I can outdo all of you! I still call it New Amsterdam! Just because some jokers from Londinium decided to up and change the name doesn’t mean that I have to agree to it! By Jupi... er... Zeus, all these name changes are ridiculous!

Sure, it was a huge deal, but I would guess that a shitstorm of this magnitude was caused by the music industry discovering that unlicensed songs were available as part of the data.

Black Bruce Wayne vs poor Bruce Wayne would be an interesting litmus test, I think. You’re completely correct, of course, in that it’s the Wayne fortune that allows for the genesis of Batman. One could argue that Batman doesn’t always need to be wealthy to be Batman, but Bruce Wayne definitely needed to be wealthy to b…

“For another, the war emerged from the social conditions of the first half of the 21st Century.”

“Merely plopping a black person, or a gay person, or a trans-person in a role and saying “diversity” allows writers and studio execs and directors to get away with abject laziness.”

It’s also not something that everything has to address. You can tell a story about WWII that has real depth and meaning without dealing with the social ills of the time.

Considering everything else that’s being delayed, I can’t say that I’m too bothered. Glad for the communication, and hopefully the extra time waiting on hardware will give them a head’s up on fixing compatibility issues.

I would say that you don’t have to understand why people care about that. In one sense I agree with you - I don’t get the drive to have the specific, rarest of the rare Widget Card Fuzzy Whatsit Thing either. I can kind of understand it for something you’re already very invested in - baseball cards for your team is an…

NFTs are a way to enforce digital scarcity, they’ve just become a buzzword because people are silly.

Question for the author - why reply to clear misinformation? Why not just moderate away information that is clearly, objectively, dangerously false? Kinja comment structure massively amplifies any comment where the author chimes in, so to me this seems irresponsible.

“The vaccinated can catch it and spread it just the same as the unvaccinated.” That’s just objectively false. Let’s break it down:

Historically Netflix has done two things that I like - take a chance on shows that have been cancelled, and cancel shows.

Lots of people are talking about the legal ramifications which, I mean, sure that’s why this is a story in the first place, but from a human perspective he probably just wanted people to experience this thing he created.

Kudos to you for reinforcing positive decisions and highlighting companies working to improve work/life balance in the industry.

Exploitation isn’t a personal choice, obviously. That’s literally inherent in the meaning of the word.

You’re being very charitable by saying it “isn’t particularly true.”

Agreed - different situations require different solutions and what is and is not acceptable can be determined by an informed individual.

It’s especially pernicious with a game like The Ascent that’s put together by a small team - by positioning it against a divisive behemoth like CP2077 they’re effectively drawing that game into the conflict and inviting people to make The Ascent’s unrelated team a target. It turns what should be an opportunity to…

It’s a translation from their financial officer talking about the financial report, so perhaps the “dunk” on Cyberpunk 2077 wasn’t as pointed as some might want to imagine it to have been. Also, CP2077 is a notable example of what can go wrong when a project is rushed due to financial motivations, so I would say that…

If this thing could turn into a little Blender Box that would be great. Toss Blender and Godot on their and you’ve got a little mobile indie game dev deck. Run the Godot editor and debugger on an external screen and run the game on the Steam Deck - could be a great little demo unit for small teams.
