The mortality rate of the flu is 0.1%, while just in the US COVID-19 is at 2.6%. The only reason the flu kills so much people is because it infects too many. Now COVID-19 has a transmission index twice as large as the regular flu, so if we let it spread like the regular flu you’ll be looking at 1.2-3.2 million people…

Every single JRPG should have a turbo button nowadays. I mean if you’re going to make me grind and do 500 identical battles against ramdom monsters at least let me speed through it. Since usually it’s all about walking back and forth, getting an encounter, pressing one button repeatedly to attack until the battle…

Yes, but did your mom threaten you to send you to a prison if you disobeyed her and then torture you and harvest your organs?

I’m a grad student at the University of Illinois and they started putting up signs about free tuition for low income Illinois students and at the time I thought: “Wow, that’s awesome for them”. But obviously I was being naive not considering immoral people wouldn’t find a way to abuse the system just to save money on…

I mean it’s pretty obvious. Money. If a company offered me to wear the headphones and they pay me a good amount of money per month just to be using them while I stream I would jump on it.

Actually your 4k monitor has 17.28 times higher overall resolution than 800x600.

We’ll start to see jailbroken Tesla if a software change can upgrade the vehicle.

I know people from reddit got pretty riled up about Blizzard’s mobile game announcement. But you cannot criticize the people attending Blizzcon and voicing their frustration. The majority of the people attending that announcement are very big Diablo fans who paid for the ticket, transportation and hotel to be there.…

I find Japanese single malts to be the most pleasing single malts in the world. I’ve not met anyone that did not thoroughly enjoyed a glass of Yamazaki 12. It’s my favorite whisky by far. It strikes the perfect balance between nice flavors, aromas and smoothness.

Insecurity is not the issue. Imagine you are a famous streamer and you decide to stream with a female friend. And then the rumors begin, but you’re fine just ignoring them. Now some trolls starting photoshopping stuff and making fairly believable lies about your relationship. And then some stupid media outlet picks up…

Hey Kirk, can you let us know if the game has 21:9 resolutions available as well?

It was either being able to “return” a game and get your money back, or get amazing flash-sale deals. Steam went with the former.

Pocahontas?

This is very complicated situation in my opinion. On one hand we can consider it a fan contest where the fans can also win money if their art gets accepted. On the other hand you have to consider that this is taking the work which should go to designers and artists (which already have a hard time finding good paying…

Crazy. I thought Yamazaki 12 would be the first to vanish completely. When I was in Japan in 2015 it was the sold out in most of the Tokyo metropolitan area. I had a friend buy it in Chiba and bring it to me. It’s my favorite Japanese whisky, but I’ve never had the Hibiki 17. Hakushu is also pretty good, but to me…

Many of your counter examples cannot be done by children. I think the biggest issue is “showing” children how gambling/playing chance games(or whatever you think it should be called) is fun and rewarding. This can potentially instill addiction and other mental issues into children without them realizing it. And, since…

“Attack on Titan is about the last remnants of humanity trying to defeat the mindless, man eating giants that ravage their world.”

Seriously, that’s how you respond to a comment on your own article?And a fairly constructive comment in my opinion, albeit very critical. Makes one wonder if you actually wrote the article or just hired someone to do it for you. If you can’t take criticism you shouldn’t do journalism.

It’s pretty sad that the 1TB MX300 is $238 now, and that’s called a best deal. Last year’s Black Friday I got the 750GB MX300 for $99, now that was a deal. SSDs and RAM are too overpriced due to high demand from mobile industry, this cannot even be called a deal.

That Delta story is bullshit. The parents were technically using more seats than they had payed for. They changed their eldest son’s ticket to an earlier flight and still wanted to use his former seat on the flight they were taking. It sounds to me like they were trying to game the system to get a seat for their…
