Yes, it’s a pretty common korean and chinese name.

I like how your pronouns are “equipped”. Got you a pocket full of pronouns. DOn’t you drop them, or nobody will be allowed to talk about you!

You’re joking, right? Pre-2012, it was one of the most visited sites on the internet and in the top 20 gaming sites. They weren’t some no-name blog. Then after they hired Totilo, their shitty pop-tabloid reporting became so infamous even Forbes had articles about it, well before gamergate was ever a thing. This all used to be sourced info on the wiki page.

Nah, Kotaku had a shit reputation for years before gamergate got shat into existence. Their reporting was sloppy and often wrong, most of them sucked at the games they were reviewing, they spammed out vapid clickbait articles about nothing to farm ad rev. The only reason people respect them now is because they were positioned opposite gamergate, as if two things can’t both suck.

This is from a couple months back. Still excited, though.

The one that kills me is the PC release of Project Diva. Denuvo usually gets pulled after a year or so, because it’s not a one-time purchase for the publisher, they charge a recurring license fee. But for some ungodly reason, SEGA’s decided to keep paying to have it in a rhythm game. For two and a half years, you just… sometimes lose inputs or miss a note you should’ve hit, because Denuvo decided you’re gonna stutter just there.

Setting aside that the industry professionals definitely count it as current gen for sales metrics, that’s fuckin, irrelevant when the statement is about all three of last gen, current gen, and next gen. Whichever one you want to call the Switch part of, it’s the best selling console of that generation, so the statement that AMD sold chips the best selling console of that generation is false. Unless you want to make the claim the Switch is from 2006, they are incorrect.

How can the switch be a different console from last gen, current gen, and next gen? Those are literally the only generations it could be considered part of.

it’s also a great win for AMD, in general, to provide the hardware behind the two biggest consoles on the market for two consecutive (and a third upcoming) console generations.

Doesn’t the Switch have as much market share as the other two combined?

Tom’s, of course

Organoids are largely homogenous lab-grown mini-organs.

The “this video game trend” they’re referring to is the live service model.

Literally, they didn’t have to make this clickbait, people will still watch “All the ways the live service model is damaging the single-player experience”.

He got got because the user used an Apple ID that was linekd to their real identity, which is one of the things Proton is obligated to provide in cases like this.

Proton says all the time, they are obligated to comply with the letter of the law, so do not store anything identifiable anywhere they’re legally required to provide it. They tell you exactly what not to do, to avoid this precise case. They do not want to provide anything they don’t have to, but they also do not want their company shut down.

What’s stopping me? The fact that they need me to generate ad revenue to fund those trees, and I’d rather not be advertised to.

No, I understood that, I did read the article. I’m lambasting the fact that in an article about “brain chip gone wrong”, burying the “but human seems to be unharmed” at the end of an article is indicative of a set of priorities wildly different from my own.

The point is that this is the opening paragraph about something going wrong in human brain surgery, and the first thing they tell us is “don’t worry, the data’s fine”, rather than anything about the human. Indeed, you have to read to the last paragraph to find:

Arbaugh’s safety does not appear to be negatively impacted.

“Better” is such a strong word. It’s a kludge where you have to connect your phone and switch to a virtual wifi and then you can send up to ten photos at a snail’s pace. I kept using twitter because it’s such an annoying process.

Most games lose something like 80%-90% of their players in the first couple months. Helldivers 2 is still at about 35% of peak. That’s pretty huge. Is it, literally, losing steam? Yes, in a technical sense, you’re right. But all games lose steam. Helldivers 2 is losing it way slower than comparable games, which is much more important imo.

Is it chilling? I was already going to stay where I am, whether I made a copy or not. Sharding off a replica to go on for me would be strictly better than not doing that

But like… do I care? “I” will survive, even if I’m not the one who does the surviving.
