  1. Latines sounds WAY better in Spanish and spoken language overall. I can't help but think it would be horribly butchered by anyone that doesn't speak a Latin language. So much so that Latinx might be preferable. Like I'd want to hit someone that pronounced it Latīnes, because English is dumb that way.
  2. There are two pools of my family. My grandmother pool that like "Que diablo es Latinx. That's not Spanish." Neither is clóset, but that's never stopped anyone in our family. The other is "Yeah, I guess LGBTQ people like it better. Whatever." I've never met anyone that actually had a real opinion on the matter other than right-wing douches. Those right-wing douches could totally be Latinx as well. There are plenty of them. Also, me referring to them as Latinx just triggered the whole lot of them.
  3. The N64 and Genesis games aren't worth $30/year. Switch Online is fine for $20/yr compared PSN+ and Xbox Live. The only thing that makes the bundle worthwhile is the Animal Crossing DLC. It'll stop being worthwhile if they don't give away more DLC or anything else new and valued at ~$25. New is the keyword there because old free games included with a subscription aren't worth much when Epic is giving away old free games in exchange for your email address.
  4. This one does look good, but I'm also right there with you. Batman's entire ensemble feels so huge, but the movies barely scratch the surface thanks to the constant reboots. As a result, the whole Batman movie world feels so tiny. Who cares if they have to recast the character. I'm sure audiences can keep up.
  5. At least Nintendo has said that anything you unlock from the DLC on your main island will still be available to you if you actually do remember to unsubscribe. Apparently, it's just access to the archipelago that you lose without the DLC.
  6. A lot of going back and forth, but Nintendo Online is still only $20/yr. Nothing in the expansion has anything to do with their online offerings. It's literally just $30/yr for N64 and Genesis games along with the Animal Crossing DLC. I'm more curious to know if there's any more DLC that Nintendo is planning to including in the office for the expansion. Right now, it's only worth it for me because of the included DLC. I already pay for the family plan for mine, my wife's, and son's Switches. We were already going to spend $50 on Animal Crossing DLC, so spending an extra $10 to get my son N64 games is worth it to me. Now, if Nintendo does release more interesting DLC content free on the expansion within the next year then I'll be fine with paying for another year.
  7. Asking the important questions. Yes. It's also really like a booster to bump those breakthrough infections. Yay that I'm not likely to be hospitalized, but I'd still love to not be in bed.
  8. I was an hour away at work when my wife unexpectedly went into labor a couple of weeks early with one of my kids. Nobody closer to her was picking up their phone. She wound up driving herself to the hospital for this very reason.
  9. I know this game can be pretty tough at times, but how can anyone complain about difficulty in a game with Story Mode difficulty where enemies don't fight back?
  10. Hey now, the Animal Crossing DLC being included makes this a little more worth it. I was all ready to drop $25 for that alone
  11. I was just thinking of exactly that after watching the Direct. They've added pretty much everything I would have liked other than being able to build these shops, restaurants, and school on my own Island.
  12. And there's a the game. Finished with 80% in 10 hours. That was a great game and a pretty fun ending. The final boss was really kicking my ass for a while there, but once I got used to his timing it was pretty a breeze. I'm looking forward to where this is going next and, judging from the game's reception, maybe we don't have to wait another fifteen years.
  13. What I don't get is that if it absolutely requires a phone, why even include processing on it at all? Just make it a display with all the 6DoF sensors and leave the phone to doing all the processing. Anyone that can afford a $500 VR headset just to watch movies while there's a $300 VR headset that does that and more will very likely have a phone that can handle that sort of VR content. This thing doesn't even have a built in battery. It looks like you either need to buy a separate battery pack or have it leech power off your phone. This is a wildly confusing device.
  14. How's this for backward, twisted, true crime shit? Netflix has a true crime series called Don't Fuck With Cats about how a bunch of Internet people obsessed with true crime stories both help catch a killer while also causing him to escalate, in part, due to the attention he was getting from those same people.
  15. For me, they asked for my insurance card when I got my first dose, but then refused it when they saw they already had it on file. I got vaccinated at a center run by the hospital nearest home. It's dumb, it's SUPER inefficient, and it causes all kinds of confusion. Here's an example that anyone that's ever been really tight on money will understand. Sometimes, you go so some groceries and you know you have enough for everything in your basket and you just know you have enough cash to add like a frozen pizza, but you still leave it out of pure fear that you'll be short and rejected at the register. That's exactly the feeling uninsured have here. They know in their head that everyone says it's free, but they also know they're asking for insurance info. Maybe free here is free like how an ambulance will totally pick you up, no questions asked, but now you've got some stupid bill in the mail because you dared to pass out at work from a stroke. It doesn't help that all the local Republicans are saying vaccines are enriching big pharma. If it's enriching big pharma then you just know it's got to be on someone's dime and that someone is probably you. I blame all the mess here on Trump and Republicans following his lead, along with Biden for not getting on TV and promising that the vaccine isn't just free for everyone but that nobody will be asked for proof of insurance or will need insurance.
  16. Yeah, complaining about the EMMI is weird. Your first time through a room might very well kill you, but the punishment for death is back outside the room with all your health and ammo intact.
  17. Doesn't help that people get asked for their insurance info when they show up for a shot.
  18. Dread borrows heavily from Super, along other games in the franchise. It all feels very Metroid to me.
  19. Yeah, this is not a competitor for anything currently on the market. Vive Flow is HTC’s newest “all-in-one” VR headset, coming October 15 for $499 ARSTECHNICA.COM An Android phone is required—because it's the controller. There's no way to connect this to a computer for wired or wireless PC gaming and it sounds like the gaming options on the headset, itself, are pretty limited. This really sounds like it's mostly designed for chat and watching movies.
  20. They absolutely did that, but that seemed like a reaction to their first viewer count scamming. As far as I can tell they currently count a view as anyone that watches 3 seconds of video with or without audio, whether it was an auto play or an actual click. This is compared to YouTube where a view is an actual click followed by 30 seconds.
  21. I think I mentioned here before, but I remember how much suspicion I threw at Facebook over their numbers when I started posting clips and live streams for my local church's Facebook page. The numbers made no sense and it was impossible to explain why they were nonsense to church leaders who thought their online presence was growing exponentially. Best I could figure was that Facebook was counting the rendering of the video player window, even if the player was off screen or not even actually playing video as a "view".
