“I have no choice...”  Fuck off.  You are literally on a “gaming reviews, news and tips” website which is an option to get an idea of a game before you buy it.

“Line Goes Up” addresses this. It points out that by publicly buying into NFTs and such, you are signaling to the world that you are desperate to get rich quick, you are bad with money, and you are bad with risk assessment.

Pretty soon, all video game companies will be owned by Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Tencent, or Embracer Group.

idk why I clicked, I knew it’d be a slideshow...

Gotta be honest, I prefered Deck 16, and am confused by how much articles tend to focus on this particular level. I didn’t even have a strong opinion on it back when I played.

Sometimes writers need to dig deep into their big bag of language to come up with the perfect polished phrase to express a guttural/emotional idea, and sometimes words like “cheap and shitty” convey exactly what was needed with poetic simplicity. Thank you, Zack. It all does feel more than a bit cheap and shitty, all…

Polygraphs are not admissible in court.  Yes, they get used in investigations, but given how unreliable they are, they’re never actually entered as evidence.

I wouldn’t even give them 50% accurate. Maybe in lab conditions with some pretty strict standards and very simple questions.

All these things do is detect a bunch of physiological reactions, and assume they represent stress. That that stress can be consistently tied to lying.

Sorry, my timeline doesn’t even believe vaccines work. Everyone here definitely thinks polygraphs are foolproof lie detectors.

Are people really this unaware that polygraph tests don’t work. They are only about 50% accurate, which makes them literally useless. The fact that we use them in court cases is truly scary.

I have played and enjoyed this (as well as F13th) but I don’t get complaints about stuff like “slugging”. Like... You are playing a horror game. My favorite thing about playing F13th as a counselor is that I suck at the game and always die.

One of the more important tips I would give to new killers is this: it’s okay to break off a chase. Nothing I’ve seen demoralizes an inexperienced killer more than chasing a survivor for minutes on end and never catch them. If a survivor is giving you too much trouble, has too many pallets to throw, or is going to a…

Yeah, the funny thing is from what I’ve read the “story” of DNF’s development isn’t anything particularly unique or strange. They kept changing the design and changing their technology and they just couldn’t make enough progress to actually finish the game. I think the only unusual thing about it is that the game kept…

No no no! Admitting you were mistaken and being thankful for the correction? On the internet? I don’t think so! You get back there right now and double-down on your original claim, mister!

Well, what can I say? I thought that was the case. Must have misunderstood something all those years ago, or maybe just assumed from the final product that it had minimal development time. Thanks for the correction.

That’s simply not the case. The game was close to completion when it was canceled, and nine former DNF developers continued working on it from home after they’d been laid off by 3D Realms. They formed Triptych Games the following year, and their former employers set them up with Gearbox to finish polishing the game…

I haven’t yet watched the video Bill replied with, but I did look up some info on DNF’s development history a few years ago. Not only were there several pivotal moments when much of the game was scrapped and restarted, but they also had major delays due to rebuilding for new engines. It sounded like a constant uphill…

Perhaps - but I think that in the grand scheme of things this is probably a net positive for the industry. For better or for worse, it is getting too hard to exist for a long time as a small, independent studio. You need to be aligned with a large group of some kind - if you aren’t, you are either one bad game away…

I’m not saying Depp is telling the truth or not. I refuse to take a side on this matter because I know I can’t be impartial. I will say that this is yet another bad take from Jez, because Heard’s lawyers have more or less made similar claims about Depp as was made against Miller regarding his alcoholism. It’s almost…

Hey bro, you have completely and utterly misunderstood a very simple thing. In this situation, Twitch is the nascent platform, and “legacy media” is the many different forms of television. Right now, nearly the entire whole of Twitch is: Random person tries a thing, and it either works or it does not. This is not, for…
