If you look at people who actually have the wealth in liquid assets, they tend to actually be quite philanthropic. Most of the people we consider wealthy by media metrics don’t have as much wealth as it would appear.

If I could give you more stars for that Jason, I would.

Motherfucker, PLEASE. The book isn’t anti-autonomous cars at all. I fucking WISH writing anti-Tesla articles made one tiny bit of difference on book sales. It doesn’t. And I’m not anti-Tesla. But if this is your reaction to this story, perhaps you should seek out your clergyperson or a trusted relative. Maybe a…

While we’re at it, this media network should also be rebuilt from scratch.

5 to 10 people can immobilize a vehicle.  1 with a rock can bust out a window, then your iron cage isn’t do squat to protect you.

Good to see y'all are still cancel culture assholes at Kotaku.

They should lose the rye chip and mini breadstick and then bring back the bagel chip and peanuts. The peanut Chex Mix that’s out there right now is like they added peanuts to it and then sprinkled peanut dust all over everything and it just doesn’t taste right. Every once in a while we’ll buy a bag of traditional then…

We aren’t, those aren’t assault rifles.

“Net worth” is irrelevant, since most of that is illiquid assets. Iwiński can’t exactly donate those 12 million shares of stock as-is - they’re useless to charities and researchers. And liquidating that much stock in one go would drastically undercut the value - it’d be going for pennies a share by the end, which…

There are no shipyards in America that can build a cruise ship. Zero.

And I wish you wouldn’t be a condescending dick!

What is the better solution? The only way to completely prevent this sort of scam is to make Twitch a closed site that no one can stream on without paying a fee, and that fee has to be high enough to make scammers look for something else, so it’d have to be big. Then we would get pieces on Kotaku claiming Twitch did…

Chrono Cross.

Steam has a de-facto monopoly, but Valve has never engaged in monopolistic business practices like Epic does. There’s a very large difference. Epic has shown very clearly that they don’t care about the quality of service gamers receive, and have no interest in competing with Steam on features on top of lying about…

At this point Kotaku has failed to recognize the actual problems with Epic so completely and frequently that it can’t possibly be an accident.

Here’s the monopolistic part of it... The DARQ dev was offered an Epic deal, They basically said “Nah, I don’t want to do that after I told my fans that it was coming to Steam. I’d love to also have it on Epic Store however in addition to the others so people can choose where they get it.” What was Epic’s totally not…

I’m with you on the looks, but man, I need the tinting to keep down on the friggin’ heat. A (good) sunshade gets you like 80% of the way there, but the tint really makes for a slightly acceptable vehicle after baking in the Phoenix sun for 6 hours.

It’s expensive, but the Wintersmiths Phantom has consistently produced perfect, large, clear ice spheres, seven at a time:

The term “long gun” typically refers to a rifle with a lengthy barrel for shooting at distance.
