Yeah, I didn’t have any issues with them until recently when every other outlet started copying it and they seemingly cranked it to 11 in response. They’d work great as taglines but I prefer descriptive titles so I don’t have to “figure out” the topic. Feels antithetical to the purpose of a headline

I wish they DID trademark it so half the gaming news websites didn’t follow suit

It feels very…corporate. Forced casual

Why can’t RPS write a normal headline for once

It’s not a language thing, they do it to be quirky…

Sure. But it’s not like the technology they developed is useless outside of an autonomous city, I’m sure they went into it knowing it would never be implemented for real.

Years ago, Microsoft was doing some R&D on autonomous vehicles in a mock city built for it. Instead of each vehicle doing all of the processing, the fake city was built with wireless markers to GIVE the car the information. Like instead of having to “see” a stop sign, the stop sign told cars it was there.

It would be complicated and expensive to implement on a mass scale but I thought it was a really cool idea.

I have no idea why chatgpt got so obsessed with em dashes when the vast majority of online discourse uses a hyphen in its place

Also I’d say it’s not the existence of em dashes that makes chatgpt text obvious but how it’s used. The way chatgpt structures a sentence with an em dash is unfortunately (fortunately?) very obvious

Got any workshop recommendations? I tried a few right after beating the game but found them lackluster. I’m guessing there’s a lot more now

Each level has multiple things to steal/destroy but once you pick up/destroy the first thing, the alarm goes off and a timer starts.

The gameplay is mostly setting up the heist. You break holes in walls, build bridges, set up chain reactions, etc to find a route that picks up everything and escape in time. You have limited ammo but you get unlimited spray paint to mark the path for yourself

I know some people hate it but my only complaint is that some of the DLC is pretty meh. Base game is a blast, though!

[Edit] also, I would avoid watching anyone play it BUT it won’t necessarily spoil any “solutions” because there’s an infinite amount of ways you can beat a level

I feel the same way but mainly I don’t like playing “wait and think” games online because of the pressure

Teardown is a fun single player heist game, not that you asked for suggestions. Kind of want to play it again now hmmm…

Not only is it still running on private servers, those private servers have the blessing of the original devs. If I’m remembering correctly, they even provided the admins some dev tools and code

The title really sells it as “video you should not watch under any circumstances”

Sounds like the genre’s just not for you. I also don’t enjoy games like this BUT it’s not wasting time if you’re having fun

I don’t really like games like this (I know Hollow Knight is a masterpiece if you do) but I’d be tempted to buy it for $20 just to support the studio

They should just train a bunch of pigeons to drop leaflets around town

One of the biggest artist in the world using cassettes feels like cultural appropriation lol

Yeah, not connecting the AI Robo Dog 2026 to the Internet will surely work. Corporations like this love to give users control like that, right? You probably don’t even have to sign up for an account

I assumed they meant “stop giving Amazon money” because “stop using the internet entirely” is a such a ridiculous suggestion

I don’t use AWS! Are all the data centers gone yet?

If it was a pavlovian response, it would have been in my first reply.

I’d ask for a Wikipedia article about Pavlov but I worry you’d send an unrelated link
