Pretty sure it was just an excuse for the authors to play Halo, but skimming the study it still looks like valid science.

Most magazines are just ads.
- Comment on Upscaling is actually good (as an option) 3 days ago:
If I really need upscaling, I just let my monitor do it with bilinear scaling or whatever. No fancy hardware required.

Why stop there?
- Comment on Japan's prime minister is mad about Assassin's Creed Shadows where players can destroy the contents of religious sites 1 week ago:
It looks like “attack and destroy the contents of religious sites such as the Itatehyouzu Shrine” means you can break the clutter scattered around the area, like a pot or a bench. You don’t deface the shrine itself.

Ok but what do I do when it’s the entire country

Seeing Lego just milking brands is pretty disappointing.

- Comment on The creator of upcoming life sim Inzoi says he was "recklessly brave to even think about creating a game of this scale" 2 weeks ago:
No, that’s how it was intended, and how most people read it.
- Comment on EA's Skate Gets Microtransactions Before Its Release Date 2 weeks ago:
It Takes Two was pretty well received.
- Comment on EA's Skate Gets Microtransactions Before Its Release Date 2 weeks ago:
New environments, new tricks, higher quality graphics, fixed bugs, runs on the current console (since backwards compatibility isn’t always a thing). Multiplayer, if Skate 3 didn’t have it already.

I don’t know if Wayfarer accounts have to be deleted separately. Deleting one of these accounts might delete them all.
- Comment on Everybody's working for the weekend (in the US) 2 weeks ago:
Maybe they work flex time, so they can take time off during the week to do other stuff with their family. Or maybe they’re not working at all, could be organizing sports stuff for their kid. Or doing an online class or something.
- Comment on Trump revokes collective bargaining rights at TSA to crush union 2 weeks ago:
Considering the TSA frequently fails up to up to 95% of tests, I’m going to guess the number of uneventful loaded firearms on planes is much higher.
- Comment on Itch.io California Fire Relief Bundle - 422 items (187 games) for $10 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, all bundles have been like this. A few good ones and the rest hardly even worth playing for free.
But if you want to donate directly, you can do that here: www.coreresponse.org
Charity navigator gives them a 98% and four stars: www.charitynavigator.org/ein/271703237
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 4 weeks ago:
Intellectual property is what allows them to make these games GPL.
- Comment on quantitative analysis tools 4 weeks ago:
I’m not sure that those exact tools exist, or are in common use, outside of Excel or business tools like SAP. I don’t think you can meaningfully programmatically assign a number to a software update adding features, at least without a human doing the analysis and making a judgement call.
Well, you could use some LLM to read the release notes and generate a number, but I doubt it would have any more value than the human doing it.
More generally, analyses like “if we update and shit breaks we lose $x per day” aren’t, to my knowledge and in my experience, tracked in any formal software system, just stuff like Excel and SAP.
- Comment on quantitative analysis tools 4 weeks ago:
I’d start by looking for risk management frameworks. There are a lot, depending on country and industry. They’ve already done a lot of the work for you, and you can pick and choose the parts that are relevant and easiest to start with.
- Comment on Favourite Metroid game? 5 weeks ago:
That was an objectively good game. Small and short, but good.
Hunters, on the other hand, not great.
- Comment on Valve have just updated the Source 1 SDK on GitHub to the latest code based on Team Fortress 2, effectively making TF2 code source available 5 weeks ago:
Or maybe they did because they had this in the works.
- Comment on For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis 1 month ago:
Nazis are human. Cruelty is all too human. The problem is, some people are completely beyond help, and will kill you just for existing, the first chance they get. You have to be ready if that happens, because it might happen sooner than you think.
- Comment on For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis 1 month ago:
Yes, though self-defense may be justifiable.
- Comment on For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis 1 month ago:
Nobody is talking about cosplay nazis.
