Yeah, from the article:

The diamonds produced using this method are minuscule, hundreds of thousands of times smaller than those grown with the HPHT method. Hence, these diamonds are far too small for jewelry applications.

However, their use in technological applications, such as drilling or polishing, is a possibility. Due to the low pressure involved in the new method, it might be feasible to significantly scale up diamond synthesis.

However, i bet they are already thinking of getting bigger ones, and might succeed eventually.

And name it “Deckard” for maximum concentrated cringe

Yeah, even the easiest and most obvious thing, furthermore the one requiring least devwork, mods, were deliberately missed in case of Starfield by not releasing mod tools until much later. At first the hype was real, first two weeks seen something like 2000 mods released on nexus… but nearly all those were just reskins and other simple mods possible without tools. But then you could see the enthusiasm evaporating in real time until not much is left. If the tools were available on release the game would be now in much better state by every metrics.

And they still blew it up, the easiest thing ever.

The only thing mind bogging here is who the hell accepted USSF uniform design, it would be too embarrassing for C-class sci fi movie from 80’s

Yeah i seen it too though that flying taxi looked pretty good in comparison, like big drone basically. Also it was just a flying vehicle and this here is also a car.

Finally, it’s still wasteful and aimed at rich people, it would also require early centralised flight control service to avoid accidents (though i admit it would be feasible unlike the self driving cars), and in such case again, why not just use train, especially that it would also allow to reduce traffic, negating even the need for flying car.

It looks like shit though, so probably won’t sell.

Also how about we try to enlarge it few dozen times, maybe link few of them together and put it on rails? It wouldn’t even have to fly?

.world is a carbon copy of reddit, and it’s full of bootlickers of US empire. Considering massive botfarms on reddit and links of it to US agencies if US is gonna invest in even more bots some of them are bound to end up there.

I mean they did had IRL meeting probably because even they didn’t believed they are real people lol.

.world will double in users again

Your commune would be super lucky if it had anything because small communes (especially isolated sects “never trusting humanity”) are not the best places to make even things like glasses, not to mention atomic weaponry.

Cheating is just selfdefence in some games.

No

Same, old NES and SNES were pretty good for its era but for the last 30 years nintendo managed to produce exactly one game series i mildly wanted to play, Fire Emblem, and ever since i played it on emulator recently that want disappeared, it wasn’t even very fun.

Entire history of computer games shows that when piracy is on decline, ripoffs intensify.

Unironically yes, those are less likely to siphon your data to US letters agencies, and those are the ones you should be worried about, not China.

Cybermyconids rise

No. I mean if you spend your entire life jumping between 30 rooms full of people then perhaps, but for just normal voice communication for meeting, gaming or RPG it was entirely sufficient.

Before the discord plague i used Team Speak, it was sufficient.

Yeah i also don’t think it’s dying hence the plea. But thing is, i don’t want alternative. I want this shit to die so i never want to see “join our discord” spammed absolutely everywhere when i want to get some info on anything.

Please discord die already

The basics are really as simple as the 3 point supply chains in Settlers 1, 30 years ago. Also you can try on easiest difficulty level and set up something like tutorial galaxy with almost no enemies to learn.

Whoah you are probably first person i encounter that enjoyed SotS 2. First one was one of the best 4x in history though.

Looking at my steam hours Stellaris and Skyrim

Finally, hope its not too late

Polish info about this update was such a word salad that i didn’t even get the most important thing, so maybe someone here knows: are we finally getting mod tools?

Imagine getting new teeth but all of them are wisdom teeth.

That’s an unholy merge of:

I love how copyrights are such a consistent constant hurdle for any new developments are are turning everything they touch into shit.

No, not really. After Starfield released mod scene EXPLODED capital letters, there were hundred new mods every day. However, without proper tools 95% of those mods are very simple reskins and modders got burned out and bored on this fast. Now we are 8 months after release with still no tools and that enthusiasm is largely gone. Part of it will still be back, but the best moment to establish a vibrant mod community has passed.

1.6 mods are also stable now, but of course Bethesda shits out the patches every now and then so you need to downgrade anyway, just to 1.6.

Well the updates to Skyrim, Fallout and lack of modding tools for Starfield seems to indicate that it is now a reality. I seriously cannot fathom why they would sabotage themselves like that. It’s absolutely obvious since at least Oblivion that mods are lifeline and reason for success of Bethesda rpg games yet here we are.

Mostly Elder Scrolls but Fallout now too is basically counting as shelved. And before anyone asks, no, MMO’s aren’t cutting it.

Not surprising. Also fucking Bethesda shelving their own best selling IP lol.

Larion Studios is still doing fine.

Maybe, or maybe not.

They’ve decided

I don’t believe that, half of Baldur success was because it was Baldur and gained massive hype for that. Larian’s credit was delivering to that hype (mostly), but if you were following the development, literally the main fear from fanbase was precisely because it was Larian making that - Divinity 2 was very far from universal acclaim in the niche. And this here look extremely suspicous even if it was just about the next game, but no DLC, no expansions, not to mention that continuing the success is an 1st iron commandment in entire industry, nobody stops doing that unless there is no possibility.

There’s a lot going inside we don’t know because no company would just release such turbulences publicly.

Hell even the super successful Baldur 3 is apparently not successful enough to have further development.

The function of a public company is to create growth for its shareholders…

And that’s fine

Dammit the duality of man

I liked it better than the first one. Imo Mistborn trilogy is second worst Sanderson work after Skyward, and i really like all his books except those two cycles.

Stormlight Archive would be perfect. Btw, both Mistborn and SA settings are part of the same multiverse, and Mistborn even had a less dark 3-book countinuation placed few hundred years later in largely renewed world during the industrial revolution.

Anthem was a warning to actually fucking don’t make yet another generic shooter and instead continue to make RPG games.
