IGN and its consequences have been a disaster for video game journalism.
"This game barely works. I had multiple game-breaking bugs during the tutorial. The art style is ugly, the music is annoying, the gameplay is generic and not fun at all, the graphics stutter constantly, and it tried to make me drink a can of mountain dew on camera to verify my purchase. We give it a 7... point 1."
One of the countless reasons we need to repeal the DMCA and change copyright expiration to set in after 25 years
I want you to remember this diatribe the next time you claim autism isn't real
That only happens with distilled water, which you shouldn't drink.
This has been my weekly reminder that there are people who use Bing. Harrowing.
This was the entire point. If you loan out money that immediately gets paid to construction firms you own, you're effectively just charging people (with interest) to be neocolonialized.
Thanks for correcting that, my browser rejects most redirects so I didn't know there was an issue.
It's very difficult to characterize this as an isolated incident of anti-semitism by the BBC considering it's far from their first incident, and considering further that the BBC has spend 20 years and well over £300,000 keeping the 20,000 word Balen Report into their perceived anti-Israel bias buried.
How can we be expected to believe that there is no anti-semitism at play when the BBC claim that they refuse to call Hamas a terrorist organization because 'Terrorism is a loaded word, which people use about an outfit they disapprove of morally. It's simply not the BBC's job to tell people who to support and who to condemn [...] We don't take sides. We don't use loaded words like "evil" or "cowardly". We don't talk about "terrorists".' despite the fact they actually do that constantly, and have for decades?

>Brussels: Epicentre of the terrorist threat in Europe?
>Built at a time when IRA terrorist attacks were a constant threat, High Point was built to be bomb-proof
>Securing and maintaining reliable funding is the key to moving from fringe radical group to recognised terrorist organisation

>Sudesh Amman: From troubled schoolboy to terrorist
>Between 1969 and 2001 over 3,526 people were killed in terrorist violence in the UK. ↑ this one is from BBC Bitesize, educational material the BBC writes for children. I guess editorializing to children doesn't count as taking sides.
The BBC clearly has no problem naming and shaming terrorism when Jews aren't the target. This assertion of "Jewish wealth" isn't only an obvious Elders of Zion appeal, it's the latest in a long, long line of Isolated Incidents of the BBC suddenly altering its established reporting standards for only the situations where they address the one country in the world full of Jewish people.
Röyksopp has been one of my standbys since the original Ghostly Swim introduced me, and they've just gotten better.
Those people can undergo valuable healing processes such as "pulling your head out of your ass", "growing a spine", and "learn how to take hearing something you don't like without being upset"
The best part is, they already made a game with a gigantic world full of procedurally-generated content: Daggerfall, which is remembered fondly for a reason.
"Decay"
What's left to decay? It's dust now. Remember when Eidos used a PR firm to strongarm websites into not publishing reviews of Tomb Raider: Underworld if they were less than an 8/10 till after launch?
"That's right. We're trying to manage the review scores at the request of Eidos." When asked why, the spokesperson said: "Just that we're trying to get the Metacritic rating to be high, and the brand manager in the US that's handling all of Tomb Raider has asked that we just manage the scores before the game is out, really, just to ensure that we don't put people off buying the game, basically."
That was 15 years ago, and despite the fact that Barrington Harvey went on to lie and pretend they never said that, everybody knew that kind of thing was old hat back then too. Mainstream gaming journalism is a captured industry.
I'm not a console owner, are PlayStation owners really giving Sony $60 a year to play online multiplayer? It shouldn't cost anything in the first place. If Valve or GoG or anyone else started trying to tell me I had to pay them extra to send certain packets through my router, I'd have a good laugh.
During these formative years of the Web, web pages could only be static, lacking the capability for dynamic behavior after the page was loaded in the browser.
And it was better. Frankly, http was a mistake, humanity would be healthier and happier if we stopped at gopher.
Crypto will never be a thing. We'll be in a Star Trek style post-economy future where the concept of money is worthless before crypto will ever be a viable alternative to fiat currency, at least for anything aside from buying drugs online from dudes with roman statue avatars who talk like anime villains.
