  • Bad console ports on PC where mouse control code was recycled from gamepad control code. For example, in Just Cause 2, the maximum turn rate is capped and so is the minimum cursor acceleration, with the end result being when you move the mouse your character moves like you've mushed a gamepad control stick instead of the fast, smooth, PC cursor style movement of the reticle that every other PC FPS manages to pull off.

  • I've never seen one. We've got on-demand water heaters that feed entire homes, but the electric versions are notorious for breaking a lot. The trend is toward heat pump hot water storage tanks that cool the air around them and put that heat into the water tank.

  • Hasn't Dr. Who canonically killed literally everything?

    They've reset the timeline of the entire universe, destroying the previous timeline and everyone in it.

    The Doctor committed omnicide to win the war against the Daleks.

  • If you don't mind waiting a few thousand years, you can cut the delta-v requirements in half by traveling to the edge of the solar system first and then burning retrograde at aphelion.

    Or do like the Parker Solar Probe did and catch multiple gravity assists off Venus.

  • Huh. Apparently the Epsteins have reason to believe that Steve Bannon:

    2. knows what kompromat Russia has generally

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    Please don’t take him just because you can.

    Your beauty is beyond compare
    With flaming locks of auburn hair
    With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

    For years our town’s been terrorized
    By the beast who takes disguise
    In the shell that calls itself Jolene

    Our sleep disturbed by quaking breath
    Eyes closed against the threat of death
    That lies behind the teeth of that Jolene

    The closer that you get to her
    The more those edges seem to blur
    To something that cannot be called Jolene

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    Please don’t take him just because you can.

    He screams about you in his sleep,
    And when he wakes does naught but weep,
    In terror of the one they call, Jolene.

    We cower here beneath your gaze,
    That sets the earth and sky ablaze,
    Have mercy at the end of days, Jolene.

    Before her wrath no foe could stand,
    Their corpses piled upon the sand,
    The blood of gods are on her hands; Jolene.

    Her hunger barely satisfied,
    She feasted on the ones who died,
    She slumbers now in starless skies; Jolene.

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you, please don’t disturb her sleep.
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    We’re safe while she still slumbers in the deep.

    Your teeth are sharp, your mouth agape
    Your claws rend flesh, there’s no escape
    From judgement of the Eldritch One, Jolene

    Blackening the summer skies,
    With burning wings and countless eyes,
    We tremble at the thought of you, Jolene.

    Bliss withered from this awful truth,
    Gone is the ignorance of youth,
    The unrelenting mark of that Jolene.

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man.
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    Please don’t take him just because you can.

    The foolish who came to defend,
    Their broken minds will never mend,
    They fell at the mere sight of you, Jolene.

    But I’ve seen beyond that auburn hair
    My eyes have met your vacant stare
    And I’ve been told I’m hard to scare, Jolene

    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
    Jolene, Jolene , Jolene, Jolene;
    I’ll end this story just how it began
    I’ll take your teeth if you try to take my man

  • Dungeons and Dragons 5e is less fun than 3.5e IMO.

    There was more of a sense of character progression, and ability differentiation in 3.5e.

    5e achieves balance by flattening the power curve.

    For example, the attack bonus for a level 20 Fighter in 5e is just 4 points higher than it was at level 1 - same as a 5e Wizard. Both get +2 at lvl 1 and +6 at lvl 20

    In 3.5e, a level 20 fighter's attack bonus is 19 points higher than it was at level 1 (+1 to +20), but a wizard only gains half that much fighting prowess as they level up (+0 to +10).

    All 5e characters are pretty much the same statistically & mechanically. Differentiation comes from role play, which is the least interesting part of the game for me.
