I’d imagine if there was an anonymous live chat for say, the Super Bowl, it would look pretty similar.

And YouTube comments being particularly terrible? Say it ain’t so.

This is what happens when adults leave the room. A live chat is a terrible place to have a meaningful (or even a nice) discussion. Messages always get lost to other ones. So, trolls just use it to troll. This will almost always be the case.

oh wow a LoL chat is terrible? tell me more info we’ve known for years about the worst game community ever.

Early access is risky, hopefully you’ve learned your lesson and will avoid such games in the future. Sorry you got screwed.

On one hand I agree with you, but on another hand I feel like any time you buy an early access game you need to be willing to accept that what you’re getting at the time of purchase is just what it’s going to be, and that the money is less a purchase of a good or service as much as it is a donation. If you buy an…

What, you people don’t have topless dead goat parties?

It seems to be code for a command line. When you run the program it will prompt you for a command, one of which could be “h”, which would give you the help menu, which will describe three options: boot, net, and info. Sounds like a terminal that is capable of either connecting to a remote computer (the “net” command),…

uhm, weed can be vaporized so some vape enthusiasts ARE weed enthusiasts?

Well, people complained that MS wasn’t taking gaming seriously enough. They are going to own gaming soon if they keep buying everything.

YES! THIS. In researching this post I stumbled on this article:

Sometimes, a brand isn’t even a manufacturer (or is only partially one). A lot of the companies will source parts or entire products and just slap their logo on it. You can (legally) buy no-name products which are actually the exact same as the name-brand product, but removing the name somehow saves $200 on a TV. This…

Huh - we can probably do better these days. That’s definitely due for an update. Thanks for putting it on my radar!

I totally think it is. I’m sitting in front of a Macbook Pro and a Windows desktop that I built that’s sitting right next to it, and there’s an iPad and an Android phone on my desk.

But isn’t the “ecosystem” play a little bit overstated, though? I have a mixture of Apple and Google products, and they really do work just fine together with very little research/time/money/etc spent working on compatibility issues. I rarely find myself wishing I had all of one company’s products down the line.

Good integration and foolproof (literally idiot proof) design are the only reasons anyone should ever get a Mac/iOS device (unless you’re already invested into their ecosystem. I recently bought an iPad Air 2 (for development) after being on android for years. I can’t help but feel stifled by all the restrictions and…

That’s just it - what you’re describing are manufacturers, and they’re not even really that - they’re just brand names. Out of any of them, the only ecosystems in that list is, well, Apple - because they’re a hardware AND software company.
