It’s hard to describe how much better the google assistant is than Alexa or Siri. It responds naturally, knows everything, and controls home devices almost flawlessly.

Thank you for sharing this.

As someone who has designed (and is still designing) a game with complexity levels similar to this, that’s part of your job. If you don’t catch it, that’s bad game design, and based on the description, this is not a terribly difficult loop to figure out. Anything that automates damage (causing A when B happens) should…

Infinite combos are bad game design, no two ways around it.

In the British edition, yeah. In the American version (which was published first) it’s a dollar.

Oh I realize it isn’t just the micro transactions, but I was sort of using Turbine as an example of how WB gets what they want. The company I know as Turbine who made Asheron’s Call 2 (my first MMO I played and liked) and the original build of Lord of the Rings is no more. Most of the people and higher ups left. It…

I know getting black-out drunk in your early twenties is common (believe me, I know it from personal experience), but that doesn’t make it a good idea. Not only does “I was drunk” not absolve you of responsibility for your actions, it actually exacerbates the problems you’re not even aware you caused.

“... all because of her failure to properly supervise her class.”

I kind of wish 100% of teachers would just go on strike for a month. Maybe then people will stop holding them to such impossible standards and learn to appreciate how they have to put up with other people’s shitty kids all day long.

So... they fired her because she couldn’t successfully keep a student from invading her privacy? Why didn’t she think of the children?!

it is I, gay bias, here to be happy to have more options in a video game

Well, honestly, it’s a bit problematic. She’s furthering cisgendered hetero-normative tropes. If she’s going to consider herself a feminist, she should consider the intersections of oppression she contributes to.

Not a gaming system, but this was all I could think about when reading this article:

“Why would seeing a bad picture of me make other people feel good?,” she asks.
