“Why isn’t one of the most expensive to operate websites free?!”
There’s a reason there are zero actual competitors in this space (maybe TikTok but it’s full of its own problems). Only a company as big as Google can afford to run at this scale. Feel free to add your business plan on how to make YouTube free without ads and without it shutting down in 3 months.

Nervously looking out the window to see what their crazy neighbor is going to do next
Good god that is a hard headline to grok. I thought it had something to do with the actual day prior to something else.
I mean given the massive industry layoffs over the past few years developers are already pretty used to not having jobs.
I hate how developers are the ones attributed to game industry problems. Decisions like this almost never fall on the developers shoulders, specifically the ownership quote was from their subscription service director. You know… the guy whose job depends on you not wanting to own games.
Decoder podcast which this is from and specifically Nilay Patel is awesome, if you’re not subscribed check it out

There’s a good episode a few months back where the CEO of Logitech tries to justify the mouse subscription.
He’s also one of the hosts of the Vergecast https://pca.st/podcast/5cda9490-4117-012e-1622-00163e1b201c
Nope, like it opens to where it should be but the option isn’t there
I suspect I enabled something that prevents this option
I remember searching stack overflow for a oddly specific issue and found a post about it with an answer. The person who asked the question was me 6 years ago.
I did get an email from HIBP so at the very least they got my email
Would be hilarious if the next version of the pi zero was strong enough to emulate Dreamcast and play full Sonic adventure on the VMU
I was raised in peak cereal advertising. I can spout off like 10 based on mascots alone.
Parking tickets too here. Though they don’t call it a discount, it’s basically the price and if you wait too long the price goes up.
I have little faith in this. Neversoft doesn’t even exist anymore, they were merged into Infinity Ward to be just another COD grunt. Vicarious Visions who made the wonderful THPS 1+2 also don’t exist anymore and the team was merged into Blizzard to work on Diablo (maybe that’s why last season was a banger). On the plus side of all these closures, Robomodo who made all the worst Tony Hawk stuff (Ride, Shred, THPS HD, THPS 5) is shut down completely so at the very least they won’t get the project.
It’s confusing, the gameplay looks smooth enough, little inconstant but not unplayable. The cut scenes look like they’re 7 frames a second.
Just don’t connect it to the internet and it’s a dumb display, simple as that
My biggest fear was arriving at the app store and seeing the word free. Glad to see there’s still people making games where you just pay and get the game.

Long story short they turn songs into digital fingerprints, where it can be stored in a tiny way. When you start recording you’re making a fingerprint as well. Then it just starts testing yours against its database.
I’m a little concerned for the next one, Paul King stepped down as director and the new guy has almost no credits behind him. Commercials and music videos, not even a TV show.
The Leftovers. If I were to ever put together a top 10 list of personal favorites, this would be at the top then in a distant second I could start ranking the rest. I love how fully realized its concepts were. I love how it stuck true to its convictions right up to the end. I love the mashup of science fiction and fantasy and grief and contemporary life. I love the beautiful Max Richter score. For a show that starts pretty bleak in the first few episodes you really feel the love and warmth by the end of the series and the discovery of inner piece.
I always like to add this caveat to anyone jumping in, the first half of season one can be tough. Episode 3 is a good taste of what the show is at its best and episode 6 is one of the best in the series and the point where most people are fully hooked.
Girl Talk in 09 in Vancouver. We were early at the venue and they were selecting a few people to be up on stage for the whole show. Never sweat so hard in my life.
Cool we’re getting this. I played the demo a bit on Dreamcast and haven’t really gone back. A lot of early 3D games don’t hold up well by modern standards so it’s good to see we’re getting updates like this.
