It was a bummer when console ports showed up and there was no accessibility affordance possible. That post-launch time was probably the correct time to do it, oh well.

We didnât even offer a slider because so much in-camera animation was busted, but we posted a support article pointing to an editable ini or registry key. If we did it again I would have pushed for a slider + warning that youâre basically breaking the game, but glad we cracked the door open at all.

Mario Kart 8 ended up being a decade long content mine for them. Wonder if they see all that open space as future real estate?

Someone just drove by in an old car barely holding it together and yelled âAll this for a game????â We have never been so back in a world where it has never been so over.

They could probably also do the noise in their app! Apparently a bunch of services do grain as a metadata-driven post effect for this reason.

The âThis is embarrassing?!â realization about the diaper baby picture was really good. Good episode.

I remember being so happy as a Mac user that a bunch of the LucasArts holes were going to be filled. Most notably it promised that finally I could play Curse on my own computer.

Iâd hope thatâs true. The OS featureset as it stands right now implies a world where âuser safetyâ is a cord wrapped around so many other ostensibly powerful features that they strangle each other and nobody can really tell what the reason is for features not hitting as they should.

I think theyâd have to allow quick access to turning off a lot of shit in the OS that theyâre heavily invested in not letting people quickly turn off, but yeah their hardware now packs such a punch for the size/temp/power draw.

What is the recommended (if freaky) path for a Mac mini in this context? I was running Plex off a recent mini for a while and it was a pretty awful experience of the OS really not enjoying what was happening on its watch, in terms of local I/O. Not sure if thatâs just a Plex thing though.

Lincoln High School in Seattle was like this for decades. They recently renovated and reopened it, itâs very nice inside.

He actually might not go rogue in that one, which is kinda messed up. I bet he does and I forgot.

We got a huge screen at the office and decided to break it in by watching the whole M:I series over the past few weeks so, at least until I forget it all again, I am currently a good guy to ask. They do run together.

The previous movie was plot-crazy and this one ties to it but again, it doesnât really matter. Itâs all connective tissue between the big crazy bits. (I think 5 and 6 do the best at keeping the pace up across the whole movie in a way the recent ones drown under a bit but anyway as you were saying
comment in response to

I canât resist answering at least a little bit. There is very little meaningful connective tissue over the years but the fun bits are the setpieces, which arenât meaningfully recapped. 5 and 6 (rogue nation and fallout) are the best of the modern ones imo and are lightly a two-parter.

A Taco Bell that is somehow an architectural statement, a place where you could be served a Mexican Pizza barefoot from the takeout window, and yes, a place where maybe a body could disappear under the back deck and not be found for a generation.

SFMOMA had an exhibit on Sea Ranch a few years ago and I really wanted to quietly add a photo of the Pacifica Taco Bell

I think happiness derived from other people is multiplicative not additive. Eg you need to bring a positive number to the equation, and if youâre both there with real numbers it can go crazy, but if youâre coming in with less than one and expect the other person to boost you, bad news.

Been rewatching them all with some friends. The whiplash from 1-2-3 is so wild because 2 is just sooo out there in its own zone. A little kiss of the M:I-2 vibe shows up in the final confrontation in 6 and it's such a welcome little surprise though.
