If studios want to commit to this games as a service model they need to really tighten up their language Don't "sell" games, since they can't be owned by customers. Don't promote replayability if you have no plans to make the game available indefinitely. Sell it like an experience, like going to a theme park or getting a massage, and be crystal clear about how much usage the license purchased will get players, support window, updates and patches included etc.

Studios keep wanting things both ways by saying they want to sell games but then don't let customers use them how they want after purchase, and pull the rug out as if customer should have expected it.

Yep. I've been working through Horizon Forbidden West,l over the past few days, but before that I've been cycling replays of Borderlands 2, Control, South park, Portal 2 and a handful of others older games. Probably will do another Dishonored run this year too. The older games just scratch the itch way more than most of my newer ones.

This is a good April fools joke. Definitely seemed believable, right up to the woman in the driver's seat wearing it.

Very true- hook always brings you back.

Sort of. They were epic exclusives for about 3 years and only got released on steam as they were starting to publicize AW2.

It sounds like things are going well for this guy and that is great and all, but how much would we honestly expect to hear if it wasn't going well?

This story is circulating all the media outlets and feels more like PR than a legit example of how this procedure is actually going to work for most people.

I agree, Biden has done a remarkable job. I think his main failing is that he (like a lot of democrats) have let right wing pundits and GOP leaders drive the messaging around his presidency. At some point they need to figure out how to work the press more effectively.

See also: Twitter, any Trump property , Boeing, etc.

And you need a candidate who isn't poop.

The system totally sucks but we should not be having this discussion during an election year after both presumptive candidates are all but locked in. Any change to the two party system should be made in isolation of any specific candidates or election, so that new and viable contenders can step up and campaign on their own merits instead of just being "not the other guy".

If they want ongoing engagement they should move on from Epic exclusives. I really enjoyed Control but I never think to go back to it because I rarely open up EGS.

Focusing on one industry makes it a lot easier for legislators to set up meetings with all the lobbyists and take their bribes.

Warning: a fair amount of spoilers in this video. He provides solutions to puzzles and shares video of results from decision points. Looks like a neat game though.

YES. I played the hell out of quake as a kid back when it was still on shareware and love the series. Would love to see a new one.

I have withings watch and it's pretty great. I think it's less well known than a lot of other brands because they primarily make health tech (which is also good btw).

I love that the watch has a traditional dial and looks really classy rather than just looking like a piece of plastic tech. I get compliments on it all the time and nobody guesses that it's a smart watch. It has a small smart screen under the 12 that shows steps, o2 levels, and heart rate. I track sleep and workouts on it, and I think you can get call notifications on it but I don't really use that. All the info is synced to an app and if you have other devices like the scale and blood pressure cuff you can track all of it and create a report to take with you to your doctor. The company has a solid privacy policy which makes me feel better about using it.

Public assistance is just a crutch. It only will drive him to drugs and a life of dependency. He'll be fine once he gives up all that Starbucks and avocado toast.

It should happen right before the election though so the GOP doesn't have time to find another nutjob to put in his place.

5. Force them to allow the use of hardware without an account.

This should be a rule for all products.

Yep, and all the remote jobs get hundreds of applications immediately.

That's a good idea. We have a half bath that is mostly for guests. Would be a good place to try it out.

Everyone I've known who has a bidet says they will never go back to using paper. I'm waiting to get enough cash to get an electric one with heat and install a separate outlet for it.
