You don’t lay off engineers to become more agile, all it does is make the company more fragile

Well I’m very excited to see the injection of life this hopefully gives c&c modding

I wonder how many of the old guard are still around, I’m glad the cncnet project is still going strong

It’s one of the first lines of text in the original Zelda game

Imagine how much money they would print if you released the new ones on PC too

The timed exclusivity deals are what did it for me

Bringing that bullshit to the PC gaming market guaranteed I’ll never spend a penny on their storefront.

If the carrot they’re leading with is limiting choice, I’m not going to hang around waiting to find out what the stick might be if they get successful

Well that’s pretty shitty, I assumed it could only be a CUDA blob at this point anyway rather than any specific hardware, so why drop support?

Edit: ah so it’s 32-bit CUDA in general they’re killing off, which makes a bit more sense as that probably does result in hardware differences.

Hopefully they open source it at least

Surely the multiple accounts with single calendars use case is more common than optimising for the many calendars in a single account case?

Probably a bit of personal bias in this, but I figure one of the most common multiple calendar situations, where you’d regularly be creating events on both, is a personal and work account each with their own calendar?

Fun fact it’s always had undo if you switch to the Japanese keyboard

I have absolutely no idea why that’s the only way you’ve been able to do it until now

EA aren’t interested in anything that they can’t use to manipulate kids into gambling

Yes this is exactly what I was thinking of

Where have I seen this before, and does it involve Mario Kart?

And the cynic in me sees this as all by design

Say they’re gonna bring the big companies to task, actually destroy alternatives and entrench the corporate players further

Do you not need to put your CCV in on most purchases? I’d say it’s more often than not that it asks

Well shit, I’m gonna need another lockdown or something to play everything that’s been announced today

That being said, since it’s actually good I now expect it to be nerfed and/or abandoned in about 6 months

Exactly this, Google is where it is because generally its products start out pretty good

Future publishing is unfortunately circling the drain right now, they recently canned a load of other brands that had been running for decades

This would make sense if Steam didn’t exist and is arguably the most consumer friendly of the storefronts

And if people weren’t increasingly choosing to not shop in brick & mortar stores anyway. The big high street game retailer in my country has mostly transitioned to being a nerd-culture merch shop rather than somewhere that actually stocks any games other than the Sims, CoD or EAFC.

I disagree, I cannot see why people dislike those parts—the tension is fantastic in both

It’ll be in a compilation pack, I’d bet

The big win for GeForce NOW was you could fire up games from your steam library—you didn’t need to directly invest in a service which might die for your ownership of a game

This breaks many games

Genuinely when there was actually some competition in this space, GeForce NOW was actually the consumer friendly one

Guess we have another case study in why competition results in worse outcomes for the customer in its eventual conclusion

Okay cool, but what about the games you’ve already had out for like a year?

Like, idk, ff7r2 on PC?

Well I’m glad someone has done this so everyone else can see for sure that this is a dead idea

Telling on themselves a bit given the implication is that they’re so far behind every other country who’re definitely already doing the same

Only feels like they became 343 a couple of years ago

Of course it’s forever-toddlers throwing a tantrum about “woke” again.

God forbid the vast majority of normal people don’t agree with whatever pathetic rationalisation they have ended up with in their gullible little minds.

They’re able to shoot faster and are more compact than equivalent DSLR cameras. They also should be less prone to failure over time due to fewer moving parts

You’re correct, there’s no way to do this without it being a driver feature, but it seems like if they’re not adding it to the control panel, they’re using it as a carrot to get people to use the app

Oh no, this is not gonna be good for my productivity

Okay no exclusivity

This bodes well for ff7r2

Relegation down one league per each ill-gotten title

What’s the 9th tier of English football?

I’m not sure I agree with you on the former, DLSS is pretty remarkable in its current iteration

Honestly if the gameplay and/or story are good enough, I don’t care one bit about hyper-realistic graphics

Hell, the more stylised the graphics of a game, generally the more interested I am.

Games like Obra Dinn, Lisa or Undertale that lean into the graphical limitations of the past are some of my all time favourites

Unless the SD card is using a Linux filesystem, you won’t be able to use Linux access permissions.

Most SD cards are preformatted to FAT or exFAT in order to maximise compatibility. If you don’t need to use the card on any non-linux devices you should be able to reformat it and gain the ability to chown/chmod (should go without saying, but back up any data on the card you want to keep before this)

I think the borderlands games take the award for the quantity of egregious pop culture references

Forgive the basic response, but they’ve yet to earn a better name:

Poobisoft

If your GPU has two power connectors you should always use two runs from the PSU.

You only have to ask yourself why they would bother with the second connector if it was okay to just attach a little extension to the end of a single cable.

Some cards may run fine with this setup, but you’re going to be increasing fire risk by potentially running more amps down a wire than is safe to.

Every company I’ve worked at for at least the last decade or so has an internal social media thing of varying quality.

Facebook even wraps up its own product for internal use.

Admittedly engineering always generally ignores it and we just use slack

Yeah, you’re right to highlight warcraft although I don’t think it’s a clean line with Warcraft between dune 2 and c&c. C&C was probably around 2 years into development by the time Warcraft came out, and my assumption is most of the actual game design was pretty finalised by that point. Though I’m sure some minor influences made their way in, I don’t think Warcraft massively affected the kind of game we got in the end.

But yeah that’s not to diminish the contribution of warcraft to the genre, there’s loads of games that followed copying the Warcraft style of RTS, even as part of the c&c series in the end with Generals.
