These hotshot streamers need to take a chillpill and remind themselves it’s just a fucking game.

I am kind of surprised and delighted at the sheer amount of vitriol the trailer provoked, since I thought I was the only one who hated that book.

Bill Gibson, the hip Amero-Canadian who defined the aesthetic, is now a snarky Twitter curmudgeon.

It’s occurred to me often in the last decade or so that if you wanted to make a movie out of Neuromancer, you wouldn’t have to rely on miniature or CGI cities. You could just go to Shanghai, or Dubai, and it would look plenty futuristic without much in the way of post-production alterations.

True, you changing your name may not always be tenable as a fix here. But if the developers consider this a legitimate problem (and it seems like they do if they’re banning people over it), they could do something like a Stream Mode option that would either remove or randomize all names when enabled. And if they…

Streaming is obviously an important element to the developer. But I can’t imagine why it would hurt viewership to have a 5 minute delay option. If I streamed a game like this, I would definitely delay the stream to the point that it didn’t get me killed.

Even if we did have evidence that this guy was looking at his stream, I feel like making that against the rules is silly. You don’t want everyone online seeing where you are in the game, maybe don’t stream in the first place. Or at the very least use a different name so you can’t be identified.

Not disagreeing with your substitution, but please, everyone, just skip that Don Johnson crap. Here’s the original version of “Heartbeat,” which was written & recorded by Wendy Waldman, and is perfectly good early-‘80s pop music. (The rest of the album has its moments too.)

I stumbled upon the Linkin Park/ Jay Z album on Spotify somehow. It’s real bad. There’s a version of Big Pimpin’ that has the lyrics:

i humbly submit thatthis: 88. Twenty One Pilots, Blurryface, be replaced with this:

Have your 2.5 children (meaning you and most others have two, and let the outliers with 3 and 4+ be because they’re helping to increase the population slowly) and we’ll be fine.

Yes and no. Their economy is in decline for a lot of reasons, from falsely inflated numbers, to growing societal demands of better pay to the population issue. They saw large growth rates due to an exploding manufacturing sector as they pilfered jobs from around the world - it had little to do with population. The one…

It has helped that many actual liberals have been enthusiastic participants in the realignment of the Democratic Party from labor-oriented to professional-oriented, with all the nose-in-the-air attitude that implies.

Oh man, everyone’s slinging hyperbole but I personally LOVED home. But then I also wasn’t using it like a yahoo chat room. One of my personal spaces had a TV with full access to crackle and music channels so my friends and I started using it as a hangout spot in between games. I moved across the country so it was…

I would literally offer myself up to be the laughing stock of the gaming community and pay $30-$60 for a Remake of PS Home or an Xbox equivalent. I looked back at my PS3 playtime a few weeks back ever since I dropped it (I was always predominantly Xbox when I had the thing anyway), 70 Hours logged. I’m pretty sure an…

There was a brief time where you could do an Xbox Live party and watch Netflix together, and everybody’s avatars would be sitting in a theater in front of the show, Mystery Science Theater-style. It was actually pretty fun to goof around and joke on movies... but like I said, unfortunately not very long-lived.
