I feel kinda bad for the voice actor they used. Her voice was (potentially) going to be famous as the "AI" voice (similar to Siri), and instead that won't happen because she happens to sound like Scarlet Johanson.
Stadia was pretty cool honestly, it just never caught on, and it's game library couldn't compete with other platforms.
It was magical feeling though, just being able to play any game from my library in anything with a screen. Any Chromecast, Chromebook, old PC, phone, tablet, etc. They could all run any game, and you could switch between them at any time if someone else needed the TV or something like that.
It made it easy to imagine a future where you don't worry about how to play a game, or ever spend money on a new console or upgrades, or ever have to delete games so you can wait to download another game. You just think "I want to play this game on this screen" and it works.
Decibels are a logarithmic scale, so it scales exponentially. Because of this, reducing by just ten is actually very significant and would reduce the perceived volume by half, and would reduce the actual sound pressure even more than half.
Tunic looks great, I've been waiting and hoping it will get a decent sale.
Just picked this up last night, fantastic game. Feels like a lot of the unique personality of Morrowind, but even more concentrated.
Sounds like you can only play while the car is in park, so it wasn't really a safety issue.
Where did you get that emoji?
Right, but any kind of "you can't wear a mask in public" law is easily evaded if there's a legal exception for wearing one for health reasons.
From reading a different article on it, it sounds like there's a new PSN in-game overlay that's needed for multiplayer functionality, and it doesn't work due to some lacking windows components. There's a chance that Valve will be able to add support for it in the future.
It restoring deleted photos onto wiped devices that have been resold is a privacy nightmare.
It's a backend identification, likely used to target advertising in the future.
They're also tagging people with their suspected age bracket.
There are actual reasons for people to open carry a gun. Main goal is to normalize it. Where I live a lot of people open carry, and it's no big deal, no one really cares or notices.
My neighbor moved here from California though, and she was initially terrified every time she saw someone carrying a gun here. But after awhile she got used to it as well. I haven't asked her what her current opinion is on guns, but I know she went from terrified to not caring, which would be considered a positive change from the people who are open carrying around town.
That said, I don't get the impression that most people who open carry are doing it for that reason, usually seems like it more because they want to show off.
