legitimate uses (of which these have none).

The intended “use” is generally decorational, so I guess whether that’s legitimate depends on how tacky you think it is.

The blades are real and not blunt for decoration as a reasonable person might expect.

I have a decorational blade and while the edges are certainly not sharp, it would absolutely result in a lot of bleeding to get hit by it. I have seen some blades that have blunter edges than mine has, but even then it would still be dangerous as a blunt weapon, although no more so than a baseball bat, golf club, or some other form of “sports stick”.

Lego quality is still good but has noticeably degraded over the years.

Doesn’t address the main advantages physical games have over digital sharing. I’ll be interested once they have features that let me “switch cartridges” with a friend offline, or let me sell or gift my virtual cartridge to a stranger.

The Lost crown will be available to try for free, before the full game can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase.

Doesn’t sound like it thankfully.

Wrong, Apple does not provide any additional features besides taking a cut.

I do think 30% is a lot, but this is absolutely wrong.

Steam, on the other hand, allows: cloud saves, family sharing, media library, big picture, controller support, Linux support, achievements, community, friends, groups, store with tag search, advanced review features, inventory, couch coop over internet, and fuckton of stuff.

Compare this to the APIs and features Apple provides such as iCloud storage, family sharing, media library (both photos/videos and music, separate APIs), AirPlay, controller support, Game Center achievements and leaderboards, integration with iMessage, two whole game engines to build off of, AR API that’s used even by cross platform AR apps like Pokemon Go, a ton of UI/UX tools, and tons of other stuff you need to make an app.

And the entertainment systems crash and bug out all the time so I sure hope the more important systems are developed more thoroughly lol

They wanted 3 documents. There was a typo in the copy of my lease I was able to get (previous year) so I couldn’t use that. I was sharing a phone plan and it was under someone else’s name. Electricity and internet were included in rent.

Split it into multiple credit cards. I had a similarly very large expense recently, and I have 3 credit cards. I asked each for a credit limit increase, and took what I could get (none of them gave me what I requested, but all of them gave me some increase). Then I split the cost over all 3 cards.

Modern graphics cards are so bulky that they do regularly sag a bit. It’s important to actually screw the card into the expansion slot on the case, because that adds a bit of support.

Some cases will let you mount your GPU vertically with the help of a riser cable. This distributes the pressure a lot more nicely. Not all cases support a vertical GPU configuration though.

Really confusing to plot “child mortality” (lower is better) on the same graph as “life expectancy” (higher is better).

Yo I miss all the great in-browser shockwave games

Most of what you mentioned here just requires an SSN or TIN which is easier to get than a drivers license or Real ID.
