I contend that there are more games out there now that are made for the sake of making them than ever before. It's just that fewer and fewer of these games are AAA titles. The indy scene is really what are making these games nowadays.

Honest to god doublethink right here.
I really should thank Netflix for finally motivating me to actually get off my ass and build my home server. After cancelling all of my streaming subscriptions, it really does pay for itself.
It's basically just a really elaborate angry comment on a SanDisk SSD. Sucks that you lots your data, but it's a single failure that could happen to basically any drive. Back up what you care about. Absolute waste of time 'article.'
I'm sure that it will initially cost a premium, before coming down in price as the technology matures. I'm also curious about the relative environmental impact that cultivated meat has versus raising livestock.
This is a sub that could really benefit from just leaving reddit entirely anyways. Potentially being able to have more open discussions centered around piracy would make the content of that sub so much better.
There's a massive difference between one's intentions and the consequences of one's actions. They are only talking about their intentions, while the rest of the community is bringing up the inevitable consequences.
This may be the most significant result of the API debacle. Without proper tools to stop bots, the site will quickly become a nearly unusable cesspool. This is the kind of thing that will actually affect users in the long run. When site usability degrades, people will have even more reasons to jump ship.
September 12th for the new iPhone.
Did all these tech companies just get together and decide to fuck us over around the same time? Seriously, what is going on with all these companies rolling out hugely unpopular new rules/changes all on one another's heels?
I often think about how, if there was a planet-killer asteroid on a collision course with Earth, it's very likely it would be kept secret. At least if we had no way of stopping it.
I truly believe that if global warming is already past the point of no return, there would be a lot of powerful people out there with vested interests in keeping it under wraps. They'd definitely want to at the very least maintain their lifestyle while the boat sinks...
Party-based RPGs like Baldur's Gate or Pillars of Eternity. I absolutely love this style of game, but it feels like there are precious few titles to choose from. Anyone know of any hidden gems?
This is great news. Not allowing Facebook to pretend it's some sort of valid place to find information will be a net positive for Canada. Not being able to find news through google easily will be annoying, but I'll just go directly to several news sites instead.
This may ultimately be the most impactful event so far in the Reddit API debacle. Without filtering bots, Reddit will quickly devolve into unusable garbage.
This is harder than it first appears. Microsoft actually subsidizes vendors for selling machines with Windows installed. So these cheap laptops would actually be a bit more expensive without the Windows installation.
It baffles me that companies the size of Microsoft can't nail UX. They have nigh-unlimited resources and just can't get software to work well in an environment that they themselves designed. I get that they will put the minimum amount of work into a product, so long as it's achieving it's goals, but companies this size have zero excuses for an app that doesn't work flawlessly.
The problem is that Microsoft is in a position to push Teams in an unfair way. They bundle it with other software that their clients will already be using, thus making it the most convenient choice. Convenience is a huge deciding factor in what an organization adopts, since supporting a single software bundle can be much easier than many disparate ones. Leveraging your existing market share in an unrelated domain to edge out competitors in another is exactly why antitrust legislation exists.
Totally proper use of the law.
Looks like boomer is experiencing some semantic drift to mean 'old.'
I feel this. Gaming for me is about getting better at the game, and playing with it's systems. I think it's why I typically gravitate towards competitive games over story ones. But having the time to master competitive games is proving more and more difficult as time goes on.
The whole insistence that the fediverse is too complicated is so strange to me. People are acting like you need to know how to federate multiple servers in order to make/read posts. It's been exactly the same experience as setting up an account on any other website for me. The only difference is I had to spend five minutes understanding what an instance and how to find communities on instances that are not my own.
Some people are just fundamentally resistant to any kind of change, I suppose.
An emoji or two are fine, but this abomination straight up reduces readability of the stories. Honestly makes me think it's made up by a 10 year old.
Yes I've seen this bug as well. Very strange, and definitely feels like a vulnerability of some sort.
Cajun seasoning will likely consist of paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, salt, and pepper. I'll toss some cumin in there too, mostly because I toss cumin in anything I can.
I take it to simply mean no full moons. So we're safe up to waxing/waning gibbous.
Yes, having state-run instances of federated social media would be an excellent way to both legitimize the fediverse and remove some of the control that these mega-corporations have. There's no reason why privately- or corporate-run instances could not exist alongside these instances, and would still serve to combat potential state or corporate censorship.
Pretty much any mechanic that just takes away control from the player is a bad one. It's much better when the player can affect a negative event in some way in order to lessen the event, or just bring it to an end. I bet a fear mechanic that at least allowed you to steer your panicking character would make it a lot more palatable.
it’s basically the server that decides if it trusts the judgment of the client or not. Can’t wait to see that cat-and-mouse game going on
This is partially correct. The server will check that you have a valid token issued by a trusted third party, who will almost certainly be Google, Microsoft, or Apple. When you connect to the web page, your browser will give this token to the server and say "hey look I'm legit." The token will have enough information on it to identify that it is relevant (being provided by a client that matches the hardware it is meant to verify) as well as a cryptographic signature that verifies it is in fact from the trusted third party. So it's less the server trusting the judgement of the client than it is the server trusting the judgement of whatever third party is attesting to your system.
They're NPCs. Not sure about mods, but the base game doesn't have any multiplayer.
It’s disappointing seeing people cave so quickly when under the slightest inconvenience.
The whole protest was slacktivism of the highest order. Minimum effort, minimum results.
How many years back do we have to go before Florida would be a good idea for a conference like this?
When the bad actor in question in a military or government organization, one of the realities of the modern world is that they will use your code whether you like it or not. They aren't going to stop because you use a license that prohibits them using it, if they deem it something that is useful enough. They'll just ignore your complaints and hide any wrongdoing long enough for you to go away.
If you publish FOSS, you are relinquishing a lot of control of how that software is used. A license that says "don't use this in bombs" only works if all parties are acting in good faith, and I don't think we can rely on millitaries playing nice if there's an advantage to be had.
I've also stayed off reddit so far, but doing so taught me something. I'm definitely addicted to scrolling reddit on my phone. The number of times I just opened reddit on reflex and then caught myself and killed the app was insane. Even if there's a miracle and reddit changes their ways, this is something I should probably address.
There are certainly many games that shouldn't have limited inventories that have them, but I also think there are many games for which a limited inventory enhance the game. I do enjoy games that make me make decisions about what I want to take with me and budget my inventory space when it makes sense.
Only appreciating the big flashy outcomes of science is exactly how you end up with no science funding. Iterating and improving something is important work that should be applauded.
But to know for sure we’d need statistics which we don’t have.
Precisely my point.
Dark Reader is a true game changer plugin.
What's interesting to me is how differently C# scored vs Java.
I wonder what the reaction will be from the companies hiring Google's advertising services. On the one hand, Google is clearly ensuring that they get as much money out of the deal as possible, but it also must lead to more people seeing the advertised brand, likely even encouraging it's sales. The author suggests that this is a bad deal for companies working with Google, as well as Google's users, but I can't help but think that the companies purchasing ads from Google are coming out ahead on this one.
Also the xbox controller is not controlling a critical system. I presume if the submarine loses it's photonic mast it is not dead in the water.
When we all started using Chrome to get away from Microsoft's web stewardship that arose from everyone using IE.
