They’re condemning microtransaction-based models, so it might not be bad… but I’ll believe it when I see it.

That seems to be Tynan’s MO. I like it. No hype, no teasers, just quietly works until he has something worth selling.

Perfect! We’d have pretty low utilization on those 80 CPUs, though – if we made them smaller, the power draw would be lower and it would be cheaper. We could then get away with adding more CPUs. It would then make sense to put the array of simple CPUs on its own card, dedicated to graphics processing… wait a minute.

With a name like that I hope it involves nuke-powered spaceships.

Vulnerable workers who need the job and don’t know that this sort of thing is usually illegal.

This would indeed result in no more war, at all. I fail to see the problem. (Besides that it wouldn’t work, of course – but it’s a nice fantasy.)

The publisher also did Rise of Kong, and they’re literally called GameMill. And it looks like they’ve made a whole lot of terrible games, most based on well-known franchises. Seems their MO is to make games as cheaply as possible, cash in on the franchise fans buying before reading reviews, and turn a profit even on lousy, lousy titles.

It seems that hyphnenation is becoming a lost art.

The CNN article says that he was selling horns to people in Manhattan. Jurisdiction for international crimes is complicated and I don’t know anything about it really, but my guess is that even if he never personally visited the States, he’s still considered to have committed crimes there – if a drug smuggler used a catapult to launch packages of drugs across the border, it would make sense for them to be charged in the US even if they didn’t ever step foot on American soil.

Minecraft has the wonkiest difficulty. After you pass the first three nights or so, Hard is generally easier than Easy.
