It’s recent. Previously many games were also targeting PS4 and Xbox One, which used slower hard disks. But that is now becoming a thing of the past. Now we should expect more games utilize faster hard disk speeds.

Adventures of Tintin. Peter Jackson was supposed to direct it, but unfortunately he got busy with Hobbit.

Apparently they were supposed to adapt Prisoners of the Sun, which is arguably the best Tintin storyline to make a movie of.

They can probably find loop holes, like saying they do support many alternative browsers like Edge, Safari, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, etc. . They just don’t want “insecure” and “outdated” browsers that support terrible stuff like ad blocking, but they can agree to support Firefox if Mozilla takes action to prevent “insecure” extensions like ad blocking.

In what way are they sacrificing their monopoly? There’s no viable alternative to n YouTube.

They also restricted IE6 when it was far more dominant than Firefox is today (and when YouTube was far less dominant), so it’s not completely unheard of.

This is Google’s strategy. Haven’t you followed the manifest V3 debacle? They want to end ad blocking once and for all. Their entire business model is to sell ads. They want to turn that ad blocking crooks into sweet new ad revenue. Maybe even subscription revenue.

Firefox is like 3% of all internet browsing. Probably even less on YouTube. They can sacrifice a little bit.

The original NMS trailer was also revealed on one of the Geoff Keighley award shows (I’m sure it was The Game Awards back then).

I don’t think Sean makes as many public appearances anymore, so probably safe. But who knows what he will do.

They will probably block “non-certified” browsers soon enough.

You can’t rescue the princess, but you can borrow her.

He has used this comic as his profile pic on Twitter and StackOverflow for quite a while.

You don’t need to tell each other to shut the fuck up in all caps and call each other idiots to get the point across. It’s possible to instruct your peers in a much more professional manner.

This is way beyond a first hint of disapproval.

E3 was more than trailers. It was also a chance for journalists to meet game developers and try their games. That aspect died when game developers realized they could just reach the consumer directly without the journalist middleman, and consumers kept up to date with games without journalists.

I don’t trust any top 10 list if it doesn’t have Pizza Tower.

I think they’re in a better position than Microsoft when they tried to make ActiveX and Silverlight a thing. They own the two most visited websites. On top of that, they own the most used web browser and the most used operating system (judged by web use).

Don’t worry. They will find ways to force you using their products.

It’s found at sudo snap install mustard-gas nowadays

How is that going to help artists getting paid?

So TL;DR: there might be unexpected time zone rule changes in the future. The solution presented in the article is to store both UTC and local time, so the application can easily adjust itself if such change happens.
