This article is from like 2 years ago. Why is it being posted?
The actual new COD game is Black Ops 6.

Touch controls are better on the phone.
Personally, I prefer playing with buttons, but I’m old like that.
- Comment on Day 100 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 weeks ago:
This game is great. Every new content drop is big, and they all get my to fire it back up for a couple of weeks.

Most likely, they simply thought the machines would live long enough to be the next guy’s problem.

Well, that’s it, boys. We’ve gone full Blade Runner.
- Comment on Microsoft releases a new Windows app called Windows App for running Windows apps 1 month ago:
Yup. Could’ve been a future where they went from Xbox 360 to Xbox 720 to Xbox 1080 and so on. They probably got scared that some of the audience would have thought that the Xbox 720 would only do 720p, then crapped the bed.

That’s literally the sales pitch to investors, and has been for decades.

If this is a legit stacked bar chart, then the true OP has some serious dedication to the bit. Mad respect.

Is there any way to read Game Internet online now (archive or whatever)?
I’d really love to check out the Vampire Survivors interview from the final issue. - Comment on Why Do People Still Play Destiny 2? 2 months ago:
Confirmed. The gunplay is amazing. I haven’t played for a year or two but I would jump back in today if The Final Shape included all the catch-up/prior DLC packs.
- Comment on Commentary, behind-the-scenes features, bloopers: What did we lose when we said goodbye to DVDs? 2 months ago:
Haha! Physical media has been “slowly going away” since before UHD existed as a format. Just keep buying whatever format you like and distributors will keep it going. Look at all the catalog titles and niche (often limited special run) titles still being added to UHD.

Fuck that jump rope moon, though.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 2 months ago:
Cyberpunk 2077 with Phantom Liberty. 100+ hours of pure joy. And when you need to take the edge off, you can always spend a nice evening with the love of your life.
- Comment on Smart sous vide cooker to start charging $2/month for 10-year-old companion app 2 months ago:
Unless these people paid a premium for this kind of “smart” device vs. the cost of a basic version.
- Comment on TitanFall 2 at 3$ 3 months ago:
Yeah, we won’t get one as long as whales keep dumping cash into Apex Legends cosmetics.

Does anyone have an alternative source where we can view the screenshots?
- Comment on Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy" 3 months ago:
Are “product” (PM, PO) and “engineering” (people who write the code) one and the same where you work? Or are they separate factions?
- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 4 months ago:
The extra fun part is when it starts bitching at you for filling up the cloud storage allotment that you didn’t know you were using.
- Comment on I Don’t Want To Spend My One Wild And Precious Life Dealing With Google’s AI Search - Aftermath 5 months ago:
Actually true. They hooked me in the golden era of rewards points and I’ll be damned if it isn’t way better than Google now. Bing image search is especially great. Even their copilot thing (RIP Cortana) is useful.
- Comment on Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows 5 months ago:
Would it be possible to add (smoother, in some cases) integration with music services? Imagine one library that could reach into Spotify, Tidal, etc. all in one player.
- Comment on Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI 5 months ago:
Hey, hey, now! It doesn’t just write full emails from merely a single sentence… it also summarizes full emails down to one sentence on the other end.
- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 5 months ago:
I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.
What? Where are you seeing this issue?
I grabbed a Panasonic UHD player and it’s been a dream. Zero ads, HDMI control so I can use the same remote that works with my TV and receiver, it has full Atmos and Dolby Vision support so the quality is amazing… truly the whole package. And it’s available everywhere you’d expect.

Wow, this is a really horrible graph. Ars has no clue how to visually convey information.

- Comment on Amazon exec says it’s time for workers to ‘disagree and commit’ to office return — “I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better.” 11 months ago:
Amazon exec doesn’t give a shit. Their whole model with tech workers is to recruit them based on the “prestige” of working for Amazon, dunno increasingly more talking on them, burn them out before they start asking for real raises, rinse and repeat.
- Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription 1 year ago:
Spend your remaining 18 days playing Lies of P instead. Or TMNT Shredders Revenge. Or Arcade Paradise. Or Exoprimal if you wanna get wild.
