Man my work computer has 64gb ddr5 and I’m almost tempted take half out and scalp it 😂

I’m super supportive of workmfrom home because I want to work from home myself, but I am also a bit of a manager and understand where these companies are coming from…

I am a bit of a co-manager and the guy that I split my workload with I just feel like I get taken advantage of because because I have no idea what the fuck he even does most of the day working from home himself. It’s sometimes really hard to keep track of what people are working on and how efficient they are doing it when you can’t even tell if they just took the day off with pay or not.

WoW is screwed if they ever need to shut down.

They monetized gold by giving it a real world value. If they shut down I imagine this would mean that players need to be compensated for the value of their “gold”.

You’ll need to opt out of pretty much anything digital than because almost every business is has employees using AI is some form or fashion since it’s shoved down everyone’s throats so hard.

No because short sighted CEOs see less sales as lower profits, so they increase prices to make up for lost profits, which might work for one or two quarters but then eventually leads to even less sales so they raise the prices again to make up for it until there is only people who literally cannot function without buying the components for an arm and a leg making up 100% of the companies sales.

Yeah if game developers were just a distributor instead of an IP owner, I would pay $5-$10 more for a game from almost any other game developer.

Vapid anti-AI hate can cause quite a lot of damage. And what for? To feel like you’re superior to everyone that you can spot all the AI errors?

Sure, shame a company for AI use if it’s obviously bad or you have actual proof. But just guessing because you think it’s AI is pretty shitty.

They might just sell the IP. I imagine they are mostly interested in the sports franchises.

I only pirate games that I wouldn’t mind playing but also hate the publisher, or the publisher makes the games annoying to play despite steams easy UI and setup.

Games from EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, etc I will pirate with no remorse and then place the launcher link in my steam library.

I did get the early access and quite enjoyed It up until the production lines got a little complex. A few bugs here and there like employees not doing what they needed to do and the production chain breaking.

I gave it a break after that but maybe I will pick it up again to see if those issues have been fixed.

There was also a small annoyance where something’s could not be automated and it was tedious having to do it manually all the time less the production break down again. Like ordering supplies and restocking the shelves. Hopefully they add a subscription service to phone orders if they haven’t already.

I think it would be a nice thing to include as not everyone wants to interact with other players if they don’t need to. But I don’t think it should be an obligation.

It sounds like a concept that I could enjoy, but I probably won’t play it if there isn’t a PvE mode. I play video games so I don’t have to interact with people. But I’m not going to buy it knowing there isn’t a PvE mode and then complain that there isn’t one.

Lol, the US economy… It will go to billionaires who won’t pay taxes and buy stuff from overseas anyways.

There a free to play online game called Palia that’s pretty chill.

Not as farm intensive as stardew, but you do have a few plots to grow crops and you can refine them into jams and pickled goods, etc.

Can also cook your food into meals, give gifts to villagers to build up relationships, and each villager has a story and background to learn.

There is also mining, tree felling, plant foraging, animal hunting, fishing, etc.

It’s a first person 3D world, and I haven’t tried it with controller but I imagine it would be fine.

It’s very chill, there is pretty much no negatives for any action or inaction that you take.

Oh also you can build your house on your plot of land and decorate it with a shit ton of decorative furniture and nic knacks.

Main storyline quests are not too bad either, there is a story to the world that develops as well.

It’s not that you can’t make it through the denizens, making it through the denizens is usually easy. It’s just a waste of time for the most part.

I haven’t played silksong, but I’m just going off other games in the past for my experience.

If you make it through the hallway of meaningless denizens that just waste time and get to the boss, then die to the boss… Why waste time going through the meaningless denizens again to challenge the boss?

I can see it on higher difficulties when you need to make sure you get through the meaningless denizens perfectly in order to preserve your health and resources to have a better chance of defeating the boss.

But when you just want to experience the story on lower difficulty why make the denizens less powerful to make the boss easier when you can instead just put the save point in front of the boss in instead of the denizens? You’ve already made it through the denizens, it’s not like you’re skipping content.

Eh, make it optional. On hard difficulty make it a thing, medium difficulty allow it to be skipped.

I do think it’s a grey area.

Like, if one person on a three person team is exclusively doing art for the game, would they count as a developer moreso than if the two person team contracted out the artwork to separate company? Or would the other company be considered as a developer?

It’s not their job to police the ownership of the steam account.

The steam account owns the game, whoever controls the steam account owns the rockstar game.

Capitalism and the free market is supposed to encourage efficiency and innovation in order to remain competitive in order to keep prices low… Is Sony against capitalism? Is it against the free market? Is in adverse to innovation? C’mon Sony … Stop being lazy.

Depends how much content there was.

10 hours? 100 hours? Adding 3 isn’t much, adding 30 is quite a lot.

If they really were rushing then maybe there wasn’t that much content already and asking 30% wasn’t to unrealistic.

Eh, it’s unique but I don’t think that should give Sony the right to use the exclusively (looking at you Nintendo and Pokemon)

You could have the exact same game but with fleshy dinosaurs and all of a sudden it’s not a problem? And then a third company can come out with another copy with fleshy dinosaurs and there’s no issue because fleshy dinosaurs aren’t unique.

I think they have since before then. It’s always 3-4 days before end of month.

Jesus that lady has aged 10 years in one

Lol. I have free healthcare and I played videogames every fucking chance I get because it makes me happy, but it’s pretty rare since I worked 278 hours in May.

And every book they don’t like the title/cover for

I’m not going to read something if the title doesn’t interest me. It’s also a great example of write headlines that are accurate and informative.

Everyone was calling it “stop killing games” instead of “stop destroying games” and I literally thought it was a petition to stop games with murder and violence lol never even got farther than seeing the title.

Definitely a good idea to switch over to stop destroying games if that wasn’t the official title already…

I can see why patents are so long when you need to build like a billion dollar factory to make a product and mass produce it.

Digital concepts don’t take that much investment and once you have it you don’t need to invest in making more, it’s just there.

So yes, digital patents should be a fraction of the time that physical patents should be. Like 2 years instead of 20.

How is it that pokemon has a hold on things like animals allowing flight, but gliders allowing flight isn’t under patent?

Like, whoever did gliders first needs to sue Nintendo to change breath of the wild, no gliders allowed anymore.

Tune in on Monday to find out new tarriffs make this announcement no longer valid

I found humankind to be very difficult to go the domination path, but I haven’t played since close to release.

It was very prohibitive to take direct control of conquered cities as the cost seemed exponential, and you had to constantly declare peace and then go right back to war or something if I remember correctly. It seemed like a silly system

I don’t even mind microtransactions, but microtransactions DO NOT EXIST

$10 for a skin is not a MICRO transactions, that’s just a transaction.

The entire game costs $60 but ONE skin out of the thirty that already available or whatever is somehow $10? Why do people pay that? Why would they ever bother making a new game when they can design 6 new skins instead?

Man, I downloaded my data from steam for the past ten years I’ve been active and the total $ amount made me sad. It’s definitely not $42 a year…

If their zombie survival shelters are anything like the ones in the game I would have no faith anyone would survive a single night in a zombie apocalypse.

Doesn’t really matter if there is enforcement, something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

If someone is willing to pay $100k for 1 Bitcoin then that is what it’s worth.

If someone isn’t willing to pay $100k for a piece of property in Idaho, the police can’t force you to pay that much.

Okay maybe not 3 months but some sort of time frame and maybe not a full halt but perhaps a more significant warning like an are you sure popup on adding to cart.

Plus maybe require monthly dev posts as to progress for early access so people know it’s still actually being worked on., otherwise the warning.

Plus the longer refund times if updates haven’t happened in months

Why not stop the sale of games that haven’t had an update in more than 3 months or offer extended return windows?

I might just buy one of their games now to support their decision.

I just don’t know how much I can trust them to keep their word and not just brick the game in the future until an account is made.

Unfortunately it’s quite unpolished. It works in certain areas for certain things but it’s by now means a decent replacement for what someone expects from Google maps.

It’s great for being free and for what it is but it doesn’t compare yet. Maybe one day.

I’ll be waiting for the swivtch
