The headline doesn’t fit the actual article well. Some editor had a Halo focus, I guess. LOL.
I linked only due to the gaming reference in an article about Ukraine’s tech focus in fighting Russia.

Which is made funnier by the fact Russia’s tech focus against Ukraine was paying Tim Pool money for stuff he was already saying 
(obvs not their only tech I just wanted to kick Tim Pool while he’s down)

AI scraped and generated clickbait?

I think an AI generated article would have not been able to make this much of a stretch

LOL. Normal editors are often inclined to “jazz up” headlines. It drives me nuts. Too much yellow journalism and too little use of the news “pyramid” writing style.
Some online “news sources” bury the key info several long paragraphs into the article. That’s deliberate … to get in reading time after click to lengthen.

Oh man I hate this practice, and it’s always so obvious when the first three lines are giving you a quick background on the term/person/company or the history or like, over explains what a genre is, “halo, the hit first person shooter, a genre wherein the players view point is from the characters, first popularised in the early nineties with doom and Wolfenstein, itself an evolution of 3d maze games that appeared in the 80s largely in the homebrew market and demoscene. The demoscene was a…”
I’m just riffing off the top of my dome but you get the picture, padding out the articles with the first sentences of every wiki page until you’ve enough to cover three ads, then get to the point mentioned in the headline.
I’ve just learned via muscle memory to scroll down to the bottom and work my way back up, it’s usually all in the last two paragraphs.
Off the shelf tech, especially if it offers mobility, is often used in warzones. I don’t have to look but I’m almost certain the guts of a Gameboy were probably repurposed for something during the gulf war, if even just as a switch or remote.
Maybe that’s why the last two consoles were called the switch and had a wiimote controller? Just a sly wink and a nod to the rebels and marines out there for supporting their products

I think y’all misunderstood about a news article at MSN.
The headline for the article comes from the linked news sources: Business Insider. It’s not “made up” by Microsoft.

Hilarious! And you could see the fish too! Now I will be looking for close planets. I used to have a base on one that was close to another but abandoned it because I could not call my Freighter in. The atmosphere of the 2 planets were merged. That must be what happened here.

So someone recreated the ending of Portal 2 in NMS? Very Cool 
Cave Johnson approves of this science!!
Is this player using some form of GUI mods? I noticed that the positioning of markers doesn’t reflect how it generally appears, some of the points are floating in space away from the planet and their guiding line ends in space too. Or is it just some bug I’ve never seen with waypoints?
edit: came back to say the Dreamworks music has been stuck in my head ever since. The cool one, from The Lost World video game, with the Velociraptor at the end, obviously it’s the best one.
It’s funny to think so many Dreamworks productions start things off with the death of a child '^ _^
I just watched a compilation of some recent ones from bad Dreamworks Animation SKG movies I’ve never seen. I don’t like the new music they use :-/
Misleading as it isn’t all intro deaths, they’re recent movies (I think?) and the music sucks compared to what I remember Dreamworks intro sounding like.
“Old man yells at cloud” moment for me I guess '
Maybe this is just the music for the Animation division? Thats the ignorant bliss I’m going to choose to exist in.
I can’t quite put my finger on why but the older music just feels more, spielberg family adventure movie time, than the new music…
Okay I did some research. Original is composed by John Williams, so that explains the warm magic it gives your soul, the new one is just for their animated films and is based off of the Shrek Score.
I know Harry Gregson-Williams did the Shrek Score because I was introduced to him not long before its release via the incredible work he did on the MGS2 OST. And as much as I admire his flexability and range, John Williams he most definitely is not

Waterford Whispers is our version of The Onion FYI Just in case the Satire is lost (these days its not far off the reality tbh)
“You’d miss the days when you’d say what you’re thinking and people would just privately shrivel up and die inside at what you were saying, but would keep it to themselves; that’s the Ireland I know and love.”

Love one comment, ‘Nowhere in the movie do we see Charlton Heston stocking up on toilet paper.’

I just watched a colourised version of the one with Vincent Price recently ;0;
I know the resolution is low at 360p but theres a 4k AI upscale version that is somehow worse, it ruins the image and the motion completely, has a weird red bleed all over it '^ _ ^
So I stuck with the 360p version.

So this is an earlier version I was unaware of…of course Price’s version has crosses and garlic.

I like to think it was in his contract. Mr Price refuses to work unless it’s somewhere in the script along with moustache wax as his per diem.
Seeing him in colour was a bit weird. He’s always looked old to me, as a child right up until last week. I saw this and realised, I almost look older than him now '^_ ^

My uncle sent me this link, some old footage of a Dublin Suburb in its attempts to get funding for local amenities for it’s growing population.

In the new Starchain, we simply must have an indoor and an outdoor activity area. And make sure to leave some greens because we must have a place for the ‘do not walk on the grass’ signs.

The wavy paving in the depressingly bare green in the middle of a cul de sac, accompanied by the enthusiastic monotone voice over, had me in bits.
These plain greens with the paths are quite common in the suburbs built out from dublin city in the 40’s and 50’s and most of em still look like this today.
Football is prohibited on them, go play in front of that large door guarding a Power Generator next to the busy road Children.

The wavy path is probably easier to walk on the way home late at night from your indoor activities at the nearest pub.
