FWIW you can already do precisely that on any iPhone or Android, thanks to recent augmented reality API’s. IKEA has made the app and everything.

It has led to questions over the sincerity of YouTubers’ conversations around mental health.

There’s nothing that inherently matters about getting to the end of a game as fast as possible. All that matters is that it’s a fun challenge for people to test their ingenuity and reflexes against (just like any game?). So, refining the rules of that challenge to make it as fun and interesting as possible is really…

I... okay?

I take an (apparently uncommon) approach where I’m basically constantly firing at what seems like the most likely spot for someone to be in at the moment a given rocket would hit, factoring in people’s movement vectors, their movement patterns (snipers popping in and out of cover?) and the priority/likelihood of the…

It varies a lot by target. I get direct hits on tanks all the time; Mercy flying around is probably the hardest target and it’s usually inadvisable to even try (though I’m often tempted anyway...).

As a Pharah main I’m actually excited; I almost always go for direct hits anyway, and the most frustrating thing is when I get the drop on a Roadhog, get three or four directs in before he notices me, and get killed anyway because I simply can’t output damage fast enough.

I never ever look at it any more, but I struggle to bring myself to delete it completely for exactly its original purpose: there are dozens and dozens of people I know from past seasons of life that I don’t want to totally cut off the ability to communicate with, should I choose to. People I haven’t talked to in…

Mostly it’s about how pleasant the user experience is. Also, some people (not me) really care about cameras.

That 6s is probably starting to get slow (especially for any kind of machine-learning stuff, or games). The battery’s probably holding less charge. It doesn’t have FaceID. The screen’s not as good. It doesn’t…

Companies like Equifax have little motivation for security, but companies like FB and Google have ample motivation because their data is their whole business advantage. It’s their treasure trove. They’ll beguile you our of your data willy-nilly, but they’ll put tons of effort into making sure it remains theirs and…

The problem is when you accumulate absolutely everything behind one specific set of armor.

While the games industry has it worse than many others, most of the things wrong here are indicative of American workers’ rights (or lack thereof) in general. Healthcare, notice, etc. These are systemic problems that aren’t specific to games.

It’s actually kind of amazing how they’re doing literally everything wrong

Correction: it would be amazing if it were any other company

I’d like to say I’m shocked

It’s his country’s fault that he doesn’t have healthcare, and his country’s fault that the mentally-ill shooter (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jacksonville-florida-shooting-suspect-madden-tournament-history-of-mental-illness-2018-08-27/) was able to legally obtain the weapon. Maybe he should sue the government, instead…

“beat the game”

“actually have them impact the story”
