    MS to buy Activision/Blizzard for nearly $70 billion. https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-activision-blizzard-acquisition-133637845.html

      I guess it does make sense to buy from that context, but I'm not sure I'd call it overblown; they were sued by the state of California over their workplace culture, after all.

      Really weird timing given the significant problems at Activision that have arisen as of late. I'd hope they're taking steps to address those...

    This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.  This is only a test.

    Is player0 associated with left controller or right controller?

    1. bluswimmer

      If you're referring to the sprite then it technically isn't associated with either controller; that's up to you to decide.

    Did mobile gaming totally flop? Most of the current good games still seem to be from the 2012-2016 era.

      The market seems to be dominated by companies that quickly pump out low-effort free games that are loaded with ads. To my understanding, they bank on people that try a lot of games, but don't really stick around for long.

    Cedar Point theme park here in Ohio has had to close a few days in the week due to not having enough employees. Even though they are paying $20 an hour. So come to Ohio if you want to make about $40k/year making overpriced munchies for families or tearing tickets at the roller coaster. Not making light of their work, I am sure it's hard, as most jobs are. Rent is cheap in Ohio. $700-$800 a month in most areas will get you a nice apartment with a pool, gym, etc..

      Cedar Point has traditionally relied on international employees to staff their park. Given the current pandemic, that lifeline isn't available to them right now. Some of the amusement parks nearby are also having staffing issues, though nowhere near this extent.

    How popular is Dr Mario these days?

      I like it, though I personally prefer Tetris or Puyo Puyo for my falling block needs.

    Q: why does Reddit exist and who is its target audience? Alternative to all of the other social media sites and forums or what?

      for me it was mostly because it wasn't blocked in high school...

      That's certainly a thought! I probably won't do it myself since I have no means to test it, but if anyone wants to give it a shot, I wouldn't mind.

      No, this is a web game, but it was intended to resemble a Vectrex game!

    Does it bother you when Linus wears a blue shirt in a Peanuts comic strip?

      Honestly it bothers me more when Charlie Brown's shirt is red.
