I fucking love T Pain. And his voice is beautiful (Jump to 1:20)

Ugh that’s so pretty

The difficulty is such a bummer! I was *really* excited for this, but I’m really easily discouraged and typically don’t last long in punishingly difficult games, so this is probably out of the question for me. And then the save thing on top of that? Ugh.

What a fucking nerd. The chrono break reference was enough to make me swear off Riot forever.

You’ll be fine going there, they make a copy and laminate that instead of the original

Office Depot only laminates a copy of your card (they make the copy for you and then laminate it) which seems more prudent. Apparently lamination isn't great for preservation, either!

It’s getting a PS5 upgrade in a few weeks, unless they moved the release date up

FINALLY. Not enough GOTYs for this game at all. (totally serious)

No, this article was a ghost, an illuuuuusion

A) Teams paid millions of dollars to join the league, all with the promise of profits that would begin to materialize with live events. They don’t want empty seats. (And it’s way more than a glorified movie theater, they’re crazy and awesome tbh. Closer to a concert than anything else.)

The PS4 did this so simply (provided your TV had proper CEC); it’s sort of amazing that Sony didn’t include this at launch. Just another way that the UX seemed like it wasn't ready for primetime.

I’ve been using “find my phone” ever since I got the Home Mini... Was I just part of one of Google’s random tests? Or maybe there’s something different about this feature than what I’ve been using? Hmm.

It uses voice match, so it will only ring your phone if you're the one who asked. If your kids haven't set up voice match, it'll just tell them that it doesn't know who they are.

This is pretty exciting, if only because it suggests we might eventually see homestands return in the US. I went to two of them in DC, and they were simply amazing.

Source on Blizzard moving esports operations to China? I know about the layoffs, and I know about them partnering with Korean production companies for Contenders, but I hadn’t heard anything about outsourcing to China or anything like that.

For me, it’s capitalizing on nostalgia by keeping the bits that worked while discarding the stuff that was a technological artifact. Games that look like they did in my head, rather than how they actually looked in the 90s.

Like Albert Yeh said, not being out in public is part of why some teams aren’t experiencing this kind of abuse/harassment... Which means part of the Fuel’s “increased security measures” probably includes asking players to go out less. Really sucks.

A reminder that the president of the developer (both the original company and the new one) LITERALLY said this game isn’t political:

The game allegedly has a separate campaign which follows an Iraqi civilian trying to get his family out of the city. But I’m not particularly hopeful on that front, given that the developer has done nothing to market that campaign besides mentioning it exists.

I don’t think OP was suggesting that the military stops all recruiting, just that popular media as recruitment propaganda is no bueno.
