So basically, Microsoft is leaving it up to the developers to decide how they want their games to play.

I think we’re giving Ubisoft too much credit here with laying the blame on the console. Isn’t it possible that Ubi’s engine for Assassin’s Creed is just terrible at optimization?

Maintenance must have been part of it. With today’s engines, you could probably get away with that level of accessibility. (I keep expecting a car whose hood is sealed with a sticker reading, “No tubes or user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.”) The engines of that era needed to be…

Infotainment systems are going to be a totally different platform than Android and the hardware won’t be even similar between the NV system and a QC Snapdragon. R/W performance losses should be easy to mitigate and shouldn’t hamper operation greatly as they won’t be doing a ton of R/W operation in day to day use.

Just read that Kraftwerk co-founder Florian Schneider passed away yesterday. Must therefore play the original version of Autobahn in tribute. :-(

This is probably something Variety found on a USB stick some bonehead left at Medieval Times. 

In that case he was always legally known as Duncan Jones - that’s what is on his birth certificate - his parents just called him “Zowie Bowie.”

Look, if Musk says his son’s name is “X AE A-12" on twitter, then it must be true. Musk is not known for ever joking on twitter.

I don’t think predicting market trends based on what is happening right now is valid.

This is a beauty queen compared to what is coming out of Japan these days.

I would think that a Jalopnik editor, of all people, would be smart enough to know that a leaked photo taken in a confined space, up close, with a wide-angle smartphone camera, in poor lighting, is as much an indicator of the proportions of a vehicle as Trump’s endorsement is an indicator of a drug’s effectiveness…

Wait, we’re thinking this is bad?

“They realized their esports league for that was bleeding money, so they abandoned the entire game.”

Pretty sure that KE=m*v^2 is a good reason why fatalities are up.

I always see people criticizing the rich for “not donating enough”, but I’ve yet to see people criticizing the rich for “not donating at all”. Why is that?

Or a video game company can donate a big $0 and not be featured in this article. That’s also an option.

It’s almost as if trying to ensure that vitally important societal needs get taken care of by relying on voluntary private contributions instead of mandatory collective public funding is a fundamentally idiotic proposition! But that can’t be right, can it?

“Net worth” is irrelevant, since most of that is illiquid assets. Iwiński can’t exactly donate those 12 million shares of stock as-is - they’re useless to charities and researchers. And liquidating that much stock in one go would drastically undercut the value - it’d be going for pennies a share by the end, which…

I’m guessing you’re happy enough with your Chinese phone, laptop and so on though?

Adding America over a year later to a WW2 game was a stupid decision
