Well im fucking women all the time, ive joined my local DSA to find more opportunities to improve my community, I donate to local food banks and charities within the means I can afford. I help out my local community members via volunteer time or just being out there on the street handing out food/cookies. I enrich the lives of my many friends by working on my baking hobby and bringing cookies and cakes and happiness to everyone around me. I work very hard 50 hours a week and I love my job. It’s basically a socialist haven and I do my best to bring excellence to that restaurant learning many valuable skills and in turn passing them on to others. I work on myself physically, exercising and strengthening myself should I ever need to stand up and protect my loved ones. I’m even looking into joining a local rifle association and training the skills I might potentially need to use in the future since my country is fucking falling apart. One of the only things keeping me together when I get home is playing a fucking PC game on my Linux install which is only possible to the degree it is because of the efforts of valve and by extension, Gabe Newell.
Also, I’m not derailing the conversation so I don’t know how this is sea lioning. And I’m not simping for billionaires. I don’t think they should exist. I just think that valve specifically is literally being targeted by large corporations to hurt their image since they have suddenly become a major player in the graphics software and OS space. The FREE DEVELOPMENT of proton and the like is a threat to Microslop’s bottom line. And if valve were to go under my immediate happiness would be affected. So yeah fuck you.
It’s not his job to feed the world either. That’s our goddamn government’s job. He puts money where he wants. That’s the system we live under and we can fix that and change it but until we do denigrating this one man out of all the evil billionaires is kind of strange.
He also funds a Marine research facility that maps the ocean floor and gives scientists access to deep sea diving tools and submarines. He donates to charity occasionally, to the tune of hundreds of thousands to millions. What have you done other than complain on the internet?
You need to understand the propaganda machine’s in full swing. There are enemies online that pretend to be your allies and they slowly turn your opinions. You’re being brainwashed.
Gabes goals are twofold. Make money for himself and those under him and improve the PC game space.
He does both both unapologetically and without secrets or shady shit. Honestly, it’s not his responsibility to fix the world. It’s ours collectively. He does his small part to improve what he can. He saw a need and he does his best to fill it. And at the same time he pays his workers the highest wages in the entire industry. Most people who work at valve are millionaires.
I believe billionaires need to be taxed out of existence but this one is not the one that we need to hang first
Rimworld is a game that you get to play in the way you want to play. It allows you to choose the pace of your game and the difficulty by allowing you to choose a “storyteller” that determines the events that happen in your game and how often. You won’t ever be able to turn off combat, but you can make it less of a problem.
I hate AI with a passion. A burning passion. And there is some muddied reporting and stuff with how the Clair Obscure team handled the use of AI but ultimately it does look to be an innocent use.
It does start a slippery slope argument, but I don’t see much wrong with using AI generated textures or models if they are truly truly 100% meant to be replaced by the product ship date. There are many video games that start out with stolen ripped assets as placeholders because it’s a whole lot easier to throw in completed assets that work right now so you can get to your iterative phase of game development a lot sooner.
During game development, there is a lot of wasted effort you need to try to avoid. A game is not fully complete when it is planned out. When you start video game development, you don’t know where you’re going to end. If you do not approach the iterative process of game design carefully, you will end up wasting tons of effort and artist time just for things and features and levels that will never see the final release.
Tldr; I don’t see a big problem with using AI as placeholders but you better fucking be honest about it and they better actually be placeholders
Another day another corporate hit piece to take down valve. They aren’t going anywhere. They’re a private company with no plans on going public ever. From what I hear, the company leadership will transfer to the lead engineer who shares the same visions as Gabe. Why would you want a personal money printer in your pocket to go public and then just get absolutely raped by some investor pieces of sshit when you have one of the highest profit to employee ratios in the entire industry. It makes absolutely no sense to strangle this Golden goose even for the greediest of people.
I swear to God the news is just fucking awful these days just paid hit pieces to spread whatever view some rich guy wants. This is all because valve won’t bend the knee and is disrupting industries and poising to dethrone Microsoft right now in the OS space and they’ve also branched into hardware. Other companies are threatened by them.
Nah you’re right. It’s overrated. It shaked the Zelda formula up and that’s all that people see in it. It has a ton of fun details in the world sure but let’s be honest BOTW has like 8 different enemies you will fight over and over. The shrines aren’t even a challenge after the first third of the game since you know the ins and outs of your abilities. Your abilities are all gained right at the start too and there’s no cool loot other than another bow or a random melee weapon.
The open world nature kills so much of the story pacing and cinematic elements we have come to expect from the series. Then there’s the whole no real dungeons thing. a Zelda dungeon used to be an all day affair. Took you hours with a challenging unique boss fight at the end. The beasts we got and the copy pasted phantom ganons were so lame.
I honestly feel like they serious took a dramatic dip in theming and focus with BOTW. It took a dramatic leap forward in innovation for the series but it really doesn’t feel like a legend of Zelda game anymore.
Tears of the kingdom is just The Legend of Zelda Nuts and Bolts. Change my mind
Censorship on my Lemmy? It’s more likely than you think
