It also broke stuff for players. Like right now my main ship can't enter hyperspace because that tech got packaged up. I can easily package up the tech that did get auto-installed and put my hyperdrive back in, but I'll still be missing over half my tech from my ship until I grind out the slot...

You don't seem to have any idea about what kind of game Destiny really is. It's not a packaged box online shooter with DLC; it's an evolving platform that has to support an MMORPGFPS game. So, you're conception of a game like Destiny being 'done' and further updates just being content is...

The Agent trademark was abandoned last year. That's probably the closest we'll get to confirmation it's been cancelled, sorry.

Funnily enough about a decade ago I remember finding my original launch copy of Half Life, only to realise I couldn't play it cos the key that had been printed on the CD case had faded and worn off. I've lost / damaged so many games over my decades of living, but I've yet to lose anything from...

I would hope that the continuing revenue & development model for a game like R6S would largely get rid of the need for crunch and the associated fatigue. From the outside R6S looks like it's being developed more like a typical business application rather than a game that has to hit specific ship...

Why police? Suicide is not a crime. Agreed there should probably be social workers / mental health professionals keeping a lookout and maybe trying to speak to anyone entering the forest though.

Think about how quickly YouTube can take down content though. People are constantly trying to upload child porn to YT, and that gets taken down immediately. YT has to have an army of content moderators to function. In this case, the video was reported almost immediately, manually reviewed, and...

SC is not anywhere close to being a game. 3.0 is just an alpha that has been delayed for 8 months now - it was due in Dec '16, and will most likely come out around Dec '17 - and there is no final release date in sight. For a game that was announced 5 years ago for a release 3 years ago, this...

So let me get this straight: the NSA has been harvesting communications *about* surveillance targets? So if I sent a message that happened to include the name of a target person or organisation, it would have been collected? Presumably they would have been flooded with every mention of ISIS, Al...

Im not paying to read the full article,so I wonder: we're these wages actually paid? My understanding was that the cuneiform in mesopotamia was a history of debt records. Just because beer rations were the unit of measurement doesn't mean everyone was consuming that amount of beer. A good...

That Glouctestershire Echo article states the only one person has ever been sacked, while the Ars article states that nobody was sacked between June 2014 to early 2016. It's worth letting that sink in. People get sacked from DWP and HMRC for unauthorised access of customer databases all the...

Minor correction: Universal Credit should be capitalised. It took me a couple of tries to parse the headline until I realised it was about the benefit. It's incredibly difficult to communicate how complex the DWP is to outsiders. We're talking about a department that employs ~100k people, and...

At the start of this year D3:ROS-UEE was £24 on PSN for PS4. I'd put off buying it due to already owning it on PC, but that made me go for it.

Feminism was taken over by the far right on Reddit a long time ago. Anyone who attempts to call out the Feminism moderator, or highlight their awfulness, get banned quite rapidly.

No, insider trading is very serious. I'm a fairly low ranking employee for a large publicly traded company and even I have it drilled into me that I have to be careful about trading the stock of the company I work for. Any information I come across during my working day is likely to materially...

I would have thought that a big company like EA would automatically have a solution for the Scunthorpe problem in their profanity filters. Edit: pipped to the post!

There are still units in the Met - such as the Territorial Support Group - that kill on the streets with impunity. Ian Tomlinson was a bystander killed during a demonstration on his way home from work.. It took two inquests before the killer, Simon Harwood, was dismissed from the force. He was...

OCR of handwritten text is still quite a hard problem; writing on lined paper makes it harder. Even organisations with large datasets of handwritten documents to calibrate their OCR on still find it difficult.

I drive my car in neutral all the time, especially in heavy traffic. It's called coasting and is against the law because it makes it harder to stop, but it saves fuel. I guess it might be hard to do if you have automatic transmission, but it's one of the great benefits of driving stick. As to...

To everyone above who reckons that labels are good value for artists - you're demented. I remember reading a comment someone who works in the studio with Dizzee Rascal on Slashdot, he said that they got a free holiday to Argentina, put up in a five star hotel the entire time they were there and...
