Same thing happens with social security numbers!

Check it out, it just shows up as asterisks when I type it.

It’s like Max Payne 1, only better in every conceivable way. It’s the perfect sequel.

Edit: I envy you getting to experience it for the first time!

Max Payne 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. It’s the only game I ever finished, then beat 2-3 more times in succession on increasing difficulties just to get a different ending.

Yes. The writing is on the wall, I think. Between Valve and Microsoft, I think the line between console and PC is about to blur, hard.

Valve starts selling a new generation of Steam Machines, Microsoft develops a handheld and pivots the Xbox brand to be a PC gaming label standardized to a handheld and set-top form factor, and suddenly Sony and Nintendo are swimming in a much smaller ocean. The PlayStation 6 not being PC-compatible suddenly makes it “a weird non-PC” instead of a category leader, and the Switch 2 by all accounts just becomes an echo of the previous generation, treading water on Nintendo franchises.

I’m basically Pavlov-conditioned to upvote the word “Miez” now. They could just post a text post with only the words “Miez cat good” and I’d upvote it instantly.

The only reason I never bought into Boox is their flagrant violation of GPL.

As another owner of the Kobo Libra Colour, I can recommend it for its excellent ergonomics and UI. Plus as a bonus, it has pen support!

Ugh. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Alternative perspective: Buy the most intrusive, ad-subsidized set you can find and disconnect/block it so you get all of the benefit and none of the privacy invasion?

Midnight Suns is perfect for you. It’s part team tactical deck building combat, part superhero relationship simulator. You alternate between fighting evil as part of a squad of heroes (the DLC includes Deadpool) and spending time hanging out and talking with other heroes. And it’s just a phenomenal game all around.

Edit: OP, you okay?

Original is awesome. I feel like the remaster basically just turned it yellow and deleted the fog and called it a day.

I feel like we’re only a year or two away from announcing a game and its remaster at the same time.

I prefer my space vampires Mathilda May-shaped.

Sorry for sucking!

they are turned on

Ooh, violate my privacy, daddy.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks!

But I’m just asking, naively, is 10% a “buyout” by any reasonable definition of the term? I thought that was just a “stake”. I thought a “buyout” meant buying all of someone’s stake.

We have examined our behavior thoroughly and come to the conclusion that we have done nothing wrong.

Corollary: we never do anything wrong

Second corollary: we are incapable of doing anything wrong

Third corollary: Leo, you got any more of them luxury vacations?

I’m not a finance person, but selling equity capped at 10% isn’t a “buyout”, is it?
