It’s barely a hero shooter - it’s just a MOBA

Changing the voting age is one change, but making voting non compulsory for some voters starts to get messy. It would also be an easy thing for a government to tweak to reduce youth voter turnout by shifting that number around.

Microsoft, forever and always, will keep trying to pivot Windows to whatever they think the Next Big Thing is going to be, and then fuck it up every time. They tried to pivot to Mobile (Windows Mobile), then Tablets (8, 8.1), then digital assistants (Win 10 Cortana), then 3D (Win 10 Paint3D, 3D Objects folder) and AR (why a bunch of Win10 got the semitransparent glass aesthetic), now AI. Maybe they got ahead of the curve enough to be the “leader” in “AI” this time, but that doesn’t make it a Good Operating System.

In some places Messenger is the default communications platform, more so than SMS or WhatsApp or iMessage or whathaveyou.

Lack of Improvements

The road tools alone are enough for me.

sh*t textures and graphics

Were we playing the same CS1?

sh*t modding support

It’s hard to make a call on that until it’s released, but what we’ve seen looks a lot better, including mod support for other PC storefronts and community-made assets planned for console. Plus, half the mods I’d need for CS1 are integrated, un-needed, or replaced in CS2. Some modders have access to the game already and are saying positive things.

Performance, though… yeah. I can’t play this game yet.

To solve confusion, Counter-Strike will be referred to as C-S2, and Cities Skylines will be C:S2. Any other games with an acronym CS2 will have to pick another punctuation mark, such as C/S2.

They’ve also done it with Halo and Fortnite that I’ve seen.

“promotions” telling me to play a certain game on stream in discord (and get some cosmetic item for it) are ads for that game. I don’t have a screenshot of it on hand, unfortunately.

without ads.

only if you have a very strict definition of Ad

If the claims in the article are true and can scale, that’s actually a really cool technology.

Thankfully Firefox’s reader mode can make some sense of it.

If all Stein voters had voted for Clinton (which, even if the Green party weren’t running, they wouldn’t all have), then maybe Clinton would have won Michigan, and final EC result is still 290:248. The contests elsewhere either weren’t close enough, or didn’t have enough Green voters to matter. The Libertarians had a much bigger impact.

It’s now at the point where there are two or three “summariser” bots under a post. They don’t seem to be adding anything, and we certainly don’t need multiple. Are they really useful?

A 120hz or 144hz (reasonably common) monitor could do 24FPS with no issues, as that’s either every 5th or every 6th frame exactly.

that’s a lot more money for a smaller screen, though. 32" is a big monitor sitting in front of a desk, but a small TV if you’re on a couch.

A good article, a lot of those advantages I wasn’t aware of! I think DisplayPort unfairly got a bad rap as “oh, I have to buy another cable now” when it was new, but it’s obviously the better choice now. Although I still hate DisplayPort’s latching, makes it so hard to unplug cables in tight spaces. I’d rather old-style screws than the latch on all the DP cables I’ve used.

Is there any market research at all indicating that customers want 6"+ displays?

Unfortunately, yes. People who buy smaller phones are the people who buy a new phone less often, and small phones tend to sell worse than the big models (see S10e, iPhone 12(?) Mini) so don’t get renewed. Would be nice if they did.

Python in a spreadsheet would be so helpful, abstracting it out to macros less so. Better than making them in VBA I’m sure, but still not the same thing.

I’m very basic, more thinking about stuff like using Python f-strings and string formatting vs excels formatting.

I haven’t seen any of this in Firefox?

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that something entirely different? This is python in a cell of a spreadsheet, which could be really good, but what you linked seems to be for macros, same as excel’s VBA
