It’s hard to justify as it’s mostly subjective but objectively I think having music archived in a lossless format allows me to transcode to more practical lossy codecs as things evolve.

It’s kind of like in the olden times owning the CD and you could re-rip anytime and whatever format you needed/wanted.

They’ve mentioned this as part of their roadmap. They aren’t big enough to develop this spinoff and continue on DRG so they want to be transparent on how the work on this Rogue game will cause delays for the next season of DRG.

I loved Bancamp because you could download CD-quality FLAC. Yeah, I can stream my music there but I want to load it up to my personal media server and just have it in the best reasonable quality possible (I know there’s better than CD quality).

We have a grim, and painful life to look forward to. At least it will be brief so there’s that.

So you rather die grinding in the factories, in prison, as emperor-corpse food or horribly in battle? Tough choice.

Maybe having licensed such a big IP they aimed for the stars.

And the shitty militantism was accented/triggered by Christianity’s shitty militantism. Thanks crusades, the gift that keeps on shitting on.

Blame Rockstar for 3.

Would be easier if set on its own dedicated track.

Something like… a slightly slower Hyperloop! At those speeds, the “pods” wouldn’t need to run in a pressurized tube. I’ll name it “OKLoop”.

ACG says performance kept being improved up to 2.0 but couldn’t show any footage.

That was a data center, not a cloud. The sort of place they are moving to from the cloud.

With a cloud solution, you make sure to use services that are redundant. AWS and Azure build each region (geographical location) with **multiple **interconnected independent data centers (availability zones). High durability is one of the strong use cases for public clouds.

STALKER had a very neat AI ecosystem. Everything (including humans) is quite aggressive so they all keep each other in check without overpowering the other. Even the weather was aggressive.

A centralized Lemmy.

As Sterling likes to say (from memory, I’m paraphrasing) “Game publishers don’t want to make money, they want to make *all *the money”.

A profit is not enough anymore, got to aim for that infinite growth.

I’m not too fond of CRPGs and I’m hooked on this game. It oozes excellent workmanship and appreciation for the genre/source material which makes it hard to resist.

This isn’t Assassin’s Creed: Vatican.

Sounds like capitalism.

And even if the keys don’t become invalid and were initially purchased with a non-stolen credit card, it may be part of a money laundering operation and therefore facilitating some shady crap.
