Why can't these goobers use rakes like a normal person?

Leaf blowers are useful for getting dead leaves and other debris out from under foliage that would be easily damaged by a rake, or where a rake wouldn't fit. Although most people don't use them exclusively for that purpose.

In my neighborhood we would rake/blow/tarp all our leaves to the curb and a big ol' vacuum truck would come by and suck em up to mulch them. It was rad as hell to watch as a youngster.

A single leafblower is garbage- they work best in duos or with a rake buddy. If you're working alone, a rake is better.

Dying Light had some really great gameplay. The running/parkour was superb, and by the end, killing zombies was a lot of fun.

Dying Light also had some just really, really bad writing. Just awful. So this does not bode well.

Didn't Jeff Gerstmann from Giant Bomb talk about how Uno online (I think it was on Xbox?) was just this den of sin? I think something with webcams?

Just looked it up, and yeah, people were sending dick pics via Uno for Xbox 360.

You're going to be really mad if you look up blight laws. If a property is blighted, the municipality can legally take it. Nominally, it's a way to do something about abandoned and dangerous properties. It's been twisted to the point that unmowed lawns are grounds for seizure of the property.

I wish game developers would learn that a game should be big enough to adequately showcase their gameplay, and no more, instead of colossal, empty and repetitive.

If I get to the end and am desperate for more, I can play it again. Or buy your DLC or sequels. If I'm exhausted by the size of the game, I'll think less of it and I'll certainly not buy any more.

I finished the single player campaign of Halo Infinite and went "that ruled can I get some more" and you can just keep tootling around in the overworld, finishing off the bases you didn't capture as you were going along. It's great.

The propaganda towers get more and more disconsolate as you kill more of their dudes.

Halo infinite campaign; whoever wrote the barks for the enemies did a phenomenal job. Couple of times I've had to pause the game to finish laughing, or been killed while laughing and then laughed even harder at "I hope the human afterlife sucks!"

It blows my mind people are still pulling "I have a black friend" as if they don't know as well as anyone that this excuse never amounts to anything. It's used so widely and mockingly in the most popular media surely they must know this by now. Is it just a case of "oh, well I actually do so..." or not believing they could ever be that person?

If it helps, I just read that the Renaissance Men are coming into town.

even if not, you could make the edges match the background color so it would at least look like one on either light or dark mode. not both, but you'd get a decent amount of people with it

There’s plenty of Kickstarter projects that crashed and burned after funding, so I don’t know why you would pick a successful campaign that delivered a well-received game as people not getting anything out of it

Their whole argument is that since the project was successful, the people who backed it on KS should get a cut of the sales or something. Basically, they want KS to be an investment platform with long-term ROI.

Such platforms do exist, but KS is explicitly not one of them.

:eng101: The JPEG isn't the token! The token is just the chunk of JSON containing the URL to the JPEG. There is absolutely no mechanism to prevent (a) the content at the URL changing or disappearing or (b) someone copying the content at the URL and minting a new NFT that points at the copy.

Normally I would assume that there is at least some mechanism to prevent minting of multiple NTFs pointing to the same URL but everything about this is so profoundly, expansively idiotic that I don't think that's a safe assumption to make.
