daily reminder mcc wont be fixed for another 3-5 months
Is this a meme I'm not familiar with or are they really still patching and improving the game?
They made some announcements at a livestream. They announced 4k for H5 and some fixes for MCC in the new year.
Nice. Props to them for still keeping up with the game. What fixes did they announce?

Regardless of the content, I don't think I've ever seen a video with that kind of voice acting and facial animation that was even remotely funny or clever.

Maybe some legal experts need to chime in here, but where are the laws saying I need to do what police say, even on my own property, and if I don't I can be justifiably shot? Not to my knowledge. Police don't have any more of a right to shoot someone than you do. They do have a more explicit mandate to use force when necessary to accomplish their tasks (fighting crime and providing general security), but that is limited to what's reasonable and non-excessive. They can only shoot someone when necessary to protect themselves or others from a reasonable threat and when no other means were adequate in the situation. There's a lot more (and arguably too much) leniency when judging this than there is with your average citizen because being a police officer is already a dangerous job to begin with, but you cannot be justifiably shot for not complying without there being a real danger to the officer or others. It's why these mishaps should be looked at on a case by case basis. On the one hand, the guy ultimately didn't have a gun, committed no crime and probably only dropped his hands by accident, because he couldn't hear what was said or because he was just overwhelmed with what was going on. In retrospect, there was no reason to shoot. On the other hand, the police was called there to respond to the shooting of a man and a hostage scenario where others were likely to be killed and the entire house set on fire. The US is a country with very high rates of gun violence and firearm ownership, so its officers are trained accordingly to expect or be prepared for a potential gun in every situation. When you're under the impression you're dealing with a murdering lunatic in the process of murdering his entire family, a man suddenly lowering his arms to his waist can easily come across as someone reaching for a weapon. The police were clearly in the wrong, but it's not always that easy to judge. This is for a very large part caused by the American gun culture that necessitates law enforcement to be trained in an almost combative way because every situation can potentially and very easily turn deadly due to the likelihood of a gun being involved. Almost 150 police officers were killed in the US in 2016. That's nearly 3 per week. Thousands more were assaulted with firearms the same year. And that makes it a lot more understandable why a nervous cop is a bit too quick to pull the trigger.

More Windows benchmarks for PC gaming and consumer applications. No discernible difference in the applications they ran and all benchmarks were within standard random deviations of 1-2% for games. Intel also released a statement saying any changes to performance shall be insignificant for consumers and that it'll be further mitigated down the line. https://www.computerbase.de/2018-01/intel-cpu-pti-sicherheitsluecke/#update2Intel please put money in my bank account now.

So, who else is going to be fucked?
Probably no one here. PostgreSQL (the site that first published the regression and benchmarks) itself stated that the tests were ran on a special loopback system to detect the issues. It said that real-world scenarios and actual PC's / consumer applications aren't going to see the same kind of impact. The headline-grabbing benchmarks of 30% losses are not at all representative of what we'll see in the end. There's already pre and post patch benchmarking being done and the actual impact of the changes seems to be close to zero, with some games even gaining performance and others barely losing a single frame in average FPS. The patch has been out on Windows Insider for almost 2 months already and there's been no reports of slowdowns anywhere. Due to the nature of this vulnerability / patch, it can affect I/O heavy applications and virtual machines or cloud services. Consumer PC's, games and "normal" applications are probably only going to see a small impact, if any at all.

TLDR; yeah it's totally a you-problem. Not a firmware or PSN serverside problem at all.
That's fucking dumb. Bad controller, bad download stuff. Let's just hope the games are worth it.

PS4 took me a full hour to download and install a 1GB Bloodborne update. On the Xbox One, I just downloaded and installed a full 800 MB system update in 15 minutes and am now wrapping up a 6 GB Shadow of War update at 5MB/s in under 20 minutes. What is this? Does the PS4 just suck when it comes to downloading like the PS3 did or is there something else going on here?
it's probably you
multi-gig updates take no more than 10-20 minutes for me on ps4, and my internet is decent at best
Strange. It doesn't seem to be just me though. A quick google search gives me several results on how the Xbox network speed and downloads are supposedly faster than the PS4. But yeah, it is surprising that the PS4 was that slow so there probably was some kind of issue. I'll report back next time I download something on it. :/

I've gotta say, the PS4 is pretty damn slow to update and download stuff. I'm on wired connection and this is pretty abysmal when compared to my Xbox and PC. It's like 30 minutes per GB at least.

A few top tier ones off the top of my head
Persona 5
Nier Automata
Resident Evil 7
The Witcher 3
Overwatch
Final Fantasy 14/15
Dark Souls 3
Anything else? The first two are weeby and look nothing like what I would enjoy, and all of the other ones I either already own on different platforms (overwatch, dark souls, final fantasy 15, Witcher) or would probably be better on PC or Xbox.
you're missing out on a lot if you write nier and persona off because they have weeb appeal. for being as smart and open minded as you are, i find it a little surprising you let something like that get in the way
Nier, maybe, but Persona? Ugh. I don't know what it is but I cannot stand the anime trope shit. The voice acting, the over the top reactions, the exasperated sighs and exaggerated noises that go with everything, the art style, the usual gameplay... Looking at Persona 5, there is literally nothing about the game that looks enjoyable. Everything about it is turning me off. Much of my anti-weeb attitude on here is for the joke of it (even though I really don't like anime) but I see zero things that make me want to play it. I also don't think that's got much to do with being close-minded. If you think asparagus are gross and can't stand the taste of them to begin with, it's not at all unreasonable to skip out on a slightly different asparagus-base dish. Nier, I guess, is more of a maybe. It doesn't look all that bad and could be worth a play.

Will people give you actual money in exchange for x amount of y cryptocurrency, or is the value only theoretical?
Your question is a bit odd. You can sell crypto for real money. You can use crypto for certain services and even in some actual stores. The value is no less or more theoretical than the value of most things.
Isn't a complaint that it's not backed by anything, like the dollar is gold? Not that that really means much for the dollar anymore
Well, the dollar hasn't been backed by gold since the 70's. Even if it still were, the US treasury only owns a few percent of the American M2 in actual gold. All major currencies are now essentially fiat money, being a currency where its value is determined by the markets and assigned (as well as enforced) by a government. In that sense, Bitcoin isn't too different. At this point, the interesting part about cryptocurrencies (it's very debatable whether they can actually be called "currency", btw) like Bitcoin is that they are decentralized. There's no intermediaries and no central bank managing it. This means that ledgers aren't privately managed or kept but rather fueled by mining, banks can't print out additional money, the currency is virtually immune to inflation and so on. It has some benefits due to its flexibility, but that's also the main complaint. Since there's no mainstream adoption and no central institution managing it, the "currency" is extremely volatile and insecure. It's not so much whether it's actually backed by anything physical, but rather that there's no guarantees of value given by governments or financial institutions. Right now, it has value only because other people think it's valuable, and that's scary stuff.
Also, just to add on to this, the second big complaint people have about crypto is how easily it can be used for criminal purposes. Due to the lack of a central institution or mediaries, there's no effective way of keeping track of money flows as they happen securely in digital ledgers and between anonymous/pseudonymous users. This makes the likes of Bitcoin very suitable for money laundering, fraud, tax evasion and all sorts of criminal things because unlike with "real" money, there's almost no room for the authorities to investigate this, nor can they turn to the intermediaries or central bank to hand over records or help them identify criminals or flows of criminal money. Alonside the volality and lack of control, this is another big reason why a lot of people, businesses and governments are apprehensive of crypto.

Wow, I take back that invite to play PUBG with you now. Economics is boring as hell, but I know my fair share of this kinda stuff.

Pretty good episode, although I feel like the monster was a bit rushed and could've lasted another episode or so. It was disappointing to see it end so quickly. They set it up over the course of several episodes and then just keep ramping up how powerful it is (not only is is it huge, strong and fast, but wow it's also got echo location hearing abilities, and then damn it can punch through dimensions, and then holy shit it's even got wings and can fly...) only to then have it knocked out in like 30 seconds by 17's shield punch and then the beam that just ends in a white light and plop - fight over. Especially when it was about to blow up the entire arena and knock out everyone, I was expecting Jiren's squad to also join in or something.
Could've been a lot better had then spanned it over another episode imo, bit of a letdown seeing how short this was.
