To be fair, I’ve read that Sandfall also outsourced a lot of work for Expedition 33, which is how they’ve kept the team small.

I see no issues with outsourcing if done right: not every small developer needs to have a motion capture crew, etc.

If there are companies out there that can provide that for you at a reasonable cost, then you just need to focus on the core gameplay and the artistic aspects of your game.

This way you don’t bloat your headcount with hundreds of people that you’ll have to sack after the project is done, seems like a win for everybody.

I don’t know that I can handle more immersion in the Portal universe, I kinda like being reminded that a 4th wall separates me from murderous unscrupulous AIs.

Hum.

In any case, it looks just gorgeous!

The market is shifting…

For at least half a decade I’ve been seeing computers - both brand-name laptops as well as custom built desktops - sold with FreeDOS as default, and you have to pay extra for Windows.

The most important part is that you wouldn’t get a pc with an instant desktop experience that would just let you just boot up and go to Facebook or whatever, so it had little chance of actually harming Microsoft.

This may actually change things!

Of course I am, there’s no way I can escape mkvs. It’s not too bad if it doesn’t have to transcode the actual video stream, but having to burn in subtitles is a common issue 😭

I still can’t play my videos on Firefox without transcoding them, so I honestly hope they get it right this time.

It’s based on guessing what the actual worth of AI is going to be, so yeah, wildly speculative at this point because breakthroughs seem to be happening fairly quickly, and everyone is still figuring out what they can use it for.

There are many clear use cases that are solid, so AI is here to stay, that’s for certain. But how far can it go, and what will it require is what the market is gambling on.

If out of the blue comes a new model that delivers similar results on a fraction of the hardware, then it’s going to chop it down by a lot.

If someone finds another use case, for example a model with new capabilities, boom value goes up.

It’s a rollercoaster…

They got me, installed Mint a couple of weeks ago

I purged the Windows partition yesterday, fellt like pouring bleach on a stain…

This is the way.

I always wait for the prices to drop before buying any game, and never ever pre-buy them. The only exception is early access from indie devs, I’ll help them along if they show promise.

My jolly roger has been stuffed in a trunk somewhere for years, but looks like it might be coming out…

You’re appealing to authority instead of presenting real arguments.

Yeah but at what point does it just become a pc with a controller…

Torvalds rejected the merge, and that’s pretty much what he said - no one is using bcachefs.

There’s no reason for a “fix” to be 1k+ lines, these sorts of changes need to come earlier in the release cycle.

Think of the poor shareholders!

Technically, isn’t this a different thing? Genuinely asking.

There could be a license that forbids use (sort of like the CC no commercial use license) but still allows the code to be reviewed publicly, no?

I don’t know if this recaps the situation accurately, to be honest.

Sounds like the publisher is complaining about some article that’s trying to use the game as a reference on why early access can be a bad thing.

I don’t see how the gamers are an issue though. They will expect what you tell them to expect, this is something for the publisher to manage, and I don’t even think this is a problem for Manor Lords.

All of it just seems like news sites trying to come up with their clicks.

Not the companies. But some anonymous whistleblower? Sure

Because they didn’t come out saying they won’t enable ads. They just quietly renamed the toggle to say something else, and that is shady AF. Why are you trying to spin it positively?

This is hilarious stuff.

In a wonderful example of the importance of epeen, people in heated arguments over there have released classified documents just to prove they’re right.

You have a link here for leaked docs for a British Challenger II tank, but its not the only case.
