Bleach is awesome! Mix it with some water, use a rag or sponge and scrub. DO NOT mix anything else with the bleach. Bleach is basic, and a lot of other cleaning products are acidic. Mix a strong enough acid with a strong enough base and you get mustard gas. It doesn’t smell too great, on top of other issues. If you want to clean with bleach plus something, be safe and buy premade cleaner with bleach.

EDIT: I should also say you can’t use bleach on everything, it can damage some things. Always test a small, hard to see area before you clean a surface with bleach. For the stuff that you can’t get bleach on, you can use white vinegar or all-purpose cleaner.

Barbara Walters definitely was…

Not scifi or fantasy, but have you heard of Pentiment? It’s by Josh Sawyer, lead designer of New Vegas. You’re an artist in 1518 Bavaria completing your masterpiece at a monastery, when someone gets killed and you must collect evidence. There’s much more to it than that, of which I can’t speak without giving anything away. However, I can tell you that the game has no combat, it’s just exploration and dialogue. The whole game looks like an illuminated manuscript, and you walk around engaging in some of the most captivating conversations ever to be in a video game. The character creation is extremely unique; in the beginning, you pick where you spent your year abroad, what you do in your free time, what you got your Master’s degree in, and what your favorite subject was at university. All of these determine your attitude on and knowledge of pretty much every subject in the game. It has one of the most unique speech check systems in any RPG, with entire conversations counting toward convincing someone, showing you what you said right and wrong at the very end. Masterpiece.

You’ve answered your own question. You like 3rd-person shooter platformers, a genre which isn’t as prevalent as it was in the 6th generation of consoles. Not as many games are coming out that fit your tastes. You’re also nostalgic, which is perfectly fine, but you have to take off the goggles sometimes. I like Mario Sunshine better than a lot of modern 3D platformers, because I’ve been playing it for years and it was a big part of my childhood. But just because I love revisiting that game more than playing a new game sometimes, that doesn’t mean modern games aren’t reiterating and improving upon the things that made it great. A Hat in Time, Psychonauts 2, The Cosmic Shake, Spark the Electric Jester, Orbo’s Odyssey, SEUM, Frogun, New Super Lucky’s Tale, Supraland, Crash 4. So many great 3D platformers in recent years, with a ton of improvements to quality of life and control compared to where we were back in the day, as well as many new concepts.

Also, claiming that PS2 platformers as a whole look better than modern platformers as a whole is ridiculous, and you’re also giving no examples of either case.

E.T. is decent at best. I wanted to watch it as a young kid, but wasn’t allowed. By the time I finally watched it, I found it fell short of my expectations and I found it quite dull. Super 8 was also a middling film, but I thought it was slightly better than E.T.

Neither did Miyamoto though?

Man, I just reinstalled this suite :/

THPS1 and THPS3 are untouchable masterpieces. The Tony Hawk license never faltered when they were in charge.

Small misconception, PvZ was created by PopCap. WildTangent was just a service on which to play games. I remember so fondly using my limited free tokens to play Polar Bowling; it really was just the best.

Don’t know if you’re aware, but FATE is available on Steam. Relive those memories, boss.

Neversoft, Rareware, Sega, Activision, EA, and Bethesda created a lot of great memories from my childhood. Neversoft is defunct, Sega still makes some decent stuff but nowhere near what they did in the 90s, EA is EA, and the rest are now owned by Microsoft… so…

Funnily enough, that was my most listened song from them! I got to see them do it live during the Spicy Meatball Tour, and his voice is fucking (fucking) POWERFUL!!!

My top artist was Tenacious D, and my top song was Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai.

I think that a fart is specifically gas passing out of your intestines. Until it does that, it’s just gas.

Fallout: New Vegas, GTA: San Andreas, and Half-Life. All three masterpieces in their own right.

Reports say they’re working toward a Footlose-inspired technocracy.

I’d say there are more people willing to call bullshit on a spokesperson for a large company than to believe them. There are people who are good at calling out bullshit, and people who aren’t, but I think that only comes into play if there truly is a mind-numbingly, obviously nefarious goal such as the example you’ve given; at the end of the day, it comes down to what you want to believe and where you place your trust. You use X as an example, a company in which you clearly have no trust (wise). But, if a company you believed to have a clean track record and whose products you trusted made statements about their product, then you’d be more inclined to take it at face value than to look into it more. Furthermore, just because someone is trying to sell to you doesn’t mean they have to lie to you to do it, choosing to believe their pitch should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

And if people see two statements that are that contradictory, yet refuse to research the matter and just believe what they hear?

Then yeah, they’re just gullible.

The new X will be an everything app, yes.

The problem is it’ll have everything except users and advertisers. That second one wouldn’t be so bad, but I guarantee Xitter will lean hard into a subscription model when advertising really stops paying; they’re already testing it out with paid verification.
