No, kilo has always been 10^3. It has never been 1024. You're thinking of kibi which is 2^10.

People are misusing kilo when they mean kibi.

Actually he sounds nothing like that. The worst, most strident, misandrist feminists have nothing on the vile garbage that spewed forth in the name of gamergate because WE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT A REPUTABLE SOURCE OF VIDEO GAME REVIEWS and we’ll destroy whoever we have to to get it.

Cry me a river. There are real problems…

2/3rds of the country needs psychiatric care. 1/3rd would benefit from *in-patient* psychiatric care. Online behavior is a symptom. Push for state-funded psychological screening and counseling, mental hygiene education from preschool on up, single-payer healthcare that covers mental health issues so everyone has…

Its not necessary to cheese the werewolves; just pull one with a rock and get behind it. You can just keep whacking them from behind - their reaction speed is very slow and they are easy to dodge if they look like they are about to lunge at you. There are more of them later that are out in the open so you'll need to…

"There was never a space shuttle called the Millennium Falcon."

The Enterprise was the test-shuttle that didn't have engines or heat shield and was never actually flown to orbit.

So... Stargate wins because of the Atlantis.

Yeah, you're dead to me io9 and readership. Star Wars is a tired set of movies now being written by committee milking the IP for every last drop of marketing potential they once generated with originality in ANH and ESB, and Star Trek by all rights should have ended with DS9, but instead they parleyed it into two more…

Yes, everything, even a discussion of magic as portrayed in modern fiction, is a subtle attempt to prevent an ideologically pure conservative state from ever being created.

Thats okay, we don't have time to read that stuff you don't have the ability to explain.

Do you want a good bureaucrat who can organize people and lead a diverse hierarchical organization or an atomic physicist with a second Ph.D. in molecular biophysics?

I think it corresponds with the belief in magic among the general public fading. Magic / mysticism used to be much more commonplace, and people were willing to attribute anything unexplained to a mystical cause, so the idea that anyone could cast a spell / invoke mystical powers is not completely outlandish (ie., a…

No no no... you can apparently get more by running chalice dungeons.

Well, clearly if you're playing souls you're supposed to be hardcore to go to NG+++++++++++++ in order to collect all the maxed out weapons.

Um, its entirely possible to have self esteem, say based on things like say being a good person, provider, benefactor, etc... , and also proud of getting the high score on Missile Command. They are not mutually exclusive.

Until you run into a level 10 invader that is decked out in +10 weapons.

Farming items was never the difficulty in the souls games. It was the annoy in the souls games. And if you don't believe me, look to anyone trying to get the Pure Bladestone in Demon's Souls - the nicest thing anyone could do is duplicate one and give it to somebody in co-op and eliminate a completely pointless part…

Once you know you are done with the game and that platinum trophy for completing every little tiny bit of it beckons.

Hey, I got caught on the scenery the other day and the boss didn't restart the game and give *ME* a do-over. That stuff is fair game.

I don't think they are doing it on purpose; but I do think they write their inventory code in a really strange way. What worries me is bugs like this could point to their also being bugs that will *wipe out* existing inventory.

So it IS just like Demon's Souls!
