Here’s hoping it matures enough for desktop use by the time my Win10 desktop is EOL.

I have a very high end computer and was able to flirt with 10kSPM but having to move to beltless designs is a real drag.

Limits of the game is right.

Over about 1000 SPM you need to design to optimize for frame rate and stop using parts like belts and nuclear reactors that require more CPU to simulate.

Article is paywalled? 😤

There’s no cloud, just someone else’s (underspecced) computer.

Flight sims are cheap compared to the hardware to run them.

2020 is Microsoft Loading Simulator.

Game is distributed through Steam, but doesn’t use the Steam update mechanism so every time I go to play I have to sit through a half hour of updates.

Article didn’t say what OS it’s running, but if it’s Windows 11 that’s a hard no for me.

So what’s wrong with “straight” ?

I’m straight too so I’m having a hard time understanding. Why do you and that guy feel the need to make yourselves victims of an imagined atrocity?

The original request was petty, so was the response.

Exactly, it’s “won’t” not “can’t”.

Even with zero legacy staff they could assign people to learn/document the old engine if there was enough potential revenue.

So they can’t get 3 of them to spend a week to write a primer for new devs?

Movies have flopped this hard before, it’s like when they made Catwoman and decided they’d rather shelve it and take the tax write off.

Why do all that when Windows players will simply let you root around in their kernel?

They’re just going with the cheapest shittiest option for detecting cheaters.

I think the one without ‘PC’ is VR-only.

What a great closing quote:

Who won? AMD

AMD definitely won the console hardware race. The real arms race has always been to create an immersive experience and I don’t see that stopping any time soon.

You think the US govt will let MS drop 2/3rds of US citizens laptops from support?

I think some senators will hold a hearing to grandstand about security and forced obsolescence and MS will be shamed into extending the support window a couple more years.

Australia continues to treat its residents as criminals who cannot be trusted with naughty things.

It’s an attempt at market segmentation. Those who really want to play will pay full price. Less ardent fans wait for a sale.

Did your friend make you want it enough to pay full price?

Was there anything new since this article 2 months ago?

Wouldn’t be the first time MS tried to coerce people onto W11.

My current Win10 gaming machine will be my last Windows computer. Will this run on Win10 or Linux?

… demolisher

Go read up how capacitors work before you try reinventing physics.

You’re trying to invent a lousy capacitor.

Devs have internal tools to eliminate the most annoying aspects like inability to respec and then forget players have to suffer with the base game.

Remember to never preorder.

So the conclusion is basically “pull down resistors don’t work because vendor screwup”?

Any plans for a new HW revision?

Is that the game where you’re not allowed to discuss feminism?

LOL defender of the EULA

Yeah, was just joking that this isn’t new and Valve were being dicks for enforcing a nonexistent NDA.

They already reviewed it on The Verge a few weeks ago after the NDA expired.

Shitty publisher mandated launchers.

That’s definitely one game I don’t want my achievements shared on Facebook.

Is this some crypto miner bullshit?

So that’s $50m gross against a development cost that’s probably twice that, right?

Big yikes.

So I have to buy $50 of DLC I don’t want in order to play this mod?

Windows was the reason I wouldn’t touch any Steam Deck competitors.

Would be excited to see some upmarket Steam Deck competitors that run Linux but I’m not spending my hard earned money on a computer that really belongs to Microsoft.

Does the mod need to be a lemmy.ca user, or does it federate?
