The ethos is “Oppenheimer will bring clicks but we’re primarily a gaming culture site. What extremely strained metaphor can we use to farm some search engine optimization, since we probably shouldn't just publish a post that says "Oppenheimer" 500 times in a row?"

No, people are worried about CSAM because if it exists, isn’t squashed, and people aren’t jailed for it, then it leads to more of it being created which means more abused children.

WWE is anti-union so they can rip off their talent, and they use propaganda just like Walmart and Amazon and almost every other business to convince their workers unions are bad. However WWE is probably more successful with this plan because they are able to showcase big names and say “See? Look how much X makes, not…

It really seems unnecessary to “delete” accounts at all. Data storage is dirt cheap and that’s IF they are actually deleting the account to begin with. Commonly a deletion just equates to setting an “Active” flag from 1 to 0 in their database but retaining all the data because it’s better to retain it and not use it…

These kinds of things are neat, although substantially less impressive now that we have 4k TVs taller than a person for pennies on the dollar of what it would cost back in the day, back when such a thing would be a minor feat of engineering.

That does look pretty great. The quick contrasts between slow and fast motion don't make logical sense really, but they make perfect visual sense and communicates the super speed very well, which is what's important. 

How is it not the game’s fault when the game’s setting and story are what make this planet not only a possible option, but an almost guaranteed one before being confirmed? They could have made the game about tons of other shit in other places, there’s tons of ground to tread without changing the gameplay mechanics or…

Are we just going to ignore the fact that Hardcore mode, and their cousin Ironman mode, existed in games for years and years before being game streaming was a thing? Okay then.

Then why exactly are you crying about it like a tantrum throwing 7 year old?

Considering the original was just a bunch of “I’m 12 and this is deep” nonsense that hit solely because most of us were neck deep in pubescent angst and confusion and it absolutely doesn’t hold up once you take your nostalgia-goggles off, I agree.

Maybe that’s why we should focus on that (or not specifically that, see my next paragraph). After all, from JFK’s speech on this subject:

The ability to submit a recording of the recent conversation is a really good step and if adopted by other systems it could do a lot to curb shitty people in voice chat (provided they actually deal with the reports properly). If that got adopted on a wider basis by Sony, Valve, and individual game publishers it could…

I honestly don’t know about that. The only F Zero game that broke 2m was the first game. The other console games sat at about 1-1.5m. And yeah the console install base is much larger now but there hasn’t been a console release in 20 years.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Yep. I won’t buy Activision/Blizzard games because of the hostile work environment they fostered. But before that I wouldn’t buy their games because they haven’t made a game that got me excited since I tried and was thoroughly disappointed by Diablo 3.

It’s always good when a game becomes available to purchase and launch through other stores, even if it does or does not require a separate launcher to actually play. And the fact that you don’t even need the other launcher is an added bonus.

It can be irritating to have to wait a day for an upgrade or to buy new seeds but at least that only really matters in year 1. By Year 2 you can easily be fully upgraded and have enough cash you can buy all the stuff you need in advance. 

I hope by "more dialogues" it means beyond what would be expected to be included for the other additions. Because new dialogue specific to a new festival or new secret events is kind of a given.

Yeah exactly. Rate limiting is a tool, how and why it is used is what is important.

They would probably just make a screw that just gets to the battery and make it Phillips head, leaving the rest as whatever they currently use.
