Comment on Lego - what do you do with it afterwards? in ~hobbies
tinselsnips LinkThey go on display until something else gets built that I don't have room for, then get taken down and disassembled. I'll occasionally rebuild old models and cycle them through.They go on display until something else gets built that I don't have room for, then get taken down and disassembled.

tinselsnips Link ParentInteresting, I haven't really run into any of that yet. It's definitely present, but not in your face as long s you don't open the "spend money here" tab.Interesting, I haven't really run into any of that yet.

Same basic concept as Cookie Clicker, if anyone remembers that.I was looking for the same thing last night and found Egg, Inc. which has been a fun time waster so far.

Intuitively, you should start with your fully-specced characters from the end of Part 1, but that likely isn't workable from a game balance perspective, especially if you haven't played P1.
The trailer implies some -- (Edit: How do we spoiler tag on here??) -- oh here we go:

more dream sequence/parallel timeline shenanigansso they may just do the classic "early-game event robs main character of most abilities" thing like most sequels, though that's a bit of a cop-out, IMO.

Comment on Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. in ~tech

One of the things that has drawn me here is the expectation of good-faith participation being baked into the site philosophy. We have to see how that bears out long-term, especially having only "one guy" in charge, but if the platform can consistently enforce that philosophy, that crowd may simply never see it as a viable marketing platform.

tinselsnips Link ParentMan I feel like I'm the only person in the world that did not care for that movie. I thought it was trying to borrow from It Follows and The Ring, and managed only the worst of each.Man I feel like I'm the only person in the world that did not care for that movie.

Just you, four wheels, and the mud, trying to get from A to B. It's my go-to zone-out game.
There's a million DLC, but the base game still has 100+ hours of content.

While not technically a streaming exclusive, one of my favourite TV series ever is Halt and Catch Fire; only season one got a Blu-ray, and season two only got a DVD release. S3 and 4 never saw a physical release at all.
The only place you can still find it are iTunes, and AMC's streaming service. While iTunes is theoretically "permanent", you're still reliant on Apple not one day pulling the plug on that service.
