I finally played Fortnite a few months ago. First time playing a BR style game. I made it about 2 hours play time before giving up and deleting it, and I'd killed a couple people already by that point.
It was so boring for an FPS. I don't understand how it's so popular with kids. How do I have a shorter attention span than a 8 year old? |

What does one say to someone that delights in the suffering of others? It's strange to have to confront outright evil on a gaming message board. |

Feel free to start boycotting Blue's while you're at it, since the mods here frequently censor "free speech".

Agreed that we should all give it a few days before deciding on things like font choices.
Change is always hard, but this is the least awful redesign I've seen, so nice job on that. |

| I was pretty surprised when playing Star Wars BF2 that only the skins for white guys were unlocked by default. You actually had to spend "credits" to unlock the Black or Asian skins. And this is in a game released by a major studio in the last couple of years. |

| No, they've never been protected, but companies would frequently leave them alone for PR reasons. Parodies are protected, but not remakes. Lucasfilm was a rare company that actually encouraged fan work. Disney, however, is on the opposite end of that spectrum, so those days are over. |

What I have said is "Climate Change" is an all encompassing term which cannot be refuted since it's so broad and almost meaningless.
So your real problem is with the term? What would you like to call it then? |

SDE isn't an issue with the current generation of VR headsets. Plus, the nice thing about VR is that if something is too small to read, you can just lean forward to get a closer look. The first version of Flight Sim I used ran at 320x200, so I'm not super concerned about resolution anyways.
I see the bigger problem with controls. There haven't been any good interfaces yet that let you seamlessly use both the VR controllers for things like flipping switches and HOTAS for controls. Something like Elite's gaze based system might work, but it's not truely analogous. It also doesn't help that we have so many different controller types in VR. |

| Looks pretty good, except a) The hamburger button is enabled way too soon. Looks like it gets enabled around 4x3, which is a closer to a standard monitor dimension than phone dimensions. b) The day separator is excessively tall. The dimensions of the current day separator are fine. |

| According to the article the only change Google is making to comply with the law is to stop showing parts of the body of the news articles and only show the headline. This seems like a perfectly reasonable outcome for all parties. |

In my opinion, TPM is very watchable (I just watched again a couple weeks ago). AotC has a middle chunk with major issues, but the start and end are good. RotS is one of my favorites. I also enjoyed Rogue One.
The sequels, on the other hand -- I hated TFA for reasons this review sums up perfectly - https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/06/28/star-wars-the-force-alluded-to
I liked TLJ a bit more, but mostly because I had stopped caring at that point. That said, I started watching it a second time on video, and couldn't make it very far because I just didn't care about anyone or anything happening.
Lucas's sequels might not have been "good", but they sound a lot more interesting than what we got from Disney.
Also, speaking as someone with a biology degree, I thought the midi-chlorians were brilliant. |

It doesn't take a genius to see how disruptive this would be
Just like Steam was massively disruptive to resellers and resulted in much higher prices for gamers. How's Gamestop doing these days? I use to be able to wait a few months to pick up a game for cheap since I didn't care about having the latest and greatest. Now I have to wait literally years for a comparable sale on Steam. |

I don't own any of my Steam games, operating systems, phone apps, etc. I can't resell something I don't own.
As long as it's not an OEM version that came with the computer, you can sell your operating system software. If you bought your phone apps outside of the Apple/Google store you could also resell it. DRM is what's preventing you from reselling items bought through Google Play, Steam, et.al.
It's about time that digital goods started to be treated the same as physical. The only real difference between buying a physical copy of a game from Best Buy's website, which I'd be free to resell, and ordering it off Steam, is that the first is much worse for the environment. |

| Anyone predicting doom and gloom should remember that this is the way the games industry worked for 20+ years before Steam and the other digital stores started to take over. The music and video industries for much, much longer. The companies hated it then, too, but they still did just fine. |
