Thanks for breaking that down. I actually did think on Steam that if there was anything like this Steam would mark it as having a EULA. I don't tend to play games from big companies like that, but the use and sale of…
Plus Valve also says they don't sell any data the collect to anyone else. But the idea that games have data collection outside of the platform (e.g., Steam) is surprising to me. Would this be VR games only or a…
I appreciate that the review goes into the privacy issues and legal disclaimers with each. I don't doubt that everyone expects the Meta product to be much worse there, but wow it's a stark contrast.
Not to be confused with Decky[1] for Steam Deck. [1] https://decky.xyz/
Keep all the processing on device? Do so in a way that is legal in the jurisdiction you are selling the devices in without claiming it's the owner's responsibility to get consent from all individuals (even if they…
The argument hinges on Ganon's sprite in the original Legend of Zelda looking like the a monster from Kamen Rider and the skull on Ganon's belt looking like the monster group's symbol. I don't think either looks…
I mean, sure, but you seemed to be differentiating the Playdate from other video game hardware. Maybe I misunderstood.
I think the makers of the Playdate have always been pretty clear about what the console is about. And I'm not sure you could ever consider a video game console a "practical" purchase. You never need to play video games.…
Wasn't the 9-2x just a rebadged Subaru Impreza?
But he didn't need to do that before either. He did it because he cared (in a weird way, sure). And some people will still care. Video game text FAQs in general though were a dying genre before gen AI anyhow. Something…
Yeah, previous discussion about this issue with LG monitors and TVs is here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48956688
At least in whatever apartment you can afford you won't trip constantly due to each of the four rooms having slightly different floor heights. And you won't have a wall that extends into another room but somehow not…
So many companies and individuals using AI and are like, here's our (sloppy) product! Whether it's a game or program or just a blog post. But it's not theirs. They didn't create it. They can't claim copyright over it.…
It's still a security risk though: you still have to visit those sites to determine if they have ads or not. Why browse without proper protection?
EA-3167 is referring to Iran, not Ukraine.

I'm continually baffled that there are people on HN that browse the internet without a content blocker. UBlock origin on Firefox, I see none of what you describe. I just wouldn't read anything except Wikipedia if I…
> Sony is discontinuing disc sales as a response to how gamers are buying games not the other way around. I disagree. They are using that as an excuse, when in reality they simply desire more control. When Sony releases…
I disagree about drywall versus plaster, save for ease of repair. Maybe it's just in most cases you won't encounter the highest quality drywall, nor will the installation be well done and actually last even if, in…
There are some spots in the US where you drive on the left, albeit for a short distance and the road is divided. Still messes with my brain. E.g., here in the northern suburbs of Detroit (W. Big Beaver going under…
You don't care about game ownership, collecting physical media or being able to sell or let someone borrow your games, nor that a big company controls when you can play your games. Ok. Do you not understand that other…
"Somewhat dishonest"? It's plagiarism. Just because you claim the output of a machine as your own instead of the writing of another human as your own doesn't somehow make it yours and not plagiarism.
It also lists some "castles" that no longer exist, e.g., Fort Detroit, which was where downtown is and very much not extant (and not to be confused with Fort Wayne to the southwest of downtown, which does exist but…
What is microtx? I see some Oracle product called that but I don't get what it has to do with games.
