I’ve been an iPhone user since the start, and I’m considering getting a Pixel instead next go around because of Apple’s restrictions on these services. I’m sure there are others.

You would have really loved what we were working on at Visceral, then. Unfortunately, EA doesn’t believe anything without Jedi will sell.

“If we are allowed to see people get chopped up in the films, why not in games?”

Wow, I never thought I’d see something I worked on get an article on io9. Thanks for the write up Germain! I was one of the Lead Artists for Ralph Breaks VR, I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

I worked with Walter at Visceral Games. Say what you will about EA as a corporation, but everyone at Visceral was dedicated to making the best possible Star Wars game we could. He cared about the project and truly believed people would love it. He was laid off, as were the rest of the team, back in October.

The simple answer is that collision and two sided rendering are expensive. If the vast majority of players will never see it, and aren’t supposed to see it, the cost for rendering that surface and processing collision for it would be an unnecessary drag on system resources. PUBG is already unoptimized and plays poorly…

Whenever there is a discussion of fair taxation, why is this always the response. Yes, we want to tax you 100%. Give us everything you worked so hard for, all your sacrifices be damned. We want all of it, we’re going to put it in a pile and let homeless people fuck on top of it.

Smaller studios are putting out excellent games, but not at the same scale or complexity of something like Destiny 2. Management is an issue, but it is not the main issue, and it is disingenuous to state that.

I flew WOW to Iceland earlier this year - with checked bags and reserved seats it was about $350 a person round trip. Next best option was $1200 on Icelandair, which included a layover.

Yes.

Why is Michelle Yeoh cosplaying as Rey?

The Aukey is a power strip, not a surge protector. It will not protect your home theater or computers if overloaded. You might want to make an amendment to the post so that users aren’t confused.

Yes, they do. I have the Showtime subscription on Hulu for Homeland, and I’ve kept it for Twin Peaks. Afterwards I’ll cancel it until Homeland starts up again next year. Episodes are usually posted at the time they air in EST, so I was able to stream Homeland usually around 6pm or so.

As much as I might personally agree with this sentiment, I find it’s ultimately pointless.

It’s not a glitch, it’s just a bad art asset.

It’s a couple of different things, but the quick version is that Amazon was purchasing the right to modify and then redistribute CryEngine as its own engine, Lumberyard. While the majority of Lumberyard is still CryEngine, it has some specific changes and integrations with Amazon cloud services.

Because the “wish fulfillment” of Pokemon is to the be the best trainer there ever was. That means competing with your friends and strangers. When you’re just competing against NPCs or battling someone online, it doesn’t have the same weight. Imagine challenging thousands of other players while working your way to…

In many cases, many gameplay functions can be tied directly to frame rate, most often physics and cloth simulation. Sometimes if those are tuned to a specific frame rate, such as 30FPS, uncapping the frame rate can cause physics objects or cloth to break and act in unnatural and unintended ways.

Forgotten? Iceland is one of the most popular tourist destinations of this year.

But you’re contradicting yourself now.
