For someone who has never seen Dune (1984) before... do you recommend a specific version? I hear there are a few different cuts out there. Watch the original cinematic cut. Avoid anything that says it's an extended version.
The Blu-ray version is actually pretty nice quality. And the film has aged well IMO. |

Unfortunately a fair number of sites are just plain broken on Firefox. I contacted support for a particular web app and they flat out told me "yeah sorry, we only support Chrome". It really is IE all over again.
And yeah, I completely disable all my add-ons before concluding a site is truly broken on Firefox. |

| Booking.com was so over the top with their pressure to book now, one would hope most people could see through that BS. Still nice to see someone trying to fix that mess. |

I haven't paid much attention to this game. Am I interpreting EA-speak correctly here?
VIP Demo = closed paid beta
Open Demo = open beta |

Not very impressive compared to what's been standard in Japan for a long time when it comes to tubs and toilets. For a much lower price.
Maybe someday the US can catch up, though. |

It would be a lot easier to compare images in that slideshow if it didn't flash white every time you switch images.
Cool stuff though. |

"Turns out, it does not cost 30% to distribute games in 2018,"
all you need is another $150 million in funding! |

A solo developer who can code systems but can't ship a game. Who woulda thought?
Still sad, though. He should've either teamed up with someone or pulled the plug years ago. |

| You can use regular Firefox with uBlock Origin and uMatrix on Android too. More blocking, more control, and consistent experience with the same stuff on non-mobile. |

| They really nailed it with this new map. The pacing is just right. Intense battles with less waiting in the mid-game, yet it doesn't feel rushed like their previous botched attempt to speed things up. The environment kinda reminds me of BC2 Vietnam - less pretty, but bigger and more open. |

| According to the Firefox and Chrome add-on sites, about ~1.5M people are using uMatrix, NoScript, or similar add-ons which block this crap. |

IIII? Seriously?
We've reached a new low. I never even considered the possibility that someone could do something this stupid. Bravo BLOPSers. |

| He's a smart guy but like many smart guys he's super dumb when it comes to PR. The ping-based matchmaking is real and it works. The difference after they implemented that was dramatic. He should be calling it the most effective means of region locking and highlighting how well it works in practice compared to other methods like blocking IP ranges. Pings are limited by the speed of light and there's no circumventing that unless you invent FTL communications. (Maybe PU's hidden goal here is to bring about the next revolution in communications technology...) |

At only $30 for an account (and less in China) they require money from key purchases and the vig from crate transactions for the cash flow to keep their servers running and their developers paid. If the player base dries up, this puts their cash flow in jeopardy. Go look at the graphs on Steamspy, the max daily CCUs are on a downtrend. They're still extremely high, so it's just a pinhole leak right now, but if they don't patch it up there's a danger it could grow into a serious breach. (And who the hell names their company "Bluehole" anyway? You're just asking for it at that point.) Their servers are using AWS and/or Azure which means they're easily scalable according to demand, especially in the downward direction. And employee count can also be scaled according to cash flow. That is normal business.
I looked at the all-time CCU graphs on steamdb.info for PUBG and the next two most popular games on Steam (Dota 2 and CS). I don't see any sort of downward trend or other data that suggests PUBG is even remotely in trouble. |
