engraved in their gun's sights while doing the seeking?

Not sights, Dust cover. Meaning the only way the message is exposed is if the user has loaded a round in the chamber.

Which is so, so much worse.

You throwing babies away?

Hell, at that price point, buy two and have an awning setup in-between them to link them.

Privacy from the kids and still under $38k.

I'd get one as an in-law suite even!

I paid $3.50 to see a band a few months. Granted, I got a discount but the tickets were about $25 regular.

The ludicrousness is the point. "Capture a creature in a ball"... How close is that to Red Dead's lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I'm certain it was someone's "technique" while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.

There's body cam footage of Tyreek handing the cops his license and the police turned around and said "he was refusing to identify himself."

So, yeah, I fucking do.

Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said "I see you're using my method to build a house! Pay up!"

Well, you can't patent something like that!

Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says "You're using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!" and that one is a unique mechanic?

How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it's a digital arrow?

From my experiences it goes more like this "In an ideal world, we'd behave this way. We're not in an ideal world though and your competitors have no problem doing this so you should know what to do, in case the market determines it's the best course." with a knowing wink thrown in.

I was high after a dental procedure, proceed to take a nap on the couch all day.

A few days later, a Japanese copy of Kirby Tilt n Tumble arrived on my doorstep.

Which is good that there isn't much text in that game but odd because they then added it to Switch Online shortly after...

The only one I want is right there. I mean, it's neat but I'd rather just get a $20 eXtremerate shell and have something I could use on my Switch.

And this is coming from someone who's got a Takara Roulette in my collection...

Look, I'm a grade A nutjob but two divorces later and I've never even voted Republican.

So that's... At least two things my dad and I have in common.

Then at least use something fancy like a flight stick! The F710 makes... anything newer than the Gravis Gamepad look like luxury!
