Hulu does it, but it is definitely a minority. Maybe he’s thinking that they won’t want to charge as much as they’d need to charge to make it profitable so they’d stick ads in there to make up the difference...?

I’m thinking he means Google Fiber, the ISP. AFAIK, they have no data caps. They’ve also completely abandoned their existing customers and any plans to expand so....

Seriously. I use PS4's remote play sometimes to stream a game to my laptop or desktop when the main TV is in use, but when I’m on Wi-Fi, even the fast 5Ghz connection, I know better to play any game that requires fast reflexes because the latency is bad enough to make it hard if not entirely unplayable and that’s over…

This sounds basically like every meal I’ve ever had with kids ever. “Sit down and eat” is said so many times that I might as well keep a recording of it.

What do you mean? The screenshots all just show her ass.

—I’m kidding. In the tomb raider days she’d be the only FBI (ahem, sorry, FBC) agent that shows up to work in a halter top and short shorts instead of a suit and tie.

Yeah, it definitely reminds me of both, but I’d say the building in this game feels a ton more coherent and polished than No Man’s Sky.

Eh, actually the survival aspect is not really a thing. Aside from running into some (sometimes, very dangerous) wildlife that doesn’t respawn, there really isn’t much to “survive”. It’s definitely more about building huge, crazy factories and automating all of your stuff.

No kidding - the funny part is that it is literally stated in the Bible that no one knows when it will happen, and that anyone that tells you otherwise is a liar.

No kidding. It still boggles my mind that people tech journalists are acting like this hideous and obtrusive design decision is some great feature that ‘lets’ you do stuff like this. Guess what I can do with my full screen phone? Have a wallpaper with a circle on it! And when I'm not looking at my desktop, that part…

Android TV replaced it, I believe... But it is also in a purgatory where it really only gets love from third-party apps (aside from Hulu, all of the other streaming services have been awesome about keeping their android TV apps up to date). I’m sure it will also get abandoned in favor of a new thing called Google TV…

With stickers! Don't forget the stickers!

Funny part is that I had no less than four people ask me about getting a switch recently, and I told all of them to hold off because there are new ones coming out that might be cheaper or better. Every one of them ignored my advice, which is fine, but it still amuses me that there is actually a better model and a…

My thoughts exactly. I use ublock to kill these... it doesn’t always work, but mostly it does - it’s basically a game of whack a mole until you find all of their different sources.

Yeah, absolutely agree on every point. Lost mine as my wife was pregnant with his first grandchild. My last conversation with him was telling him that it was a boy. Anyway, my condolences too.

This is very true, even though my dad left nothing in this world but love and memories. My mother and sister’s behavior when it happened didn’t surprise me, fortunately, but it did make it profoundly sadder all around.

Honestly? It really does. The only real way I get any decent length of time to just sit down and enjoy a game is if I stay up late on a Friday night and just sacrifice sleep. Anything that requires that me to push 40-50 minutes to get to the next check point and not lose my progress tend to be a bad idea (although…

I was surprised at how much I loved that game despite the weird bugs and stuff. My particular favorite would be the times that npc’s wanted to make a change of scenery and rather than wait for a shuttle to fly them, decided to walk 100 miles across the Martian landscape and then die of starvation on the way.

“Oh were you using that? My bad, bro. Did it hurt?”

Yeah, I was excited about the idea of a ninja game, but not if I have to spend my already limited gaming time swearing and dying.
