Game Pass is the ecosystem they are cultivating in gaming. If GP ever hit Playstation, that would just be a play to get more people into their ecosystem.

Its laughable to believe Microsoft wants anything to do with Bobby Kotick or honestly the vast majority of staff at Activision.

Wow, they could have at least given them a decent claw. This is scientific research, they’re not trying to scam kids out of their quarters on the boardwalk.

No need for the “I’m sorry” here, the take was absolutely wild

Yes, that is balanced correctly, the timeline is just compressed.

I already emailed the creator letting him know about this flaw, but you can also look directly at the javascript code and find the array which contains all of the possible “wordle’s” of the day.

I think the “aggressive promotional campaign” they mention here was entirely on Gizmodo as that’s the only place I’ve ever seen any mention of their products.  My grandma isn’t a regular reader here.

I’m here to add to chorus of people saying that setting it up beforehand is a terrible idea. Setting up your new... anything, is half of the excitement of getting a new thing. It’s part of the process. Maybe you like to just have an opened box ready to play, but you shouldn’t recommend that people do it as standard…

You can get five panels of 1-to-6 layer PCBs fabbed and shipped to you from China in under a week, for literally $2 plus shipping... And another $7 for a solder paste stencil.

You’re not wrong - I’m just spoiled, because unlike Anne Rice, Joss Whedon actually encourages fanfic based upon his works. Of course, you can’t sell your work and make a profit, but AO3 is filled with Buffy and Firefly fanfics. Some are really good.

Unions typically only negotiate *minimum* salary. It doesn’t make sense, and would be wildly unpopular with members, for them to set *ceilings* on what you can earn, and I’ve never earn of a union doing that. Performer’s unions like SAG, AEA, etc, actively encourage individual negotiation above the minimum.

That’s the thing about a collective bargaining deal: it can be whatever the union negotiates for. SAG, for example, establishes certain minimum levels of pay, workplace safety, benefits, etc, but obviously the average SAG member is not making, say, Matt Damon money.

Nah, don’t sweat it. Personally, I’m more into the hobbying aspect of it - building and painting - but the cool thing is there’s all different parts to latch onto. Some are more into the lore, some folks are all about hyper competitive gameplay, other people just want to hang out with buddies and throw some dice for…

Press X to Jacen.

Really not a fan of these gameplay trailers that are 99% quick cuts shot from angles the player is never going to see when they’re actually playing the game.

woo boy, this reads like a fucking reddit post.

You are absolutely terrible at satire, but if you’re somehow being serious... well, this article is bad and you should feel bad.

See ya’ next week!

Is this Kotaku or R/Halo?
