Instead of Debian, why not tinyCore?

I appreciate that 👍

I was trying to be a bit funny, little silliness with pointing it out. Clearly my sense of humour didn’t land this time. Fwiw, I gave your other comment an upvoted, I agreed with what you were saying. shrugs

I never got the impression that OF sellers pulled $15M for a “single mount”…if they do… maybe I should quit being a stone mason and shake the ample amount of what my momma gave me…

Goddamn…if WoW has and Action House now… I might have to get a month or two of time. Been about a decade…

2 options:

1)get reeeeeeeeeaaaaaally good at gymnastics
2)set out as a high-class escort and bag you a billionaire

I quite enjoyed Inquisition, but you’re absolutely right…it was a pale shadow of a DA game. I’ve not bothered to play Veilguard, pretty sure it’d just be depressing. I’m fucking sick of Corpos bleeding great IPs dry, leaving a dead husk lacking even the fool’s gold shine of glory ground beneath the boot heel of the Late Stage Capitalist’s need for “Infinite Growth.”

Said it before, I’ll say it again… we’re definitely in the Biff-Timeline, and we need to fix it Marty!

Bold of you to assume the writing team isn’t the secretary of a C-Suite idiot trying to fit editing chatGPT output in-between all the other bs they have to deal with.

Wouldn’t hold my breath…not cause it might not happen, but because it’s certainly going to be longer than you can hold it, and I would worry about you if you tried.

also when you inevitably lose someone important to the project (be it obligations or drama), you have replacements ready and dont have the whole project fall over because one person was too important

This is a lesson loads of actual businesses need to learn. Put all your proverbial eggs into one overworked, underpaid basket, and when they inevitably get burnt out or get a better offer and leave, you’re up shit creek without the knowledge that kept everything ticking over.

Absolutely, I’m positive that if it weren’t for this “AI” speculative bubble we’re seeing right now they’d be selling at a slightly lower cost. They just see an excuse to get as much cash from as many people as they can.

Doesn’t one of the most powerful company on Earth give its employees subcontractors excellent health insurance

He’s almost certainly not an employee. He’s a voice actor, so he’ll be on per game/part contract.

Wellllll…best I can do is get you a half extra serving of unrecognisable glop at meals in the gulag.

If tankies could read they’d be soooooo angry right now

And then there’s Google’s moves tightening things for people who sideload or use custom ROMs.

They sacked them to make the shareholders more money, that’s how it works. And if the shareholders profits are looking a little skint they’ll just sack people until the margins look right.

…idk, I know I’m not really super current with the gaming space, but I don’t think any of the games actually mentioned are really relevant anymore?

I mean…I get the desire to streamline as much of the development of a game as possible, but this kinda sounds like a good way to make a shit game more shit…

Did PUBG put NPCs in due to diminishing player base?

I know it’s easy to jump on the wagon and grab a pitchfork and torch. I’ve read the article, and it seems like a load of pish. If someone more in the know wants to chime in and explain it, I’d like to hear other opinions.

Exactly, absolutely not a single thing wrong with someone modding a distinct lack of clothes on all the characters!

Once the game leaves the Devs and goes out into the world, they have no rights to dictate what people who have paid for a player license do with the files on their computer…

So you’re just going to ignore:

-Concord

-WoW expansion Warlords of Draenor

-No Man’s Sky

CP2077 made a decent come back, just like NMS, but it was hardly the most disappointing. It wasn’t even the most over hyped and underperforming from the far from exhaustive list I compiled from the top of my head.

I mean, that’s really shit. I got the GP screening October '22, referral hit the mental health team November '22, I called February '23 to see where I was on the list and how long I could expect to wait. Was told I was around 750 in line, and to expect a wait of 7.5-8 years. I called November '23, I was around 735 and definitely 8 years at least, but there’s a streamline coming for the past 6 years that could make it a few months wait tops. Called November '24…730. I was only remembering to call after the first time because they’d send a letter around when they enrolled me to the wait list every year and ask if my brain had got better on it’s own, or I had managed to afford private treatment and if they could take me off the list.
