    Ori and the Will of the Wisps reached gold status

    Isn't that only for double post within the span of 24 hours? I could follow Dodain47 around and and reply with "dude, thats cool" so he could give updates, if that's preferable.

    April 2020's Humble Choice features Hitman 2, Gris, and more

    It was great back when Humble was doing Indie games because there were some solid games that just didn't have any marketing. Like, everyone has heard of Hitman 2 and if you were really excited about Hitman 2, you would have just bought it on launch. If you were merely interested you would have...

    Help me make this hard decision Switch or PS4

    The ps4 has been out long enough that you should be able to look at its library and decide if it has enough games that you're interested in playing. There are also tons of youtube vids showing the difference in frame rates/resolution/draw distances between switch and ps4 (if that interests you).

    Hacking thefl0w tweated/hinted 6.20 kexploit maybe coming soon.

    Wouldn't that just mean that cfw on the ps3 is under developed / hasn't reached full potential? Some ps3 homebrew things I think are cool: Swapping out a broken bluray drive (or bypassing it) Cheats/mods/saves Using a non-sony controller (xbox, nintendo) Cool homebrew things on other...

    Are you willing to consume lab grown meat and dairy?

    Lab grown meat will probably catch on better if they don't try to make fake cows or chickens. Since it's something made, make it something exotic How about: Would you eat a bucket of Kentucky fried Dodo? Would you be interested in a T-Rex burger?

    The beginning of the end for freeShop - first party titles no longer downloadable

    My guess is they're following links in the "Similar Threads" widget (which would mean this sort of necromancy is the system working as intended).

    The Mandalorian StarWars

    I don't think he is Boba Fett. The story clearly takes place after Return of the Jedi (where Fett was eaten by the Sarlacc), so it isn't an origin story like the Han Solo movie. On the other hand, Fett could have escaped out of the Sarlacc, got a new ship and new gear and moved on with his life...

    Rate Star Wars Trilogies

    Same here. The new trilogy was a big mess and I'm probably going to watch 9 when it comes out on dvd, but it's a low priority for me. 8 took too many plot points from 5 but did such a ham-fisted job integrating them in the story. The siege part was supposed to be like when they were hiding in...

    Kamala Harris Drops Out - Democrats Concerned Their Remaining Candidates Won't Win 2020

    Guess that was a bad example then. The idea was that you're losing control of where your money goes by paying taxes for it, instead of buying it directly yourself.

    Kamala Harris Drops Out - Democrats Concerned Their Remaining Candidates Won't Win 2020

    It isn't totally free though: you are paying for it though taxes. There are no free lunches. A Conservative view would be that taxes are theft, your government is stealing your pounds and your choice of how that money is spent. Should your taxes fund life saving surgeries (probably yes) as...

    Kamala Harris Drops Out - Democrats Concerned Their Remaining Candidates Won't Win 2020

    It just looks like typical twitter shit stirring to me. Those people are probably selling books or are hired by political groups to influence elections. At least one of them tried to explain *why* having a Person Of Color running was important ("The implicit racism and sexism of "electability"...

    Gaming Let's figure out something that only streaming games could do

    I disagree with the initial premise. A "best game"/killer app is something that would only sway hardcore gamers - the type that would moan over +50ms of latency (3 frames worth). If you look at mobile gaming, the killer app is the games are cheap and accessible, not that Fruit Ninja or Angry...

    Twitter Bans Political Adds

    The problem with bots is that we have this stupid idea that "1 account equals 1 human" and then base our decisions around the consensus of accounts rather than people. If Kim Jong wants to go on twitter to subvert foreign elections, he shouldn't get to hide behind a hundred sock puppet accounts...

    Twitter Bans Political Adds

    There are still a lot of problems with getting information from social media that this doesn't solve. Politicians and political groups still have an account and can campaign on the platform. Election stealing Russian hacker bots are still running wild. We are still stupid and believe lies...

    new Neo Geo HW by SNK?

    They put out a press release https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/us/press/2019/091003/ yesterday. No news on the price, release date or which 20 games are included. As a fightstick it doesn't look bad, but if it *only* works on neogeo mini and pc, why bother with 8 face buttons (instead of just 4 in the...
