It does not make any sense. Hydro Québec, Québec’s nationalized power company, does not disconnect immediately on non-payment.

Subnautica is such a gem.  The story is pretty decent, the ocean is well done and the base building is really fun.  I usually spend most of my playtime making a base in every area the story leads me to.  The second game Subnautica: Below Zero is pretty fun too and its not just a straight up copy of the second one.…

Sure... add Element/Matrix to the mix. Microsoft buying Discord still isn’t a case of anti-trust.

The Capitalist consolidation of all corporations operating under less than five companies continues.

This is why we can't have nice things. 

God damn everything is either going to be owned by Apple, Amazon, Google, or Microsoft. When’s Microsoft just going to go ahead and buy Playstation already?

This is the case with SO much technology. It’s usually the things that work the best that you don’t notice. It’s only what’s broken that stands out. So people take for granted a system like this that works so hard to stay completely out of your way.

For sure; it’s a little hard to spin ‘ease of use’ as a reason to pick up a console (especially when it’s up against ‘whichever Sony exclusive franchise is your favorite’). I just think it’s funny that, what, two months after getting a Series X, my favorite thing about it is probably ‘how rarely I remember I’m playing…

Like Microsoft was working overtime to make sure you didn’t really notice the changeover in generations, which is... kind of thankless and boring in terms of…

One of Steam’s biggest flaw is how often devs are allowed to release broken games on that marketplace.  Valve has no policy in place that demands developers ensure the game actually works and only through an angry uprising will Valve actually step in and do something about it (see Arkham Knight).  This has been going…

Wait. So they released a better version on another platform but they’re leaving the Steam version broken? Why am I supporting this company again?

Good for the modder, they deserve it for a fix like that. Good thing it wasn’t a Nintendo game...woulda gotten sued instead of paid. 😏

What are the odds this “stablity improvement” is anything other than some kind of hack-prevention measure?
