Yeah, I’ve done that plus one other remotely related setting. Doesn’t help. E.g. “Show sports scores” is off, “Games in Up Next” is off, and “Exciting Games” is off.

My “Up Next”, which is Apple’s integration to show shows you’ve been watching when the Apple TV app is selected in the top bar, is polluted constantly with MLB games that I’ve not figured out how to disable. Sometimes I have to skip 3 or 4

My first reaction/two cents is that while this seems really cool, PC games are mostly set apart from console games in that they’re often designed with keyboards in mind, as part of the core experience (similar to how motion controls we

The irony is that taken out of context, this one sentiment sums up everything that is wrong with the internet and, more specifically, social media. When removed from consequences to our actions, we’re free to say pretty much anything we wan

This would be much tougher for companies to manage at scale, e.g. project and capacity planning, etc. Agreed it would be great for individuals, but having a more predictable schedule would be less disruptive.

Was thinking the same thing. The Nintendo designers were always so meticulous about the design of the levels, especially what’s visible to a player at any given point. To get a sense for this, watch this video [1] (from 7 years ago) walking

I don’t think the argument was about which is more popular. Simply whether FB has “killed the Oculus brand”, and it seems these numbers suggest that it at least hasn’t been “killed” (though personally, I’m against most of the choices FB has

Yes, this exact single moment in my life is often recalled any time the subject of handwriting in cursive comes up. That essay was a complete mess. I was even thinking of that as I wrote my above post. Hilarious that someone else mentioned

Game length and fun are not directly correlated. I can spend 4-5 hours playing a good board game, and enjoy it immensely and go back to it anytime. Risk is not a great game regardless of length of play. Sure it’s enjoyable playing on PC, bu

Certainly not. Just saying that we can’t be too hard on the folks that are a little hesitant with the vaccine as things evolve. Simply have a bit of empathy, at least for folks that are simply uncertain about how to handle things for themse

By that logic, who’s to say “things won’t change” again, such that they find there is cause for concern after all? I’m not saying that’s what I believe, but if you’re admitting that we’re “changing and updating our beliefs as evidence comes

Just wanted to say: this is a great thread, and a great place to hear about products from people that I feel can be trusted, unlike almost any other source. Would love it if there was a more persistent channel for something like this here,

Exactly this. I normally would agree with folks saying that the CDC has little reason to be dishonest, but with COVID in particular, we see enough historical reversal to cause at least some uncertainty around their guidance. Plus, it also m

What is “Apple brass”? I see only one other mention of it in the article (aside from the title) with zero additional context, and surprised to see zero occurrences of it here. A Google search of “Apple brass” turns up nothing, as well, besi

> I mean a 10 $ USB-C cable with more Amazon reviews than e.g. the PS5? That seems like a bad example. People are having a really hard time getting PS5s, and probably 50%+ are scalpers that don’t care about writing reviews. And cables ar

Yeah, these can definitely be a bit longer. Catan can also take a bit, though, particularly if you’re unlucky or playing with people that don’t trade (which can be frustrating). For more beginner friendly + shorter games, though, I’d still

If I’m following your logic, in that Monopoly is the opposite of fun, and Catan is the opposite of Monopoly, then you’re saying Catan is the definition of fun. Catan is definitely fun, compared to Monopoly, but there are many games I’d much
