So why do early access games tend to only launch on PC anyway? Consoles are perfectly capable of updating games, and even have built in news feeds these days too.

Certification, [the process by which the console makers grant legal permission to sell and distribute games for their consoles], is an extremely expensive and rigorous process. This is because the console makers require a certain minimum bar of quality for player experiences. Combine the less stable state of most early access games with the expense of certification (typically in the tens of thousands of dollars) and it becomes a losing proposition to spend a bunch of money that the studio may not have to pass cert on a game that may not ever recoup that spend, especially when that money could have been spent developing a better game.

I just accidentally made un-tea?????

I made green tea, but I forgot there was an old bag of chai in the kettle, so I mixed chai water with decaf green tea, then I mixed in like a half table spoon or something of that honey from the dollar store that they aren't legally allowed to call honey because there's too much corn syrup in it and some almond milk and a single drop of coffee creamer because we ran out and???? It tastes like??? Nothing????

It has LESS flavor than my tap water! HOW do you EVEN-

I think I made a flavor that's only perceptible to shrimp, that's the only explanation

normally it's frustrating when mystery games hand you answers on a silver plate but in ace attorney, the witnesses' tendencies to conveniently say far more than what they were asked for is so hilarious that it becomes its own reward. ace attorney witnesses will be asked what time they saw the murder and they'll say it was 10:40 and they know it was exactly that time because that's the exact minute they open the can of Fancy Feast to feed their elderly russian blue cat, father of 12 kittens and phoenix will be like umm actually i spoke to your cat and here's a written affidavit from him that there was a recall on Fancy Feast and also he's never been to russia nor known the touch of a woman. you're going to jail buddy

Some of my favourite pieces of Christmas media are the ones that are straight up Evangelical propaganda, but they don't want to appear as such, so they copy and paste Santa Claus into Jesus' place. Like, I appreciate the hustle, my dudes, but I cannot begin to explain how many heresies you just promulgated.

Obviously there are a lot to fruity Arknights operators, but there’s something very special to me about Closure and Pudding. Closure specifically wanted to hire an assistant who could “adapt to her numerous wild fantasies and make them happen with her”. So she hires this talented electrical engineer to work closely with her as her assistant and immediately gives her the petname “Pudding”. However Pudding is oblivious to this and decides to make the petname her boss gave her while she was being flirted with into her official operator codename.
