It was a rare w for the YouTube algorithm. Didn’t know that guy beforehand.




It’s working for me 🤷

If you’re an EU citizen, please take the time to sign this citizen initiative to stop killing games. It could be our best chance of preventing such situations in the future.

Hollow Knight, though I don’t really listen to it outside the game.
Cyberpunk has some great songs on the radio.




*tried to

It was still close enough that the production company feels they can win with their claim.


Still, it makes adding new devices much more of a hassle.

Cannibalism is a viable option. Do you need more?


I didn’t play it at the time because of the bugs, but from what I saw the good parts of Cyberpunk were already present. Stuff like storytelling, interesting characters etc.
Starfield has none of that.


If ES6 is just a refreshed Skyrim I really see no reason to buy it. There are much more interesting RPGs than the Bethesda style nowadays.

As a user there simply was/is no incentive to use other stores when the game is the same price. There has to be a reason for me to buy somewhere else.


They promised one years ago, but never delivered. My main reason for supporting Steam even over GOG.

Apparently for lots oft publications (and people in general) it’s impossible to rate anything below 7


It’s a difficult issue. If Putin did release a game, did we know beforehand? How widespread was the knowledge? How did this info come to light?

I guess it’s similar to reports about crunch culture in many game studios. Do we want to support that and buy the game?
Or sexual harassment by C-level, same question.

Many people might not care, but some do and it’s still information to consider.


I think this is a good place to link Stop Killing Games. There’s currently an EU initiative under way to mandate that developers have to plan for the retirement of games with online services in a way that customers can still enjoy the game after the online services are shut down.

If you are a citizen of any EU country, please take your time to read through the initiative and sign it.


My account was banned for some reason, no idea really. Wrote to support to unban me so I could delete it, they did and I delete the account.



One thing this article gets wrong is the usage of REDkit.
To quote from the mod page:

Q: Is it made with redkit?
A: Not really, I spent 2.5+ years on making this mod, there were a bunch of tools which I used, including some ehich I had to write myself (wolvenkit Json converter, many python scripts for processing entities, meshes, generating setup scenes etc). The mod is built in radish system. Redkit was helpful in fixing some animation bugs on last development stages.

So it did help, but this mod probably could have been released without the new mod tools.


I’d never heard of Transsion before, so I took a quick look on Wikipedia.

TLDR:
They sell mostly inexpensive phones in poorer regions.
Features of their phones are targeted for those regions, like Africa, where they have special features to calibrate camera exposure for darker skin, retain dual SIM and support many local languages.

Iirc that’s an issue with ffmpeg. Opus itself can do that. I also stumbled upon that once.


Love his book, especially his biography. He had a very interesting life before becoming a cybersecurity consultant.

There’re also a few talks of his on youtube for anyone interested.


I think they’re aware of that

Martin Haslund Johansson, the director of Azerocloud and CloudNordic, stated that he does not expect customers to be left with them when the recovery is finally completed.


If they just focused on the drama and fun stuff there would be no issue imo. The weirder videos are sometimes fun to kill time, but it’s clear they’re making a lot of mistakes (look at any server video by them).
Trying to provide accurate and in-depth reviews really isn’t their strong suit.


They did actually promise a native Linux client years ago. Seems they stopped caring at some point though.


As someone also using Linux, Steam has an official client, the workshop and is continuously advancing gaming on Linux. While GOG promised a native client years ago they haven’t delivered and Heroic has much fewer features than Steam.


YAML is fine if you use a formatter. JSON’s ok to read but a pain to write imo. INI if it’s simple.


Ublock Origin and some other extensions were whitelisted. With this change, any extension can (theoretically) be used on mobile.


I like it very much and thanks to the various extensions it’s also trivial to use in Firefox and Libreoffice.


Well, if you learned emacs, you could do everything in it and won’t have to change ever again! /s kinda


KSP is Kerbal Space Program. The first one released a few years ago and the second one has been on the radar for a while.

Personally I won’t buy KSP2, the publisher apparently took over the studio at some point and decided to fire all original employees.


I like HN for discovering new blogs, but the comments can be really weird and lots of people seemingly only read the headlines.

JMAP might be nice but sadly there are neither servers nor clients that support it outside of Fastmail.
