Neutral/allied country interfering in Canadian elections = uncomfortable truth.

China interfering in elections = big bad CCP is targeting our way of life.

A lot of countries do it, but only one is Canada’s big boogeyman.

Haha, he nearly passes out when he realizes he crashed the game. That kid is amazing.

Anyone who expected Starfield to win Most Innovative Gameplay, are you offering divination services to the public?

It was an easy call to make. Steam Awards are voted by the public, so it’s all about name recognition.

The other finalists in that category were Shadow of Doubt, Contraband Police, Remnant II, and Your Only Move Is Hustle. Of all these, I had heard about Starfield and Remnant II.

I’m sure some of these games are awesome and I want to check them out by virtue of being finalists, but it was pretty clear Starfield was gonna win on brand recognition alone.

Steam Awards, like any publicly-voted award, is a name recognition contest.

Not disputing your main point, but they fired CEO John Riccitiello over this.

Kind of a disingenuous title. Ubisoft is a publisher, yes, but this is specifically about it’s development studio in Montreal. Furthermore, these cuts are in IT, admin, and VFX, and not (so far) in development itself, and certainly not in Assassin’s Creed dev teams, which is clearly their cash cow.

“How dare they show a titty in my murder simulator.”

I've played it in January 2022 on PC (so about a year after release), going through a second playthrough on Steam Deck now.

Compared to two years ago, the game is not that different IMO. I enjoyed it immensely the first time, and I'm loving it enough now to just play it again. A lot of very noticeable changes with 2.0, with the entire perks system rebuilt and such. Not a major game changer IMHO but it's all good stuff.

As for Steam Deck, it's 100% compatible and looks great. I've noticed very few frame rate issues.

I wish people could let go of their resentment towards the game's launch woes, because this game is a genuine banger with an amazing setting, great gameplay, and a kickass story.

Made it possible to properly switch to Arm cyberware by cycling through weapons.

Oh, haha, I was wondering if I was crazy. The only way I could see to equip the Mantis Blades was to hold Y and select it there. Didn't feel very intuitive.

Don't know if this counts as an ending proper rather than a funny and very rare unintended effect. I doubt the devs planned for it or even realized it could happen.

I thought the first book was pretty meh with big ideas but mid execution, but holy hell was the sequel exciting and leagues ahead in terms of quality. Really delivers on what the first novel sets up.

I was actually thinking just this morning that if there’s ONE area where AI could really make a difference, it’s in predictive text on keyboards. How many times do I have to type “Roman Empire,” say, before the keyboard suggests “Empire” the next time I type “Roman”? The keyboard doesn’t even recommend my own last name when I type my first name.

Except reading the article, this is anything BUT that. It’s some AI-generated art stuff so you can create custom stickers or some useless shit like that.

Still chasing the dream of mainstream Clippy acceptance.

Seriously. The world would be a better place if the media stopped reporting on every random shit idea that crosses Musk’s addled brain. It’s the kind of lazy journalism that got Trump ejected.

I’d love that, but the celebrities are very much signaling Bluesky.

El Salvador adopted both BTC and the U.S. dollar at the same time as national currencies. It’s not a matter of BTC vs. SVC.

Edit: The person I’m replying to edited their comment instead of admitting they were wrong. Classy.

Despite government incentives to use Bitcoin, people distrust it because they know how volatile it is and 70% of the population thinks it’s a scam.

Turns out even the Salvadoran poor are more financially savvy than tech bros.
