This deserves all the stars.

I feel like for every “I got mine, fuck you” comment I see there are two or more, “I don’t got mine, fuck you” comments as well. Obviously the more people that can use it the better, but there seem to be a lot who feel that because they won’t be able to get it that it basically shouldn’t exist period.

This is a…

TL;DR || I won’t say the game has no problems, but I personally haven’t yet experienced any, and while some aspects of the game were a let down I’ve still really enjoyed it.

I just built a new computer a few weeks back and got to pick a free game with my RTX 2060, opted for Anthem since it appealed to me the most even…

Apparently they went with the lower refresh rate so that the minimum specs from the first Rift would still work pushing the higher res in the Rift S. I guess maybe since this isn’t a true Rift 2.0 they didn’t want to necessitate users upgrading their computers on top of buying the new headset, but honestly I think…

Seems likely it’d all be under the same domain, something like “stadia.google.com”, so could you just ban anything with that?

It probably depends on the game, but they said you can use keyboard and mouse or your existing controllers. Their controller has the added benefit of connecting to wifi to directly communicate with the data center, but it won’t be necessary.

It’s activated by a button, they’re not listening to everything.

The screenshot is misleading. The update is having the song name show up on the Pixel’s “Always-On Display”, where the screen is off except for the pixels showing the time, date, weather, etc. Right now for example I only see a little Spotify icon, and it’s not until I wake the screen that I get the additional info.

Correct.

I agree they definitely could have included a line to join the two more clearly, but in The Avengers the facility that holds the Tesseract does appear to also be home to Project Pegasus. So yeah, not so much a throwaway line (although there could have been one, I don’t remember) as much as it was a throwaway sign…

And I think there was a moment of personal revelation in the fight following that, where she gets thrown back by the force of shooting her beams. To me the look on her face pretty clearly said, “Well hey, that could be useful.” 

Had an astronomy prof show us this video in class one time. It shows a simulation of two galaxies colliding, but pauses periodically to overlay images from Hubble featuring galaxies at that same stage of merger. It’s pretty remarkable! 

Yes, thank you! The design was cool right up until I noticed that, at which point it was the only thing I could see.

I had hoped for a time that they were all trolls, but then I discovered one of my friends was on the fence about it, and it was because his siblings (one of whom is a civil engineer) have all become strong believers in the Flat Earth. In their case it’s a religious thing. If the Earth isn’t round and space isn’t real,…

Definitely seems high, but I found the same number at a different source too, which they got from a report by the European Food Safety Authority. This American Chemistry Council poster has a slightly lower value of 1.5 oz (~42000 mg), but that doesn’t change the fact it’s still far and above what you’d get from a…

I just built a new PC this week (i5-9600k, RTX 2060, 16 GB DDR4), finally upgrading from my 10 year old processor and 5 year old GPU. So I’m going to be finishing up the Battlefront 2 campaign and trying out Anthem some more, which I got for free with my 2060. Maybe try out Apex Legends with some friends too.

Yikes. I don’t think it’s worth my time responding to you, but maybe this can help other people.

It was about 1 in a million people that were compensated, and the total compensation over the last 30 years has been $4 billion. Maybe you didn’t intend this, but it sort of sounds like you’re saying individual families…

I think that’s an IV bag, not a badge.

Anyone else remember the Neptune Suite? Was supposed to be a smartwatch “hub” that had all the important guts like the CPU, and then had a host of peripheral devices that were essentially just screens with batteries and a Wi-Fi antenna to connect to the hub so that you could still use it in a phone or tablet form…
