7-year old me used to think these were Hershey Nuggets. You can’t imagine the shock I had when I saw my mom cooking with these.

The only way I can see this working is if GOG uses the “Bandcamp” method. I’m pretty sure most of you reading this knows what Bandcamp is but just in case: Bandcamp sells music, predominantly from indie artists and labels, which you can then download. Like Steam and GOG for games, Bandcamp is geared towards digital consumption.

However, Bandcamp allows artists and labels to sell merchandise along side digital music purchases. This can physical formats like CDs, vinyl and even cassettes. And shirts too.

GOG could encourage developers and publishers to sell physical copies along the digital purchase for slightly higher price than digital alone.

The problem is convincing developers and publishers that it’s worth it. In their view, why would spend money printing physical copies for that a platform that went digital two decades ago? Consoles, at least, still have reasons for having an optical drive.

(Fuck you, Sony!)

The ghosts of dotcom and Lehman Brothers strikes again!

Playing through all of Quake’s expansions. I’ve played the main campaign dozen of times but this is the first time I’ve played the expansions to completion.

Let’s not forget our dearly departed SD Card slot.

A moment of silence for those gooners who, for one reason or another, need to goon anonymously…

Fires that entrap passengers are a well-documented and recurring problem with every model in Tesla’s lineup of vehicles, but Cybertrucks appear to have a disproportionate number of known deaths. Safety experts have told the Guardian that the truck’s unique design amplifies the deadly issue. The vehicles come with high-density laminated windows that are harder to break than regular car windows, making escape and rescue difficult when doors won’t unlock. And the trucks are built with materials not commonly used in the industry, like stainless steel, which can complicate the work of emergency responders. The Cybertruck is also the first Tesla model to entirely eliminate door handles on the outside of the vehicle.

First, “unique” design? It’s an ugly callback to the wedge-shaped cars of the 80s. It looks like a DeLorean model that refused to render properly, and the dev just went with it.

Second, the decision to exclude door handles is fucking mental. It’s a mundane feature that cars have had since the Model T. If they wanted to make a pickup, its handles should resemble those found on a typical pickup. If it’s “aesthetics” they’re after (which shouldn’t matter when it comes to a pickup), some of the best looking cars have had no problem including door handles into its design.
