Ahahahaha. Yup. We paid kotaku for this nonsense with our clicks. Who's laughing now?

Um. The internet is a strange place. I am not saying that you should, but I sure would not bet against "could".

Because "the internet".

Clearly. It's closer to 2/3 I think. ;)

Boy it’s grat that current technology has definitely always existed and applies to anyone’s story of anything ever. Also, if they didn’t look it up themselves, they didn’t want to know badly enough to find out, and you inserting yourself* to tell them says more about you than about their ignorance.

“Greeaat. Oookay. And you are...? Oh. You’re a professional reviewer. That must be a nice job.”

That looks fried to me, just not breaded and fried.

You must have forgotten what it’s like to get a ring sized.

I agree with all your points, but think your conclusion is a little too strict. If I could buy even a $500 pair of gloves that fit and let me feel fairly well where things were in VR space, I would be sold. No, it wouldn’t be in every living room, but a wide swath of VR enthusiasts would take a chance on it if they…

Maybe he could use some pointers fingering out how to do that.

Your friends.are idiots. For most people, the steam sale is a time to pick up something we aren’t sure is worth full price. If we can have some fun or get a sticker by hanging around, maybe checking out what’s new that we maybe haven’t seen, playing a game we already have or playing a free game then, hey, stickers are…

I love the spring cleaning events. It feels good to have some actual kick to say “Hey, you should play your games!". Also, it's easy. Play some old games, maybe some new ones, get digital swag (banners, cards, whatever). I mean, the prizes are no more meaningful than a sticker at the dentist, but they aren't less…

I didn’t know who this person was until last week. But now that I do know, I hope this kid’s parents take the streamer to court and ask, first thing, for a permanent injunction on streaming, or failing that, for one until the case is settled. If it were my kid, the paperwork would already be filed.

I have this vague memory of a just really brilliantly done Mac Hall comic, but there’s just no way I am going to find it now. Star Power is often good too: varied but still clear: I don’t need a line to guide me but I also don’t just get little boxes made of ticky tacky all the time.

I [brain+serotonin] this.

Enjoying sex. Women having sex is fine, as long as it's for baby making and nothing else. Or so it seems. I mean, I think we probably agree on this, I just thought I would inser... er, never mind.

You haven't explained it yet then.

What the F. I am to a point of almost going to defeat Gannon (all four divine beasts, master sword, over 100 soul orbs) and THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE HEARD OF HESTU!

It’s not that games don’t know how to use that many cores, it’s that they don’t tend to need 64 bits of calculation depth, so those processes are well handled by the [stops to count on fingers] several thousand 32 bit cores on most modern GPU’s. With 4k CUDA cores, 64 threadripper cores is in the margin of error.

I think that Microsoft, when they started getting into VR and realized how good Steam has been for them, realized that "collaboration" was the way to have their fingers in a lot of pies but not be on the hook for anti-trust litigation. They also are finally enjoying not being the biggest target for "big tech enemy of…
