The canal pilots work for the company that operates the canal, not for the shipping company. So if the canal pilots screwed up the navigation, they’re acting as an extension of the company that operates the canal, making the company liable for running the ship aground.

The dick pattern proves nothing. The GPS tracks are quite misleading as they only show the position and movement of the ship’s GPS receiver, not the actual positioning of the ship itself. As an example, here’s the direction the ship was actually pointing relative to the GPS track as the shaft of the penis started being…

That depends on the outcome of the investigation.

It doesn’t have to be sustainable. You just have to do it for long enough to get a large number of locked-in users. Then you cut expenses once you’re satisfied with the current userbase.

Keep in mind that Epic doesn’t have to keep doing the same thing for their strategy to pay off. At this point, they’ve given away a lot of games. Anybody who took advantage of that now has a potentially sizable library consisting of several quality games, and if they’ve actually made purchases on the store, then they…

Most companies don’t make their alpha builds publicly available at all, and these days the ones that do actually make their players pay for the “privilege” of being alpha/beta testers. They’re even allowing participants to record/stream gameplay, so people who weren’t selected still get to see the project in its…

Are Anthem’s servers shut down?

We’re talking about the kind of one-off challenges that not only won’t end up on leaderboards, but also likely will never be undertaken ever again, either by other people or even by the challenge runner themselves. Is that really “speedrunning” at that point?

That just increases the murder potential, I’d think.

It is supposed to be a bad joke...

The big name games get front page coverage on Steam, so they’re not exactly buried. As for smaller games (and even the big ones), I just rely on covwrage from gaming outlets, such as this one. I have hundreds of games from big names and small indies on Steam, and not once have I had to sift through the shovelware on…

Wow, after your comment I had to go back and look for the comic because I didn’t remember what it was. Turns out that my brain registered it as an advertisement the first time around, so I auto-skipped it.

Oh, FFS. I was a big fan of Shadow of Mordor, but was already annoyed enough about the loot box nonsense that had been put into Shadow of War that I wasn’t going to buy the game for more than $5.00, and even then that was only after the loot box crap was removed. I guess it’s time to cross the game off my wishlist…

Unfortunately, that’s worthless until manufacturers start adopting standardized form factors. On my last phone with a replaceable battery, I had to navigate a sea of counterfeits and shoddy knock-offs to find a quality 3rd-party battery. Eventually when that second battery started doing poorly, the 3rd-party…

Now suppose the “fanbase” took that advice and held the streamers accountable for their actions?

That’s because she did the hard part already. To stand up for what’s right and basically get disowned in the first place instead of just going with the flow, shows a great deal of character. She probably spent her whole life getting force-fed racist bullshit, and instead of becoming the next generation of MAGA because…

You’re overlooking the difference between a reset glitch and deliberately inducing thermal instability in the hardware, that in addition to the reset glitch could cause the hardware to malfunction in other ways that would not occur if the hardware were running under normal operating conditions. I don’t see how a…

But he DID mention Hades. He just did so somewhat negatively. ;)

It’s just a cartridge that plugs into the standard cartridge interface of the console. No actual changes to the console hardware actually occur. If intercepting the data stream is enough to count as a mod, then a device that literally alters the console’s components so that they work differently due to thermal…

That sounds fine to me.
