There's a bunch of writers on here that favor using em dashes, but then again I wouldn't call those people the average user.

It's good to treat content with suspicion when there's a bunch of em dashes, but it's more like a clue than definitive proof. If you can find more clues, it's very likely. If not, the person just likes using them.

That's fine, the point was for them to prove what they were claiming. If not for them, for anyone else reading

Can you quote where he spouted racist hate speech?

Aaaah it's happening! Less than 4 weeks as well, very nice :D Great trailer too, much amused.

One note: please put the Steam link in the description of the YouTube video, so people can find the page quickly!

Edit: oh I realize Gametrailers is hosting the vid, that might make things more difficult

OpenAI was hit was a privacy complaint, don't think the comment was about which community this was in

What's rad about a character holding a gun with three hands? It's insulting to professional artists and the player base alike.

GenAI videos can be fun to use as inspiration, but you don't collect a reel of shitty animations and call it a trailer. I don't even play ARK and I feel bad for the players. They got served a shit sandwich.

Go down this street

That street?

No, this street

Oh, so you mean the other street?

No! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

it maxed out at 5.9 at first, then it was raised to 7.9 for Win7 and 9.9 for the rest. TIL it's still a thing, I thought it started and ended with Vista: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_System_Assessment_Tool

Simpler times, when 0.0000000051 GHz was enough to get by!

Brings back memories!

"stole" is not really the right word. One outlet reports on something, like something that was said during GDC. Other outlets then "remix" (/reorder) the content of said article to create their own article from that. Most of the times they attribute it correctly, but some less-than-savory outlets don't even credit the original source. But I digress.

The problem with this remixing of content is that it keeps losing accuracy / value each time it's reworked by a different outlet. They change the headline, change the order of paragraphs or sentences, omit certain bits, add something else; eventually this means that the clickbaity versions get more traction that the original article while also being less accurate at the same time. This irks me greatly, hence my initial comment.

You're not wrong about drip-feeding content though. They will milk every single quote in an interview and create a whole new article for each thing that was said, even if these quotes were said in the span of two minutes.

Thanks! It was more a request for the next article, not so much this one. But it is indeed great that we can edit posts after submission :)

Most rad thing I've read this week. So far, at least.

Still not a drag queen!

thank you

Can I request linking the original source over Eurogamer clickbait trash?

Case in point:

We were just about to release the PlayStation version, we were just about to go to Tokyo Game Show, so obviously we had to scale back a little bit and hire security guards and stuff like that."

Eurogamer makes it sounds like Nintendo was gonna send ninjas after them, while it was actually to protect them from getting harassed by rabid Nintendo fans.

Not saying that makes it any better but there is a big difference.

There's also a community that mirrors posts and comments from Reddit, so it looks like a lot is happening here while it's actually all happening on Reddit.

Holy shit, what a sad website. Just a few random snippets:

Marijuana is a highly addictive drug that causes (...) violence and violent fits

Marriage is the divinely ordained covenant between one man and one woman

The Bible, being the most comprehensive transcendent moral authority
