Yes, it's a pretty common korean and chinese name.

I like how your pronouns are "equipped". Got you a pocket full of pronouns. DOn't you drop them, or nobody will be allowed to talk about you!

You're joking, right? Pre-2012, it was one of the most visited sites on the internet and in the top 20 gaming sites. They weren't some no-name blog. Then after they hired Totilo, their shitty pop-tabloid reporting became so infamous even Forbes had articles about it, well before gamergate was ever a thing. This all used to be sourced info on the wiki page.

Trauma from torture can be overcome. A lingering connection to the Borg is lifelong.

Nah, Kotaku had a shit reputation for years before gamergate got shat into existence. Their reporting was sloppy and often wrong, most of them sucked at the games they were reviewing, they spammed out vapid clickbait articles about nothing to farm ad rev. The only reason people respect them now is because they were positioned opposite gamergate, as if two things can't both suck.

This is from a couple months back. Still excited, though.

The one that kills me is the PC release of Project Diva. Denuvo usually gets pulled after a year or so, because it's not a one-time purchase for the publisher, they charge a recurring license fee. But for some ungodly reason, SEGA's decided to keep paying to have it in a rhythm game. For two and a half years, you just... sometimes lose inputs or miss a note you should've hit, because Denuvo decided you're gonna stutter just there.

TL;DR they think he should look at electoral reform again

A huge wedge of the liberal voter base were disenfranchised when Trudeau promised electoral reform, practically guaranteed it, and then just announced they weren't going to do it but don't worry here's legal weed. Many of them were youth voting for the first time, and that betrayal set the tone. If he set it in motion before the election, is it possible they'd recapture at least some of that base? Sure. Would I vote for him? Not a chance.

Setting aside that the industry professionals definitely count it as current gen for sales metrics, that's fuckin, irrelevant when the statement is about all three of last gen, current gen, and next gen. Whichever one you want to call the Switch part of, it's the best selling console of that generation, so the statement that AMD sold chips the best selling console of that generation is false. Unless you want to make the claim the Switch is from 2006, they are incorrect.

How can the switch be a different console from last gen, current gen, and next gen? Those are literally the only generations it could be considered part of.

it's also a great win for AMD, in general, to provide the hardware behind the two biggest consoles on the market for two consecutive (and a third upcoming) console generations.

Doesn't the Switch have as much market share as the other two combined?

They were popular gags that dominated the millennial YouTube landscape. I can't say they were American things since I'm not American and they were still popular here. Possible you just missed, the internet's big

 

I noticed my posts on Lemmy.world stopped showing up to my account from that instance, and looking back, it seems like nothing I've posted for the last 4 days has federated.
