YSK the full scope of the recent US presidential immunity decision
  • The left still thinks we’re in 1968 fighting for rights with mostly peaceful protests. We’re in 1938 and we’ve already lost.

    "Evil always wins, because good is dumb." - Some moron in a helmet

  • Author who recommended killing Palestinian journalists receives German ‘peace prize’
  • You imply that Obama had a direct hand in the decision. Instead, the US military fucked up, and Obama issued an apology.

    That's a far cry from writing an article recommending the bombing of Palestinian radio stations.

  • D&D's lead rules designer admits he changed some spells because of how 'painful' and 'excruciating to cast' they were in Baldur's Gate 3
  • Opens article, Ctrl+F, "True Strike", zero matches found.

    Lead rules designer needs to listen to his audience.

  • Is social media fuelling political polarisation?
  • Really burying the lede there.

    If the headline is a question, the answer is always no.

  • "Metal Gear is dead, and you killed it" - MGS3 remake producer shares the "honest opinions" fans have sent Konami about the revival
  • Konami, as a video games company, died the day it fired Kojima.

    I'm no Kojima fanboy, as the guy is all over the place on story and structure. But, Konami made that decision in favor of pachinko machines, so that choice gets to haunt them and disgrace them as a company for the rest of its life.

  • Thanks! I hate it!

  • Trump Used "Palestinian" as a Slur. Biden and Debate Moderators Didn’t Say a Word.
  • This is a pretty ironic posture, coming from somebody who uses "1984" as their username.

  • Poor Sega just didn't get the timing right.
  • A vast majority of the public didn't do this or know how to do this.

    It failed because the PS2 was dominating at the time, and Sega didn't know how to launch a console, even if they had a gun pointed at their head.

  • Poor Sega just didn't get the timing right.
  • I love my network pork! Tastes like bacon!

  • Video Gabe
  • SSH as a sudo replacement
  • …I feel like openssh has a much larger attack surface than a simple binary.

    Right. This is just trading one set of security pitfalls with a second, much worse set of security pitfalls.

  • I miss console ads being this weird
  • No, the imagery was supposed to invoke the rave culture at the time. Lots of men, women, boys, and girls doing X, and the pills usually were white like that.

  • I miss console ads being this weird
  • Bottom line is it FUCKING worked. The PS2 sold like toilet paper.

    You really didn't need the ads. PS2 absolutely dominated because they were the ones with the all of the huge publishers. Sega, Nintendo, and Microsoft couldn't hold a candle to the sheer amount of great exclusives. It was only when Xbox 360 and later the Wii came out did the console wars start to shift.

  • RIP to the most noncredible tank commander of WWII
  • I told you, man! You gotta chill with those negative waves!

  • Useless Joker
  • Yeah, this is a scaling joker, which means you need to play sub-optimally (and with bad joker orders) to trigger the effect as much as possible. When you get to endless mode, you drop the weighted clothes, and suddenly, you're hitting millions of points.

  • $843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players
  • This is just a description of a standard business model. Most percentage-based revenue or sales systems have lower prices for higher quantities.

    It's called the "bulk discount" for a reason.

  • Deleted

  • I wish it would combine comments for crossposts. It doesn't have to break per-server instance bans or anything like that. Just combine the comments for servers that are friendly with each other.

  • A follow-up to the legendary Disco Elysium might have been ready to play within the next year⁠—ZA/UM's devs loved it, management canceled it and laid off the team: 'For a while it seemed like miracles
  • I think the old ZA/UM developers still have a chance to reform as a new company and work on something new. After a while, this new company can buy off the remains of a now-defunct ZA/UM, get back the rights to Disco Elysium and the Sacred and Terrible Air universe, and make another game or three for it.

    But, it has to happen now, and we need to stop talking about ZA/UM. Focus on a new project. I don't quite understand why we haven't heard any news about this.

    Is Kurvitz and team so depressed about the current situation to not attempt at picking things back up again? They have so much hype it's unreal. So, it's nowhere near as hard as just getting your name out there like ZA/UM and Disco Elysium, and it would never flop as hard as Sacred and Terrible Air. They've made it. They have recognizable names, and if they ever re-form, it would be all over the gaming sites.

    How Greed Ruined Gaming

    To most of us, this is probably just a summary of events over the past year or so. But, it's good to know that this sort of news is reaching non-gaming channels.
