Reading the article, it looks like there was barely any warning, because it was the type of turbulance that is extremely difficult to detect. Additionally, it seems the dead man had his seat belt on; he died of, as far as they can tell, a fear heart attack, as the plane essentially fell off a midair cliff, dropping 1800 meters (6000 feet) in three minutes. That’s over 10 meters (30 feet) a second).

Splatoon 1 let you play five different minigames on the wii u pad, including a pretty solid rhythm game, while waiting, nothing else has come close for me

They even mention in the article, just above the cut, that they’re afraid this article will get paywalled lol

And below the cut, that they’re aware of the irony, but surely people who pay for journalism can see why journalism is important, which is like… good point, I guess. Sometimes the system sucks and we have to work with what we have.

Surely they mean entirety as in “the entire monthly player numbers of every game on steam”, not “the quantity of accounts that’ve ever been created”

No, you see, you just get every citizen to pay a little bit into the bridge, and then everyone can use it. Maybe we put some of that money aside and establish a group of people to care for the bridge, upkeep and whatnot. It wouldn’t be fair to just pick them arbitrarily, so we should probably hold some kind of vote. And, well, I guess the money will run out, so maybe we take a little more from everyone every year, just to keep it in good shape

Huh? That sounds like what? Gov–

Oh fuck wait shit i mean DONT TREAD ON ME

More like cope pilot.

Hey, don’t you bring Billy Talent into this

It’s hardly nitpicking. It’s the foundation of the entire first paragraph.

My point is that you implied it’s that the game industry isn’t putting out demos. “The occasional game here and there every other year or so”. But that’s a false statement, the lack of demos in your life is your own doing

And even if they don’t have a demo, Steam’s refund system makes basically any game a demo; since you can refund for any reason in the first 2 hours, you can play the first ~90 minutes for free

I know the occasional game has released a demo here and there every other year or so, but I think I remember the last demo I played was Skate 3’s back in 2010.

That’s… pretty on-you, I have to say. Something like 2/3 of my gaming time is free demos off steam or the nintendo eshop. Steam just had their yearly Next Fest, with over 900 games dropping demos this month.

“32gb of RAM is a week’s worth of groceries”

Assuming the amount of “real value” people don’t pay stays close to the average, won’t most years have the largest shortfall ever recorded, just because inflation exists?

This is why I don’t pay attention to movies breaking box office records anymore either; if you adjust for inflation, Gone with the Wind is still the recordholder, and not one single movie has broken into the top 10 since Titanic. But every year, some movie touts its status as the highest grossing film of all time because that’s, you know, how money works.

God, they even want to make leisure time into a side hustle. Is it so much to ask that they let me not think about my participation in capital for like, two hours?

There is, actually, it’s justtherecipe.com

OH, WE ARE THE VALIANT INFANTRY

The same thing’s happening in Canada with the CBC; bunch of people calling them out for not saying “terrorist” implying it means they’re in favour of the attacks, when CBC simply has a policy of not saying that about anyone, because it’s not their job.

The suspects were identified earlier this month as a 38-year-old man named Zheng and a 55-year-old woman named Wang, both from the Chinese autonomous region of Inner Mongolia.

So after all this time, the Mongols finally breached the wall…

Really funny how many of those “features” were just an embedded browser with no additional interaction with the service. You know, like every app can do, and has been able to do, for a decade+.

Among other things, it powered legacy extensions, and let them do far more than the essentially crippled WebExtensions
