No, it’s a sad tale that would be amusing if it wasn’t real people, and has occupied a lot of brain time at 4chan and among gamergate-involved persons. If you want to know more, knowyourmeme has a reasonably objective article.
My understanding is the drama from resulted in him leaving before BL3 was written
Randy’s twitter poll was stupid. He should have asked “if BL3 is exclusive, will you buy it on that platform?” With the options
The writing in two was really good. I didn’t and still don’t care who got the writer’s WiiU, I just cared that the story was fun.
Phil Fish struck me as someone who needed to huff either his own farts or copium to get through the day. I hope he’s doing ok now.
Ontario, Canada, iirc the average 24hr rate on time of day use is 12¢/kWh…in CA cents.
Charge at night and I think you can get to a little under 9¢
I wonder if the archive.org cases had any bearing on the decision.
When did WhatsApp start allowing signups without a phone number?
Mint offers 32bit support, unless you’ve got a really old cpu.
Interesting. This could be a decent secondary use for my VPS
Ok so what is pangolin? I’m only familiar with the animal and its role in the pandemic.
Edit: someone doesn’t like jokes I guess?
Half the people at my local LUG would espouse beliefs like this post unironically.
It happens regularly. The most notable ‘tidy’ example I can think of would be when the Governments of US and Canada ‘bailed out’ General Motors. They did exactly what I’m talking about; they created a new legal entity called NGMCO Inc. which purchased almost all the Assets of the ‘old’ GM, including trademarks, names, websites, etc.
The key here is that the selling company was bankrupt. In such a case, the creditors want to try to get money back out of their ‘investment’ so the asset sale is done to cover debts. Selling liabilities generally doesn’t raise money for those creditors, so often after the money is all sucked out, whatever remaining liabilities exist are functionally void. Legally they remain until the corporation is dissolved, but with no ability to act on the liabilities (ie., no money to pay) this doesn’t functionally matter.
The ‘old’ GM changed it’s name to ‘Motors Liquidation Company’ and retained the liabilities. Shareholders of the ‘old’ GM were left holding the bag, so to speak. Technically, it was further split into trusts to ‘handle’ liabilities, but realistically ‘old’ GM sputtered out holding liabilities while ‘new’ GM carried on with minimal penalty.
You can have less ‘tidy’ cases as well, where substantial parts of a company are sold in an asset sale/purchase but leave behind a working company. In those cases the liabilities are not functionally abandoned. Disney purchasing FOX, for example.

This is the exact reason GM still exists.
If the new owners purchased the assets, name, and technology and not the company itself, then it’s beholden on the remains of the old company to honour the deal… Good luck with that.
I’ve got an old HP all-in-one I’ve considered strapping a GPU to for some encoding tasks (plex / frigate) but also for shits and giggles.
I did this with a prodesk 600g1. Apart from the hole in the lid, no changes required to the system. (Stock bios, etc.) It does require a separate power supply for the GPU, but it works. I ran it for a while as a portable gaming desktop (switched out the 4130T for a 4770) and it - to my surprise, worked well.
Currently there are physical collector editions, that don’t actually have a game on disc, just a download code.
I bought the BG3 deluxe edition, which promises game on disk, soundtrack, etc.
They delivered on everything except…the game disk is 26mb. It’s a branded steam installer for you to install so you can use the steam key they provided in the box. I have never before been so disappointed in a ‘physical’ game purchase.
Nice try, Guardian social media team. I’m still not giving you my dollarbucks.
No it’s not. Look at the court level in which it was shown.
No, there’s a specific model of think center tiny with a 16x slot - intended for an Nvidia P620 or T400, or something equivalent from AMD. Cutting the case let this low profile slot in.
Absolutely. For example:
