apparently every male character's fozzle had a hard-coded length (0-9), which was randomized based on their name
I'm starting to believe you were involved in the writing of FATAL. Next you'll be telling me you resolved a 50-50 chance by rolling d100, then using that as a target to beat when rolling d100.
You seriously haven't seen the criticism of "Doom" as racist?
But then, I doubt you've actually gone in person to a "Social Justice" convention, gaming-related or otherwise, and just support them out of a sense that they're fellow-travelers. Heck, you know that "Listen and Believe" isn't just a meme parodying SJWs, right?
, I'm guessing that two years later, NMS is starting to become somewhat close to the game which was advertised
NMS is about to release the "Next" expansion, which looks to bring the game up to something close to what was promised at release. Not everything, but close enough for the ordinary level of games marketing.
It's a real credit to the actual devs at Hello Games that they kept working for years to finally ship a full game. Lets not tar and feather the working engineers for the sins of Sean Murry. Sadly, they're still charging $60 for it, but I might pick it up on a Steam sale if the expansion gets good reviews.
Gotta recoup those losses.
Losses? The moral of the story is that Hello Games made astonishing heaps of money - certainly enough to fund years of additional development on a whim. I'm amazed that EA and Ubisoft and Konami didn't follow suit the next year with equally extreme product lies, but then, they went for gambling and "games as a service" instead, which I guess is just as dirty.
The X-Wing and Tie fighter games weren't really space sims -- after all, you turned like a jet fighter -- but they were at least "simcade". I don't think there is an actual space sim beyond KSP and that one NASA game. I still long for a Babylon 5-themed space sim, though.
And, of course, filthy console peasants are not fit to wash the feet of your PC Gaming Overlords. Denying that just shows the onset of the cognitive decline that accompanies console gaming.
Personally I assume marketing is lying so I never get mad when I realize it.
To be fair, Hello Games took lying marketing to a heroic extreme, really blazing new trails in "completely making shit up" that EA and Ubisoft may not equal for years to come.
Seriously: by actual SJW standards (not just using that as a slur), it's racist because you can't play a black man. The fact it's strictly first person and you have no idea what race your character is is no excuse. There are sadly people who think this way. The upcoming patch will finally allow you to see yourself and other players. I wonder what we'll see.
If there are 1 million internet threats, and 2 of them turned out to be real, then internet threats are not credible. "Credible" is a higher bar than "possible".
Game devs get death threats when they change any stat in any game with players. That's just the nature of the business. I don't think any such threat has ever been real, though I'm not sure because game-related killings in Korea are actually a thing.
That being said, No Mans Sky was the most disappointing game release in human history, and in their case I'd maybe take the treats a bit more seriously. Heck, the hype was so high that game journalists who suggested the release date might be slipping got death threats. When Hello Games shipped a festering turd, well feelings were hurt.
I hear the upcoming patch might finally make the game most of what was initially promised. But I'm not getting my hopes up.
You're worried that hackers can get to one VM, but it's important that the other VM is super-secure, yet you don't run them on different hardware? Pretty odd.
Btw almost no one maintains good seccomp profiles, it is too cumbersome.
VMs give you better out of the box security than out of the box containers, and he probably knows it.
More to the point, a container running on a VM is quite obviously less secure than directly running on the VM. If you're running on someone else's hardware (cloud etc), then your choices are VM or container-in-a-VM, so that's pretty obvious. If you're running on your own hardware, then it's a pretty odd security concern to be very worried about either breach.
A faaar better use would be to make healthy foods slightly more palatable without sacrificing it's high nutritional value. Sadly, I foresee this being used to make fruits far sweeter which would make them very unhealthy.
How about tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes? That would be a treat.
What we need the government to start doing is evaluating goods based on their heath impact
The government has been wrong about roughly 100% of their dietary advice in the past. There's really no worse track record of any mix of science and government in American history, from irrational panics to blatant corruption (remember the food pyramid that was all about the bread?). You want more of such nonsense?
I have an alternative proposal: accept that freedom includes the right to make decision that you think are bad.
I'm perfectly happy with whatever regulations you want on "Organic" foods. Then you can have your first-world-problem food, and everyone else can get on with feeding billions.
There's no shortage of soyboys these days for women who want effeminate men. I don't see effiminate sexbots making that much of a difference, really.
Oddly, a lot of people seems to enjoy chores like sweeping and vacuuming. Seems to scratch some psychological itch. Bizarrely, in every stable married couple I know except one, the woman mows the yard. Still haven't figured that one out, but maybe its the same thing. (The one exception is a very traditional marriage with comically stereotypical gender roles.)
Because Democrats oppose voter ID lockstep, we have solid evidence that voter fraud massively benefits Democrats. QED.
Of course, that's changing in California where they're just giving illegals the right to vote. Of course, once they're in the privacy of the voting booth, they'll only vote in school district elections. Of course they will.
I expect opposition to voter ID to mysteriously vanish once enough places legalize voting by illegals.
I've had multiple problems with Chinese sellers on Amazon not shipping anything. I'll get a delivery data 6-8 weeks out, but then nothing ever arrives.
At thin point I won't by anything off Amazon unless it's either fulfilled by them, or a very large seller (too many ratings to be fake).
but it's kind of negated by the fact that the targets can retaliate trough alternative means like refusing to recognize U.S physical or intellectual property rights, which then swings the balance in their favor.
IP rights? Maybe. It would be pretty funny for the Pirate Bay to suddenly be legal. Physical property rights? Refusing to recognize US borders? They'd need a far bigger army.
ou can see the Trump adminstration cares about dairy; we're probably going to have a trade war with Canada over milk.
I'd by really surprised if that happened. I long ago gave up trying to predict what Trump would do, but he seems to focus on issues that resonate with his base (how sad is it that that's rare in modern democracy?). "China terk our jerbs" resonates - Canada not so much.

GOG is indeed awesome. And I can only hope you learned your lesson about pre-ordering games. Or did you turn right around and crowd-fund Star Citizen?

"GMOs are poison" is equivalent to "Vaccinates cause autism" on the sanity scale. Just so you know.

Sometimes you do get a little but hyperbolic in your Tesla defense.
Wait, Tesla canceled the live bees option? That damn Musk never keeps a promise!

IVF and women say no. They don't really care about sex, yeah they enjoy it. But they really want a kid.
Sexbots for women will open jars, kill spiders, and take out the garbage. Then humanity really will go extinct.

They're working on keeping the 3rd-party sellers stuff straight, but it's kinda sad it wasn't that way from the beginning.

He's implying that soy milk is a perfectly descriptive name because its purpose is to milk the wallets of soyboys. Seems reasonable to me.
Bandwidth (it has to do with frequencies, not bit rates)
Well, Bandwidth imposes a maximum bit rate, so it's reasonable.
Hoverboard (only use it for things that actually hover)
If you have to balance on it the way you would a floating board, it's just a low-tech hoverboard, But of course most of them weren't like that.
Android (it's a kind of robot, so it would be nice if phone companies didn't sue robot companies over it)
It's very silly, but the trademark should be limited to phones anyway.
