Only 50%

Do people need a reminder of who owns this company?

You don't like the 'pedestrian mower' trucks, where the driver can't see anything that's less than 30 feet in front of them? Weird. /s

I don't want AI-generated assets in games at the expense of past, present, and future artists -- artists that created all the source material in the first place and had it pirated by corporations who had enough money to ignore all existing IP law globally.

If Tim Sweeney is fine with pirating other's art, he should be cool with people pirating his games.

Please remember that this software has not yet been properly audited and could potentially have bugs that compromise your passwords.

That said, it looks attractive and promising.

Feminism has a place, but it is explicitly about promoting women's interests -- something which if allowed to continue unchecked, leads to significant disadvantages for men.

I think that's a dangerous belief. I don't see the difference between saying that and saying "Equality for black people has a place, but it is explicitly about promoting black interests -- something which if left allowed to continue unchecked, leads to significant disadvantages to whites."

Casually throwing feminism under the bus -- a movement that focuses on women's issues (to the overall societal benefit of everyone) -- for focusing on women's issues?

Huh. Is this socially acceptable now? I thought we were better than this.

In the US, "doxxing" laws are pretty much state-by-state and many may be violating the first amendment.

I didn't see a link to the survey in the article so I found it on the ESA website.

The survey says that 58% of kids want games, but it doesn't seem to specify what percentage of kids want in-game currency?; it simply says that in-game currency is one of the top five video-game related requests, at 43%. But 43% of what? 43% of kids who want games? It's not specific, which would make the news article meaningless.

They said they had no intention of hindering or invalidating 'legal' 3rd party docks, where 'legal' could be interpreted as "authorized by Nintendo", which could mean they have every intention of hindering every dock they don't approve of or get a cut of sales of.

Fun Fact: DVD originally was called Digital Video Disc and was changed shortly after because it began being used for other non-video purposes.

Source: I was there when DVD was first introduced to the market.

We are in a new age of disinformation and crazy people, where the president of the US literally responds to protests against him with AI videos of him shitting on all of them, and where every sarcasm post needs an /s.
