Your post inspired me to share a video about some wacky CES products.

I think I committed a few cardinal sins because it did not go well. Haha

Yep, that’s the joke that this AI summary doesn’t capture too well. Pretty funny, given your comment - though I guess the humour is a little deadpan.

Yeah there is some nightmare fuel out there about online baby monitors:

The list was in the description of the video, but there’s no need to watch the video if you don’t feel like consuming video right now.

Iit’s a pretty humorous look at some of the more “out there” products at CES and I feel the enjoyment is lost in text but I know what you mean - not everyone has time for every video that’s posted.

Also I didn’t really realise the video title was clickbaity. I just see “Fireship” and I watch.

Apologies if the irony of the headline is not apparent. I suppose you need to know of the content creator to know it’s very tongue in cheek.

You absolutely do not need any of these right now (or probably ever).

The quote says that app stores should be responsible for verifying age, but social media is not limited to apps - they’re just one of multiple user interfaces for interacting with social networks. So that alone cannot solve the problem.

Sorry for the confusion

Probably because the internet isn’t an app store

Similar vibes to the Lynx R1

I wonder if Epic and Gog would generate a ground-swell of support if they simultaneously announced official support for Heroic. Or even official cross-launcher support though I think Heroic would be a better long term bet.

This update also stops Windows VR headsets (WMR) from working. They decided to remove the drivers from this windows version onwards (which is the only way to get them), so it turns them into $600 paper weights.

You’re such a joker

No, I don’t think so. Maybe a couple but it’s a pretty wide net. Which ones did you think were?

The Game Awards are chosen by an international jury of over 100 global media and influencer outlets

From the FAQ

Pistol whip is also pretty great

In principal, I agree with mixing up your gaming time with other stuff but maybe you’re all good with that stuff and just looking for some ideas.

I noticed a lot of your gaming choices are very open ended experiences. Perhaps you could try playing a more “on rails” or story driven experience…

Ideas::
Sony games like Spiderman, Uncharted, God of War.
Psychonauts 2.
Titanfall 2 campaign.
Control. (? Maybe, I haven’t played it ).
Modern Warfare (the new cod) or the new Black Ops.
The latest Mortal Kombat.
Hades (1).

Or maybe something where short plays are the go, like rogue lites where you don’t feel like you need to play it forever. Good luck!

They’re just ideas but you hopefully you see what I mean. Only pick one though.

People are offering to pay for it because they understand that providing that feature would potentially cause lost revenue for Call of Duty, since (theoretically) players are buying skins so other players can see them.

I imagine there are a lot of potential solutions (I can think of a few at least) but Activision probably think the lowest risk is to do nothing.

Very nice, readable and aesthetically pleasing. I particularly like the mobile-width view.

In my opinion, it’s about both the databases and the hardware. Specifically if/when always-on cameras become socially acceptable to wear in public, then facial databases can be utilised.

Presently, I don’t think it’s socially acceptable to always be pointing a phone’s camera at someone.
