I finished it 3 times, so I’d say I’m pretty patient.

I’ve beaten the game about 6 times now and while I’ve certainly encountered minor glitches that made me laugh, I’ve never had issues that were game breaking at all. And the fire giant included.

I always hear stuff like this but in hundreds of hours of play on both PlayStation 5 and PC. I’ve never experienced any serious bugs. It’s so interesting to me that experiences can vary so much between people.

I wake up at noon because I’m depressed and went back to sleep.

I only do that when the problem space is interesting.

Most developers are just implementing CRUD using a framework that does most of the work. There isn’t the interest motivation to keep on trying to fix things.

Is it generic? It seems pretty rich in Elden Ring when compared to most games.

Because he’d say no. Better to ask for forgiveness.

The PS5, while bigger than last entries, is hardly the size of a small fridge.

More like a floor air conditioner.

Long time fans of the 2d games really enjoy Wonder as the movement mechanics moved back to a faster feel from pre-New Super Mario Bros. My favorite will probably always be Super Mario World because the movement is the most responsive in that game and I also like to play ROM hacks for it and that community is wild.

New Super Mario Bros ended up with a sluggish movement by comparison and dominated 2d Mario for decades.

The big draw for many people in Mario is movement mechanics and that’s why Odyssey is so popular as well. The 3d platforming with Cappy just feels right. Like a missing extension that we never new we didn’t have.

There’s an app for that.

I’m from Texas and this one nearly got me…

This was my take away. They paid 1 individual over twice the amount they lost last year. That fix is easy math to me.

Yes, but other cars aren’t operating inside enclosed tunnels at all times.

I’ll preface this by saying that in no way do I expect that ES6 will shine more than Starfield and nothing I’m about to say should be construed as such.

I personally think that Starfield isn’t a good representation of what modern Bethesda will do with ES6. Starfield is the first time any of the major players had been involved in a totally new IP.

Skyrim was mechanically good enough, but it was only interesting because it was built in a world that was already rich with lore. It built upon a strong foundation of interesting concepts, conflict, and history to move a timeline forward and on top of that allowed for modders to easily expand it further.

Fallout 3 and 4 followed the same formula as Skyrim. Build a mechanically good enough game built on a rich world and allow modders to expand it.

Fallout 76 was the first departure from building on what was already there and it was a disaster because it wasn’t mechanically good enough.

Starfield is a new departure by making something that’s mechanically good enough but also needing to build a whole universe from scratch which left it feeling dull for many.

ES6 represents an opportunity for Bethesda to go back to the formula that worked for them until now. There is a big risk that they will further streamline the gameplay making it less deep as they have done with every generation, but it’s not a guarantee at this point in time.

My favorite part was the questionable messaging around killing endangered animals. But it was a chill game for sure.

Read they paid spez over twice what they lost, so I’m gonna say they did it to themselves.

My hot take was “the notoriously hackable companies are now trusted to not get hacked”

That makes it sound more like it is Linux, but not GNU. Which is accurate

This is entirely speculation on your part.

Google has been more transparent that it happens. Apple is definitely collecting information on everything you do on their devices as well. It may be just as much info.

With their new pay later feature, you know they are at least collecting enough info to make financial decisions based on your profile.

They also collect health data using the watch.

They collect more than that in order to better understand how to keep people in their ecosystem. I’d wager the latter will about cover what OP was surprised by Google capturing.

Microsoft is another story. They are the most valuable tech company in the world right now due to AI. Which indicates that they are training some powerful AI on data that has been gathered in a number of places.

Suburbs weren’t from a fear of communal parks. Parks are still common in suburbs that have larger yards.

Suburbs were a way to continue segregation in schools and services by moving further away so that minorities wouldn’t have immediate access in a logistics sense.
