As has already been pointed out studies have shown that any natural advantage doesn’t go much further than the untrained. Put an assigned female at birth and assigned male at birth who have not done any physical training for a given sport against each other and you may see a minor advantage for the assigned male. But…

I know it’s the show title, but I like how the headline reads as if the character Obi-Wan is personally selecting her.

Pretty much how I feel about it at this point. Dems have pushed the margins, but it’ll still be a while before they’re winning any statewides I think. McConaughey might be one of the only people who could win against the Texas GOP apparatus just because of his name and center right-ish sounding views. And as someone…

Pretty much this. The Lieutenant Governor has more practical power than the Governor just by being head of the Senate. The actual governorship is a figurehead more than anything.

Exactly, I want to believe it’s a troll just because of how easy it would be to find a ton of high profile examples, and not that much harder to find low profile ones.

Yeah, I’m all for skins but when they are so tonally incompatible like this it only makes sense as like an april fool’s joke or some other event. This and the unicorn stick out so much as well it almost seems like it would be a disadvantage to use them.

I find the choice of Apple strange as well, but I think it may be because Apple is definitely more “othered” compared to the rest of the gaming world. There’s no question PS, XBox and Nintendo are gaming platforms with gaming stores. The App Store is far broader in scope, and Epic’s entire argument hinges on…

Microsoft and Sony may not take as big a cut as apple.

I loved Everybody’s Golf, but I’ll forever be foolishly holding out hope for the western return of Pangya

It remains to be seen whether the hashtag will result in tangible change, or if the modern, engagement-driven structure of the internet will doom it to drown in toxicity like so many other well-intentioned movements.

Nvidia has said in the past that it is those power management components, quite critical for GPUs, that are the problem for them. Nintendo has said similar things regarding the Switch and I would imagine it is the same for the PS5 and Xbox.

Kind of curious if anyone did actually think this line was a reference? I don’t follow this game so I don’t see it’s social presence, but I feel like you’d have to be really ignorant of how development works to think they’d go out of their way to shoe horn in a line of dialogue for.. well I don’t know what the point…

This is my problem honestly, like, if you want to offer your subscription service that’s fine and cool, but if I only want like 1-2 games on it I would happily pay a higher one time cost for them alone.

Yeah but I think the concern/disappointment is that, when it gets released elsewhere in 1-2 years, it will probably have lost all media interest beyond just a “oh hey this things on Steam now” and won’t gain much of an audience. There haven’t been big marketing pushes for other former Apple Arcade exclusives and this…

I got used to the voices but I will always feel like they were much cuter without them. I remember when playing through Empire, I spent the entire time wondering how they were going to manage to do the I am your Father scene without dialogue, and laughing at the clever way they finally did.

I find it incredible that they didn’t see how this just makes them look bad for allowing someone to publish several articles in their own publication without even checking who it was. Even though he literally invoiced them with his actual name!

Really wondering why so many public companies/people seem to have forgotten the age old tactic of “No Comment”

I gotta say, I wasn’t super intrigued by most of the extras but the Jewel Case mounted on a blister pack is a pretty sweet way to display a PC game while maintaining that CD era aesthetic.

It simply means they are okay with being referred to with ‘he’ as well as ‘they’. Some people for whatever reason find it difficult to never refer to someone with a gendered pronoun, so if you absolutely must, you could use he in this case.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was to curry favor with a major publisher that has a game currently plagued by cheats (take your pick). China has a lot of leverage from the size of their population alone so they don’t really -need- to earn favor, but something like this might make some western devs feel like they’re…
