The rest of them only get 50% of subscriptions instead of his 65%. Streamers also make 1 penny per “bit” (so if someone donates 100 bits they make $1), though Twitch sells them for a surcharge (so that 25k bits would cost me $308 to buy from twitch, and the streamer I gave them to would get $250, though there is a…

Eh, but it’s so much weirder because of the dynamics. You don’t walk into the store, chat for three hours with the store owner while other people walk in and give them nothing or $100, etc. at seeming random and then have to decide how much to hand them. Retail is luckily “just” a percentage on top of the supply…

Yes, taxes are complicated, and when you get into the exact details, they are relatively time consuming (since you are legally required to be correct). All this being said, they aren’t actually that hard to make rough estimations on. For instance, you pointed out that charitable contributions can’t make up more than…

Oh my god this math makes me freaking angry. None of this is how that works. All of the money paid to charity, all of the money paid to moderators, all of that gets deducted from taxes (NOT from net profits). If he is paying 75k to mods, and donating 80k to charity, then that means that his taxable income isn’t 300k,…

If you have tried any “gaming” mice (which have sub 15ms response times—as opposed to other wireless mice which might have like a 30ms response time), it’s entirely in your head, I’m afraid. A friend of mine said something similar, so I had him use my wireless mouse without the cable attached and with it (except it…

I haven’t seen the new cut (and I’m still on the fence of watching a 4 hour cut of a bad movie so that it is upgraded to a decent movie), so I can’t speak to that at all, but I sort-of agree with you. I think that the level of hate that Snyder gets is over-the-top and wrong. That being said, I also don’t think his DCU…

I feel you, but I also think that you’re taking this as “real” rather than a few points with a large volume to them to look like they are fewer, and more “liquid.” To me, this is a VERY clever particle system, and not a “real” dynamic smoke calculation.

Oh, god, please. This is spoken by someone that has no idea how to run a business.

1) How is that optimism?

This looks great. I wonder what it costs (cpu/gpu performance wise)

I’ll play through the game again, but not until all the DLC is out. Some games are extremely replayable many times, some games are a good ride that you leave behind when you’re done. This is the latter.

Looks good, but why do I get the feeling that beardy and some of the other townsfolk will, at some point, don hooded cloaks and drone “the greater good”?

This is a completely different team. Dontnod made LiS, and LiS 2. This is Deck Nine, who made the prequel, LiS: BtS. 

I’m very happy with the controller, as opposed to the camera tracking orbs from the PS4, but why did they have to  stick that giant loop of plastic on the bottom? It’s really going to make storage a pain.

There area a few ways that their are wireless headsets.

1) Others have mentioned this, but this is where the IR lives

It is generally very easy to prove that someone that robbed a liquor store, which is a crime. The problem with inappropriate behavior, creating a toxic environment, is that it isn’t illegal and it doesn’t really leave much evidence. For instance, if someone says, come over, my wife isn’t home, so we won’t be…

What the hell are you talking about? She founded Motive, and Motive put out Battlefront 2, and began work on Squadrons while she was there. That the star wars game ended up not working is something that Kotaku wrote a huge long piece on, and the blame falls most on the Visceral general manager, Amy Hennig, and the…

So....uh, I did nearly the exact same thing, except I snagged the disc version (with spiderman and cod) and I would much rather have the digital version

I hope that this doesn’t sound flip, because it isn’t meant to be: the way you do it is be lucky. This is the same advice you give for any writer hoping for any kind of financial success in the book market, only you have to be luckier (because of all of the things that you mentioned). You need to write a thing that…
