Lol, must be a headache for the devs maintaining it, but from the end user perspective it is way more pleasant of an experience than epic, origin, gog, ubi and whatever else is out there.

VPN via Turkey used to work on other subs too. Often something like 1:10 discounts. Most of these loopholes are closed though.

Did Coke just call him fat?

Of course the companies pin the graphics as a culprit. Otherwise they would have to admit the mismanagement is the reason they burn through millions of dollars. Mismanagement brings with it another aspect the author did not mention: stress and burnout. Either working too hard, or spinning wheels doing nothing is pure poison to a creative person. Constant direction changes, lack of clear communication, never knowing whether you did well or are on the verge of being laid off - all these make people work harder but output less/worse quality assets.

It’s how all big tech companies work.

This was brutal to watch in an already grim reality of 2025, but an important one. This is not just a remote, 3rd world problem (as if that was an excuse) - this is how our AAA games are made.

Let’s not forget, conservatives, CEOs and all that bunch operate with methods of a parlor magician. The louder they jingle the keys in one hand, the more we should be paying attention to what they are doing with the other.

How about New Mexico state?

I mean fuck X, sure, but why is the police posting crucial information on a commercial, privately moderated platform? Why would you just assume everyone has an account with Musk’s service?

I’ve seen this shit in Europe too - with everyone just assuming you’ll have WhatsApp. At least most EU governments don’t use it exclusively, but I’m certain countries, like Turkey, WhatsApp is the only channel where information can often be found.

Trump is likely here to stay. With the dismantling of federal institutions, citizen rights and democratic institutions, USA is on the course to a “president for life” faux democracy like Russia or Turkey (or any number of other countries adopting this model in recent years)

Took me forever to see the glass with water. I thought it was a picture of some cardboard boxes or brutalist architecture.

Damn… These executives at Prime have no idea what’s good. Better blow buncha millions on another Lord of the Rings slop or animated anthology Love Death and Robots wannabe…

Just to add to Gison’s “The Peripheral” - it’s the first in his new “Jackpot Trilogy” with second book “The Agency” being equally, if not more awesome.

Also, Peripheral got adapted to a TV show (one season so far) pretty successfully.

So glad Xbox players will be finally able to enjoy it! It took a while!

Freaking loved Ghostwrite. Too bad all PS+ games I like I already own.

I’d guess NPR

Of course I did!

With a #$ump this size You gotta flush twice

News news news, it may also be using a game controller to translate user input into character actions.

I’m still waiting for the game to go super discounted or free on Steam. Bought it on BattleNet AND on PlayStation. Not gonna pay the third time just for the privilege of no-hassle play on Steam Deck - and that’s the only way I see myself getting back to it.

I thought we, as a society, were over this ridiculous “drinking from jars” phase.

Here’s one face I wish I could block. Searching any video game topic on YouTube always pops his drama filled mug in the results.
