Yeah, but that just proves my point further: having more exclusives only matters to the point that the exclusives drum up interest; which for my household won't happen with Microsoft for another 5+ years unless they get a surprise in t

It's hard to make a direct comparison because they're trying to do different things. God of War and Spider-Man were released on PC 4 years after their console versions. As someone who's looking forward to both new Elder Scrol

>Their concern is not “Someone off the Internet can’t find this off of Google, read it, and then close the tab, never to return again.” They simply do not care. Depends on the community. In a gaming community, for instance, having low ba

The author is also hidden from anyone who would be authorizing payment. The only person involved who might know the author is the guy making the game, and they likely used what leverage they had on their own contract.

Being good at inciting chaos isn't the same thing as having control. The CIA has a demonstrable history of being good at the first, but much less so the second. The most pop-culture conspiracy theories vastly overestimate the precision

That's not an industry standard either though. With a lot of equipment it would be technically impossible, because the pre-heated brew water is what's keeping the standing coffee hot.

It's an 800 word article on a magazine publisher's website, how formal do you expect the language to be?

The exchange rate is based around PLEX: an in-game item that can be exchanged for subscription time. People who want to buy in-game currency spend real money for PLEX, and then sell it in the game to other people.

Except they mostly skip the detain step in favor of complaining that the latter steps totally would have been messed up had they actually tried to do their job.

I think slower when I'm trying to phrase speech than when I'm navigating most traditional UI set ups, which makes the downside having to use my brain's speech center for the task at all.

An AI will never be able to replicate the real joy of D&D: asking every minor npc their name and watching as your friend tries to keep coming up with new names on the spot.

Even if they have a computer, it's not necessarily going to be an Apple computer. Unless you're a developer, interoperability between your mobile hardware and your desktop hardware is barely a concern.

There was a woman who would post up outside the Market St. Muni entrances with an unnaturally quiet baby and a sign saying she needed money for the baby. Same woman was there for multiple years, always with a baby around the same age.

Friendly neighborhood barista here: actual sales numbers have always shown a peak somewhere between 7-10. If might appear busier later in the day, but that's more likely a function of having less staff for afternoons.

Yes, working as a barista means you're running multiple independent instruction loops in your head at all times, while also having to act like a pleasant sociable human.

Not to mention that DRM on the Kindle isn't a hardware-side constraint. The device will happily accept DRM-free files side-loaded onto it.

The problem isn't putting the content onto the device, that's very easy to do. The problem is that the content isn't being published in any offline-viewable formats anymore, so there's nothing to transfer.

I'm a smoker who worked next to one of these stores, so I spent a good deal of time on the curb outside. I'd see multiple people enter and exit the CVS anytime I was out there, but I'm not sure I ever saw anyone do more than

I have the opposite experience, where I (usually) am more myself when I'm alone. Which I partially attribute to the inner voice feeling like the main consciousness. There's often a disconnect of having to semi-verbally think throu

I'd hesitate to even call Witcher 1 the same genre as the later 2. The original's combat is just a blend of old school crpg and oddly rhythm games (with the sword styles all requiring clicking in a different rhythm pattern)

>Also, the thing about a village supporting one cavalry soldier seems off. The roman army focused on infantry with cavalry being supplied by allied forces. Also possible that they're thinking of the Roman Kingdom and the Equites?

We don't know what the default state of human attraction is because we don't have access to a control population of human beings without the same shared societal history of the rest of us. Which is to say, it's incorrect to b

Yeah, the East Cut is definitely not an example of real estate taking their cues from Google, but Google taking their cues from the real-estate sector. San Francisco's realtor-defined neighborhoods have always been a little off from th
