I was referring to the weird American egg rolls involving a spoon and flat ground.

Yeah, my parents always hid eggs around the yard for us to find, and we frequently did a second one at my grandma's. It's only the egg rolls that are unusual.

Xenoblade Chronicles X. Showed up super cheap ($22) used on Amazon in "Very Good" condition, so I pounced. There's a decent chance I'll actually be able to turn a profit when I resell it after playing it. I'm not gonna need any new games for awhile...

Apparently Nintendo has sold more copies of Zelda on Switch in the US than they have sold Switches...

Watch Dogs 2 Gold Edition. It's 50% off on Uplay right now, bringing it down to $50, which I figure is probably less than the GOTY will cost next year anyway, and I get all the DLC with it.

I just assumed by "easter eggs" they meant what we would mean, which is a broad term encompassing both the plastic candy-filled ones and the hard-boiled painted ones.

It would have to be gated in addition to being timed, otherwise speedrunners would figure out how to beat the whole game within the time limit.

Ha! For once we get a movie before you!

Supposedly one passenger offered to switch flights for $1600, and the manager laughed at him. Minor point of clarification: they can involuntarily bump you, and if they are able to get you to your destination within one hour of your originally scheduled arrival then they don't have to compensate you; within 2 hours and they have to pay you twice the cost of the ticket, up to a max of $675; more than two hours and they have to pay you 4 times the cost of the ticket, up to a max of $1350. They are also required to give you a pamphlet explaining these requirements when they bump you. So the maximum isn't just the cost of the ticket, but I agree with the general point that there shouldn't be a max at all, they should have to keep offering more money until somebody takes it. And regardless of legal requirements, doing so would have saved them a massive PR shitstorm that is likely costing them more than $1600.

Who said anything about DLC? I'm saying I wish that was included as part of the base game.

No, but they could have done like Skyward Sword and made the enemies tougher/Link take more damage.

Yeah, the United thing is horrible, and comes hot on the heels of their last PR disaster with the girls in leggings (one of whom was 10) getting denied boarding because they weren't "appropriately dressed." The Trump thing explains why he insists his daily briefings be kept to no more than a page, and strongly prefers they be delivered orally.

I think that quote is essentially the same as what Thursday said: just saying it's unfortunate implications, not actually saying they did it maliciously. And anyway, talking about how Japanese people from Japan feel about it is completely missing the point. I can't find it now but I saw a really good post on the topic from a 2nd generation Japanese-American woman talking about how in Japan they're surrounded by media portraying Japanese people as heroes, and just including them in general, so one movie making them white doesn't matter, but in America that isn't the case at all. And since it's an American movie, that is rightly the context in which it is being judged.

Green Man Gaming is having a huge Easter sale right now. There's lots of stuff on it, but I particularly wanted to mention they have the full Hitman season for $25, or the Upgrade Pack for $21. That's the best price I've seen since Gamestop's Christmas sale, and nowhere else has ever been even close to that one.

I don't think Thursday meant that they were intentionally trying to say "they're better cause they're white," just that that is an unfortunate implication that arises when "making them better" also makes them white. So yes, Hanlon's razor, they probably didn't even think of it, but really they should be trying to be more cognizant of this stuff.

Put the spoiler-tastic character in spoiler tags when you answer dean's question, cause I haven't been spoiled yet.

Zelda isn't story-oriented per-se though. The story is really thin on the ground. 99% of what you're doing is "side stuff". And in a weird way I feel like making me go back to before I beat the final boss to continue playing diminishes it, because to me then it feels like that never really happened, because in the world it hasn't happened. That said, the save-right-before-the-boss method that they used is good enough for practical purposes. Really I just wanted a NG+ and/or Master Quest.

Yeah, my only real disappointment with that game is the lack of post-game play, and the lack of a NG+ or Master Quest. Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk

It's also blank for me.

Now when looking at status updates clicking "Show previous comments" brings up an "Are you sure?" box, and when you click OK the link to show previous comments goes away but the previous comments are not shown. I know you've got a lot on your plate, and this will be low priority, but just wanted to get it on your list.

I was looking really closely at comparison shots, and I think the main thing they did with the eyes is now they receive shadows from the eyelids. That goes a huge way in making them look like they're actually part of the face rather than painted on. Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk

You always want "full pixel" or "full" or the equivalent on anything with good signal (like from a game console). Anything else (such as normal, 16:9, zoom, etc) typically cuts off a bit around the edges. It's a left over from back in the day when analog TV signals actually had pixels that weren't part of the picture, so you wanted the outer edges cut off so the picture would actually fill the whole screen. With most digital content that's not an issue, and "full" or "full pixel" are the only way to make the TV actually display every pixel that's being sent to it. Most games know that TVs do that by default, so they move the UI and stuff a little bit in from the edges so that stuff doesn't get cut off, but it's possible Japanese games do it less, or that your TV cuts off more than most. If you leave it on full pixel you should notice that you can now see more at the edges of everything, which means you're seeing it how it's supposed to be now.
