That is an ancient fridge... And it's plugged into a surge protector hiding underneath the toilet?? I'd be terrified of this house's electrical.

I've done some searches for plot synopses of a manga recently and somehow landed on one of these kinds of blogs, at least I think it is judging by machine translation.

What struck me about the blog I read was how little of the author's own voice is in it. It wasn't a review or critique of the manga, it was just a page-for-page transcription. The author had no editorial opinion at all, didn't even so much as say "good story" or "bad story." If there was any kind of analysis of the work at all, no matter how shallow, I would be more inclined to defend it.

"Spoiler article" is an interesting moniker, but I wonder how the conversation would go if they were re-framed as "wiki articles." Even mid-tier Wikia/Fandom wikis have about as much detail on character/plot pages as a "spoiler article" but they go one step further by having Analysis sections, Personality sections, lists of character relationships, etc. These sections rely on an author analyzing the work and writing something transformative or original about it. Can't say it necessarily would have saved them in court, but who knows.

"preemptively mad" got a chuckle out of me, yeah it's premature to say that we should get big angy at Steam.

The word we should be looking for is "Critical." Valve is a huge company, they are not saints, and we should treat them with skepticism as a matter of course. But that doesn't mean they don't do positive, thankless work for consumers too (in the form of Proton, Linux support, etc).

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.

Ross is my hero. I'd be nervous as hell having to explain my cause to a parliamentary hearing like that. But it's also the culmination of all his efforts, so this is a huge milestone for him and consumers everywhere.

I think the article is too short to answer this question: the buyer claims to be sharing the data with Have I Been Pwnd, does that not indicate they are not a threat actor? Or at least a grey hat of some kind?

Actually, the article says that Raccoon is the threat actor, but the linked tweet says they are the buyer? Or does the tweet refer to itself in the third person, by claiming to be the buyer, which makes Raccoon the seller?

What's going on with this article??

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

Clown on JS all you like, but if git was perfect within a week of creation, why does it receive updates? 🤔

Jesus wept, look at that blindspot in front of the A pillar. It's the size of Elon's ego!
