Hey now, you're a wok star, get your flame on, sauté.

Thankfully, lunchtime is pretty well enforced by law in Australia... didn't prevent the "reasonable overtime is included in your base salary" contract clause, where "reasonable" is defined by the publisher, though.

When I worked for a big game studio, we had a clan, as did many of the other big studios in the country. Every lunch we'd join the same servers. Battlefield, TF2, StarCraft... good times. Well, good lunch times.

What they did in Tokyo? Drop 1600 tons of incendiary bombs, killing 100,000 civilians, destroying half the city, making a million people homeless? I'm pretty sure Israel is already emulating this strategy.

As someone who travels a lot and has used all these sockets regularly, my vote is for Type G. The European ones seem like they would be the winner, but I've had trouble unplugging some devices. The recessed hole means some shitty cable designs don't have enough to grab on to to yank out. I can imagine some people with dexterity issues having a lot of problems.

Nope, the ground is a separate wire that just dangles there and never gets connected. Over the last 25 years I don't think I've ever seen a utilised ground wire.

No no, I'm pretty sure that's a Bienenstich.

I'm a gold candidate male, but even if I pass QA, I'll probably still need a day 1 patch.

More troubling to me is how many romance movies have our protagonist stalk their love interest, who has already explicitly rejected them... and it works, because their obsession is framed as "love at first sight" and "not giving up on love".

Oh, and the other common trope, non-consensual voyeurism... and it works, because the woman is 'flattered' that the guy finds her attractive.

...How good is the "pop culture detective" YouTube channel?

I think the battle sprites look amazing, but in the field, the details on the models get squished into too few pixels, and it's a jarring juxtaposition against the beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds. I can remember some reviewers sharing my opinion at the time, but you might be right that calling it ugly is a bit much.

Original VII is great how it is. I was happy to have an alternate telling for the remakes.

Unlike VII, VIII has always been ugly and needs a graphical upgrade to match their over ambitious models for the hardware. Also needs a combat overhaul so it's not so super easy, and draw is not so tedious.

Tactics original is pretty, but could use some QoL updates.

We've been living out of backpacks on the road for the last ten years, so it's easy to keep track of your stuff... Only item in our bags that hasn't changed is a zip-up flannel towel. It's perfect for keeping your toiletries in order, light-weight and washable, doubles as a flannel on the rare occasions you need such a thing, and has Hello Kitty on it.

Since the bags themselves have been replaced, it's the clear winner. 2nd place is a Tony the Tiger colour-changing spoon from a bag of Frosties in 2016.
