I (from the US) visited my cousins in Italy, and as we were driving around, my cousin and his best friend were joking back and forth in Italian, and it ended with him just kissing his friend on the cheek out of nowhere. It was very cute and entirely non sexual lol. Got a kick out of it since i don't really see that at all in the US.

Ugh annoying headline. "Buttonless" implies the buttons are disappearing, like the home button. The articles says they might be using "solid state buttons" which, I think, are a bit like the Macbook trackpads, there's no real button but it still acts and responds just like a trackpad button.

The lock and volume buttons likely will still be there, just won't physically move, and use haptic feedback instead.

It doesn't. If a PC is so infected you can't change simple settings like search engine, it's time to reformat.

If it's a Mac it'll somehow be amazing in every regard yet still come with only 8gb of RAM and a 250gb drive.

Spaghetti, olive oil, butter, and grated pecorino! A slightly fancier mac n cheese more or less.

Agreed. If you're a device maker and you haven't considered the possibility of your users plugging in their devices for long periods of time in your design, then i feel that's on you to improve your product.

Does anyone else remember growing up being told "watch what you put on the internet! it'll be there forever!" Now it seems more and more like things out on the internet won't be there forever unless someone specifically wants it to. I seem to having a harder and harder time digging up parts of the internet i remember from my childhood, the old parts are slowly being erased by entropy and lack of desire to keep them there.

If you spent 16 hours of gameplay with Abby and her story and her relationship with Lev and Owen and then rest of her friends and all you came away with is that she's "the funny muscle lady", then ya you did miss out on this game.

Did you play it? If so, fair enough, but if not you're missing out in my opinion. When it was announced i never believed i'd ever question whether a sequel could top the story told by the original, how could it? Playing through it a second time i do have that question now, it's that good.

Napkins seem like a pretty normal thing to expect at any eating establishment.

Interesting, i feel somewhat the opposite. i do camera repairs on film cameras, and having the exploded diagrams and manufacturers service guide is great, but a video of someone doing a full disassembly and reassembly is generally much more helpful in that context and allows me to scrub through the video to the parts i need for my repair.

Dying Light is great, but there is an old little-known Ubisoft game that i love called I Am Alive which is like a parkour horror/survival game. It's not very long and some of its mechanics are repetitive and boring, but the core gameplay is really cool and not something that was replicated anywhere else. If you can find it cheap, it's worth the few hours it takes to go through.
