At least, if you put too much money into one, there’s a threshold between those being financially successful or not, so if they flood the market, they will also leave a bunch of dead studios in their wake while good games thrive.
Oh, what’s the threshold?
It’s called Ubisoft.
There’s not enough space for two of them. So it’s beat them or lose it.
I was in one with all of the proper setup, fucking 10/10 CI pipelines, tests, the works. Someone just made stellar templates. 0 documentation tho and if you need to launch something in dev, get fucked. 0 task management, minimal meetings, barely a trello, and often you’d be like “okay what I do now?”.
Today I spoke to a coworker who had bad experiences with doctors and was seeking recommendations for a new one, then other coworkers chimed in, and so I decided to ask you guys as well. Well, not for a doctor recommendation, but about your bad experienced with doctors?...
I’m kinda surprised another company hasn’t made something to legit compete with iMessage yet.
I’m going to ask what you mean. Even WeChat, which is one of the worst “main” chat applications I have the displeasure to use, does everything it does.
This is difficult to explain. I can’t figure out a rule of thumb for spending, the prices of things fluctuate so quickly it’s confusing. Here are some examples...
I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.
User agreements aren’t really enforceable, and in this case, there would be a LOT of pressure on the side of fighting for the right to use public comments externally.
Because if reddit got their way, then that means publications can no longer cite Twitter comments. And if publications can’t rob Twitter comment, then they fucking die.
No, I don’t agree with the bot mirrors either. In fact, me and some friends found a 4chan mirror last month that was plastered with ads and replaced all instances of anon or a board name with some other words. The concept just feels scummy.
Except it refuses to aknowledge wrong knowledge or impossible methods. Until you tell it so, at which point it will agree with you even if you are also objectively wrong to tell it that.
I’ve coherced some systems into doing things they were absolutely not initially meant to do. ChatGTP would straight up tell me wrong and misleading ways to achieve them, and would be too ignorant to realize with enough stubbornness and with existing obscure info and the right mindset, a correct one existed. And at no point, not even with prodding and handholding, would it be able to have a useful conversation surrounding the why’s of the current state of art.
It’s not an expert system and it’s stupid as fuck to treat it as one.
Style Boutique was the shinning jewel of the shop/dressup management games. It had characters, mini plots, mechanics.
This one throws it all away. No currency, no real requests, no progression. You do the tutorial and you’ve seen everything the game has to give (except showcases)
I have recently played 3 games that have forced a lengthy, unskippable tutorial section that runs for several hours of the game, just to unlock the most basic functions like buying the items, customizing features, multiplayer, and even 2-player split screen modes....
I know the top comments are bringing the usual boring answers, but man, I’ll take them over pretending that is anywhere close to being bad. There’s way too much shit out there worth recognizing, like, the latest stinker is Five Nights at Freddy’s.
If someone wants a bottom 30 contender, I suggest looking up A Fish Called Wanda. It has two jokes: Long winded rants and Homophobia. Laugh. I made the delivery better.
I see at least three catches here, and all of them taken from the basic guide
Good doesn’t mean “humane”.
Lawful doesn’t mean “thoughtful”.
A demon that follows an moral code of conduct that is immoral by our standards is still canonically lawlful good by theirs. The nature of a fervorous Paladin is a matter of perspective.
Lawful nor Good mean “non-violent”.
I don’t need to explain this part. A Paladin is… Sometimes less a matter of perspective.
As an example, in the Movie Rabbit Proof Fence, the villain is a British Guy who falls, by his perspective, Lawfully Good. For reference, the movie starts with him doing a presentation on Eugenics and how he can save the “aboriginal people” through race mixing. Him mandating the two girls kidnapped from their village was entirely lawful. He really thinks he’s doing good and he does not at any point play dirty with those close to him to get what he wants. His biggest issue was being born in the wrong place, at the wrong time with the wrong people, with the wrong amount of scrupulosity.
I don’t know how, but you probably did more damage here than even some other more aggressive responses. I think you just indirectly turned every government inherently authoritarian, albeit with society still functional. Because the lawmakers everywhere will catch on to how the cops function, and any semblance of progressive thought would soon stop developing.
Eh, time and effort is limited depending on what the matter at hand is. Sometimes, you are required to just impulse buy or not live at all.
… And yet, I know exactly what you mean. There’s a class of people who just live with a phone for nearly everything they do 14 hours of their daily life, day in day out, 12 months a year. No rest whatsoever. And yet, the moment they find any resistance anywhere in their life, not even on something related to the phone, they just. dont. google. They literally refuse to help themselves and will just do what they know and refuse to do or even concern themselves with better.
I’ve seen a 20-year-old who, when asked to give in their homework on Moodle, like normal people do, instead… wrote everything on a Mac’s Notes app, took a photo and then pestered people for the teacher’s phone number so they could send the shitty photo of their homework on a very popular chat application. When told that this was not going to count, they just shrugged and stopped caring. Again, they used technology daily. That was objectively the stupidest and laziest “functional” person I’ve ever met, a true sheep, and I fear ever becoming like them during onset of dementia.
Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.
Yeah. I don’t see the moderator leaving as a huge loss or anything because the fight against misinformation and noise in inglorious and full of people who refuse to help themselves. They have a life demanding their concern, and as far as I care, if they finally ripped the bandaid and went and focused on that life of theirs, then the world has become a better place.
Comments like these is literally the first thing the article warns against.
YouTube is doing this in a staggered and flaky rollout. Seeing the videos fine as an anecdote is no indication of anything. The only people who can claim a method works are those who have gained access to affected accounts, know how they’re affected, and have issued a fix.
All the incognito browser windows share the same “session” in Firefox. So say you open an Incognito window to browse Facebook or something, then you open another Incognito window, this new incognito window is linked to the previous incognito window, meaning you are logged into Facebook at that new Incognito window as well....
And it works with hidden tabs, and thus by extension, with the tab groups add-on.
I have a whole group of tabs for uploading add-ons that have their own session, and the group’s behavior is persistent. And I can switch to them on the fly. When not in use, I don’t see them there at all.
FPS players are beasts on their own next level where it comes to binds. They also rebind movement options like jump to mouse wheel and switch WASD to ESDF so there’s more surrounding keys and better pinkie access.
I often wonder how the general population will react when they truly realize the impacts of climate change. I’d imagine there could be three reactions:...
People will just slowly move to northerner places. When those get back, they’ll move again. Lots of borders will close. There will be some wars over the likes of Siberia but they won’t last.
Eventually people will run out of places to go too up norther, and they’ll just deny the existence of an issue.
I’ve told this to smokers all my life. By quitting cigars they could have 2 extra ice creams plus some cheetos every day. Yeah those were my metrics when I started, I refuse to change them.
It’s the way the mom letters are delivered through the in-game mail. The game isn’t incidental to the story like in here - the very mechanics of how the game works are inherently important to the method of the delivery of the message.
We can see through the veil on this one because Zelda here could easily be anything. Could be a movie. Could be a board game. Could be a bike. But you could not replace animal crossing, and if you did, it could not work as well with the same characters (message in a MMO? Why is your Mom playing a MMO???)
More than the actual message, I have a different issue with this comment.
It’s how it’s one of the most incredibly Uncool things to do to make fun of someone caring too much for their hobbies when you’re an outsider. The moment it implied that this user is not an hiker, it instantly corrupted everything about it. That edit carries malice.
There’s a word for it, and I refuse to do anything but downvote those people on sight.
Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?...
The majority of companies who use Slack (over the likes of Teams) are tech-oriented companies made mid last decade.
Making a Twitter scrapper that pushes to a webhook would take half a day and would cost essentially zero if you just toss it in a random cloud cluster and forget about it. And if you don’t have that scale, then you likely have a team leader somewhere who will run it on a machine of their own out of spite.
And scrappers are way more wasteful for the target webhost.
This change hurts literally nobody other than Felon. Good.
I don’t know if this was asked before and I don’t know how to look for that so I’m sorry if this is a repeat but, I keep seeing American football posts which I couldn’t care less about and I keep blocking the communities but they’re like thousands of millions of communities that never end. And no, I don’t wanna stick...
