Kotaku has always been, and remains, fine. On opening it now, it's basically indistinguishable from any other gaming news outlet. That's why I'm skeptical of your claim that your opinion isn't influenced by gamergate; it

Jason Schreier left in 2020, and the title on this post indicates it's from 2017. So even if all of that is true, and none of your negative perceptions were absorbed due to gamergate, this article still came out in the period before

I think you're reading too much into the pauses, because his style is meant to be the equivalent of a lab writeup documenting his process.

This is the original source, reporting on a conversation between the writer and someone involved in the design being described. There can't really be a better source than that. Kotaku's uniquely bad reputation among gaming websi

That's been the case with Creation Engine games for decades, it's also present in Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallouts 3/4 (and maybe others, that's just all I have experience with). It's amusing that it still works the s

You assume correctly. Though x.com redirects to twitter.com, for what it's worth.

This nerd sniped me and I had to do the math to confirm, but you're right, at least depending on where you get your estimates and regional power costs. The energy equivalent between a cell phone and shower time is on the order of secon

Is it common ? I only know of the ironic removal of 1984, and that was in 2009. I've got 500+ books in my kindle library and am not aware of it ever happening to me. And to be clear, I wouldn't be surprised if it has happened aga

What's the benefit of rooting and jailbreaking a Chromecast? You can already cast anything you want to them, so I'm assuming there must be added functionality.

It's recently been in the news that China is substantially increasing the size of their nuclear arsenal. I can't substantiate the GP's claim that the weapons and reactors are connected, but it's a reasonable prediction.

Most of my time there was pretty good, even given the fact I got put on a PIP at one point, which I realistically deserved (lazy kid right out of college). I graduated from the PIP and stayed another couple years, and by the end had paid of

My most common usage is pretty-printing the output of curl, or getting a list of things from endpoint service/A and then calling service/endpoint B/<entry> to do things for each entry in the list.

It's totally reasonable to be sad someone tore it down, but you also have to accept that you lose any say over a house when you sell it.

There's a pretty enormous gulf between what you did and nothing (also it sound like you went a bit wild with home automation). I think you'd be doing your due diligence by just providing a list of products littered around the hous

Seems like a pretty cool option. Towards the end of my time there (6 years ago this month) we had moved our development environments from local RHEL VMs to hosted Amazon Linux VMs (or you could just get a macbook and do it all on there), an

If wealth is a stat, presumably it can change. "You were raised at wealth level 7 but your adventuring only supports wealth level 3" solves that pretty immediately.

I think your summary of the question conflates a couple very different things. One of those things is the possibility of a simulation like the matrix, where you could attach computer IO to a human brain with the brain unable to tell the dif

For me, mindlessly heading to reddit have been replaced by equally mindlessly heading to either here, discord, twitter, or bluesky. Overall I think the variety is probably a net positive, even if I haven't addressed the root issue of s

Realistically, most people won't install another store. And if that prediction doesn't come true, then Sony will stop selling hardware at a loss, so the people who benefit would be people who buy a lot of games. And in any case, c

Who says they haven't found a sensible way to be profitable? Alphabet makes billions in profit every year. I've been a happy subscriber to Youtube for 8 years. It seems completely sensible to me.
