The letter by letter search is the most baffling design.

What's more baffling is that they use it in all their interfaces. It's easily the worst part of Playstation Vue, a product that has no shortage of baffling design decisions.

Does anyone have the quotes about horses being insanely stupid and taking any excuse to kill themselves, whether it being from scaring themselves to death or seeing their own reflection and just dropping dead

Requested so often it's the second post in the funny quote thread. Unfortunately that person left out the non-Ruddha interjection about how horses are so dumb that if you ride them for laps around a track they will get spooked by the exact same thing every time.

I mean it could be because two things can suck at the same time. Sony's increasingly baffling, barely working store is bad, as is Nintendo's. Sony's is more aggravating because on PS3 it was bad then they got it to a place where it was fine then they broke it they just keep making it worse while the Nintendo store's have always felt anemic and hard to navigate in the same ways.

Nintendo's store ain't great, but it's nowhere near as bad as Sony's. I haven't ever had a problem finding something I want either on the 3DS or Wii U eshops, the only real problem is that it's annoyingly slow.
If I think about it though, I can't think of a game storefront I actually like. I guess Steam and the Xbox 360 Marketplace were the least bad, but I hesitate to call them good.

Yeah, it must be hard to design, because the part of the whole experience in which I exchange money always seems like it has the most hurdles and the worst UI. I'd rather look for an individual alchemy ingredient in my endgame Witcher 3 file.

Finally Racist Mario's reign of terror will come to an end:

quote:

We’ve heard loud and clear from the creator community and from advertisers that YouTube needs to broaden our advertiser-friendly guidelines around a few additional types of content. We’ve responded by adding new guidelines to take a tougher stance on:

-Inappropriate use of family entertainment characters: Content that depicts family entertainment characters engaged in violent, sexual, vile, or otherwise inappropriate behavior, even if done for comedic or satirical purposes.

Or I guess this is more about those "Elsa and Spider-Man make a baby while Goofy with a gigantic rear end watches" videos that kids just marathon on YouTube now a days.

I'm interested in seeing how the kids of today, or rather the literal babies too young for preschool who are growing up watching these videos all day are gonna look back on this era when they get older. Like they'll start getting interested in previous Mickey Mouse cartoons and can't seem to find the ones from when they were infants. The ones where Mickey is married to Minnie and their child is kidnapped by a Joker Mickey Mouse who attempts to stick a needle in the baby but gets killed instead. Or the one where the baby gets his head caught in an elevator.

It greatly increases your available storage for materials and development points or whatever they're called, and some extremely late-game equipment costs more than you can actually even store with an offline-only save. Which is ridiculous and stupid but it doesn't matter in the slightest so feel free to ignore it.

Also if you play the games now you are going to have zero clue what the gently caress he's talking about, because Gex games are specific to the day and date of their release.

If you were alive when the game came out this is thankfully not true as most people have a longer memory than that of a goldfish.

edit: This of course still does not imply it would be funny
