It’s pretty standard when a highly-publicized murder suspect’s online profiles are discovered. Platform admins will typically disable/hide their accounts from the public while investigations/trials are ongoing. This is hardly unique to Luigi.

It took a year and a half to develop an “undo” feature? WTF is happening at Google?

I think “last moment” is a bit of a stretch. It may have been weeks before the Space World reveal, but the Space World event was a full year before the console released.

I dunno that the “Prime” name is that hard to get. If a couple of YouTubers can name their energy drink “Prime” and get away with it, then I imagine Microsoft wouldn’t have much trouble using it.

That’s a bummer, and I’m totally with your girlfriend on that one. It hurts, because we grew up with this series and want so much for it to be good.

Yeah, that’s been my issue with the series since Sun & Moon, though I’m sure a lot of people probably felt it a bit earlier than I did. It feels like the art and direction teams are still performing very strongly, but the actual development side of things is where everything falls apart. There’s no reason why a Switch can run Doom at 30 FPS but it can’t play a Pokemon game above 10.

It’d be great if they all got together for Jonestown 2.0.

Sounds like he finally ran out of that Microsoft money.

The queer black mom AI is the one I keep seeing right-wing commentators putting on their thumbnails for their videos/articles. They’re putting more focus on the character rather than the tech, from what I’ve been seeing.

People are taking issue with the fact that the AI was black and queer, not that it wasn’t a real person in the first place. Once again, the right is angry at something that literally does not exist in real life.

A big reason people dislike Epic is due to their forced-exclusivity on a lot of games. A popular, highly-anticipated game will only release the PC version on Epic for the first several months, and then it’ll appear on Steam and other platforms, forcing fans to either wait or sign up for a new platform that they didn’t want anything to do with.

And it’s just one more piece of spyware on your computer to serve as a possible vector of attack from hackers.

The Pokemon Company has been absolutely awful lately. I really wish Nintendo would light a fire under TPC’s ass, because the last few generations of mainline games have been uninspired, empty games riddled with performance issues that are inexcusable for a $60+ game from a long-standing brand. It’s sad to see the garbage that today’s fans are expected to enjoy.

No. OP seems to be asking in good faith, and has been receptive to the answers provided. Genuine curiosity should never be condemned.

But it does have a shortage of content. So there’s a trade-off.

Then it’s probably time to wipe.

On Reddit, when the mods remove a thread, the direct link to the thread will still work. You can still comment and everything like normal. But the thread gets removed from all viewing options on the subreddit, so it won’t appear in hot/new/top, etc. Unless you have the direct link to that thread, it’s otherwise inaccessible.

It’s poorly written. The writer is all over the place. The article starts and ends with discussion about a video series from 2004 which is in no way related to the main story, the primary source is a paywalled article in Italian that we can only hope they’re translating accurately, the very first paragraph seems to suggest that there’s no proof to anything else specified in the rest of the article and immediately contradicts the headline… I feel like I learned nothing and wasted time by reading this.

ARE there actually honeypot sites being set up by Italian police? I don’t know, and apparently neither does the author.

I think for household settings, a bipedal robot may be more ideal. Homes and the furniture inside are laid out according to the way humans move. That 2-foot space between the couch and The Good Chair that you walk between 20 times a day without any issue? A wheeled robot may struggle to navigate that, and may instead have to take a longer and slower route around the couch to get past. Got stairs in your house? Don’t even get me started on trying to get a wheeled robot up the stairs. Bipedal bots would be more plug-and-play in these settings, and would require less supporting infrastructure.

But for commercial/industrial use cases, I think the mode of ambulation should be purpose-built to the task and setting.

I don’t think they can do much at all, actually. They’re not allowed much wiggle room when it comes to being DMCA-compliant. They pretty much have to take every takedown request at face value, because DMCA requests are a legal process, and I imagine that any intervention on YouTube’s side could be seen as arbitration. I doubt they could do much to interfere with an impersonator, since even a falsely-submitted DMCA complaint is still a legal request that has to be processed accordingly.

The DMCA needs to be gutted.

Nintendo can do something, though. They’re the ones being impersonated, so they can actually take the guy to court.
