“Not that I don’t think Sony has and will acquire 3rd party game studios”

Sony doesn’t have to buy third party companies. They can just buy their exclusivity. 

Honestly, I just assume that everybody famous that hasn’t been caught doing something is just smart enough to get away with it (for now), or powerful enough to keep it under wraps.

As an Alabamian, let me say this: The next time the south tries to leave.. LET THEM GO. I will *gladly* move north; hell, I already would have if not for being responsible for the care of two elderly family members.

Collage (/kəˈlɑːʒ/, from the French: coller, “to glue” or “to stick together”;^[1]) is a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. (Compare with pastiche, which is a “pasting” together.)

Just do what I plan to: take it for what it is, a new show. This isn’t “Scooby Do”. By virtue of who the characters are, it can’t be. It’s an original series cosplaying as an existing one. It should be judged as such.

A lot of terminally online people immediately label any woman under 5’5” and with smaller than a B cup bra size a child.

The Eldar are *kind* of good guys, with a “You don’t fuck with us, we don’t fuck with you” attitude.

I agree IF, and only if, the AI in use is trained on artwork either created by the person using it, or informed, opt-in volunteers. That’s not how most of them work. Most datasets are trained from art scraped all around the internet.

Not to mention that Sony *constantly* pays companies not to release games on Xbox. If they could cut MS off from the entire Japanese game industry, they would in a heartbeat. 

Are we sure the game isn’t going to be F2P?

Ultimately, should we not blow ourselves up, we’ll hit the Star Trek economy: everything basic is taken care of, freeing people to do things because they want to. And it’ll drive up the value of human creativity.

Bingo. Had that laptop belonged to Donald Trump and someone sent it to Fox News (an actual “news” organization), it would have vanished into thin air, having been smashed into a million pieces.

I wonder how long before hackers manage to come up with cracks for cars.

Those are industries they think that they understand (the kickbacks from). But vidya games are scary to old men. 

There’s a fourth step here.. websites ban the list of IP addresses Private Relay uses since they can’t generate ad revenue for them. 

And that’s the choice they made. Like any work of entertainment, if you don’t agree with their choices, don’t buy it.

If that happens and everybody is still the same, then the outrage will be totally justified.

In reality they did because people migrate; by choice or otherwise. They seem to be implying that this place is (possibly deliberately) cut off from the outside world. Thus, no migration. You can’t develop a diverse population if there’s no way for other people to move into it.

Or a third: He’ll just lie about everything there is no evidence of.
