Nah, opinions of them have been sliding for a while. The software licensing stuff is just a topic that attracts certain vultures, making coverage suddenly explode.

Posterize!

Anti-cheat, not DRM. Two different products from the same company.

Cyanoacrylate was formulated specifically to bond well with human skin. Liquid stitches.

Updated means you changed the title and it said something else before. Given that the reporting everyone is seeing states the opposite of your title, adding UPDATED to it implies that this is newer information, reversing the previous reporting that it was allowed.

You’ve made the incorrect-title problem worse.

There’s true currency inflation, which is dangerous to revert, but this is really talking about cost of living increases driven by tariffs and commodity pricing. Those can absolutely go back down without being a disaster for the economy.

Intercept isn’t the right word, but what they are doing is shady. The Bing search result for “Google” has results pushed down until they are nearly off the screen. They place what looks like a Google doodle (exploiting the fact that Google replaces their logo all the time) and a search box in the middle of the screen. It tricks the inattentive user into thinking it did what they meant for it to do, while still keeping them in Bingland.

They all focus on letting anyone run fast, which just makes them feel like autopilot.

Haste lets you run fast and actually gives the player control. It’s what a 3D Sonic should be.

The first part of this article, the Apple is enforcing X rule in Y situation part, is pretty interesting. Then it veers into crazy town by claiming that the software versioning and static release model is dead.

No, XL had official releases on Windows and Mac.

The trackpads on the Steamdeck/SC2 are much better than the SC1.

Valve was forced to stop manufacturing the SC1 due to patent trolling related to the paddles.

We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including one person teams with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role.

Six months from now: Why does this financial app feel like it is six different amature solo projects bolted together?

The new law basically says “We don’t care where the user appears to be from, you have to assume they are from Utah”. Blocking Utah doesn’t help.

He wasn’t tricked into kneecapping her campaign. Her campaign was being kneecapped by ratfuckery and he was trying to soften it.

Republicans handed something to the FBI that would force them to reopen the case, knowing that it wouldn’t show anything new, just so that they could then wail about the FBI keeping it quiet to help Clinton.

You are thinking of analog triggers, which work fine over Bluetooth. Adaptive triggers is game-controlled resistance and feedback within the trigger. A rifle trigger, for example, is light at first, then when you get close to the firing point it gets heavy for a moment and then ‘breaks’, suddenly going all the way.

This works on PC if you plug in via USB, but very few games support it on PC and Stam Input breaks it.

Haptics are high-quality rumble. Rumble is basically just turning a motor on and off, often in a high and a low mode. Modern controllers drive vibration motors at varying levels using a sound signal, giving far more nuanced control. They often also have more motors that are independently controlled. This also works when plugged in via USB.

It’s not a different screen in SMB1. After you hit the axe, Mario walks to the right and the screen scrolls until the castle is off screen, revealing Peach and the ending text. It’s functionally just part of the level.

Blahaj has the same color scheme as the trans flag and is cute.

I have the Libra 2 and love it. Nice thumb rail with page-turning buttons. Doesn’t need jailbreaking to install KOReader or do whatever else I want.

Both Mistborn ages are really tight, making them easy reads. Intriguing magic, moving story, great characters.

Stormlight has all the same elements, but it lets every character have their own storyline. It’s sprawling. It lets you see more sides of it.

Earthsea is beautiful. There aren’t very many books, and they were written across 50ish years. They evolved with the genre, allowing readers a clear window into how we got to the modern works of Jordan, Sanderson, etc.
