It’s called creative direction.

Of corse not only indie games. But there’s huge shift in the market from behemoths like EA, or Ubisoft towards smaller studios and indie devs.

And yet, lately it’s the low budget indie games that dominate steam charts with massive successes.

It’s because creative direction in these comapnies sucks. It’s usually a big, bureaucratized souless machine where your connections mean more than your actual skill.

Meanwhile an indie game from a single dev: 500k players on steam.

One mind blowing part is that some of ballerinas attacks are synced to the music. This wasn’t meant to be just fight but sort of dance macabre with her.

There’s probably a metric ton of details I haven’t found about this game.

Wait for the amusement park. I suggest good headphones - both location and the boss will blow your mind. This was the best shit I saw in my entire life

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. First really high quality storytelling I saw in games. Setting is so unique I never saw really any copycats

Wireguard on Linux can’t even autostart with the system.

It’s a way of saying that devs have control over how it’s applied. But given examples are just bad - model changing the shape of lips and eyes is all too familiar to anyone who toyed with stable diffusion.

My suspicion is that they either were pressed by government to demand that data, or they wanted to terminate contracts at fault of the client.

So power users can’t use GUI?

It optional, for power users. That the point.

Go install TempleOS

Fuck nuance, AI bad, herp derp!

If you can’t tell then it means it’s good enough

Just call Nintendo and tell them this will fuck the Pokémon cards. You’ll get the most rabid lawyers in the world at your side

PopOS has been a good recommendation in the past

I dismissed it at the start years ago when I saw tutorial with some terminal wizardry supposed to enable gamepads over Bluetooth. I was right. Gaming distro my ass.
