Yeah I play fighting games on both an 8bitdo fight stick and a PS4 d-pad. I'm still not sure which I prefer. Fight stick feels more accurate but I can react much faster with a d-pad.
I'm still not very good at these games though, so I can't speak for people at a high level!
I think the difference here from GTA is that this is a shared virtual world where the actions of players shape the society inside the game. If they're creating a society where stimulated child abuse is shrugged off as just someone's private life (even though it's essentially public to everyone on second life) then I wouldn't want to participate in that society, and if I worked for the company making second life I wouldn't want any part of it.
Aren't these mostly things he said he'd do in his first term?
You can argue about it all you like, but if you say the word "antisemitism" then people will assume you mean anti-Jewish sentiment. Because that's the agreed-upon meaning. Pineapples aren't really apples, but that doesn't cause confusion because people know what the word "pineapple" means.
I love the idea of an open source engine becoming the industry standard, even if just for indie titles. Blender is a great success story and shows that FOSS can compete with industry standard creative software.
You lose friends when you refuse to communicate with them because of the app they're using.
Please don't do this. One of the best experiences about university is meeting new people. Don't cut people out of your life because they use the wrong chat app.
I heard he does an hour of vocal warm-ups each day. I'm still amazed at how good live the Stones still are. Being this healthy at 80 doesn't come easy, and I don't think he's done drugs in a while! (Keith Richards quit cocaine and alcohol around 2008 after falling off a tree he was climbing)
Apparently they've gone back on this now: https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/08/zoom_ai_legalese_update/
I'm 33/m and also dating. From my experience, women my age vary around attitudes to video games but generally appreciate that it's a valid form of entertainment alongside movies and TV. I don't think it's an age thing as much as a generation thing - nowadays they're part of popular culture whether you're into them or not, so most people up to mid-30s grew up around them.
If someone graduates from Columbia without knowing how to block a door then I feel the money has been wasted on them.
