If I were a software engineer I would simply leave the bugs out of the codebase. I don’t understand why this isn’t common practice in the industry.

Asking Kucherov to come play for the @NHLFlyers is like asking a Michelin Star Chef to make hoagies at Wawa.

It really bothers me when people misunderstand Morrowind that badly. You're specifically NOT a chosen one. They've been throwing Nerevarines at the wall and your character is the one that sticks
So you're specifically wanting oblivion? Because in Morrowind you were a chosen one, in Skyrim you were the chosen one, and I know little about 1 and 2. Also, I don't want classes. I like being able to become whatever the hell I want through hard work.

I think I figured out what Amazon is missing in Rings of Power. Someone should let the show-runners know that there was an incredible author that wrote some books which may help them out!

According to The Verge, an official announcement of The Elder Scrolls VI will happen very soon, even as early as next month. It will be called "The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel", and will take place in the province of Hammerfell. The game's story will focus on the Elder Scrolls artifacts themselves, and uncovering the secrets of the Scrolls.

It is 2027. I get into an argument with a British person online, so I post an image that contains embedded code which makes the government think they are 12 years old and accessing the internet without permission. They are hit by a drone strike, and I win the argument.
🚨 NEW: The age-check methods for Brits to access social media from March have been announced 1. Photo ID matching (passport against a live photo) 2. Banking checks 3. Digital ID services 4. Facial age estimation (additional check if needed)

A dark day for democracy to attack journalists for reporting. Textbook fascism. Real dark stuff. Troubling. Freedom died a little today.
At a rally in Soldotna today, US Senate candidate Mary Peltola said the media’s focus should be on Alaska’s high cost of living and Sen. Sullivan’s support of the war in Iran — not who is on the ballot. “Nobody at the New York Times cares about affordability in Alaska.”

One of the funniest complaints I've seen about Modern Warfare 4 is that the ROK/US Marine squad talk like zoomers. And it's like yeah no shit, this isn't the OIF/OEF/GWOT anymore, the game takes place in 2026, the zoomers are the ones fighting wars now. These guys play Fortnite, repost Malfoid art on Twitter, and watch vtubers.

"Uhh... the purpose of a landing pad seems pretty straightforward here, guys,"
The Mayans were already building mysterious megastructures in 1000 BC when they were supposed to be living in little huts. They moved 4 million cubit meters of earth and it took them 200 years.

You know some of their writers were seething over Gondor News.
[NEWS] “Marnûkh is a character meant to challenge long-held perceptions of Orcs. He’s such a departure from past depictions that within the production, Marnûkh has picked up the catchy nickname, “the Orc with an arc.” #TheRingsOfPower
