Summary: They were seeing a disconnect between Arkham Asylum player stats and sales, indicating a large portion of the playerbase blasting through the game then selling it back to retailers. WB studios were directed to explore ways to lengthen player engagement, preferably enough to keep the game forever.
The nemesis system gives some light procedural flair to an otherwise-deaigned experience. I don’t think it did what they hoped it would, but it was still a great mechanic.
“Recently” being one Reddit post three years ago about needing to manually index the color nozzles on their third-party ink.
A YouTuber hyped it up as Brother turning to the dark side so that he could profit off clicks.

Deep cut. Such a strange game.
I remember playing 3-person multiplayer with no router in that game. A friend had two Ethernet ports but couldn’t bridge them, so he’d host and the other two of us would join. Some stuff worked smoothly, but other stuff was super broken.
And federal prisons house convicted criminals who are specifically carved out of the “no slavery” rules
Immigration detention centers house people who have not been convicted of a crime. If they can legally work, all labor law should apply. If they can’t, the company shouldn’t be able to cut costs by paying them a pittance instead of hiring an actual employee.
Gotta love (A Bit of) Fry and Laurie.
Both combined is $15.58. That doesn’t include the excellent expansions for either game though.
They are the only portal-likes (chamber-based player movement puzzlers) that I’d place on the same level as the Portal games.
Lingo ($6.99/$9.99) is an incredible exploration and word puzzle game. It also has a few excellent custom maps such as Duolingo and Liduongo.
A sequel (Lingo 2 $9.99) just released and is also excellent. It changes how puzzle rules are presented, making them playable in either order. It’s a more polished experience though, so playing the first game after would probably feel like a step backward.
This is an article about the formerly-prestigious university in north-east US. Your link is to a list of wineries physically based in the Columbia River Valley, a region of Washington State on the opposite side of the country.
There is no connection between them.
The SA80 is one of the early examples of the push to give everyone an optic.
While the SA80 is a service rifle, there is a prominent bull pup sniper. In the early 80s, Walther made the WA2000. It was intended for urban counterterror operations, so it focused on portability and quick setup.
Bananas grow from seeds inside the fruit. Since we bred the seeds out, now it’s a clone-only plant.
There is a spammer begging for money in DMs using that picture.
He’s changing his tune on one vaccine. He’s still sabotaging everything else, including the flu shot for next year.
Please note that this is based on a Reddit post from three years ago. It’s a YouTuber that stokes drama for money doing what he does best.
Scare us away? Some of us are on instances that make the connection more obvious.
Want a fun piece of trivia? Epic Pinball launched Digital Extremes, the developer behind Warframe.
It’s a good time to note that this is the vaccine the autism bullshit stems from. If he was genuine in his views, this is the one vaccine it would make sense for him to oppose.
It doesn’t allow for any use of your data. It allows for use of your data to do the things you ask it to do. That permission is implied by you asking it to do something, but it isn’t explicitly stated.
The AI clause is conditional. It only applies if you use the AI features.
The game prints enough money that they could afford to have a writing staff and illustration team. I think the idea is that building character depth will make a subset of players more connected to them. This keeps them playing and also increases the odds of them buying a skin for the character.
It’s similar to the Meet The ______ videos from TF2 and the comics that built on them.
That’s likely true, but we can write a fair contract that allows for that.
This guy is a professional. He’s been in the national security game for decades.
With that in mind, I kind of suspect that he added the journalist intentionally to draw attention to the insane comments against our closest allies.
