  • Google just gave Sundar Pichai a $692M pay package

  • I like the idea of this website, but I think it's missing the mark.

    Let's look at music streaming. First, it doesn't list Spotify as one of the incumbents. Interesting choice considering they are the most popular service by far. But that's neither here nor there.

    We go to the alternatives listed. Tidal is a subsidiary of Block. Subscribing to Tidal is giving money to owner and CEO Jack Dorsey. With an estimated net worth of $5.9 billion, he is worth more than double Tim Cook. Seems like we're better off just sticking with Apple Music.

    Deezer is owned primarily by Access Industries, who has a 98% stake in Warner Music Group, and Orange Group, a €100 billion telecom.

    Spotify is listed as an alternative. Sundar Pichai of Google has an estimated worth of $1.6 billion. Daniel Ek of Spotify is worth over $8 billion.

    I'm not sure that these alternatives are accomplishing the mission in the body of your post.

    Nah, just stream from the Steam Machine to your Steam Deck.

  • I can't invest the time in MMOs anymore but I always miss them around this time of year. Guild Wars/Guild Wars 2 did a great job of it.

    Costume Quest is great for a single player game.

    I'll also throw out a classic - Ghost Master. You manage a team of ghosts haunting different locations.

  • Updated Inclusive Language Guide Calls Out "Sanity Check", "Hung", "Native Support"

    Jump

  • I guess I never thought about "hung" but that makes sense. I default to "frozen" anyway. Sanity check and pow-wow for sure would be better to replace.

    Isn't "dummy" originally talking about, well, a dummy? Like a crash test dummy? And then the negative connotation is applying that to a person? It seems like dummy is used properly in the context here?

    "Native" seems a bit far reaching. Native doesn't have an intrinsic negative connotation, but I guess it is used to be negative or exclusionary.

  • I haven't tried combining online + local multiplayer. It basically adds the local player to the "lobby" so I would think it might interfere.

  • Torchlight 3 and Infinite. I was a fan of Torchlight before there was Torchlight. I played Fate to death in college. I played Mythos during the beta. I probably put more hours into Torchlight and Torchlight 2 than I did into Diablo and Diablo 2 (and I put a lot of time into Diablo).

    I actually had hope for Torchlight Frontiers. I thought it seemed like it could be what Mythos was trying to be - finally an online Torchlight game.

    But then they forgot about all of that and essentially released "Torchlight 2 Mobile" but on PC.
