Oh boy, I can’t wait to see the reactions of politicians of the “free world” that prevented anyone to say anything against Israel for years on the pretext of antisemitism.

Especially that useless POS of Emanuel Macron, our infamous president.

Don’t put durian in that thing though.

Nice!

Now I need T.A.R.S

Why nobody is doing T.A.R.S? I would if I could but I can’t…

joneskind, 9 days ago

Very true so at least a little false.

The meme potential of (DEAD) is unlimited.

I wish I could play a game where I could talk in real time instead of click, prepare attacks with my generals before the battle and settle a strategy, and where the fastest tabber-clicker is not the one who always wins.

Why? Because I’m getting old, that’s why, and anyone who ever played a competitive RTS knows exactly what it means.

Thanks mate

I just watched Civil War from Alex Garland and I have to admit these pictures make me a little inconfortable right now. Not that I don’t like nor understand the message but I really just deeply wish we won’t have to go this way.

Second run female V. Discovered the game this year because I play it on Mac (using Whisky) and it wasn’t possible before.

I am not a gamer (as you can tell by my computer’s brand) as I really struggle to find games I want to invest time into. I’m too old to enjoy the thrill of dying 20 times in a row to kill a boss (been a WoW hard player for a few years, but mostly for the lore when it was still great) so I play easy mode and enjoy each and every bit of dialogue I can.

This game is one of the best Sci-Fi movie I’ve seen in years. Sometimes it makes me feel like I’m in 1982’s Blade Runner, waiting for Rutger Hauer to make an appearance. I already met Daryl Hannah and Sean Young (or very resembling characters at least).

Anyway, I don’t care much that the launch was terrible. I’m just glad the game exists.

PS: As a Metalhead myself, the only things I dislike about the game is Johnny’s band stuff. The game’s music is absolute dope though.

Quoi ?

As a French dude from North of France myself I can only say that Champagne is totally overrated. It’s basically white wine that is bottled with a spoon of cane sugar syrup and then fermented again. I’d rather drink red wine, or cider when I’m in the mood for bubbles (I fucking love cider). And of course, beer.

Now regarding the post, I fucking love bread too.

In the end it’s a matter of taste but I personally prefer true Champagne Brut and Extra Brut as they offer a more dry mineral flavor, compared to other Champagne like beverages.

But as a French I think it’s really important to respect the idea of “terroir”. I’m Ok with using champagnisation process to create Champagne like beverages, but Champagne is Champagne, from the French region of Champagne.

Now, is it overpriced? Absolutely.

I was about to say that I hoped we could make protests against Israel’s government without being called antisemitic here in France too…

They found Tesla but did they found TwitterCars though? And SpaceTwitter huh? DiggerTwitter? See? Not everyone can do 4D Chess like TwitterBoy.

What’s less sustainable is centralized web. You must know that since you work for Amazon, right?

When PopcornTime was still a thing you could watch adfree any movie you’d like even in 4K because resources were shared through peer to peer.

Now, YouTube gets up to 12$ RPM, content creators get maybe 40% of that. With 2 prerolls and 2 midrolls + banners they get plenty enough money to make things work. Google has the most aggressive VASTs of the market. They are everywhere, called multiple times per pages.

Spare us your tears.

Besides, no significant competition? Is that a joke?

joneskind, 23 days ago

Unfortunately, YouTube exists because content creators make money out of the ads.

But free content video is possible with a peer to peer protocol. The content creator get the responsibility to keep the seed alive. The more popular, the more it gets shared, the more it’s available.

But content creators don’t work for free, and public libraries don’t have the resources to store all the dumb content people deem necessary to make.

Reminder: give money to Wikipedia. This thing is a miracle.

joneskind, 23 days ago

If you ask a 40+ year old maybe…

Content creators are flying away to TikTok or Snapchat. Gamers are on Twitch and Discord etc.

My nephew is 11 yo and has never watched content on YT.

French dude here

I can’t even remember any French recipes for frog legs. The only frog legs I ever ate were in a Chinese restaurant, with bitter sweet sauce.

TBH I don’t even know a single restaurant that have frog legs on the menu, and I can’t even think of a grocery store that sells frog legs.

I eat two dozen of snails a month though. Are they endangered too?

TL,DR I call this article absolute bullshit.

I wonder if there’s a way to transfer the game from my Steam account to my GOG account.

Wait until they heard about Caesar’s “Every man’s woman and every woman’s man”

If the TV Show The Crown is the slightest accurate, I could definitely imagine King Charles making this exact joke TBH.

Nice. I read this in the voice of my dear grocer Ashraf who never sleeps. The nicest person on Earth.

To be fair I think Polygon have misunderstood the email.

They surely misunderstood the second run Stadia/PC RPG mention.

That doesn’t mean Microsoft underestimated it

What does mean Microsoft underestimated it is that part: Expected partner range: ~$5M range

joneskind, 8 months ago

Their publisher also expected the game to have about one-tenth of the actual players. I don’t think anyone knew how big it would be.

Absolutely.

The $5M also refers to what they thought Larian would want for it to be included on Game Pass.

Yes and that’s precisely my point. Because they didn’t see how successful the game would be. Otherwise, they would have thought of a much bigger number.
