Been following all day... I’m not sure about ALL usages of the word streaming, but the initial question that caused a bunch of hubbub was in response to WebGL versions of games.  Pretty much every time a web game is launched, it will initialize the player.  So simply refreshing the page could incur a charge.

They’re not talking about ‘broadcast’ streaming (i.e. Twitch), they’re talking about cloud gaming streaming, like Game Pass Ultimate, PS Now and Amazon Luna.

The extra ‘NICE’ thing about this is that now game installs are weaponized. You hate that a dev made a change in the game you don’t like? People used to review bomb it. Now just set up a script to install then uninstall the game all day long, and share that script with your equally frothing buddies.

“Dude. They will never ACTUALLY vote for you. Trust me...”

these commentors are so annoying, I liked the article

Said the person who’s never taken a life, nor likely had the threat of theirs being taken.

I can only speak for Mass Effect since I just played those, they are basically narrative action games with dialogue options. To call them RPGs is to do a disservice to RPGs in general since they are way too linear (with the exception of ME1).

Complains about a thought out article discussing an attempt to play a game in a non-standard way.  Kotaku commenters at their typical.  lol

RPGs are one of the few types of games where going for a pacifist run should at least feel doable. The fact that Bethesda has still not found a way to make that happen is odd.

“It’s their fault if they don’t want to work in order to eat, plus aren’t we already spending money on food stamps that they waste on Oreos or some shit like that?”

They manage to somehow recognize that the KKK is generally considered bad... while at the same time actively courting their votes.  It is a weird balance to be striking. 

The GQP’s entire foundation is based on racism. It used to just be a part of it, carefully hidden by dog whistles. But now racism is all it has.  It saddens me that so many people see racism as a hill to die on.

>> Don’t mean to be controversial but can you imagine (V)ivek Ramaswamy calling a mainstream Jewish politician he disagreed with a Nazi?

Frankly, I thought there would be more of an outrage over this. Calling or comparing any Black person to “modern grand wizards” and refusing to apologize or take back the statement is stunning. Let’s not forget that first and foremost the KKK was/is a terrorist organization whose primary target remains Black folks: …

This muffin issue is a problem with all competitors to the classic McMuffin. They try really hard to be a more substantial, possibly higher quality muffin that isn’t too crispy and doesn’t have any burnt edges. And that is why they fail.

That’s great, sounds like it’s good when you’re limiting it to summaries and scripts where the information is very black and white. I’m sure the more thorough your prompts are, the better the results.

Why is this a problem? If you want to only play the game with your friends, drop in drop out isnt going to prevent that

You seem to be missing my point. Dude is implying that that 30M was somehow squandered without noting that that money was made when Mr. Oher was under a conservatorship. Which means he wasn’t likely in control of that money so this is not a story about an NFL player going broke due to bad (or most likely nonexistent)…

Thank you. The implicit bias on these comments is so evident. It is coming from some that just relish in talking “ish”. In the 21st century that amount of money after, lawyers, agents and all other expenses...is nothing compared to the consequences of having your body punished every weekend. So much talk. Some missing…
