Since yoko ultrawide just means you have to turn your head to see the HUD, and most 3D games just do a fisheye effect without really letting you see more.

Nice work! If it's not spoken for, I'm interested.

Hardware down, software up? Bad for Switch 2 & Steam Machine, good for PS5.

I don’t see how prices stabilize without either AI collapsing or new fabs coming online.

This! I discovered these because my company gave out branded Independent Trading Co hoodie (for The Crown, the Netflix show) and it became my favorite hoodie. Warmest hoodies I've ever owned.

1 dementia test means diagnosis

3 dementia tests means monitoring decline

Hey Josh, I've been an LRG customer since Breach & Clear. You've had a solid stint with lots to celebrate. Good luck in all that comes next!

Same. @kyleor.land I didn't see every post as it came, but I'm impressed you stuck to it!

Static Field is OP. When I played with friends, Frozen Orb choked my buddy's ancient PC. There were no respecs back then, so I stuck with Static Field until he got a new PC. I probably dealt the most damage, but couldn't kill anything, meaning no XP bonuses 😂

Sadly, everyone with a 401K invested in index funds or tech is an AI guy 🥲

Played 1P over and over until I beat max difficulty with no rounds lost, just once.

Love your work, gang! I will wait patiently for a Nitro Deck 2+ that doesn’t have a separate battery. I already have too many devices with degraded or dead Li-ion batteries.

Unclear how many journalists believed that vs. editors working the clicks.
December 25, 2025 at 7:43 PM
Ah. Totally get it!
December 24, 2025 at 6:27 PM
Or is the problem that you already lost your gear and just couldn’t get it back?

BITD, Diablo 1 saves were very hackable, but maybe not today if they updated it for Battle.net.
December 24, 2025 at 6:12 PM
Oh, I remember all that. But if you still have your gear and the problem is that you’re under-leveled, you can just quit and restart to grind again, no?

But yes, I remember many late-night corpse runs when we couldn’t quit or we’d lose it all 😭

I wouldn’t worry about DV2 unless you’re really excited about the announced features. DV1 is widespread, so creators will target it for years. DV2 will take years to build an install base.

OTOH C1 isn’t that old. I just upgraded from an E6 (2016) to a G5 (2025).

Remind me, can't you just restart multiplayer with the same characters to get a new seed and fresh mobs to grind?

This isn't MS trying to build a user base. This is Best Buy clearing inventory space. Bet the price drops will deepen after Christmas as retailer realize these things are $650 rocks on the shelf.

They already had the Howard Hughes jars. The use case came later

If the contract went to anyone else, it might enrich a brown person somewhere. Even if Trump and Elon are on the outs, they gotta keep it in the family.

Gonna be full of sanewashing phrases like "controversial" and "disputed"

No good person deserves to die like this, regardless of whether they make media I don't enjoy.

This looks like a novelty mint tin from Gamestop.
December 22, 2025 at 8:13 AM
Still waiting for mine. If you don't have your answers by the time I get it, I'll be happy to help.

That's just an Arquillian.
