    Tetris Effect uses VR to drop puzzle pieces directly into your brain

    I love Tetris. Always have and always will. But I have to say that it wont be the game that makes me put down for PSVR. I still dont have it, I dont know if I will anytime soon but you make it sound awesome. My other thing is, $40 for Tetris? Dont get me wrong, like I said, I love Tetris...

    Dealmaster: Take 20% off video game pre-orders with Prime while you can

    That sounds like total bs. Back in the day you pre-ordered because of shortages but I cant remember the last time I heard of a shortage in video games. Maybe I could see this if it was being filled from a small shop or dropshipper but not fulfilled by Amazon. I would hit up CS and call them...

    Dealmaster: Take 20% off video game pre-orders with Prime while you can

    This is not a terrible 'downgrade' taken in a vacuum. However, Amazon seems to be in a reverse powercreep. They raised the cost of Prime, but are hitting Twitch Prime and pre-orders with soft downgrades. Shopping has become more complex because of the insane amounts of Chinese...

    Oscillating brain goes regular before migraine pain hits

    That is awful. I have heard of all sorts of stuff always seemingly bringing people into my life that have migraines (maybe I am the trigger? lol) but paralysis is not one of them. I am glad something as 'simple' as birth control can help.

    Oscillating brain goes regular before migraine pain hits

    I know you are probably speaking from a medical intervention point of view but the best advice I have seen given is journaling. My mother and a handful of others in my life experience migraines (I had my first one a few weeks ago, so lucky to be in the club now). To find triggers and also...

    Nintendo hid a load-your-own NES emulator inside a GameCube classic

    Lets get some real Nintend-ception going on and load a ROM of Animal Crossing to load an NES emulator to load a ROM of NES games from an emulated memory card.

    LG G7 ThinQ hands-on—An LG G6 with an iPhone X-style notched display

    As I read this, I am torn. The article feels a little abrasive, but the fact is that my LG G3 was a fantastic phone, and my G5 is still kicking ass. While I may not upgrade, I have to ask myself if your cons are enough to buck the trend of great experiences with LG phones. Of course there...

    Verizon won’t be using tax cut to boost spending on network upgrades

    Not to mention that poster seems to be overlooking the hazards of not regulating an industry that operates monopolies in many places in the country. The market these folks crow about day in and day out will not fix itself when there is no competition.

    Verizon won’t be using tax cut to boost spending on network upgrades

    By comparison, the government of South Carolina increased its gasoline tax for the first time in 30 years in 2017. I work for the Department of Transportation and before the funds were even tangibly available, we had plans on utilizing it to do what we said we wanted to do - fix shit. Now...

    EA has tested online matchmaking algorithms to favor “engagement,” not fairness

    I am getting to the point now where it feels like it would be more fun to fuck with these companies than play their games. Get a ton of people to pre-order to make them look good to their stockholders, then all cancel the day before to let their holders down. When they do this manipulative...

    Death Stranding’s Game Awards trailer left us the best kind of confused

    I mean, Hideo has not once let me down. So I am stoked. Plus I love weird shit. Now, do I wish he was still at Konami so he could work on another Act of MGSV, another ZOE or the Silent HIll project he was on, briefly? Sure. In fact, if I was a multi-billionaire I would probably try to buy...

    LG disappointed by sales of flagship smartphone

    I am rather fond of both the G3 I had and the G5 I have currently. I am not sure that it will be necessary to upgrade next year but I look forward to seeing what they do with the G7. The funny thing about the snarky comments people make in regards to the G5 is that its expansion slot was...

    Army looks at “cyber soldiers” for front lines as battlefield changes

    Andy Rubin’s Essential phone is a Sprint exclusive

    I dont live in the city, but do work there. Use elevators some what regularly, but even if my phone doesn't pick up in one, I mean, I am usually off in seconds. Idk, I am pretty varied. There are times it can be spotty at my house, but then I use wifi calling. Several years back I lived in...

    Andy Rubin’s Essential phone is a Sprint exclusive

    Came here to see the Sprint hate, did not disappoint. I have been a Sprint customer since I was a Nextel customer, so roughly 16 years now. I have never had a reason to leave, and unless they sell out to a terrible company, I do not see myself leaving. The customer service has been beyond...

    Microsoft’s Teams is an almost excellent Slack-killer, and it’s now live for O365

    I am excited for Teams. I am working to implement this at the state agency I work at for use in Emergency Management. It is easy to implement because we already have Office. The broad, threaded, and stored messaging aspects appeal heavily to an emergency situation that spans days, weeks or...

    Hands on with the triangular Nanoleaf Aurora smart lighting system

    Would there happen to be any way to schedule light changes to say, shift from one color to the next at 6am to shift from a night time, low light setting to a wake up softly setting?
