coincidentally we also ruined our web app.

Geographically isolated groups of a single species will show variations of behavior and psychology that is affected by their environment and genetic predispositions – that seems like a pretty reasonable take.

call it reasonable or plausible or whatever you want, but for it to be science it needs empirical evidence and predictive value. Failing that you just have "reasonable" hypotheses, and one person's "reasonable" is another person's racist/sexist/transphobic/whatever, especially when the hypotheses emphasize nature over nurture. That's the problem with evolutionary psychology.

Firstly, I am a different person adding to the discussion.

Secondly, you do have the ability to look into things beyond what you are directly given by others. you have the entire internet at your disposal. That criticism page was one click away from the original article, hardly "spelunking" if you were legitimately interested in criticism of the field. I figured I would help you out with a little more information, and you downvote. So something tells me you aren't actually interested in learning anything here, just burying comments you don't like.

Lastly, as i said, you need to do some reading between the lines. Obviously no one is going to present their field in an overtly racist manner. All the criticism above leads to politiziation in the field, including racism. When you are not bound by empirical science, personal biases fill the void.

the real turing test.

cool. but i thought they made a big deal about apple's developer policies when they dropped safari support years ago.

i think you are misunderstanding the point of the no preorder movement. There never should have been an expectation for it to improve the Day 1 quality of game releases.

The main benefit of not preordering is consumer protection, so we can judge a game's quality after people who we trust have played and review it. That protection is worth more than whatever paltry nonsense publishers bundle with preorders.

the principle applies to literally all games anyway, but the youtuber almost certainly did that to get clicks.

but now you get special armor that's relevant for a whole 10 minutes of game time.

for example, say you are waiting to make a left turn, it would be nice to know if oncoming cars are braking or not. if they are stopped and you see their brake lights turning off, you can judge if you should hurry up or not turn at all.

and honestly i have the same problem with that intended use. it often looks like a stopped car is attempting to turn out into traffic. IMO emergency lights should have a faster blink pattern or something to differentiate from turn signals.
