I cancelled back on the first price hike they did. Just wasn’t enough for the handful of times I used it per year. They had me at the point where I kinda didn’t care I was paying, but the price hike gave me a wake up call. Since then they’ve continued to up the prices and I’ve continued to not give a shit. Netflix originally won me back from bothering to pirate stuff cause it was so good and easy, now the opposite is true in the streaming space.

One of them is no keyboard and mouse support on PC IIRC.

It’s already dead, please leave the corpse alone.

It is kinda sad given the legacy of the show, it almost made it to 30 and was the place of so many big industry moments (good and bad). Things have become more spread out now across GamesCom, PAXs, TGS, GDC, Develop and the many I’m forgetting.

I can get the argument that we really don’t need much of an in-person event given that stuff can be streamed instantly around the world now, we don’t need to rely on people setting up cameras in front of TVs to show off noisy gameplay footage, but the fact that so many others shows still exist proves that there is a want for in-person events.

E3’s death kinda came about because it got chipped away from all sides. There were better places for industry deal making to be done (GDC), Big publishers peeled off to do their own thing, and the expensive mark up that hit the other companies no longer appealed as they could get what they needed from PAX and GamesCom.

First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title. His new Weird Stuff in a Can episode was a fun journey.

Siliconera: Armored Core VI may be the best game FromSoftware has made to date

That statement carries a megaton of weapon-grade weight upon it.

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos “digging” into archaeology and pre-history.

A recent food discovery (Well within the last year) I made was Charlie Anderson highly recommend his series on creating NY style pizza.

How kind of it to think about your privacy. Such a nice google. /s

Hide for 30 days is not the option I want YouTube. I blocked them on desktop and have trained my brain to ignore them as I use the iOS app.

Us (humans) vs. Them (aliens)

Great write up! I thought I was familiar with this game, but clearly not. I guess the name just has that familiar vibe to it. Thinking back to what I was playing in '87 this would have really stood out as something different. I’m sad I missed out on it at the time.

It was a “trust me bro” claim that the media blindly ate up.

Wait, I can redeem cash prizes?!?

I both do and do not want to check that out.

In this imaginary scenario we can do anything. So that’s a full round of color for the table, and heck, why not for the whole VIP suite! Lets spray it like a rainbow round here!

Reading through the article it sounds like not a great study, not asking enough questions and not tracking key information, such as cause of death.

Sounds like one of those things where people are going to headline what they want out of it and use it to champion their bias. “Being overweight doesn’t kill you, yay!” Nah, it’s way more complicated than that. People with cancer and other diseases often lose weight, a lot of it, and studies like this don’t do a good job of tracking this info.

I did web design in the 90’s and remember one customer reviewing the site that I’d designed her. She said she liked it, but asked if I could add something like that neat little paper clip she has when she opens up Word, so it can help people navigate her site.

Note: Javascript was in its early days around this time so the idea of a dynamic/interactive site like this was not on the cards.

I’ll Infoseek an answer on that.

He sent the bot, called “Sarai”, sexually explicit messages and engaged in lengthy conversations with it about his plans which he said were in revenge for the 1919 Amritsar Massacre in India.

Such a classic love story. Man meets girl bot, they flirt, they chat about the Amrisar massacre. So romantic.
