It certainly does. A good reminder that clicking through from the news report to the original post is often worth the trouble.

Very interesting. I never would have thought that an item-deleting bug could be caused by tampering with code governing the time stamps of quests. I wonder if it’s related to the curious UI for quests in Destiny 2, where quests are displayed as “items” in a “quest inventory,” rather than entries on a to-do list. I’ve… Read more

CPS schools are in fact open; they’re offering free childcare during regular school hours. They’re also offering breakfast and lunch, as per the usual for CPS. There’s no teaching going on, obviously, and I can’t speak to the quality of the activities on offer at every school, but my eight year old is enjoying… Read more

Of course, in Vanilla WoW, there was no sharding. When the server filled up, you had to queue to log in, and if excessive numbers of people tried to congregate in one place, the lag became brutal. I suspect every Vanilla Alliance player remembers entering Ironforge, hitting a lag spike, and falling into a trench.

Excellent. Little details can make such a big difference in usability; I’m glad to see GMG paying attention to inclusive web design.

As Dragonfliet said, you can probably jump in right now and have fun with the campaign and leveling to 30. The game is gorgeous, the combat punchy, and the flying very satisfying. There are definitely some quality-of-life issues left, such as bugged missions and excessive loading screens, but the overall experience is… Read more

Tonja is paraphrasing in the article. The exact form of the proposed question is: “Is this person a U.S. Citizen?” There are 4 “Yes” answers (3 different “born a citizen” options based on where born, 1 for naturalization which requires year of naturalization) and “No, this person is not a citizen.” Read more

I completely agree. It fits in with our society’s broad (and pernicious) tendency to downplay very serious crimes as “domestic matters.” As if committing a crime against an intimate partner was somehow less serious than committing a crime against a stranger.

Has this store been shamed enough to close their doors yet? Or does it not work like that in Australia?

You may want to keep an eye on MacRumor’s Buyer’s Guide - they track release cycles, product development rumors, etc, and make informed recommendations on whether one should buy or wait. Read more

Thank you for all your hard work, and for sharing your story with us. Our society benefits greatly from the courage of those who are willing to speak for those who are ignored, misunderstood, belittled, persecuted or disenfranchised. I wish you every success as you continue on your path forward against adversity.

Such a truly gorgeous game, with one very immersion-breaking problem...

I think you may have accidentally missed the [Nightmare Fuel] tag on this post, Luke.

I moved to Australia 18 years ago with my parents. I remember the day Dad came back from the dealership with our new car, and invited us all to come out the back and have a look. Mum hopped in the driver’s seat, and I took the passenger’s seat. As soon as we closed the doors, a giant spider, about six inches across,… Read more
