If I wanted an AI summary, I’d put the article into my favourite LLM and ask for one.

I’m sure LLMs can take links sometimes.

And if Wikipedia wanted to include it directly into the site…make it a button, not an insertion.

That is more a failure of the person who made that decision than a failing of ChatBots, lol

Because people want to feel superior because they don’t know how to use a ChatBot can count the number of "r"s in the word “strawberry”, lol

Going forward? RetroAchievements, Steam, GOG, and LaunchBox to tie it all together. PSN trophy integration to LaunchBox would be cool too, because PS3 stuff is never coming to any of those platforms and I have history there, too.

For historical stuff, that’s in my memory exclusively.

Stealing from Reddit is just stealing from a thief in a way…

In North America, most major mainstream news companies are owned by right-wing or right-leaning corporations. In Canada, I think it’s literally all of them.

Not sure why you got downvoted, but buy and download is key to GOG games

Of course, you’d then be paying monthly enough to cover a water heater’s entire replacement in one year! Haha

They’re in the business of providing (expensive) peace of mind. Not the business of providing good value for money.

Ontario, Canada. They’re elsewhere in Canada, but seem most prevalent here

Thank you for sharing. I don’t have direct personal experience with a rental water heater – I was thrilled to find out the place I bought was built before it became the norm, and none of the prior owners got duped into getting a subscription.

Subscriptions suck. The only exceptions are if you literally have too much money to care. But most people don’t have the money to throw around like that.

Where I live, there are water heater rentals. It’s essentially a hardware subscription.

They’re garbage.

For something that needs minimal maintenance and will last at least 10 years, you can rent for the price that you’d break even if you had a new one installed every 5 years.

People will pay thousands of dollars to have the privilege of throwing out the water heater and getting out of the contract. And then pay to buy a new one they actually own.

But some people like it because, yes, if there’s a problem, they come and fix it for you. Or give you a brand new water heater. That you’ve already paid for two or three times over!

how Microsoft couldn’t afford to keep creating e-waste

23 years later, they seem to be affording it quite well! Haha

I think there are far bigger problems with modern journalism than being technically correct in favour of the affirmative voice.

Should’ve been “Until the tariffs are gone, right?”

“Mom! I want to read articles on Polygon!”

We have Polygon at home.

The Polygon at home:

I think those films generally fall into the either the “don’t know how to turn it into a movie” or “the fans will buy anything” camps.

Now, gaming movies are getting bigger budgets and such, and probably more involvement from the game companies.

EDIT: Also, the IPs now have way more fans than they did before. Thinking of SMB, at least

Though please be aware, generally when a link shows up on Facebook and gets formatted with a picture and a paragraph underneath it. This feature is controlled directly by the external sites integration with Facebook or social platform, and they can choose how much of the link is condensed or shown.

This is what seals the deal for me as the news companies being in the wrong here.

After an episode of The IT Crowd was criticised as transphobic, Linehan became involved in anti-transgender activism. He argues that transgender activism endangers women, and has likened the use of puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics. Linehan says his views have lost him work and ended his marriage

Yeah, broadcasting to the world that you’re playing a game that hasn’t been released yet isn’t a great idea. Particularly when it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty common knowledge how petty they are even with stuff that’s less flagrant

It doesn’t become useless, it just misses out on a bunch of useful features for the drives.

Still ridiculous, of course
