"design critics" are the worst because they spend all their time going to conferences and talking about design instead of y'know designing stuff and the more successful you are as a pundit the further you are from any kind of actual design jakob nielsen never designed anything in his life, he just learned a set of hci heuristics in the 80s and wrote 1000 articles applying them to websites

it'd be like a film critic doing a frame-by-frame analysis of a film in order to point out matte lines around a character in a green screen shot

i think apple arcade is gonna be super attractive to parents. its gaming without: - risk of the kid buying iap - bullshit grind and loot box mechanics to push iap - voice chat online matches with teenagers saying the vilest poo poo - probably even violent games - privacy worries and all this on devices with the strongest parental controls around. (nintendo has a very similar value proposition)

nintendos refusal to go ~social~ really is a stone cold long term play that i hope works out for them, i respect apple for the same, but they are indeed in a position where it isn't much hardship.

I downloaded a bunch of archived USENET files from 1981 I was interested in looking at, the only problem is that I can't open the files as they seem to be ".101" and increase (.102, .103 etc.). I looked it up and apparently I need the Apple II operating system to open them? wtf?

yeah, so they're not binaries, they're plaintext files for each post e: or you're looking at the tarballed archives, in which case you can dump the contents, which are plaintext infernal machines fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jun 11, 2019 |

infernal machines posted:remember when you said xbox one was the last xbox? from the Verge quote:The head of Xbox just unveiled a new console, but Phil Spencer isn’t too worried about selling you one. “I don’t need to sell any specific version of the console in order for us to reach our business goals,” the told me in an interview yesterday, the day after Microsoft held its annual E3 keynote. they don't even sound enthusiastic about selling the console. but you're right, they are now talking about AMD, CPUs, SSDs, etc, so there's less doubt in my mind that there will be a traditional console successor to Xbox One. prior to this, they were talking about servers, xCloud and Game Pass when talking about the future of Xbox. But look at the Project Scarlett reveal. It literally opens like this: quote:When we think about gaming, it's not just consoles, it's not just mobile, it's really all of the above. does it really sound like they care about making a console or making some kind of cross-platform streaming service?

Microsoft has been trying to make the Xbox more than just game console since the original Xbox. The only reason they made the Xbox in the first place was because they were afraid Sony was going to take over the living room and from there the PC. Then it turned out that it was smart phones that are killing most of the PC market.
