I’d love to be able to flip that around on them by refusing to authorize companies to commercially stream copyrighted content to me so that I can have them prosecuted for unauthorized commercial streaming of copyrighted material.

Easier for everybody. Blind people use words too, so they’re going to be just as affected when it comes to not using the word ‘blind’ “inappropriately”. Just look at the list of definitions posted by BlazeKingNJ. Between the four forms of the word ‘blind’ there are 15 main definitions, and many more sub-definitions.…

There may be no shortage of alternatives, but there’s also no shortage of alternate definitions for the word ‘blind’. It would probably be easier and make more sense to refer to people as being ‘visually impaired’ instead of ‘blind’, than it is to find alternate words for every other definition of ‘blind’, which among…

I had the same thing happen to me, except it didn’t ruin flight games for me. I used to play FPS games with inverted Y, and never had a problem. Then all of a sudden, one day my brain just refused to accept inverted Y anymore, and over the course of a week I ended up switching to normal Y. Fortunately, that only…

But in your camera on a tripod example, rotating the back of the camera left moves the lens right, and moving the back of the camera right moves the lens left. Why would inverted controls make sense for the vertical axis, but not for the horizontal axis?

It was much more than that. Right now it’s the world’s largest item of eWaste, which is considerably less flattering than pointing out its presence in games and movies.

Especially not the way it was presented in game. I mean, we’re talking about some kooky group that can barely keep itself alive claiming that they can cure the world—all they have to do is kill a child to do it. Their claims that they’d be able to cure humanity if they kill Ellie sounded like total BS to me. If…

Sometimes you don’t realize it interferes until after it’s started to deteriorate. Even in cases where it doesn’t affect function of the vehicle, it can get quite ugly. I’ve been in multiple cars with usable, but otherwise ruined displays because the clear plastic film was never removed, and eventually deteriorated…

Agreed. Based on images from various articles about the crash, I believe I found the site of the crash.

That doesn’t look like anywhere near enough front end damage for typical freeway speeds, let alone the sorts of speeds only a supercar can reach. I’ve witnessed far more damage than that from crashes below 65mph. Don’t discount the wedge shape of the Lamborghini when it comes to ending up under another car.

On the one hand, I absolutely agree with your point. One million failed consoles makes for a lot of potential complaints, even though the vast majority of people never experienced a problem.

I can kind of understand the complaint from the CRT days, as displaying a movie in its correct wide-screen format could result in a significant loss of detail due to the very limited resolution of standard-def TVs, especially for crazy wide ratios like 2.35:1. Also, TVs were often a lot smaller than they are now, so…

And given that the game has since been revealed to be a prequel, I’d argue that Beyond Good & Evil 2 has been canceled in favor of Beyond Good & Evil 0.

Keep in mind that plans likely started long before COVID-19 was on the radar of the typical American. By the time the pandemic became a major concern, commitments had already been made. And canceling months in advance doesn’t necessarily avoid penalties, because the owners of the venue can’t get back those months of…

Given that they announced the game would be a prequel, it’s been known to be a sequel in name only for years now. 

Oh, it does indeed have 12MB of RAM. It just happens to also have an additional 11.988GB of RAM beyond that.

And that’s exactly what they did. Sony replaced the Playstation with three subsequent lines of consoles, and a fourth line on the verge of release.

Looked at in that light, consider that the Witcher games are game adaptations of pre-existing written works. Cyberpunk 2077 is also a game adaptation of pre-existing written works. The difference here is that the books the Witcher games were based on were novels, whereas Cyberpunk 2077 is based on source books for a…

Over the life of the phone, insurance will cost quite a bit more than a decent case. Plus, insurance isn’t instant. Picking up a dropped phone that didn’t break in the first place is a lot faster than having to go the store to pick up a replacement or waiting to have a phone shipped. Given that my phones have been…

What really cracks me up with when someone buys one of the glass screen protectors, but doesn’t replace it when it saves the screen from a drop. If they’re willing to run around with a cracked glass screen protector until they’re eligible for a phone upgrade, why did they bother to protect the phone screen in the…
