That's wrong, since speculative investment and money laundering are so intertwined with the pricing of art.

You can tuck wired headphones under your shirt if it's a problem, I still do that if I only have wired earbuds on me. Also Bluetooth headphones add a bit of lag which I find noticeable when playing games.

This was a great read. It's so sad and maddening.

Level Artists are game devs too

I can admire their initiative of funding small games like Poinpy but Netflix backing a AAA studio always seemed like an impossible thing to me, they seem way too risk averse to spend millions into an unproven team and a new IP.

There was a DDoS but it's a separate attack from what I read

Quebec also has a disproportionate amount of successful games for similar circumstances. Video game salaries are pretty well subsidized (although it was originally only meant to encourage Ubisoft to open a studio then other companies joined or got created so they kept it). The current government is threatening that though. That's on top of socialized healthcare, low electricity cost, and the Canadian Media Fund but those all apply to the rest of Canada as well.

Quick list on top of my head: Indies: Outlast, Dead by Daylight, The Messenger, Spiritfarer, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Fez... AAA: Deus Ex, R6 Siege, For Honor, some of the better Assassin's Creed and Farcry, Batman Arkham Origins

Oh cool there's an Android app, that's gonna make it so much easier to recommend!

Edit: I just read about how it's centralized and not encrypted, I'm not sure how this can become anything but Discord except open source and less popular. Matrix + Element seems to cover my use case for a project a bit better, I'll give that a try.

Why would anyone buy a brand new Switch in 2024, just buy a used one

It's not widespread BECAUSE Microsoft refuses to include it in all their controllers. It's been a standard in Sony, Nintendo, and even some 3rd party controllers like 8bitdo.

I mean I agree but shouldn't they have stayed a nonprofit then?
