I’d say everyone knows what Tetris is, so that’s a good argument for it.

Probably Minecraft.

I’m sure it was not. With specially prepared USB hardware you can read out main memory without any protection, and thus get around DRM. So they surely wanted to counter that.

Unfortunately, as long as all these storefronts sell mere subscriptions, players would suffer if any of them closes. Hence, players would benefit greatly from a monopoly that is too big too fail, since it prevents them losing games every few years when another steam/epic competitor closes doors.

I wonder if even without this law, one could claim false advertising against any subscription service that looks like a bit to own service.

Then they would need to pay everything back they ever earned if the company ever goes bankrupt. I imagine a bankrupt company doesn’t have much to pay back.

No reason has actually been given as to why. Most likely, this is coming from Netflix, who actually acquired Night School Studio back in 2021. Probably as they’re trying to pull in more people to play games under their umbrella directly on Netflix.

It’s sad that digital subscription services reserve the right to remove your subscription. If you are in EU, consider signing the Stop Killing Games Petition

The article says they are trying to save money, but wouldn’t exhibiting at Gamescom also work great as an advertisement?

Or are they afraid of some protests due to some things they did recently? Not that I would know what that would be, but just wondering.

Thinking about all the money that could be in his bank account.

Kerbal Space Program, Derail Valley, Nucleares, …

Does GDPR apply to stackoverflow? Since my data there probably does not identify me as a person?

Arguably, they could just make movement a separate kind of action in DOS as well.

There is one skill in DOS2 that grants a free movement action every turn. I use it for my backstabbing rogue, and it rocks!

Oh great! Then that is no problem at all.

If you like RPGs with difficult round-based combat and lots of story you will probably enjoy it.

So if they watermark, then this may become an issue. If you buy a game over steam for the purpose of leaking, steam or some payment provider knows your bank account. From that you can be traced down.

So to hide, a cracker would need to have a fake bank account, or live somewhere lawless like in Russia.

Still playing Divinity Original Sin 2. The sale will be over by the time I finish.

Interesting. Yeah my comment was just a shitpost. But what you are saying makes it seem completely nonsensical what AMD is doing.

But then maybe they just want to push faster video cards, and freesync is something that people care about. Then they can still sell better cards to those people that don’t know that freesync is less useful at higher refresh rates.

True. For FPS I often do that too. For top-down view games it’s often nicer with vsync. Even triple buffered.

Probably their freesync is mostly ineffective on 60Hz but better on higher refresh rates, and they just made a good spin out of that in the marketing department.

Fair point. But then, would anyone actually care that it is open source? I am not sure if there is a larger target group that would be more inclined to buy a game because of that. Maybe you can use it for marketing though?

If you actually want to make games for a living, then don’t do open source. Have people pay for enjoying your work. If it is a hobby, open source may be beneficial, because you can then team up with other hobbyists.

Sad. The first game was perfect to play together with the wife.

Arguably though, Disco Elysium is such a unique art piece, any successor would likely fall very short on any expectations.

As someone who has not played DRG, was it roguelike as well, or is this now a roguelike spinoff?

Wizards of the Coast owner Hasbro, which says Larian’s “mega hit” RPG, having driven around $90 million in revenue in the last year, is a good sign for more video games to come from the D&D license.

I don’t know them, but this seems like they have understood that D&D is beneficial to their purse.

Thanks. I meant how many percent they lost after 6 months.

How does that look for other singleplayer games that take some 50-100 hours to beat?

That is a stark insult. But it may be true.

It’s the independent 🤷‍♂️

Newer phones allow for a higher charging current, hence they get hotter while charging

Wish the factorio devs would make a city builder. It’d be so much more enjoyable and have so much more depth than any big corp production could have.

How do you circumvent this problem: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/4305645

Thanks, but this is too labourous for me. I would like to be able to delete photos directly from my phone without the need to move them first.

I am now thinking about setting up a cronjob on the server that backs up the pictures every minute or so to a different folder with rsync…

Yeah, I have the folder on the phone on sendonly. But this sends also deletions to the server, apparently.

But syncthing deletes images when they are deleted on the phone right? I just tried it, and this is what seems to happen. Is there a way to set it up such that I can delete things on my phone, but they won’t be deleted on the server?

Given that they have you meet a cowboy at the end of that mission, it is kinda understandable. I wonder who thought that having a cowboy as a main character would be a good idea for people outside of the US.

I first thought that this must be some illegal form of abuse of market power, but then I realised that consoles are purposefully made to run only the software specifically made for them. So they are kinda digging their own grave.

Hyperloop tubes are now used as spaghetti storages?
