It’s particularly sad, since the last of them were hunted down, and killed off for their feathers. The final egg got trampled by people chasing down its parents.

In fairness, that was mostly accidental, unlike with the Great Auk. They were driven to extinction by inadvertently-introduced predators, as opposed to being actively hunted.

Only while they’re adolescent.

Mustn’t forget the limited edition pre-order special shelf wallpaper.

They really want to force gamers to buy the old games, just as they were, because those are next to free to adapt to a different platform and people will pay for them.

Nah, if they had wanted that, they would continue to release them in that format. As it stands, they don’t, so you can’t buy those old games from the publisher either.

You can’t have criticisms about the game if you put it on a shelf instead of playing it.

Libraries facilitate widespread piracy of books, by allowing people to read them without a distribution licence, or even take them home!

This is a clear violation of the DMCA, and thus must be stopped immediately!

That’s why they’re evil/mad scientists, and not regular scientists.

The problem with that argument is that it falls into the Last Thursdayist problem.

It could just as well be argued that the lead was created instantly in that state, or mid-decay.

Dr. Zoidberg is a fully-qualified medical doctor, though, and a good one at that. Just not for humans. Even so, he’s quite good, given that he hasn’t killed any of his human patients, though they may come out a little different.

As is Doctor Who, who has high qualifications in literally everything. It took them a few goes, but they got there in the end.

They still passed the academy, though. That’s probably incredibly good by human standards, given that Time Lord studies encompasses literally everything.

And that the requirements for those minimal improvements are vast. If you need to pull down 200GB for a minor graphical upgrade, that’s just not really worth it compared to an older game that is a bit graphically worse, but is both smaller, and runs better on newer hardware.

And in some cases, the author also paid the publisher, so they’re dipping into things from either end.

Front burner’s all burned out, and the replacement hasn’t arrived yet. 😔

Particularly with the modding scene. You can’t exactly do a randomiser with the cartridge.

Or it turns out you accidentally left caps lock on, and now you’re locked out for a few minutes.

Just make the screen one gargantuan pixel, and infer the other 2-million.

Basically. DEI (Diversity, Ethics Equity, and Inclusion, IIRC?) is the new “woke”/SJW bogey.

Having an woman (with exposed skin, no less!) is causing all entertainment to be ruined forever, etc etc, that kind of thing.

EDIT: Equity, not ethics, whoops! Thanks for the correction.

Or have a single general footer that they all refer to.

Error message? McAfee can’t write to the drive because it’s full of photos of their grandchildren and dogs, so it clicks up “can’t write to c:\temp\sqlite_arcane_computer_magic.log: Disk is full”, and it goes from there?
