No, not exactly that. The argument often pushed by crypto bros is that you can move digital assets between games freely. It’s a fanciful scenario where you could theoretically take a sword for example in one MMO and use it in a completely different game. And of course that would never work in the real world.

She’s not an AI making informed choices based on player input. Let’s not pretend it’s more than a dialog option between change to skinny or stay fat.

Platinum has always been hit-or-miss. They made that terrible Legend of Korra game. And that boring Transformers game. And that awful TMNT game. And that questionable Star Fox game.

BtB was so much better than this show.

Never has a game so swiftly torpedoed my interest upon starting it for reasons not related to the actual gameplay.

““But then why not just use the far cheaper Switch?!” you cry, somewhat belligerently. Well, I reply, yeah, there’s a lot to that. Except that I’ve fifty squillion wonderful PC games on my Steam account that have never had a Switch release, and I like playing them. Never mind the significant point that this is a much,…

Wondering why this remains Kotaku’s most recent article 12+ hours later on a weekday? https://gmgunion.com/

Tell me you’re white without telling me you’re white. 

Because you “look like a suspect.”

Sweetie, hate to tell you this, but that was no compromise. You were completely in their control. 

The trope is based on the ancient Greek “emission theory” of vision (they actually did believe the eye worked by actively emitting rays) and a naive (mis)understanding of the quantum observer effect.  (The two of which are probably not entirely unrelated.)

To be clear, this guy wasn’t just creating modchips for homebrew. He was involved in maintaining and supporting huge pirated ROM libraries for use with those modchips, and selling paid custom firmware (“SX OS”) that allowed access to those ROM libraries. It was estimated that Team Xecuter was raking in tens of…

Maybe a hot take but Batman’s competence has always been the least interesting thing to. I hate the whole “oh, I have a secret file on how to beat everyone in the Justice League” thing.

I really think the technology behind blockchain is fascinating, and I think there could be potential uses for it that aren’t all scams and financial speculation.

It also doesn’t help that Hisui Region, and by extension the Sinnoh Region, is on based on Hokkaido. And that the Imperial Japanese government annexed and colonized Hokkidaido from the indigenous Ainu people and forcibly assimilated them.

That’s... actually one of the more gracious ways to admit cheating I’ve ever seen. Admitting, deleting all the fake stuff, and paying back the money. Deleting the socials is probably a wise decision for his own sake. More people should do that regardless of admission of guilt.

Sure, in some settings “raise my score” doesn’t necessarily require “lower their score”. But with the Elo ranking system you can’t have one without the other. If Karjakin’s goal was to raise his rating then he has both options, either winning or a draw. Given the situation he may have decided that ‘draw’ was the…

Not a huge one.

But it’s 2 hours long which heavily outweighs the excellency.
