“We don’t comment on rumors or speculation, but here’s an ad for why somebody should buy us.”

Kitschiger Unfall is also a great name for a band.

Look, I could see somebody hold the opinion that crypto value is a minor influence largely overshadowed by other problems, but to claim that “there is no causation” is just plainly wrong. I mean, this isn’t even really in question, there is obviously a causal relationship, because crypto miners buy a lot of GPUs when…

I think what’s happening here is that both of these games will be set inside the same game, as two separate game modes. That’s the “Fortnite business model.”

Announcements of “serious, dark” versions of both of these games in 3... 2... 1...

You didn’t say “at launch.”

Yep, I was hoping for more of an Indiana-Jones-explore-the-world kind of vibe to these movies, rather than the grimdark, claustrophobic mess we got.

If the new Harry Potter game sells 5 millions across all platforms, in my opinion, that’ll qualify as a failure. Potter games consistently sold in the millions even in the PS1 and PS2 era, some of them selling over 8 million copies. Even the Lego Potter games sell in the multi-millions.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but Rowling’s behavior definitely was what pushed me over the edge, and killed any interest I had in seeing any of these movies.

Wow. I honestly can’t tell if this is serious, or a Poe. If you’re serious, dude, I’m so, so sorry, but you need to talk to a therapist. If this is a joke, well played, my friend. Well played.

By your logic, anyone involved in any type of sexual content is a pedophile, because guess what, children know how to use the Internet and find this stuff.

“and being an adult”

The two things you point out - the recall was triggered by right-wing antivaxxers, and Newsom is doing something bad - can both be correct at the same time. Reality isn’t a videogame where everybody is either a Jedi or a Sith.

These “upscaled” images look like somebody just ran them through a poor AI upscaler.

This is the first good news in 2022.

The big thing is that his mom got scared.

If you think that the Academy Awards had a work where the host gets slapped, the word “fuck” is said repeatedly, the Academy Awards officially condemn what has happened, and an incredibly famous actor’s win gets overshadowed by violence, you really have become entirely untethered from reality.

Huh, did you watch the same thing I did? The only person looking like a fool was Smith. Rock took the smack, barely flinched, and joked about it, and moved on.

My point wasn’t specifically about GT, I just used it as an example to illustrate what I was saying. But it applies generally: any game that has microtransactions immediately makes people suspicious that the game mechanics were changed to encourage buying microtransactions. And that inherently makes the game less fun,…

I don’t think it makes sense to look at this thing’s features, we need to actually look at how it is being used. Is it constantly docked, and somebody lives in there? It’s a house. Does it move around a lot and is only docked temporarily, and nobody lives in there when it’s docked? It’s a boat.
