It’s problematic. I was on a 5 hour flight this week and I played wheels up to wheels down and legit didn’t realize it until the bump on landing.

I haven’t been sucked into a game like that in decades.

Well they are actively trying to put NFTs into their games.

99% Invisible did an episode on this.

It’s a great listen. Basically it makes audiences think the show is funnier, or rather it gives audiences permission to laugh out loud alone.

Mostly by accident, imagine what we could do if we were trying to kill everything off.

Yup, that’s what I meant.

They’re a secular institution that was on the leading edge of stem cell research when it was far more controversial than it is now.

I don’t think those are “low-ass” standards.

Calling Duke a ‘religious school’ is disingenuous. They are a secular school that has a divinity program. The university pre-dates the divinity school by almost a century.

They are widely seen as a world class medical, business and law school. Contributions include, the first ultrasound imaging, the first CFD analysis software, and cochlear implant development.

They don’t focus on sports anymore than other peer institutions (think Northwestern, Stanford, Vanderbilt, or Notre Dame) they just caught lightning in a bottle with Coach K, and have been really good at basketball for a while.

I say all of this to highlight, they are a legitimate, well funded active contributor to academia and research.

They aren’t some hack religious institution that’s trying to play being a real school while shoveling indoctrination down your throat like BYU or Liberty.

Duke is a legitimate research university that should be criticized even more harshly for the decision outlined in the article because of their history as a top tier research institution, not because they’re “a religious school that doesn’t care about science.”

That’s where I am these days.

I’ve been the person to buy a console when there’s the killer game/feature worth upgrading for.

Historically I’ve bought the bundles with a few games just in time for the new launch of a new software.

I ended up with a PS2/GameCube/Wii, a PS3/Xbox360/WiiU and PS4/Xbox One/Switch. I don’t mind buying consoles to play a few games.

That moment just hasn’t happened this generation. I can still play most of the big exclusives on the last gen hardware anyways.

And is what they should do rather than trying to delete it.

Provide context so that future generations can enjoy what’s good about the media and acknowledge how parts of the content/media are problematic and not appropriate.

They’re just going to order whatever they like anyways.

It requires personally identifying information to login. That’s a hard pass for menu people.

Still might be. It’s a $3500 device. Just because it’s getting press doesn’t mean it’s going to be successful.

They’re also like three times the cost of standard windows, which is why most buildings don’t have them.

I’m from the South East US and never heard of it until we had neighbors move in next to us from the North East when I was like 13.

There’s nothing wrong with buying early access games. You as a buyer just need to be happy with the current state of the game at the time of purchase.

Sports. I can get a hundred tweets of highlights almost instantly on Twitter.

I don’t understand people who complain about things like this.

Just don’t play it. Easy as that. No conversation needed. Go play something else. There’s only an infinite number of other options that you can spend your time on.

And have felt super cool and like a total loser doing both.

I don’t know any Korean, but the Korean alphabet is by far the best writing system I’ve seen.

The characters make the shape your mouth makes while annunciating that letter. It’s ingenious.
