No hate, I’m just surprised. I’ve legitimately never not had a game work so far, and most people I know only seem to have issues on games with anti-cheat.
Doesn’t mean I don’t believe you though, I just might have horseshoes in my ass, such that I somehow have only played games that are largely compatible without issues.
I am curious what games had issues for you though.
Outrage is a social media staple, it’s not just Lemmy.
Daddy Druckmann must subsist on meals of mainstream praise and developer crunch, how else would Daddy Druckmann survive.
My fear is that Google is going to succeed in using this as an excuse to unilaterally destroy the free web like they’ve already been trying with attestation.
But the modern web really does suck. I’m not sure how to fix it without corporate influence.
Larian has had several massively successful Kickstarter
Well that’s the thing though, right, the genre actually literally had a major revival when Kickstarter became a thing. Before Kickstarter existed no one really understood the power of crowdsourcing.
Oh absolutely. I agree. I don’t think anyone’s disputing that something about it needs to change. Even given that things cost money to run, for profit journals that can basically act as gatekeepers means there’s also going to be excessive price gouging and profiteering and that needs to change.
Surely there has to be a cost to the infrastructure of publishing and curation though. And possibly all the work of setting up and organizing the peer review process. So they probably charge the institutions or authors submitting the paper instead of their readers. But perhaps we should treat scientific journals as a public good, like libraries, or at least have a publicly funded option. Or have universities and institutions fund it for the public good.
Maybe, but Microsoft’s competitors are doing a lot better on the battery life front so they’re leaving a lot on the table for competitors to swoop in by not fixing their sleep and wake issues. It was a big consideration for the company I work at to go with Apple machines because they do lots of field work and need the machines running all day. I can say from experience it’s incredibly frustrating to leave home with my MS Surface on a full charge only for it to have majority of the battery drained by the time I pull it out of my backpack due to waking up when it wasn’t supposed to.
Chris Jericho has never been happier
Idk man I’ve seen mathematicians at my university shudder at applied math and they were kind of half joking and half not. Not all of the faculty were like that though, some of them had a wide range of interests! My favourite was a wonderful Polish professor named Edward who knew tons of things about not just math but also computer science, physics, and chemistry.
I kind of don’t want Linux to become mainstream tbh because then corporate enshittification becomes a much more real threat.
I would give everyone noclip mode.
Convenient because you can fly anywhere and through walls. People’s commutes would be so much shorter! You could visit any country you wanted without even needing planes. Everyone would experience an unprecedented level of freedom.
Inconvenient because of the messy implications of getting stuck in walls if you turned it off at the wrong time. Also people would probably just be able to take anything they wanted without repurcussions so the world might devolve into chaos. You wouldn’t really be able to jail anyone. Security and privacy would be hard to come by.
Here, I gotchu:
The phrase “you stupid fuck” Implies the existence of irrational fucks.
