Definitely need to change our voting system. I really like Veritasium’s recentish video on voting systems. Sounds like approval voting is even better than ranked choice. Anything but first-past-the-post, please!

It’s called the Q-spot.

What… uhh what are you doing with that toothpick?

My favorite thing about Subnautica was the awesome Cyclops sub you could literally build a base inside of. It made me crave more survival games where you have a mobile base like that and Below Zero really fell flat with their main sub you couldn’t build in.

Yeah, I’ve never needed to add a phone number.

Does Fortnite have any original content at all? Everything I’ve seen looked like licensed stuff.

The movie was even surprisingly great, despite, or possibly because of diverging from the books so much.

Of all the creatures big and small we’ve driven extinct, mosquitoes will not likely be the one that breaks the camel’s back.

Currently enjoying the demo. I’ve definitely wanted more nonsense like this in gaming.

One simple thing to fix is widescreen FOV, which is fortunately trivial. Simply add the following lines to Engine.ini in the config files and it should handle any screen width just fine:

AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

Okay, that was hilarious; thanks for that.

The great thing is, if everyone’s on the list, no one is!

Yeah, it’s a pretty bad water effect used with this really bad shark model. Not sure why this image is so popular.

In the US, Atari tried to sue someone who made an Asteroids clone back in 1981 and lost because Meteors, the clone had made some improvements on the idea of Asteroids (color, among other things). This cemented US legal precedent that you can’t sue people for “ripping off” games so long as they make some meaningful change to it and aren’t just making a direct knock-off.

This current case is in Japan, however, where the legal landscape is very different and companies need to be legally aggressive to maintain any rights to their IP from what I understand. I have no idea how that’s going to go down.

I’m voting for this guy in November.

At 10kV, a random stick would be all it takes to start an arc. He knows what he’s doing.

The lowest tip value should be higher to reflect current tip pressuring tactics.

Man, I haven’t thought of the Evil Overlord List in many, many years. Thanks for that.

According to the article, they’re going for multiple counts of money laundering and wire fraud with 20 years each.

Let’s not forget about HotHardware. They’re still carrying the torch of detailed hardware analysis as well my beloved NotebookCheck.
