Their response to walk-outs, employee letters, and one day demonstrations, was to hire a known union buster. That’s not an act of contrition, that’s an act of digging in. It’s the equivalent of a government responding to protests about police brutality by sending the police to beat up the protestors. Clearly the…

Planes fly by generating “lift”. Lift is generated by the shape of the wings and manipulating how air travelling at certain speeds interacts with the wing’s shape. This is why planes can’t fly straight up. The flight sim takes this into account. If your plane stalls out, it is because your throttle (speed) is too low…

There is also some medical study into honey as an anti-allergen for pollen-based allergies especially if you can get honey from a local apiary. The theory is that somehow the process of making bee-vomit (as you so aptly put it) creates natural remedies to the same pollen-producing plants that the bee puked in the…

I had a day one HTC Vive. I have found that my preferences for gaming are really different when it comes to VR. Sometimes I want to be active, and game like Beat Saber or Audioshield are great for that. Other times, I want to sit down and relax, and VR isn’t the best for that. Some games like Rogue Squadron or Project…

I feel like the smart/easy thing to do would be for 3rd party M.2 manufacturers to work out a deal to add Playstation’s logo to the packaging of their M2 drives that are compatible.

Of the 10 million PS5's sold, how many are associated with active PSN accounts? Same thing with Xbox and Xbox Live accounts? You could also attempt to track sales of high in-demand games that released direct to PS5 (as oppose to a last-gen upgrade). If the direct-PS5 version of Miles Morales only sold 500k copies,…

I have played through the original trilogy countless times and just finished the legendary trilogy last month. I did a renegade playthrough once where I intentionally chose all of the “evil”, “authoritarian”, “asshole”, choices. I found it generally difficult to click the button for those options. I knew that it was…

There is a game called Hero Wars which also has insanely misleading ads.  The ads are for logic based puzzles, and the game has none of that.  However, some genius actually made an entire game based off of the ads called Hero Rescue which is mildly fun.

Since Genshin is 100% crossplay, I wonder if I can log in on my PS, to add her to the account, and then have her show up on PC/phone without having to wait for the 2nd rollout.

I got extremely lucky when I got my PS5 in December. Wal-Mart announced by Twitter that they would be releasing stock at specific 3 hour intervals on a specific day. I was ready to go at 9AM for the first stock drop, however, I didn’t have a Wal-Mart account setup and even though I had a PS5 in the cart, by the time I…

While you are correct that a rival company would be foolish to openly use the Frostbite engine since it’s stolen software, corporate espionage is very real. They may not be able to plagiarize the entire engine, but if a rival publisher sees that Frostbite was doing something better than them, they can learn from EA’s…

Ark, which is one of the most popular games on Steam is a HUGE install on PC. Easily over 110GB. Depending on mods, which a lot of people run, it can easily get up to 150GB.  I played the last few AC games on console, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if those also exceed 100GB on PC.

64GB internal storage on the lower model. Assuming some of that storage is for pre-installed programs, like an OS, that is next to nothing. I would say the average non-indie game on Steam takes around 40gb of disk space. When you start talking about some high end AAA games, you are easily over 100GB. Even with the…

I also find myself thinking about that scene from Tomorrow Never Dies.  “Yes sir, as requested it’s full of bugs”

If we wait 30 years, will it sell for $1.5 million?

Japan is willing to legislate this kind of thing, but how about loot boxes? You know, something that actually is harmful and akin to gambling?

Ubisoft tried multiplayer AC before in the 360/PS3 era, and it really didn’t go so well. The fun of the AC games has always been the unique blend of sci-fi and historical fiction while you relive key moments in history. When you enter into the fray of the Peloponnesian war from the eyes of Alex, it’s all about the…

I don’t have a problem with this. In fact, I wish more retailers implemented similar systems. Tying console sales to a membership program presumably helps combat bots, which is the main bottleneck. Playstation Direct tied PS5 sales to PSN accounts, and no one had a problem with it. Lots of stores prioritize their…

It’s like any other media market. There are thousands of books, musicians, actors, indie films, and artists of all types that have gone unnoticed for centuries. I would be absolutely willing to bet that if some director actually took the time to audition 100% of the starving actors waiting tables in LA, at least one…

I played the original MTG computer game and both expacs from Microprose back in the day. They were simple and fun. You walked around the world like an old school final fantasy game and engaged random mobs that would pop up and attack you. The fights were small card games where the mobs would have varying health pools…
