I mean, according to Revelation the faithful spend literally every moment on their knees locked in prayer venerating their god, so…

Maybe not this specific statement, but I think it certainly highlights that everything about the game in general has been kind of a mess.

Are they actually bounty hunters? The trailer made it seem like they were gladiators competing in a blood sport league.

I could never get through the 2nd ostrich riding sequence in the 2nd level as a kid. The rest of the game was fine, though, once I used the level select to skip ahead. Turns out, it was because my eyesight was shit and I couldn’t even see the correct obstacles on screen (I was trying to avoid the branches, but no it was pink hippos and bird nests the whole time, so my timing on the double jumps was always off). Replaying the game a couple years back when Disney re-released it alongside Aladdin, I found it still tricky, but doable.

“Hey! Listen!”

Yeah, I went there.

IIRC back in the day there was a fan theory that Bongo Bongo was a prisoner who became a monster after dying in the Shadow Temple. So the disembodied hands would be a relic of either his torture or execution.

Just cross the equator.

The way I see it, if you’ve bought a game from GOG you’ve already paid, so no one can truthfully say in good faith that subsequently grabbing a cracked version of the Steam release is a lost sale.

You could try getting into a relationship with someone and then spend all your time with the people you actually want to be friends with? You don’t get any special cutscenes, true, but after Lae’zel basically threw herself at me because I helped her get through act 1 without fighting the Githyanki patrol I ended up getting way more points with Shadowheart and Halsin.

Flushing isn’t exactly silent, though? The toilet getting clogged should make a very noticeably different sound.

Just go back to first principles and celebrate the actual solstice.

Nah, those guys were boomers/gen-xers and have probably either all died off or retired from this nonsense. The Taliban in charge now are millennials/zoomers who likely grew up getting told all about the glory days but not the drudgery.

It’s leave, you idiot! Make like a tree and leave! You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

Had to start paying taxes.

I mean, sure. That’s basically how always-online DRM for games works. But the fact is that you do still have the disc with data on it, so generally it’s just a matter of time before someone comes up with a way to bypass or spoof the DRM.

With the obvious caveat that IANAL, I think there’s a distinction to be made between the physical medium that an IP is distributed on, if any, and the IP itself. Like, when you buy a movie on DVD you obviously don’t own the IP. But strictly speaking, you don’t even own that particular copy of the movie as encoded on the disc you bought. But you do own the disc itself, which just happens to have a copy of the movie on it. So while a publisher can always pull their IPs, and make it illegal for people to distribute them, they can’t come and take the discs that you already legally own.

• Chipotle, for union busting
• Walgreens, for attempted corporate inversion
• Chik-fil-a, for general Christofascist asshattery
• Hobby Lobby, for general Christofascist asshattery
• Walmart, for general corporate asshattery

I’ve also been trying to find an Amazon Smile alternative after Amazon killed it earlier this year, but haven’t had any success yet.

Gonna throw in a shout out to AC’s spritual precursor, Prince of Persia. Also can’t go wrong with Rayman or Rabbids.

How is it that Texas gets to define our textbooks again? Cali has more people. Shouldn’t they have the bigger market?

What’s to explain? The Palestinian problem isn’t going to solve itself, y’know. So obviously, the IDF needs to provide a little final assistance.

I only wish this was a joke in exceptionally poor taste on my part, but Bibi flat out admitted that the goal was ethnic cleansing, so here we are…
