    DRM wars (Steam, Origin, Starforce, Battle.net, installation limits, etc...)

    What seriously surprises me most in how little it actually surprised me is the complete lack of complaints about it being Epic exclusive. When they first announced the exclusivity deal and said the Steam version wouldn't be until next year there was a lot of chatter, people even saying they...

    World News Thread (Politics,whatever)

    Humans are amazingly fallible. An argument becomes bigger and bigger every time you play it back in your mind. The more you relive an event in your head, the more it starts affecting who you are, how you behave and react, until it consumes you and becomes a key part of you. Your memory of the...

    Hi, Gene!

    Your tinfoil hat is on a little too tight there.

    Hi, Gene!

    Talked to a dentist about toothpastes once and, as long as you're going regularly to get your flouride rinse, he said you only really need to disrupt the plaque buildup at the gum line: just a good scrubbing with anything abrasive'll do, and your teeth'll be just fine. Not great, but fine.

    F(x)tec Pro¹ - Slider Smartphone with physical keyboard

    Where are you supposed to grab without accidentally touching the screen when the screen is so large it literally wraps around the case? I'm also opposed to flat, bezelless screens for the same reason: just give me that slim mm of plastic so I have something to hold onto, please!

    EpicGames Client ?? What do you think about it ?

    In the console world, you need to target the platform: in order to be exclusive, all you need to do is NOT develop for a competing platform. Exclusivity is a problem of technical details: maybe you put in the time and effort to port your game to multiple platforms, and maybe one platform pays...

    F(x)tec Pro¹ - Slider Smartphone with physical keyboard

    YES YES YES YES YES!! Nice nice nice Wouldn't have it any other way! Oh. That's... I guess I can live with that, for a physical keyboard. And I'm out. I guess I could've started with this and saved myself a lot of up and down. They're allowed, but I think you need to have made at least 10...

    Evercade - buy your retro games on carts for this thing

    Maybe there's an NDA developers sign to find out the full list of IP.

    It's a joke. Guybrush Threepwood from the Monkey Island series frequently comments that his only real talent is being able to hold his breath for 10 minutes, a fact that proves useful, like, once in the entire series.

    You're welcome to try that, at least. I can only hold my breath for 10 minutes.

    I feel that. Don't get me wrong, I love my spouse and would never want to be rid of, but definitely when they're away for an extended period of time and I can actually work! I'm so productive.

    Mojang getting bought by Microsoft (title edited)

    No, I mean he made billions overnight. Like literally, one day he was making an excellent living selling his wildly popular game, enough that he'd be able to live lavishly and occasionally fund some crazy adventures for the rest of his life, and then the next he had literally more money than...

    As others have mentioned, it's not really fair to judge the Pyra against the Shield or Switch; you need to compare it to other indie handhelds, like the GPD Win (although I'd argue that at this point GPD doesn't feel "indie" anymore, they've got an impressive manufacturing system) But that's...

    Mojang getting bought by Microsoft (title edited)

    Notch made two billion dollars overnight and instantly isolated himself from anyone that would've kept him properly informed. He's "rich" now and lives in a completely different world. Case in point, suggesting that the fire is "natural" and therefore implying that it is "healthy" for the...

    A horse walks into a bar. Bartender turns to the horse and asks "why the long face?" Went to a really strange wedding last weekend. Two TV antennas were getting married. Two TV antennas, can you believe it? The ceremony wasn't much but the reception was fantastic. An ion walks into a bar and...

    Europe has a lot of privacy protection laws in place now that do require overhead to maintain. It is far cheaper and easier to just deny access than to comply, considering they do not do any European business at all.

    The Joycon drift issue reminds me a lot of the Pandora's similar nub drift issue.
