Anything car related with BT is almost always the car’s fault. They use shit hardware and don’t care about the software because no one can do anything about it. No one is picking their car based on the BT support.

Put the newest intern in charge for a year. They couldn’t do much worse than the last 4 CEOs, and would be much cheaper.

Source needed for it actually working to reduce piracy. It’s possible, but I’m gonna need sources since we know from history that simply providing a better product does more to increase sales and reduce piracy than anything else. People are willing to pay when they get their money’s worth. The ones that don’t, weren’t going to pay anyway, so there’s no actual lost sale.

It just makes the bean counters feel better and help justify their position.

Because it system if government was setup with certain assumptions of the time.

Only rich landowning white men would be voting. Those men had the time to stay educated on world events because of either slaves or staff running their day to day business.

Certain customs were socially enforced simply as a matter of course. Scandal often meant resignation or recusal, or you would be ostracized from society entirely. If no one would work with you, your business, and wealth would die.

The media almost singlehandedly bringing Watergate to the average American’s attention was why Murdoch created Fox News. It was created specifically so they could force control of the narrative to their advantage.

And then we allowed every other media corporation to be bought and do the same once they saw it worked so well.

Not just curved, but curved quite substantially, despite what your eyes may tell you. At eye level on a flat plain you can only see about 3 miles due to the curvature. The closest points across the Atlantic are 1,770 miles apart.

China has a larger gaming population than many countries have citizens. It’s one of the reasons a bunch of western devs are trying to cater to that market more, and kowtowing to Chinese government to include their propaganda or exclude reality in the process. The games Chinese gamers choose to really get behind are rarely the same as the rest of the world. So when trying to compare sales numbers, it’s like having a gorilla sitting on the scale.

Technically yeah it’s selling a ton of copies, no one is arguing otherwise, but you also can’t really compare sales directly to other western games without removing those sales figures because they’re an outlier.

we can do better with something in unicode.

Uh… It is Unicode.

U+2042 ⁂ ASTERISM

Yet here we are.

One of the names a Chinese company makes up when trying to find a new unused product name.

Probably sounds just fine in Chinese and the translation loses it.

OG RuneScape.

Yeah no worries.

The issue is that as rules get more specific, those types of users/trolls go out of their way to skirt around the edges as closely as possible without breaking them, and usually very vocal about not breaking the rule in the process.

On the flip side, vague rules means moderation can be viewed as simultaneously both heavy and light handed depending on perspective.

I wasn’t directing it at you specifically, just a general commentary about the pseudo-anonymity that many internet commenters feel they have and the resulting attitudes and responses because of that. The core reason for vague generalized rules like Rule 1 is because people will be dicks, just because they can. And that manifests in hundreds of different ways that are hard to account for in a general community rule structure beyond something simple like, don’t be a dick.

Or, just don’t be a dick. Something many users have a fundamental issue with from my experience over the last 25+ years online.

Rule 1 is: Be nice and have fun.

Definitely censorship there. I’d add more, but that would violate rule 1.

So instead… I hope you have the day you deserve.

Cool, what are the numbers without China? Chinese gamers are so numerous that they will 100% shift the sales data of a game from failure to success just by themselves, and this game was 100% intended for that demographic.

Yup, don’t care about it. Not my type of game. Also a genre with too many games as it is for the genre to really support, IMO.

It will have to be nearly perfect to pull people from other similar games. It needs to fix the issues the others have, at launch, or it will be dead on arrival.

Not to mention that the formatting is so bad that the client requires you to basically be in fullscreen but you’ve still gotta scroll a mile down to get any info.

For Xbox, that’s because the PC app is literally copy/pasted from the Xbox console app. Hell, it probably is the same universal app since that was a big Microsoft push to have more apps available on the consoles and Windows Phone.

I’ll believe it when I see it. These claims always end up being full of shit somehow. 190,000 of those hours will have been the tutorial area or some shit.

There is no general spacesuit “standard”. Suits up to this point have all been designed for a specific purpose and often even a specific vehicle. Newer vehicles have used newer suit designs to go with them. The upcoming Orion system for Artemis uses an entirely new and different suit as well. Not to mention the Russian and Chinese suits are different as well to work with their vehicles.
