It's their own fault for cheating by psychically knowing I was stealing items despite being [Hidden] and teleporting into the room as soon as I stopped hiding. If they wanted to keep their torso un-ventilated they should have minded their own fuckin' business!

The fan-favorite companion Andreja is also receiving some backlash for her inclusion in the DLC, with NPCs not reacting to her presence. Strangely, she barely speaks at all.

Is Andreja a fan favorite? I didn't travel with her long because she got mad that I was shooting space cops...

I can't believe how many otherwise seemingly reasonable people are still involved in the MTG and D&D content ecosystems after Hasbro hired the fucking Pinkertons to threaten a Youtuber. How little self respect do they have? Promote a game that isn't made by someone who would send thugs to your house!

I wonder if I can make a cheat that doesn't do anything but turn myself into a frog...

You do what you gotta do.

I knew it was going to be Kotick before I even clicked.

Even if you buy a DVD, the only thing you are "buying" is the physical media and a license to operate the softwate. You don't own the software stored on the media, you must use it in accordance with the license agreement or potentially face legal action. The main thing about digital storefronts is that it's easier to revoke the license.

"Real world politics"? Did I miss the news that Undead Demon Margaret Thatcher is running in the next UK election?

The Build Mode features in 4 are pretty good if you're into virtual dollhouse building, and there's a ton of custom content for it (as long as you're on PC).

Live Mode is not very good, but it's functional enough to play dolls in the houses you built if you're willing to do all the story writing to make up for sims not having very interesting personalities/desires/autonomy.

Ordered energy drinks on Amazon because I couldn't find the flavor at the grocery store anymore (Monster Nitro Cosmic Peach). The estimated arrival day got pushed back twice, and then the status changed to say that the item was late enough that I could claim a refund. I punched the tracking number into the UPS website and it said that a shipping label had been created, but the package was never actually handed over to UPS. My guess is that the seller ran out of stock and decided to do nothing about it and just wait for me to refund, but I guess it's also possible that someone at UPS swiped the package instead of scanning it into their system.

Either way, I did get a refund through Amazon support.

I mean, lots of people who aren't particularly well organized manage to at least murder their victims without killing any bystanders. Doing the hit in public and also killing or injuring over 20 bystanders is either intentional or astonishingly incompetent.

The shooting may have been a result of a murder-of-hire plot, Police Chief Scott Thurmond was quoted as saying by local news outlet Al.com.

Isn't this, like, just about the worst possible way to conduct a hit? Even if you have a callous disregard for human life, it should be obvious that more victims + more witnesses = more heat. Single murders go unsolved all the time. Murdering a whole street full of people basically guarantees that the police will eventually find you and whoever hired you, unless you manage to flee the country or something.

I know the murderers are real people and not, like, Agent 47, so they can't be perfectly subtle, but they didn't even make the smallest token effort to avoid collateral damage by, for example, jumping the target while they were alone. It's almost like they were hired to do as much damage as possible... but who would be dumb enough to take a job that's basically certain to be their last?
