Well, that one was not so much remote and more like hidden in the silly fake automaton thing.

I'm not sure what to think about that.

I'm all for shitting on replacing people with AI, but in this case it's done with the agreement of the person, who is still able to give it, who can't talk anymore, and for a documentary. So sure, they could have done it with a voice-over actor, and maybe I'd have preferred it too, but I can't really say this feels wrong. At this point it feels a bit like Stephen Hawking using his voice synthesis software.

If the person was unable to agree and didn't write what is being told with "their" voice though? That'd be shit.

Good thing part pairing doesn't exist for the Switch.

Mine is the Ship of Theseus at that point.

Oh, that was the Marvel game from Firaxis?

I was so badly out of the loop, I remember back when basically nothing was known about it and it was talked about in xcom discussion threads, and I was vaguely aware of that Midnight Suns game that bombed, but I didn't know that was the one.

I imagine with how big XCOM got, just making a X-men-themed XCOM clone should have ensured at least as decent hit. I mean, Ubisoft made it big with a Mario-themed one of all things...

I am surprised the reason for blocking ads doessn't include making sites somewhat readable. I guess faster loading could be it? But generally it's more of a layout problem than a bandwidth one.

I tend to not use adblockers, or when I do it's on a black list system for worst offenders rather than by default. However, I absolutely refuse tracking, and if it's the only option I go to firefox reader mode immediately.

The usual false dichotomy of "personalised ads or you're killing us!" is not acceptable.

industry best practices around content moderation, which [Musk] recently characterized as a “propaganda word for censorship"

Someone please think of the poor scammers and their millions of bots that could be silenced.

Square Enix has been fighting hard for that title lately, I'm sure they can beat that.

VPN use should warrant the same privacy concerns. They can tell they respect your privacy all they want, nobody can control that.

And they've got a huge incentive to sellling your data.

Avec 3Go, on peut regarder quelques heures de films et documentaires de bonne qualité, ou on peut passer quelques milliers d'heures à lire des complotistes sur Facebook.

C'est l'indicateur le plus débile qu'elle aurait pu choisir pour mesurer le problème.

Microsoft : "Set Bing as your search engine now!"

Google : "It looks like malicious software tried to change your settings. Change it back."

Microsoft : "Wait, don't change it back!"

Really putting the "dialog" in "dialog box". What the hell.

Just saying, I don't know what the original looked like, but I find that lion hilariously goofy.

The mix of detailed fur texture with low poly model and brightly coloured, cartoonish expression with blank eyes is just perfect.

I think music has a very important place in games, and the thing about music in The Elder Scrolls is that it's always been an afterthought.

I mean, sure, Jeremy Soule composed some great tracks (though really, they were always a bit repetitive, and it only got worse since Oblivion). But no effort was made at all to get them to fit the game.

Of course it's not an easy task with the open-world design. But already in Morrowind, after a while the soundtrack was getting on my nerves. It was always there, with that overwhelming orchestration blaring when nothing much happened in game, or that melancholic theme starting in the middle of a gruesome underground dungeon. Everywhere sounds the same, until one enemy spots you and then it abruptly stops for another overused track. No matter if it's a greater Daedra or a freaking mudcrab.

That theme, you know the one because it's become the Elder Scrolls theme, from Morrowind's title screen to Oblivion's to The DragonBorn Comes, I used to like it. Except after a few dozen hours being used without rhyme or reason in Morrowind, I already couldn't stand it anymore.
