Simply put, Microsoft put the “Memory Expansion” port on the wrong side of the system.

We need to cut funding for post-crime law enforcement and move that money over to crime prevention services, including welfare programs. If people want crime to go down, then they have to make sure that crimes of necessity... aren’t actually necessary for those people to survive.

Apoc is talking about horizontal, not vertical. The PSfive comes with a horizontal stand.

There’s also a reasonable logic to digital-only on the consumer perspective, even if it is absolutely a long-term disaster. Every game you play on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S has to be installed to internal storage anyway.
So if they’re doing that, then, “What’s the purpose,” the…

There are certainly Japanese people who take a dim view of their police and the rest of their law enforcement system. Sure, there are fewer murders, officially. But a whole lot of crimes don’t even make it onto the books (especially sexual assault and rape) unless the cops are certain they can get a conviction. And…

This one specifically? No, this is just the author drawing a direct connection where only very indirect ones exist.

It depends on why the former cop left the department. Let’s put it this way... there is such a thing as a good cop, but there is no such thing as a good retired cop (for one reason or another).
If the person left because they realized that, then probably not. Almost any reason not related to that? Yeah, they’re still a…

Unless it's their exploded viscera, anyway.

Corridor Crew. With all the AI pushing, it’s outright bizarre that anyone is willing to work with them.

How the fuck do these people still manage to attract industry insiders, besides top execs, to come in and talk to them?

Unfortunately, developers can very easily get super-specialized and just shit the bed when they try anything different. And Hyenas was an example of this, with Creative Assembly being very much an tactics/strategy developer that tried to make a shooter. (Yes, yes, I’m aware of Alien: Isolation. Shooting wasn’t exactly…

If the C-Suite’s salaries isn’t one of the options, it’s just a big chunk of gaslighting. I’d be surprised if cutting the salary would be enough on its own, but morally it should always be in the top three and should happen before ever considering anything below that.

It’s not just a matter of the efficiency of the device, but also of the power plant. I assume that it’s significantly higher because you can actually make use of additional power, and the waste heat itself (that can’t be eliminated, of course) can further be used for generation. It’s certainly not 100%, but I’m…

Anyone who has ever trusted Squaresoft or Square Enix to actually give a damn about correct English pronunciation of anything is a fool. They been doing this shit for decades for both important and unimportant things. (For example, look up the Japanese pronunciation of “Moogle.” And now you know why they’re so often sh…

Yeah, this is definitely looking for problems in the wrong places. There’s never been a need to make shit up with this clown show to make them look bad, so I don’t get why Ethan’s doing it.

using AI ... to reduce the effort required to make animation can open the doors for a lot of creators to actually have the throughput needed to exist in the online animation space without need[ing] the backing of a full production house or alternative content to fill the schedule gaps so that the algorithm doesn’t…

And worse, that McCain had those morals and balls is why he got fucking steamrolled, instead of merely soundly beaten. Modern Republicans (post-Reagan) don’t want a good or brave person, they want a shitbag that’ll dump their shit all over the “enemy.” Even though it’ll always spill over onto them.

Absolutely people please stop using that ‘R’ word. Nothing but a hateful slur, even while it’s the only word that I know of for the series of legitimate medical disorders.

GFWL itself didn’t provide server browsers, but the games themselves were supposed to. For example, Shadowrun did... for a while, anyway. Not sure how games like Street Fighter IV that didn’t use dedicated servers were supposed to work. (Shadowrun also has LAN support, so Hamachi is... a choice.)

When MS launched GFWL on PC, they charged for multiplayer access and got lambasted for it.
