Since there's hardly any blues anymore, R&B usually goes the way of its contemporary form. Though that bass guitar in there is very much bluesy.

I don't think you even know what R&B is or was, so I'm gonna point you to this and this.

I didn't read up on what he said until just now, seeing your comment.

Yeah I knew for a fact that 3D was out of the question, and I'm not even casually playing around with it at this point so I'd be building it out for the kinda-maybe-in-between-the-100-other-things-I'm-doing. But yeah even for photo AND video it'd need a decent graphics card and processing power/RAM. But I'll continue…

This is pretty enticing. I want to go all-in on a rig and build it out for photo/video work, sofware/web dev, 3D modeling (game dev) and maybe some music stuff. But of course that won't get me the small footprint I'm looking for — which I know is silly if I wanna do all of that — so I'm wondering will this be able to…

Your statement was you paid for "half of one." They never promised you anything more than what you paid for. So you paid for the full game, that was offered to you.

Hardly. They told you what you were paying for, well in advance.

Is everyone on the damn internet collectively having buyer's remorse or something? What is with all of these articles about the "slow-starting" "un-future-y" next-gen? Did you not expect this to happen? Have we all forgotten that video games take time?

Why? Because games take years to make and a port isn't easy. The Last of Us gets a port because it was started on when developing for PS3. The other, bigger AAA games get a port because they're first party, and every developer doesn't have that option.

Yeah, no. The X1 version runs at 60fps.

Was this always a PS4 exclusive and I just didn't see it? I am so sad right now. fffffuuuuuuuu—

How Freudian of you.

It's not getting removed. Get over it.

Memorable Quote from Employee: "The Xbox One has too many bells and whistles for me. I don't need voice controls and all the apps—I just want to play games. I can tell more people are going PS4 because during the holidays we'd get shipments of both, and the PS4s would sell out immediately."

...that wasn't the point of this at all. She specifically said she liked it for social reasons. So you're being the ridiculous one.

I don't know where you've been, but video games have always been spectator-and/or socially-oriented. So someone wanting to do any of those things now is not a surprise.

"A bigger phenomenon than smartphones" would mean it's gonna have to grow exponentially within one or two decades (which I don't doubt) to a point where it's practically ubiquitous in the first world (which I kinda doubt), and at the point of ubiquity, it being the fuckin' Matrix. (which is so, so sci-fi, and doubtful…

Awesome. Now where's that copy of GTAV I had?

Snowdrop's better anyway.

Just a little bit of FYI, this isn't just done at Microsoft. A lot of large tech companies ask that their employees' ideas/tech projects either get their approval (say if you were to seek compensation or start up a small business) or stay in-house. And it's less a matter of being stifling for the sake of it, and more…
