Here's the Onion article covering the news: https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

It is well worth reading for fans of corporate speak and worshippers at the feet of infinite growth.

Plenty of 60-year-olds play games. They were in their 20's and 30's as gaming matured. The N64 and PS1 target audience was people who are now in their 50's and 60's.

It's an interesting thing to consider. If someone lies all the time, is it inconsistent to distrust the positive things they say but take the bad at face value?

Part of the issue is that modern games are usually getting fixes right up to release. Pre-release reviews tend to focus on things that aren't likely to ever change significantly, like design and writing.

It would be nice if they gave a summary of issues they saw with a disclaimer that they may get fixed instead of omitting that information entirely.

Gotta love the McD hate in this case.

The problem item is onions from a major processor. Burger King had a SKU recalled too, along with most of the processed onions from both Sysco and US Foods, which supply most restaurants. It goes way beyond McD.

Washington Mutual didn't get bailed out. The feds forced Chase to buy their accounts, making it less dramatic than Leeman.

Excel functions are translated. This leads to being pretty much locked out of any support beyond documentation if your system language isn't English.

If you haven't, check out Combined Arms. It is an OpenRA mod that brings in a lot of units and design from RA2, Generals, and C&C3.

It's only connected when you are pressing the spots, and they were painful to use so that they wouldn't get pressed accidentally.

Yeah... That reads as them being ordered to guard the convoys, not bomb them at a whim.

The note reads:

IF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS NOTE YOU MUST BE ENGAGED IN DEMOLISHING ONE OF THE FALSE COLUMNS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE FOYER OF THE SAINSBURY WING OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FALSE COLUMNS ARE A MISTAKE OF THE ARCHITECT AND THAT WE WOULD LIVE TO REGRET OUR ACCEPTING THIS DETAIL OF HIS DESIGN.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT ONE OF THE DONORS OF THIS BUILDING IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED THAT YOUR GENERATION HAS DECIDED TO DISPENSE WITH THE UNNECESSARY COLUMNS.

The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.
