Daily Beast is unfortunately very good at creating pro-left ragebait with it’s headlines. I have a sneaking suspicion that the reason Reddit’s politics sub is the way it is is because of DB.

And just to be clear, that’s not me defending CBS, fuck em. But it is me saying that Daily Beast has ALREADY changed the headline on their site from the time OP posted it.

I don’t see any mention of how much RAM these units will have, just their storage capacity. So I wonder if the two lowest priced SKU’s have no RAM in them at all and they expect you to add in like SODIMM’s.

I’m glad both party

Interesting building on the right, it looks to be Western inspired and even has an English sign on it. It reminds me of Tokyo Station, which was built in 1914, right around the same time as this photo. This would have been during or after the Meiji Restoration.

Like any tech industry hype cycle, it requires them talking out of both sides of their ass, because AI is the only thing investors and stakeholders will pay any attention to. So even if they have to cannibalize their core business to feed the AI frenzy, that’s just a Pavlovian response at this point.

Allbirds was an extreme example, but basically every company is Allbirds to some degree at this point. It’s a mass psychosis.

There’s definitely a time and a place for playtesting, and “user was confused about which way to go (water looked inaccessible)” would be the kind of note I’d expect them to take out of such a session. If I were the developer and I saw my player struggle like that, I’d be kicking myself for that design.

I think TGD is only trying to say that the show floor isn’t the time or place for playtesting. One would hope that that has already been accomplished by that point.

Oh yeah, I’ve only ever seen this adage used with the former implication rather than the latter.

(jp: sekkyo ojisan) are people of any age and gender

It’s kind of funny to me they used the word ojisan which normally means an older man, but the connotation is that it applies to anyone and describes their behavior as being “old man”-like. Like if you called someone Unc or Gramps.

Or maybe this is just speculation on the part of the article author? Edit: nope, they are explicit in the original tweet lol

The point is that some users like acting like QA, having an active role in the development of a game. And an easily persuaded developer might assume they ought to cater to the feedback they receive, but the adage is meant to signal to developers that they should take their user’s feedback with a grain of salt. It stands in opposition to another adage: “the customer is always right.”

I wish charts like these could “adjust for inflation.” Not the inflation of money I mean, but the inflation of the industry. The number of video game players globally has increased dramatically since the heyday of Super Mario Brothers. It was a much “smaller world” back then, so the success of SMB is likely more impressive than the success of e.g. Skyrim, and the success of Tetris would look just absolutely ludicrous lmao.

I appreciate the nicely formatted table. :)

Weird how they changed to a new genre every release.

I’m just pulling the leg of the guy above me. Granted, at their expense, but we’re both “on the retirement home patio” so to speak.

Sorry to get all “ok grandpa time for your meds” on you, but 2017 was 9 years ago. A whole decade has passed in the industry and the art form. XD

That’s some pretty decent clarity for the time. No motion blur, great detail on the city skyline in the background.

So the cats were in the bathroom, with no one else inside, with the door closed? Cats are flexible sure but I’ve never seen one get under a door jamb.
