I don’t think it eats away the faith. Capcom fixes the performance and endgame before the next release, everyone remembers only the final product. Capcom releases a poorly optimized game with bad endgame. It’s a massive hit. Eventually people start complaining. Capcom fixes the game and the cycle continues.

People could’ve learned from the launch of World but people remember only the final update and final update World is great.

Yeah, there’s a certain risk for rolling with your own engine, but if you start the project with the idea of having a custom engine you probably know what you’re doing and have taken into account the complexities of having a custom engine. IMO if you’re a group of small experienced devs having a custom engine is not really a show stopper, if you’re a junior the project probably isn’t even getting off the ground.

But changing the engine mid-project is almost always a huge decision and more often than not a killing blow for most projects. Depending on the stage of the project you’re guaranteeing adding a year or two to your development. It’s better to accept the limitations of the existing engine and compromise on the vision rather than swap engines in hopes of realizing the vision that got refined during development.

The entire Year Zero album is still relevant because for almost 20 years nothing the album talks about has changed for America.

Larian probably wouldn’t have turned it down if Hasbro hadn’t fired pretty much everyone who worked with Larian on BG3. Sven Vincke (CEO of Larian) seems like the kind of guy who would take such an action personally, which is probably why he doesn’t want to work with Hasbro again and rightfully so, fuck Hasbro.

He probably has a handful of investors who trust him, but overall it’s his company and he can do what he wants.

to somewhat defend Bungie, you can’t own an art style. The person whose work Bungie ripped off has a case for the specific assets that are clearly her (I think the artist was a woman?) work. However assets that are inspired by her work but aren’t exactly her work is completely fair.

But that actually makes Bungies situation even worse because they don’t even know how many artists they might’ve ripped off. Could be just this one, could be five, could be a dozen. They don’t know. IMO serves them right because they clearly don’t learn from their mistakes.

I’m going to throw a shout out to Environmental Station Alpha because I think it’s an excellent game that flew under the radar of a lot of people when it launched. It makes some bold decisions with the story that some people might not enjoy but the gameplay is solid and the backtracking problem (which most metroidvanias have) is solved by having the level get harder as you progress.

It’s cheap, it’s not at all hardware demanding and it’s very heavily inspired by Metroid. If you enjoy metroidvanias and you haven’t played Environmental Station Alpha you definitely should.

And a secret shoutout to Noita. The dev of Environmental Station Alpha worked on Noita. It’s been pushed into the roguelite category but I would argue it’s the worlds first open world(s) roguelite metroidvania. If that sounds stupid but interesting, prepare to suffer because Noita is not at all easy and that’s deliberate because the central theme of Noita is the pursuit of knowledge (the more you know about Noita the easier it gets).

I’ve had a similar response.I was kinda ready to accept the new price but then they started pushing an even higher price so I got an opposite reaction where stars would have to align for me to care about any game over 60 and even 60 is pushing my willingness to pay.

Them: “we don’t set the price”.

You: “I’ll buy it if you set a lower price”.

So people don’t even read the headlines anymore?

I was coming here to mention Dark Souls. It’s an excellent example of how to make a tutorial not feel like a tutorial. Either you take the time to understand what the game is telling you or not, up to you. Don’t care about going through the entire tutorial area? Just beat the boss and start the real adventure.

I was watching Hasan being at the protests to get a sense of what is actually going on and a European left a comment on his video that succinctly put the US police into perspective.

As a European I don’t get how the police is just shooting rubber bullets instantly, why do they not have riot shields and water throwers and such, it seems so uncivilised.

And that pretty much sums up the cops in the US. They’re just uncivilized. Their idea of “deescalation” is escalation until you’re too incapacitated to fight back.

ELIS5 version. Wayland and Xorg are what draw the screen on your monitor. Xorg is based on stuff that’s 40 years old and Wayland is meant to replace Xorg as a more modern way to draw on your monitor.

Looks fine for me on interstellar.

Depends on how you define wiping the slate clean? Just for the users or also for the hardware and software vendors?

Because the difficulty of Linux comes from the lack of hardware and software support. If you just compare the OS then for the average user there little to no difference in terms of functionality. People probably would ever prefer Linux due to it being just generally faster than Windows. You wouldn’t pay extra to to get something that runs worse.

What people will pay extra for is the guarantee that their hardware and software just works. The only benefit Windows has is that you don’t have to worry if your hardware or software will work because in 99.9% of the time it does and if it doesn’t you can contact support and they won’t instantly tell you your system isn’t supported.

Same. I was willing to keep Outer Worlds 2 on my radar because I love Obsidian and they’ve earned my attention even though I didn’t particularly enjoy Outer Worlds 1, but at that price point the game has dropped off my radar. Unless it’s getting New Vegas level praise post launch I probably won’t be paying any more attention to this game.

I’m in no hurry. If it comes within a year I’ll be happy. If it takes longer I’ll probably check it out unless some other app has come out that I’m also happy with.

Strictly personal reason. When the lemmy devs asked for monetary donations I voiced my concern with Lemmy.ml, which they also maintain. In response one of the devs called me a cheapskate, so I decided I’m done with Lemmy until more normal people become maintainers

Edit: forgot to add that it wasn’t the only reason. The devs themselves are rather controversial in their beliefs and moderation and I had reluctantly tolerated thoss things up to that point. The dev interaction was simply the last drop in the bucket.

Hopefully voyager dev takes a look at piefed integration. I would absolutely love to get back to voyager but for me getting away from lemmy was more important than sticking to voyager.

Probably made more from every schmuck who didn’t know they would be replaced for free and bought extra.

I haven’t read the new TOS but if this review is correct it looks like a GDPR nightmare for them. Good luck to them explaining why they need to collect all that personal data.
