After an episode of The IT Crowd was criticised as transphobic, Linehan became involved in anti-transgender activism. He argues that transgender activism endangers women, and has likened the use of puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics. Linehan says his views have lost him work and ended his marriage
Amazing find and well worth the read!
My co-worker paid $39,000 two years ago. It was ~$25,000 for us ~14 years ago.
That’s without insurance, right?
Yeah, broadcasting to the world that you’re playing a game that hasn’t been released yet isn’t a great idea. Particularly when it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty common knowledge how petty they are even with stuff that’s less flagrant
It doesn’t become useless, it just misses out on a bunch of useful features for the drives.
Still ridiculous, of course
These companies don’t have to be evil. Cisco could make money in other ways. But instead, Cisco is actively choosing to be evil.
You guys will literally read “Russia will stop fighting” and complain
You might want to re-read the comment you replied to.
They’re not complaining about Putin stopping the killing temporarily (or at least his claims of such). They’re complaining that he’s acting like he’s doing some sort of humanitarian good in doing so.
They don’t specify though, and it should be at the content level, not the account level
its far to iphone(esk) in design
It’s far too iPhone-esque in design
“It’s” has the apostrophe because it’s “it” + "is
“too” has two o’s when there’s an excess of something. More stuff = more o’s!
“esque” is uh…just how it’s spelt
iPhone capitalization is just their branding.
I only commented to help with “esque”, but saw other things I could help with. Knowledge is power!
My decent Bluetooth headphones have the option to plug in a headphone cable to use them wired. I use it occasionally so I can reduce audio latency, which can be useful with gaming…and essential with rhythm games.
Because they display (or even host, potentially) content that’s “illegal” in Turkey.
What they should probably be doing is just hiding said content from users in Turkey…and encouraging users in Turkey to use VPNs, lol
Is there a lot of overlap between people who can’t afford a cellphone and are taking flights?
14 isn’t old, it’s not even legal age to buy cigarettes.
I’ll do some weird math.
The first computer game could be argued to have been released in 1950, and the first commercial video game was released in 1971. Let’s call it either 70 or 50 years ago.
14 years is 20~28% of the entire history of video games.
The first feature film came out in 1906; let’s call it 120 years old. So let’s calculate what 20~28% of this history of film is.
20% of 120 years is 24 years, and 28% is 33.6, rounded to 34.
So if you compare them by the “commercial video game vs. feature film” definition, a 14-year old game is like Beauty and the Beast, Hangin’ with the Homeboys, or Showdown in Little Tokyo.
If you want to use the “youngest” ratio, then we can compare Skyrim to films that are just 24 years old, like Shrek, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, or Spy Kids.
I dunno, I think 14 years old is an old game! Haha
Yes, there will be consequences. Things will get better for those businesses!
To clarify, I don’t think the writers did anything wrong. The headline will be misleading because Nintendo’s being somewhat misleading.
I don’t know how much the headline could be improved, if at all.
Nintendo says NS2 GC controller will only “officially” support GC games
Or if they can’t quote “officially”, they could quote “only”. Which could arguably be more clickbaity, but also clue in a casual reader that there’s more to what Nintendo officially says.
It’s somewhat misleading. It’s not providing the additional background information, and it leads the headline with the claim (not that Nintendo is making a claim).
I don’t think it’s a bad headline. It’d be hard to include all the information in the headline. But if someone only reads the headline (something like 73% of people), they could end up with a mistaken conclusion. And those people will have been lead in that direction (so, mislead).
The games don’t drop in price, but the consoles do. There’s even a chance the price could go down for the holiday season, even if it’s something miniscule. This launch price is the early adopter tax.
Yeah, fish in the sea are definitely wet. As is a swimmer under the water
The water on the other water makes the other water wet, and vice versa
Coming at it from a colloquial definition and not a chemist’s definition, though. And I prefer the colloquial definition of “wet”.
This is what seals the deal for me as the news companies being in the wrong here.
