This reminds of the time I first played Metal Gear Solid 2, and how awesome it was when the enemies reacted not only to being shot, but where they were shot. Totally blew me away at the time, and more games need that kind of feedback.

Ugh, this reminds of back in the day, when people were demanding First Person perspective for Little Big Planet so they could make FPS levels, because nothing is fun unless you can shoot at it, right? No way, some games need peripheral vision (i.e. a third person perspective) to play. In Witcher 3, for example,…

I, for one, will never play Overwatch because I can’t stand multiplayer games... However, I can certainly see why he mentions it here, as it’s a good touchpoint for character design that many people can understand.

I still think that people have no idea what freedom of speech means. Youtube is not a government entity, and as such, they have a right to say what can and cannot be said on their website. If the government were to pass a law to force them to not “censor” things... it would actually be impinging on YouTube’s freedom…

Plex’s lack of support for commercial skipping and their abhorrent fast-forward/rewind interfaces make this hugely unappealing to me. I use it to stream my ripped movie collection (yes, legal!), but I’ll still to my older but far more awesome PVR software.

As a perfectionist... I have no idea what I’m supposed to be seeing in those pictures.

Not that I’m really considering getting into VR (Until proven otherwise, I still see it as another expensive fad), but why on earth should someone go for this thing over a google cardboard setup?

It’s not an app, it’s built into the OS if you have Android 6.0 or higher. :)

Check out ForceDoze, it will let you do just that. If you’re not rooted, it will require an ADB command, but it’s pretty simple (a little googling will get you what you need for that.

I second this! I will add though, that it can work without root with a simple ADB command for those of us who don’t have the option to root. The biggest gripe I have with doze mode is the requirement that the phone be sitting still for a huge amount of time before it kicks in. Just because I’m driving or walking…

No, I’m pretty sure this is one of those that is only available to Nexus devices, much like Google’s phone app. I get the same thing.

I’ve got to wonder if there will be another GTA game. They promised DLC for V that never came and instead have just been releasing stuff for GTA online. Which is a shame for guys like me, who hate playing online.

I hear you, but I also don’t miss the days when what was coming and going was kept a big secret and it wasn’t uncommon when something just disappeared from your queue.

That’s true, I hadn’t remembered that, but now that you mention it, I have seen where cops have coerced people into believing things that weren’t true during interrogations as well. Good times, right?

The real attraction would be the VPN connection to make it more “secure”, I imagine. However, how secure your connection would be when it’s being funneled through a VPN controlled by the world’s biggest advertising corporation is pretty questionable if you ask me. It would protect you some when you’re on an…

The real problem if hypnotherapy is that it is very easy to manufacture memories of things that never happened. The biggest example is the repressed memory fad in the 80's that landed many innocent people in jail.

Ugh, it uses your phone number though, this is almost useless. They need to support 2fa apps like Google Authenticator or Lastpass Auth, etc. It’s more than trivial to hack a phone number to receive SMS messages.

No kidding. The Witcher 3 is the first game I’ve played that is significantly improved over what it was when it was released because the company continually released improvements beyond just major bug fixes. Just compare the inventory screens from first release with what it’s like now. I love those guys and can’t wait…

You mean, having Bill Gates build a wall around the Internet.
