No, they're saying that Google searching in general is often useless.

I don't think that's weird. That's what I would want from an honest vendor who is involved in both services - block anonymization/obfuscation users if I'm paying you to block them. Apple/Cloudflare don't s

Interesting. Wonder if we'll get a sequel to this case someday.

Notwithstanding the sassmouth and the fact it doesn't address any of my questions, that does make this more interesting. Nintendo has food trademarks, so their position against the supermarket is even more legitimate, IMO.

> “Although Nintendo’s registration covers 45 categories, it doesn’t include the specific class for suppliers of basic food products.” If the market decides to start selling Nintendo or Mario products, could they get in trouble? Does thi

Gotcha. I think the PS4/Xbox One performance is partially a result of them not caring about Gen 8 customers anymore. Maybe their procedural generation tech doesn't easily allow configurable quality, or they won't/can&#x2

At best, it doesn't say anything useful. You can say the same thing about carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc. At worst, it implies that, like essential amino acids, it CAN be synthesized by some living organism.

Counterpoint - listing a lot of fixed bugs and stability issues just proves you had a lot of bugs and stability issues. It does not mean you fixed most of them, or that you did not introduce even more. And there are a lot of very old proble

My understanding is that the Switch build had custom attention paid to the quality/performance tradeoff, and I'm guessing that's because they knew they had less margin for error. Does it look good on a TV screen? Keep in mind

I should not have spent the time that I did with the game. I regret a lot of it. At this point I think I'm fully done with it, although I might pick it back up on PC at some point in order to work on mods (which I think might address s

They've certainly done a good number of things, and it probably wasn't easy to do, but my observation is just that almost none of those things really contribute to the heart of the game, work together in a meaningful way, or got e

I wouldn't say that it was a good investment, or even too much of an investment at all. A lot of it was procrastination, escapism, self-sabotage, etc. There were times when I could overlay a sort of canon to my character's activit

If that's really true in a wide scope, yeah, I guess that would have to be an improvement. But I've observed the opposite - didn't used to get too many crashes or glitches back in the launch days, but my recent experiences ar

It's fine to be in the minority; doesn't make you wrong. Steam reviews are far from a good indicator of actual quality.

Shallow is the observation of many, many people who usually just get ignored, or worse in today's vote-centered social media platforms, suppressed, for going against the popular narrative. If it's true that not liking something do

Yes, I have played a lot of it. And have since 2016.

Almost everything else is just a half-baked shallow mechanic tacked on to the existing ones. Quantity and popularity != quality.

This is more a reflection of the state of online gaming discourse and youtube rambling clickbait these days. People believe what the culture tells them cool people believe, and perpetuate it to others. No Man's Sky didn't have mul

It's not only as shallow and boring as you describe, but also thoroughly unpolished and buggy.

Oh, I think I see the strategy: just declare a problem trivial and then don't follow up in any way whatsoever. Genius!

Yeah, at some point I got the impression that I could use Guile to extend it, but then couldn't find any way to do it as an end user. Not sure if I was just wrong, or out of date.
