So long as FPS remains the most popular genre in console gaming nobody is going to deviate from existing controller designs, they are ideally suited for shooters.

No, it's peak UK, the chances of the weather being agreeable for me to go for even a 5 minute walk without it pouring down are not good for much of the year.

If I had infinite money, I'd build an office on an entire floor, with the desk in the middle and a kind of walking track around it that I could do circles on, sometimes I just really have to walk.

It's pretty obvious why, people make buying decisions on phones based on the quality of the cameras, both the back camera and the "selfie" camera. They don't do that on laptops because historically whatever was there was

I don't think there's any data to prove that they wouldn't? Honestly what's more likely to happen is, the people who have always been self motivated to drive themselves towards goals will still succeed, the ones who woul

And yet... reddit is still probably better than the alternatives. Half of what I search for nowadays has a "reddit" version tacked on the end in googles auto complete. That is, people are deliberately searching for results to ques

People didn't need any encouragement to browse longer on reddit, they actually built user solutions to infinite scrolling (RES) years before reddit incorporated it proper.

I'm happy to be corrected, but I don't think costs of distribution or physical media creation actually add up to that much in comparison to the cost of actually producing the content which pretty much only ever gets more expensive

If it's a free choice between paying and not paying for a product, most people will simply not pay because that's the simplest option. Paying what you want actually is much more complicated because you end up having to try and est

It's not enough to support the entire industry, that's the point of the article. $20 a month has never been enough, bearing in mind it's effectively replacing (in north America) cable which used to cost much more than that an

You can rent all of these for sub £5 on amazon (probably itunes as well). There isn't a world where you can pay $20 a month and get everything, every movie, every tv show, ever, the finances just don't work.

It's not hatred, it's exasperation and incredulity. People didn't expect the USA to basically give up on a pandemic response because it was too inconvenient.

Yes, but you can sideload on android and in fact that's just what Epic did with fortnite on android. Google at the very least can point to that, Apple cannot.

You can have competition or you can have simple, you can't have both.

I think it would be a rough percentage that covers credit card fees in most circumstances. Perhaps they are making some small percentage but it's probably closer to 5%?

I think if you look at Chrome from Google's pov originally, the last thing they wanted was someone putting out a browser where the default search engine of whatever you typed into the address bar couldn't be changed to google. A c

I get the impression traders very deliberately don't put things like that in email explicitly so it can't be proven. There's a scene in one of my favourite movies Margin Call "I'm well aware of the fucking time Sam,

Nope, I can lay it on my hand and tilt it to about 25 degrees before it start to slip and even then only gradually. Compared to a lot of glass/metal backed phones it's vastly better.

I'm a big fan of the material its made from, I think it looks really good but sticks to your hand like glue.

Rogan was utterly addicted to quake when younger. To the point where he had a high speed t1 line installed at a time when that cost an awful lot. Having watched the podcast he discussed it in, I think he was more worried about the kind of d

I think it's the nature of all platforms that scale too big. I recall saying twitter was a fairly pleasant place before it got too big.

The business model has existed for centuries at this point. People write books, books are sold. Even those who are simply writing for the sake of writing KNOW that there is the potential to have their book picked up by a publisher and sold,

No, what's mistaken is not noticing that the world has changed. Websites exist, youtube exists, there are a myriad of ways a writer might "write" or create which does not involve book form. Books remain viable because there&#

Without some kind of business model, no writer would be insane enough to write or publish a book because their audience would just read it for free.

I don't think the lockdowns in europe for second wave flareups will be anywhere near as wide ranging as the initial lockdowns. It is mostly under control in europe, people understand and accept that if and when there are flareups local

The newer platforms will need to offer something different or there's no point in moving and it will likely take some years perhaps 4-5 before that new thing becomes apparent, in the meantime TikTok will be the new hot thing.
