I always skip opening cutscenes if they don’t let me to go options before starting the game and to turn on the cutscenes. I guess their opening cutscene wasn’t important enough for me to enjoy then. Options always come first in a game. It is rather annoying when the game starts AUTOMATICALLY before I have been able to…

The lore reasons are just a backwards way of justifying it. In reality, it’s because Ingress portals are supposed to be unique landmarks. Statues, parks, churches, etc. Sometimes commercial businesses were made portals, but only if there was something somewhat unique or interesting about it.

This is excellent. Thank you.

Red Dead Redemption 2.

I think Olen’s point is being seriously misstated with poor effect—it isn’t specifically about a Starbucks latte, it is about considering the long term effects of regular indulgences that you delude yourself into thinking are minor. The headline (and the rest of the press around this from other places) seems to have a…

I love the Tommy Bahama chairs. They’re backpacks, which is a feature I didn’t know I needed but now absolutely can’t live without. Come with a pillow. Wide seat which is great when kids are piling into it. Cup holder. Zippable cooler thing in the back. Sturdy and holds up to a lot of abuse.

If X-Wing is a knife fight on a dance floor, Armada is 1000 guns at 1000 paces while sipping a nice cup of tea.

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could make that joke you didn’t stop to think if you should.

I’ve added the steps to the text.

Maybe I’m old school, but I absolutely detest video journalism. Nothing against your attempt, Mr. Klepek, but I believe it to be an evolution the needs to be un-Darwined. I enjoy Kotaku because it’s one of the few geek sites that still write way more often than they make a video. I would’ve loved to read the article,…

This line has a setting to control how aggressive the local dimming is. Personally I found it too noticeable until I turned the brightness down. Now it’s perfect for me. Before scene changes between light/dark (like going from a movie to a commercial) were outright jarring.

To me, the picture is absolutely great, no quirks overall that I can see at all.

Someone should make a taxi/limo-like option for a minivan: a partition you can close that seals off the passenger area behind the driver. Make it sound proof with a camera and screen the front seat passenger can monitor in case it becomes Lord of the Flies back there.

It should also inform children that every interesting attraction that’s being passed on the way is closed and will never open again.

The caption says they're students. Maybe it's their first day? :)

One word: Amazon.

I like how Witcher 3 did it where it was kind of optional. Either you pick all these flowers you pass the whole time or when you find something you need you just go visit the alchemist and buy it. That respects all styles of gameplay.

They are lucky they are in market that doesn’t have enough appraisers, and most are reaching retirement age. They have actually been turning away work that they normally would have accepted in the past, and have been working a ton. In a decade, they expect their fees to be much higher than right now due to the…

The best wallpaper is paint.

In settings go to general then spotlight search. There you can select/deselect which apps Siri looks to create suggestions from. This helped improve my results a lot.
