Insane story: a random collector purchased a bunch of consoles and unfinished games from a scrapyard.

The police raided his place and took it all away. Without any compensation. And placed him under investigation.

Who would've guessed, right?

Can I remind you that this was filmed years ago and we literally got exactly this in a form of Open AI military deal.

The video is written by the professor from Berkeley, Stuart Russell, who tried to limit AI research and ensure their legal grounds before implementation. His efforts failed, he's still trying.

You know who funded the video back then? Elon Musk.

Laura reveals she was kicked out after an unnamed executive handed her a bathrobe to put on at GDC 2004. She refused, left immediately, and was reorganized out of her role the following week. Even with the support of several colleagues, the HR team gave up on her.

Phil Spencer then stepped in, bringing her onto his team where she contributed to noscripts like Gears of War.

Phil is generally praised by everyone who speaks of him as a colleague and boss.

And the inevitable 😔

If you missed my posts about it: I've tried the game a week ago, and spent 16 hours in it, and liked a lot of things that defining Highguard. Their team play features, sieges, character skills, and so on.

But flaws are obvious in level design, weapons design, optimization, loot, mining and upgrades, and many other things.

And yet: it's free, go try it out before it's gone. The learning curve is steep but when passed through it will be a fun time.

My current achievements status in HG 😊

Haters will say that Jpeg files can't contain sounds. But I have a JPEG with the sound!

Imagine that this bug exists for at least 2-3 big releases and Microslop is STILL unable to fix it...

Their update literally removes crucial system components, responsible for wired internet authentication.

Bloomberg says that PlayStation is turning away from PC for the next few years to improve their own brand. They are concerned by poor sales of a few recent ports, they no longer want deals with Microsoft, and so on.

Multiplayer and Live Service games will be available on PC, but the story-driven paid games will stay exclusives.

The biggest change happened when PlayStation forced people to use PSN accounts on PC. It was their plan to move people from PC to PS5, but it backfired. Even when restrictions were lifted sales never returned.

They should've fired him earlier, IMO. Literally the person who believed that if you apply PSN accounts, PC gamers will comply and buy PS5 a year later.

Valve secretly revived Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Yes, CS2 is also available separately, but CSGO is much faster on old machines and players are extremely happy to see it.

Despite such a limited news coverage, the game already peaked at 61K CCU. Sadly, all Steam achievements are gone.
