When an interviewer asked Maurice Sendak (of Where the Wild Things Are fame) about Dahl, his response was memorable: "The cruelty in his books is off-putting. Scary guy. I know he's very popular but what's nice about this guy? He's dead, that's what's nice about him."

The shitpost is correct. Bony fish, or the superclass Osteichtyes, absolutely is a scientific classification, and by the way modern cladistics work, every single thing descended from them, which includes all terrestrial mammals, reptiles etc. are also bony fish.

In other words, if the common ancestor of tuna and squirrels and whales is a bony fish, they are all bony fish. The squirrel and whale cannot be demoted from their bony fish status.

You can already play it comfortably in 60 fps, but not on Nintendo hardware.

When a fizzy drink loses its fizziness, it's described as flat.

I haven't read Ministry, but I'm not sure I'd call KSR a utopian. Aurora was some pretty bleak shit. (Great book though)

Umm, this is the first thing we were taught on the first day of kindergarten.

I know what you are referencing, but displayport already covers everybody's use cases

I love all three, but they are quite different in their gameplay. In DRG you choose a class upfront so your role is more defined by this choice, the challenge is mainly about getting your bearings and traversing the terrain, and the mission objectives are (IMO) more involved. In HD2, the challenge is more about surviving against hordes of enemies without killing each other. In DRG, if you shoot somebody you hear a funny voice line, but I don't think I've ever killed a teammate by shooting them. In HD2, this happens all the time.

I don’t understand why I would play it over Deep Rock Galactic, especially when the original Helldivers actually has splitscreen co-op.

I don't see the logical connection here, but you do you. Perhaps worth pointing out, the original Helldivers doesn't have splitscreen but rather shared screen coop -- meaning you can't get separated from your teammates, which is both a feature and a pretty big limitation.

As another 7000 series victim, please share any pointers on how to mitigate the crashes.

White is OP, known issue since 1889 and devs haven't addressed it. Dead game

I think the idea was to differentiate it from tabletop back when they were a lot more like tabletop RPGs than most of today's RPGs -- they were either turn based or pausable, party based, and involved, you know, playing a role. This was way back before basically every third person hack and slash was called an action RPG and the acronym lost all meaning. I realize that it makes me sound like a bitter old man, and I loved Nier Automata, but it ain't an RPG.
