A bunch of sites that have seen a noticeable downturn in quality since being acquired by Valnet. XDA and Android Police have really gone to shit lately. GameRant and Collider too. The Valnet guys founded Brazzers, if that gives you any idea of how shady they are.

RIP Polygon.

Don't tell him that he can't do something. Let him figure it out on his own.

I think the author missed the mark here by talking about game preservation, as many are already pointing out in these comments.

The real benefit of buying a physical disc/cartridge copy of a game nowadays is the ability to resell it when you're done playing. That's actually a huge boon if you buy a lot of newly released games at full price, and play on consoles where sales are less common than PC. Reselling games can save you a LOT of money over time.

  1. If you're connecting to random free Wi-Fi, you're leaving yourself wide open to attacks.
  2. A lot of security researchers play with penetration testing scenarios like this. It's how you learn to defend against techniques that real attackers use.

Because trans people are different, and they're afraid of different people. So they make assumptions that those people are somehow dangerous. Racism, xenophobia, transphobia; it's all the same stupid mentality.

I wonder what foreign government Musk wants to bribe.

  1. Context matters. That question is rarely asked by anyone that isn’t a douchebag trying to hit on a woman.
  2. From my understanding, even when NOT in the context of douchebaggery, it’s a condescending thing to say to a woman. So much of society wants to put women in a box where they’re expected to look pretty, smile more, talk less, and listen to big strong men with their big manly brains. Being told to “smile more” is pretty triggering for some (but maybe not all) women who are tired of dealing with that shit.

looks like crypto bullshit

What? You need to give us context before you criticize something. I have no clue what you're on about.

He stated that the company was in the “early stages” of creating the device, which is still years away from a possible launch.

Sounds like it's not a real thing yet, in my opinion. Companies as big as Sony are always "exploring" new products, that doesn't mean they'll be real. For the record, I love my Steam Deck, and I hope the portable market expands. But this isn't real news, IMO.
