Another day, another distraction.

More than a little skeptical about this; as usual, the Xeon processors are designed for server/heavy workstation use, and require a socket and chipset that consumer-grade boards don’t use - they’re not going to be the core of any gaming rigs (save for the rich folk who’ll build an entire server rack to play Doom with…

It’s kind of silly, really. Secure DNS settings should almost certainly be built into any browser (except/especially where prohibited by state-sponsored service providers), but I can’t imagine it would be too much work to check if the user is already using an encrypted service.

The game doesn’t have to be good, or memorable. It’s already gotten the attention it seeks by having major sites talking about it; that’s all it needed to do. KFC’s getting a bucketful of free advertising from sites that have little or nothing to do with marketing alleged foodstuffs, all for the low cost of paying…

Most importantly, if it takes 10,000 years for a supercomputer to check the answer a quantum computer produced, how do you know that the quantum computer got the answer right in the first place?

He admitted the costume was racist, saying: “Yes it was. I didn’t consider it racist at the time, but now we know better.”

Calling Stallman a ‘former MIT professor’ understates who he is just about as much as calling Jimmy Page ‘a guitarist from London’. He is (much like Page) a jackass and a creep, but there’s also no denying that he’s a household name in CS and software development communities.

I was largely indifferent towards this until I decided to boot up GTA V... and it forced me to update to the new launcher.

Sort of a overhead-camera action game, like classic Zelda or Gauntlet, but quite a bit more basic. Seemed more focused on defeating enemies to progress than any sort of puzzles, but honestly I’ve never actually played it.

Megami Tensei first arrived on Western shores with Revelations: Persona in 1996, and its popularity has only grown from there.

TimeSplitters 2 had a handful of retro-styled games that could be played on the handheld terminal, including Anaconda, a slick little Snake clone with some of the best music on an already-excellent soundtrack.

I can really feel the care and dedication that went into this announcement; thank you for sharing it with the world.

For what it’s worth, ZTE phones (and probably Nubia) are security nightmares. I bought a cheap Visible R2 (a budget ZTE phone) to poke around at, and it’s just a mess of bizarre choices. The bootloader is so basic that it’s designed to report that the device is always un-tampered and in a verified boot state despite…

Impossible to beat compared to what, exactly? It’s a decent lower-midrange phone, but at $700 everyone else in the market is laughing.

Probably accidentally turned on the battery percentage indicator on his iPhone and spun it into something his ego could understand. Expect further tweets as the day goes on, as he insists reports of his dropping poll numbers are FAKE NEWS.

It’s definitely closer to a lightweight Persona game than a FE game, and feels more like it was aimed at getting J-pop fans into RPGs rather than something for fans of SMT or FE.

What are the odds that they don’t fuck up the localization this time? I’m fine with subtitles as long as they actually subtitle everything, but taking a hacksaw to an entire chapter was just ridiculous.

Now hold on a minute, good sir, it’s totally not gambling.

Honestly, Ice Lake should’ve been the best opprotunity they’ve had in a while to rebrand and simplify the whole line - a fresh lineup with a new manufacturing process and halfway-competent integrated graphics. With model numbers going from 3 digits in the first gen to 5 digits and a handful of postfixes by the tenth,…

Ah, yes, based on Mario’s infamous Justice League appearance.
