I've been partial to https://mailinator.com, but some services are getting wise to it (and blocking *@mailinator.com addresses). Thanks for sharing an alternative!

He was probably one of the best community managers for any company ever. He did a ton to connect Xbox as a brand with gamers, communicating as a two-way process and (seemingly) bringing about change with Xbox as a result of this process.

Whereas most community managers start strong with a couple of good blog posts and a promise to "listen more", Major Nelson actually kept this up... for the better part of two decades.

For real. And even if they were to find the users, which is a longshot, those people could say, "no one tells the truth on the internet."

This fishing expedition is a waste of resources.

Any good TV will be a smart TV. Just don't connect it to the internet and it'll effectively be another basic TV.

Really not a great article. Okay, there's tension and challenge that exists today. But what tools and approaches are working? Which companies, frameworks, or postures are effective?

I played for about two hours today. It's fun, though not spectacular. Feels a lot like Destiny 2's Gambit game mode (but no buttery-smooth announcer).

I'm not too invested in the story personally. It seems like there's a decent amount of depth here for those who are.

The game really needs per-class tutorials, or at least in-game descriptions of class abilities. I've been paying as the grenade dude and I have no clue what exactly my RB ability does.

There's enough here to keep my interest for a few weekends at minimum. Glad to see it's on Game Pass!

Will this also be held up by Little Tommy Tuberville?

These firefight changes are crazy! It's amazing what they've been able to dig up from all that old code.

Halo 3 Escalation sounds super well done and way more in line with the Halo Infinite mode.

I'm more excited for the home screen selector than I should be.

This, but data scientists!

I used to fall asleep watching Twister on VHS. Something about the substandard quality and tracking sound really sealed the deal when I needed to catch some Zzz's.

I watched it so many times that I wore out the tape.

Corporate profits are hitting record highs but yet we, the customer, are expected to prop up wages? Nah, I'm with this guy.

One word: Bonnie Ross

343 was plagued by just awful leadership for ages. They've always have talented devs (just look at the latest MCC update!) but their "follow the leader" approach to the series' growth, coupled with a pattern of putting making cash over releasing a great game, was a losing strategy from the start. Good riddance to those folks.

Could you merge Spotify tracks with, say, Bandcamp tracks on a single playlist?

Yes. "30+M" means "over 30 million subscribers".

Could you help me understand here?

I know you can make a Spotify playlist of content hosted via Spotify. You can also add your own locally-provided (e.g. mp3) content to this playlist. But can you also add content from a different streaming service to your Spotify playlist?

I used to keep the portable version on a flash drive with a few dozen of my favorite tracks. Such a fantastic player.

Yeah, gotta search for the full "simply Lemmy but as a webapp" in order to actually find the right thing

If you have friends to play with, yes. If not, wait for a sale.

I've been playing couch co-op with my partner and we're having a blast. The campaign is fun, progression comes at a good pace, and loot offers enough of a push to experiment and explore with builds.

D4 is a lot like Destiny in that it's not easy to find and link up with others players within the game.

Doesn't Winamp already do this?
