They deleted content I paid for. I couldn’t be happier to see Bungie collapse.

The Bungie I knew and loved died when they got rid of Marty, and later Joe Staten.

Suck on eggs, Jason Jones.

Star Wars Galaxies private servers are not a good experience. They don’t allow two players from the same IP, so if you live with someone you want to play with you have to tell them, then send them pictures of BOTH copies of the discs and you and the other person’s hands. They hide behind “preventing gold farmers” but like, who is actually going to be a gold farmer in a private server, and who actually cares if they did? The other 25 players in the server?

Nah, I’m good.

City of Heroes has been golden by comparison.

343 didn’t purchase Halo, Microsoft purchased it from Bungie and then licensed it to Bungie, then transferred the license to 343 after Reach launched.

But other than that, you are correct on the other stuff.

This list actually put AC Shadows, I’m dying. Way to out yourselves, Polygon.

If they don’t come with a heatsink, they’re usually fine to run without a heatsink. Just check reviews for the ssd to see if they have overheating issues.

I haven’t found m2 ssds to get very hot, personally. Only when copying extremely large files or big amounts of files that take longer than 10 or so minutes I have seen temperatures in the 60s ©, but usually its down near 50 or less.

Shocker

If I am going to be looking at my character for a large amount of time, or hearing them make sus noises in my ear when they get hurt, there better be a girl option.

If what he did is illegal, what is anyone going to do about it though? Two people with no money are going to sue each other? Perhaps maybe a law firm would want to get involved, but I can’t see how this even gets enforced other than everyone forking to code anyway and completely ignoring the new terms since they wouldn’t apply.

AFAIK, no. The tests you can get won’t show exactly how much viral load you have, only that you have enough to trigger the test to return a positive result.

Depends on how patient you are.

If you’re a patient person, its annoying but fine for the most part. If you have no patience, you’ll think its completely unusable.

Absolutely deserved

Forks of versions before the license was changed would still be okay, no?

Businesses do not care about people, I can pretty much guarantee those were added in order to waive liability. Example: person commits suicide because they see it in a show, family sues show company because that is linked to the person’s suicide, arguing the show encouraged the person to do it.

Would that hold up in court? I don’t know, probably not, but the company doesn’t want to deal with that. So they add a warning instead so they can just point to that and it gets thrown out immediately.

To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a major peer reviewed study to show whether these warnings make any difference.

Now, my own anecdotal non-peer reviewed personal opinion would be that they probably make no difference at all. Businesses likely began adding them only to waive potential liability and not to actually do anything helpful. They can be frustrating because they spoil upcoming events in media that may have been unexpected or unknown, but because of the warning are now definitely known and thus feels “ruined” when it happens. They can also reinforce ideation of suicide because a person may feel like the ones that added the warning did it as a token thing, treating the person like they are a badge of honor or some kind of selling point. Whether that is true or not doesn’t really matter, a person that is suicidal is almost never “in their right mind,” and if they feel that way, they feel that way. Nobody can tell them how to feel, not even themselves sometimes.

You aren’t losing 25% profit. The cost of your Unity Enterprise license that you pay once each year would increase by 25%. For ease of understanding, if your license previously cost you $100, now it would cost you $125. However, Unity has stated that this is negotiable and does not have a fixed price. It is possible that this price is calculated with many variable including number of employees that use Unity (seats), yearly revenue and expenses, and potentially other factors as well.

And again, for Unity Enterprise you would need to make a Unity game that makes more than $25 million per year.

At least they aren’t being insensitive like last time, probably by accident.

It is probably impossible to happen because the United States does not have a king.

Regarding potential societal issues:

When multiple cultures mix together, one of two things can happen:

1. The cultures mesh well and either coexist or mutually mix into something new

2. The cultures do not mesh well and this leads to all sorts of problems, especially increased crime

The second usually happens when both cultures place opposite value in something. For example, one culture places a high value on self and the other places a high value on being in a group, this can lead to a divide between cultures. Eventually, the resentment each group has for each other will lead to violence and other sorts of crime. One culture may think “I made the money for myself,” while the other thinks ,“we should all share the money.” If people don’t learn how to get along, you can probably see how that would increase criminal activity. In most cases, it is usually the expectation that the immigrant adapt to the culture of the new place they have moved to, rather than the new place’s home residents being expected to adapt to every immigrants different country cultures.

It also isn’t good when immigrants enter a new country and do not know the laws of the country they have entered. They may commit crimes that could have been legal wherever they came from, but now someone may be a victim to a crime and the immigrant did not know. Now, usually immigrants that legally enter a country do learn about the basic laws of the country and the basic culture, but ones that enter a country illegally may know nothing about the place they are in. They may continue to act the same as they did in their previous home, which may have very different laws, leading to further divide.

“Hikes Subscriptions” - A bit sensationalist.

A ~7% increase from $2040 to $2200 for a single yearly seat isn’t exactly a price hike, its barely a price walk. Even the Enterprise level, which increases by 25% (but is negotiable) isn’t that big of a jump when you put it into perspective.

Unity Pro yearly seats only need to be purchased if your game makes more than $200k in revenue (was previously $100k). If you made that much, you can most likely afford the $2200 per seat.

Unity Enterprise requires $25 MILLION in revenue. If you’re making that much money you can absolutely afford a 25% price increase on your Unity license.
