Not only on Switch 2. There was at least one Tony Hawk Pro Skater game that did this.

If I remember the episode of Guru Larry, the developer noticed their rights to the IP were set to expire, so they went to shit out one last game as fast as possible. They had to get the game published by a certain date, as in discs on store shelves by this date. The game was not going to be ready in time, so they put the tutorial level on the disc to print and distribute it while they finished the game, which would then be a multi-gigabyte download. Meaning that a physical copy of the game is worthless once the servers shut down.

I’ve found I prefer Irish whiskies or American bourbons to scotch. And you know what I say to folks who like different drinks than me? Cheers!

Cool, does it run on a Galaxy S10 series phone?

I have heard that Apple removed the headphone jack to kill compatibility with those Square credit card readers.

I love how Brian Brushwood described it. It was either an inside job from someone at the station, or a very impressive feat of radio hacking, and they had to plan out the costume and the corrugated sheet on a pivot behind him to simulate the “CG” backgrounds, “But it’s as if zero thought went into what he was actually going to say.” He hums the Clutch Cargo theme tune, makes fun of Max Headroom as spokesman of New Coke by holding up a Pepsi can, and throws a little bit of shade at WGN and Chuck Swirsky.

The halcyon days of the 1980’s when a broadcast intrusion like this was basically a harmless juvenile prank.

It’s creative commons share alike. No need for attribution.

That’s a common myth; what it actually does is water it up. There’s still 2 or 3 ounces of 80 proof booze in the glass, but now it has a few more drops of water in it.

At one point in Casino Royale, Bond says he likes his drinks “very cold” which is probably the realistic reason for shaking. You can get a drink a lot colder a lot faster by shaking than by stirring.

There’s also…Ian Fleming wrote Bond to have a lot of cool and sophisticated opinions like that, at the time it sounded cool to have a custom bar order, whatever it was. Nowadays if you walk into a bar and start issuing a list of instructions to the bartender you look like a prick. If you’re in an actual bespoke cocktail bar they probably have a style they’re going for, or sir, this is an Applebee’s.

I’ve had one of those little sample bottles of Johnny Walker Blue. Tasted like 3 feet upwind of a campfire. Flavor profile: combustion.

I’m a whiskey drinker, and this is…accurate.

Bourbons are often described as having notes of cherry or apple, vanilla and shortbread, like the baking soda tang from shortbread. That sounds nice, like a pie.

Or they’ll hand you an Irish whiskey with herbal or floral notes. It’s pretty.

Then they’ll hand you a Scotch and say “This one’s really great, it tastes like peat moss, smoke, iodine and leather” and you hesitantly ask if they’d like to go to the hospital.

Some very early martini recipes call for equal parts gin and sweet vermouth. There’s been a century-long trend toward dryer and dryer martinis until we arrive at the modern recipe:

fill a tumbler full of ice, add three ounces of gin, pour half an ounce of dry vermouth down the sink next door, stir, strain into a cocktail glass, garnish with a green olive.

women wear a pair of panties but only one bra.

Which Candy Kong though? The one from DKC, the one from DK64, or the one from the animated series above?

That was my first throught, followed very closely by “WHY was that even in that movie?”

Same thing that was always going to happen to it: It’s not gonna fly. It’s been canceled or clean sheet restarted at least once by every administration since inception, and frankly that rope has been pretty thoroughly pissed up.
