Aside from basic humanity, another reason I support broad and relaxed immigration is that my poor ass would like enough of a tax base to make sure my Social Security is paid when I can't work anymore.

The only people who didn't understand that this is exactly what would happen were the execs at Sony and Microsoft. The entire point of a console is that it's simple, reliable and cheap. If it's not all of those things then people will find alternatives.

Okay. Let's go over the stupid: "I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BUBBLE TO POP SO I CAN BUY ALL THOSE GPUS REAL CHEAP." Those "GPUs" only barely qualify as such. Many of them don't even have a video output, or can't be used outside specialized servers. They're no good to anyone. They're future e-waste.

Engagement bait irritate me so much because seeing people fall for it is like watching a dog look for the ball after someone pretends to throw it. They're not really talking to you. They're not really asking you a question. They don't really care what you think. Why don't you get that?

Okay, my media-illiterate people with tiny baby brains: Understand that when people mistreat sentient robots and computers in fiction it's a commentary on how we treat other people, usually marginalized groups. It is not and has never been about the possibility machines are or could be people.

Elsewhere on the same page, PC Gamer can't conceptualize not playing the video game from Rockstar which is built on union busing and misery. "You going to play on console?" "No." "So you're waiting for PC?" "No." "Oh you're playing on both, then." "No." "...you going to play on console?"
PC Gamer Poll: Are you playing GTA 6 when it launches on consoles or waiting for PC?

I don't want to wait, so I'm playing the console version.

I'm waiting for the PC version.

Double dipping—I'll play it on console now and PC later.

Roblox will soon let developers bring games to other platforms, though they'll still 'benefit from the same revenue-share economics' of the Roblox app.

We're at an interesting point in computer hardware. Nvidia was all set to compete with Intel and Apple via a new ARM CPU ... while at the same time, Nvidia has contributed to making hardware prices so high that people will be using existing gear much longer than they usually would.

It's what Mitch McConnell would have done. Not doing it is what Merrick Garland would have done. For once, be like Mitch McConnell.

If tech executives hadn't placed themselves above the law, refused to abide limits, bought politicians and flaunted their impunity, then people wouldn't feel as though their only recourse was violence. Not a one of these dipshits understood that abiding the law wasn't a prison but a protection.

Honestly this is doing him a favor. Letting him rant live and unedited would probably add another 2 points to the midterm loss all by itself. They'd much rather edit his remarks so they can comment on them as if he's a sane and rational actor.

I've been told that while entry into the event is free, it also requires bag checks, no outside food or drink, walking a ridiculous distance to get in and being surrounded by both cops and national guard. So not only do people not want to be there, getting in is a gigantic pain in the ass.

Something I don't think many execs understand is that companies don't make games: They make teams. And if they do it well; if they make stable, well-resourced, high trust teams, those teams will make great games forever. But that only happens if the execs understand what the company makes.

He is correct, and this is precisely what Nixon's former media guy, Roger Ailes, set out to do when he started Fox News: ensure that no future Republican President would be taken down by the discovery of corruption. Only Democrats are to be held to any standards.
