They’re not getting half a million signatures in less than a week a man.

31st July is not a less than a week from now, dude...

I don't know about developing, but he's certainly involved in a live service-ish game called Rivals of Aether 2 as "Director of Strategy", whatever the hell that is. His name is listed in the game's credits (video). He comes up at around 01:57 mark. Really bums me out too, because I like that game :(

Um, no. Ross Scott, the organizer of this whole thing, said that it will most likely fail. Meaning that there's still a chance of success, not that he's completely given up. The deadline for the European Citizens Initiative is 31st July, more than a month from now.

Also, fuck Pirate Software.

I see most of my faves have already been covered by others, so I'm going to add the Metroid Prime games. Unlike the mainline Metroid games, which are awesome in their own right, the Metroid Prime games are played from a first person perspective.

You still get to explore, you still get power-ups, but because you can scan almost anything with Samus' visor, there's some actual worldbuilding, which the mainline Metroid games didn't really start doing until Metroid Fusion (which was alright, but Metroid Dread did a better job at worldbuilding, I feel). As for the platform, I played the GameCube versions on the Wii.

Good picks, but I don't think Dark Souls qualifies as a metroidvania. Metroidvanias gate off parts of the map based on what abilities the player has/doesn't have, whereas Dark Souls blocks off parts of the map simply because you're missing a key. Also, Dark Souls doesn't really have ability power-ups with the exception of acquiring the Lordvessel.

I have the Flydigi Vader 4 Pro with the USB dongle. And yes, it's plug and play.

Can't remember what the title is, but it was a multiplayer shooter (mayber Counter-Strike?), where at multiple points in the video he goes "Yeehaw." in the calmest voice possible while unloading his whole magazine into someone.

The only time an average person will care about privacy is when it's taken away from them. Generally speaking, people just don't care so don't worry about it too much.

Previously, on Best of Netflix: price increases, flip-flopping on their account sharing stance (currently on "don't do that"), removing shows without warning, iffy show recommendations by their algorithm, inability to watch shows offline etc.

So, if you're not already pirating at this point I have to ask: what are you waiting for? Seriously, why are you giving these companies money?

Just finished Yakuza 0 and am psyched to start Yakuza Kiwami (which is a remake of the first Yakuza game). The action is soo good. Beating the shit out of enemies is already satisfying enough, but where it gets really good is when you build up something called a Heat meter as you're fighting. Once it builds up, you get access to Heat Actions and they are nuts.

I mean just look at this madness (spoilers for move unlocks)!
