I'm sorry I have nothing helpful to add, other than congratulating you on the achievement of filling up a Gmail account. That is impressive.

Google should send out awards for that. Like, if you get a Youtube play button for having 1 million subscribers, they should give you some kind of "I'll get to it later" button for having 1 million unread emails in your inbox.

Yeah, this is perfectly consistent with the idea that people don't want to read AI generated news at all.

The title of the paper they are referencing is Or they could just not use it?: The paradox of AI disclosure for audience trust in news. So the source material definitely acknowledges that. And that is a great title, haha.

Eight Points is the George Santos of game studios.

I think the next best thing we could get would be Sega releasing a Dreamcast Mini, which apparently they thought about, but scrapped.

I'm kind of surprised that they didn't pull the plug as soon as they saw what happened with Avengers. That game did not make money. So even greedy assholes had a reason to change direction on this one.

The concept of Brainiac taking over the Justice League, including Superman so the Suicide Squad has to be called-in has so much fun potential, especially with how Rocksteady handled the Arkham series.

Definitely! That's what makes this live service game so confusing. Rocksteady knows how to make a great game with a great setting, and those have made a bunch of money. But instead, someone saw what happened with Avengers and thought, "second time's the charm?"

I am posting this purely so that I can say that I called it:

No, it won't. This game will be very unpopular and they will abandon support for it quickly.

The Ghost Recon theme has been stuck in my head off and on ever since it came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwLIHqkqHcw

I didn't even play the game that much -- I think I beat it once, played the multiplayer a little, and moved on. But the music is catchy.

I never played the classic "Quest" games that Sierra made, but they published a bunch of really good ones from other developers, too.

I remember their logo coming up before each of the Half-Life, SWAT, Tribes, and F.E.A.R. games. I was always like, "dang, someone there knows how to pick 'em."

I always thought it would have been cool if Pokemon were only found in environments that were "realistic" to that type. Like, if you had to go to a river to find water Pokemon, or if Geodude was only in the mountains. Seems like they didn't do that, though.

Yeah, I actually haven't seen the nag screen in a couple days, whereas I was seeing it often last week. Whatever updated circumvention uBlock has figured out, it's working just about perfectly.

Then I guess it's just down to cookies?

I assume so. But I don't see why they would need your main session's cookies to tell if you're using an ad blocker. I'm guessing this is still something left over from when they were giving you one nag-free video per day, so private tabs will probably see the nag screen too eventually.

I just checked and I do have uBO enabled for private windows, so I'm not sure why it isn't getting caught. I started doing it because I noticed that YouTube was giving one "free" view per day, and then your second view would get the nag screen. So I figured the private window might make you show up as a new person each time, so you always get the initial nag-free video.

But it seems like the nag screen shows up even on the first view now, so I'm not sure why this private tab trick is still working.
