They've done the cosmic horror joke many times. I found it funny in my 20s.

Gabe's art has gradually deformed and is just horrible now.

This ignores subjectivity. What is a 7/10 for most gamers could easily be a 10/10 for a specific type of gamer. Rather than focusing on review scores people should focus on the niche of games that they really enjoy.

I learned how to do it purely to get free food at a restaurant. The idiot proof method takes about a day to learn and a bit longer to do reliably. Recommended!

It was too expensive for me so I bought an "open box, as new condition" one for $1,100 (£850). It was a risk but it really has been as new condition and I'm super happy with it. It has been a life changer because everything is easier with a larger screen (particularly the keyboard!) and having one device is so much more convenient than syncing and carrying two.

A lot of the cheaper used models have marks on the outside of the phone, but if you're using a case then it's a non-issue because the case covers them up. As long as the screens are fine.

Once the Fold 5 comes out in a few weeks even a new Fold 4 will hopefully be cheaper.

I thought they restored all the edited comments? Maybe I'll give it a go then.

Google Tasks is effectively unavoidable if you use Google products.

I had no idea it existed...

I went from several hours a day to zero after the blackout, morally I just don't want to support them anymore. I still add 'reddit' to google searches sometimes and look at those, but no more mindless scrolling of the front page.

it's not the background radiation that worries people, it's the risk of a Fukushima-type incident.

Since I was a kid I've always run up and down flights of stairs and continue to this day. It is fun, it's a workout and I find walking far too slow.

I'm 50 hours in, choose my character order and still getting like 500k. What's your secret?

All of those examples seem less about gaming and more about the guy being an asshole. You could replace gaming with any other hobby or activity. Gaming just happens to be a very common hobby.

I agree, it's who you date. I have dated women in 30s and 40s. One really wanted to play Beat Saber in VR. One plays Spiderman on the PS4. Even if they say "I don't play games" on the first date, they might be hiding a Switch under their pillow...
