I think it’s a lost cause. Essentially both crypto and AI were big because someone figured out how to offload shit to a GPU efficiently. There’s probably a ton of other appllications for GPUs we haven’t even tapped.

Both Real IDs and passports are the premium options, you pay extra to have them.

I played Saint’s Row 4, does that count?

Gummy bears are also flammable, so this all tracks.

Was it a blue elantra? Just turned mine back into enterprise for tire leaks. Maybe they didn’t fix it and sent it back out.

This is literally why people spend $500 on a switch 2; it has the only arcade racer on the market worth playing. If you don’t want a single-game console or Mark Kart isn’t whst you’re looking for, tough luck.

I love the implication here that disposable batteries are good for the environment.

As someone who lives at an altitude above 50ft, most cookbooks always kinda sucked out-of-the-box.

If you asked me to name a major gameplay innovation in the last 5 years, I literally couldn’t. Clair Obscur won a fuck load of awards for doing basically what Final Fantasy did 15 years ago, but not completely losing the plot. Hollow Knight blew everyone’s mind for making a decent Metroidvania game. Balatro made a game where you make a series of combos that people have been making for over 200 years. You don’t need fancy gimmicks anymore to be considered good, you just need to be good. Major publishers waste their time because they don’t know how to put “be good” on a spreadsheet.

As the readme states, you can’t actually compile the source code. The compilers are lost to time and it’s from a very obscure, proprietary fork of an obscure language. Essentially, this headline should read “Microsoft owns code not even their engineers could comprehend, so they released it for free since they couldn’t possibly make money from it”.

That’s the point. It doesn’t matter how many middle layers there are, if you’re using a web browser, there are hundreds of pieces of information that can still be used to uniquely identify you. Do you have WebGL enabled? If so, you could be identified with 100 constantly changing proxies.

Good thing cloudflare is only used on half of all websites, otherwise this would be a major outage! Let’s keep centralizing our services though!

I would have voted for Icarus.

Make no mistake; the people selling server time will be making money. They are selling a real product to a real customer, it’s just the customer is a tech company that will never make money back in turn.

Intelligent people are worried about the blackmail context of the emails, but intelligent people never supported Trump, so this is just another reason to hate him and a new reason to be worried. Among Trump’s core supporters, homophobia is a critical issue, it has always been a major topic for the Trump admin. Previously the Epstein files were just about pedophilia, and conservative states have always taken a softer stance on the topic with things like child marriage.

There may be more important things to the story, but where voters can be swayed, the big story is “Trump did something gay.”

But I was promised that service guarantees citizenship!

Half Life 2 was about 5 years too early to be considered “basically beyond imptovement”. The graphics are a little dated now, and maybe the gameplay is a little simpler than a modern FPS, but ultimately it’s pretty close to the mark. I haven’t been surprised by FPS mechanics or graphics in 10 years, so there’s basically no way for Half Life 3 to surprise us. Dishonored 1 and 2 were basically identical. If you told me the second one came out immediately after, I’d believe you.

Dishonored nailed a neat trick: If every game dev stops innovating immediately after you release an innovative game, your game will always be considered highly innovative.

His career’s been in freefall pretty much since he got elected, so nothing new there.

I recently tried Fallout 4 based off of the same expectations. Probably didn’t even make it a quarter of the way through the main story. I was having absolutely no fun. The thing that finally killed it for me was spending 5 minutes calculating which items needed to be sold at a shop and which I should keep, then getting blown up a block later, then respawning right before I did all that inventory management.
