I remember a LOT of people giving up gaming entirely during the transition to 3D because of this. That was when a lot of the people who experienced the arcade era stopped keeping up.

It’s hard for me to imagine anyone else in any of the roles. They are all such perfect fits.

There is a current wild theory relating to his fortnite account circulating. People found his account name and receipts for vbucks in the most recent release. His account activity was allegedly active up until he was jailed, then a gap, and then activity again in 2024.

That was a close one!

Argh, sorry!

I gave up on this game a long time ago. It took me longer than it should’ve to realize that “old Blizzard” is gone and not coming back.

I don’t seek him out, but when I see screenshots of stuff he’s said, it’s usually some vacuous nonsense like this.

I think the social security card is its own thing with its own application. It’s not really supposed to be an ID, so my guess is it might be different from your legal name for bureaucracy reasons.

Apparently Duchovny can never stop being Duchovny no matter what he’s doing.

I’m no expert, but I believe there are some distros with paid support (intended for corporate clients).
