atlantic all my life before moving here and winters are not comparable between the two regions. There’s an enormous difference between standing in the sun and shade. I’ve shoveled snow in 0 degree (F) weather and felt hot enough to unzip my jacket because the sun was shining on me.
While no more physical office (in the near future at least) is a bummer, it’s pretty insane that this site had studios in two of the most expensive real estate markets in the US for as long as it did. And office renovations have gotten way more expensive in the last year or so (with the forecast continuing to climb), so downscaling is really the only sensible option. Yet another thing the pandemic has taken away from us, I guess.
As for Wordle, I’ve been using the PENIS Method for as long as I’ve played (just this week), and it has yet to steer me wrong.
EDIT: I scored 6/12 on the quiz at the end of the episode
I'm sorry I laughed at your apology, Bryan. To be fair, you can't include one of the best side-splitting comedies of all time like Spider-Man 3 and expect me not to crack a smile.
I've gone from thinking it's funny that a bunch of people can't at least recognize a bit when they see one to being worried about it after reading these comments.
According to the Xbox app, I put in 91 hours of MLB The Show 21 this year, easily the longest I put into any one game. While it won’t end up making my top 10, I agree 100% with your assessment about it being a perfect game to chill and experience other forms of media while you play. I got really frustrated with some of the rubber banding because I wasn’t really looking for challenges, I just wanted my stupid jerk Orioles to win a World Series for a change. However, it’s easily my favorite sports game since that Madden where Michael Vick was stupidly broken.
