Ooooh weeeeee

Oops, the ai is antisemitic.

Np!

PeopleMakeGames has a two part series on Valve that’s pretty interesting. The second part (here) dives into the structure of the company. It does have a bit of an angle, fwiw, so if you’d prefer something more objective, it might not be a great watch. Personally I think the issues they bring up are valid, but figured I’d mention it.

Yikes. I’ve never read Asterix and Obelix, but did they really make (I assume) the only black character a straight up knuckle-dragging gorilla imitation? 😬

More like “And I hope you learned not to trust the wellbeing and education of the children entrusted to you to a program that’s not capable of doing either.”

This system is absolutely more efficient, using one space for 4 digits of arabic numerals, and ease of use has more to do with familiarity than anything else. You only think the “common way” is easy because it’s common to you. There are lots of number systems considered “the common way” to entire other cultures.

The middle bit looks like a psychopath’s suggestion for a new Power Handshake™.

“To really get the upper hand in negotiations, simply remove his hand from just below the shoulder.”

I dunno. I just don’t see it as a big problem, I guess. Just because it has some useless stuff attached doesn’t mean it’s a scam or something, as long as the artbook and music is accessible and are considered worth the price.

Also, looking at the pack, the “dlc” is 4 whole cosmetics. If it’s considered a scam without those, then it should be considered a scam with them.

I mean…is it? I don’t really get what to be upset about here. If it were really DLC sans game, then yeah, that’d be ridiculous, but if people want to buy these things, why not? And $10 for both seems like a decent price, tbh.

I’m Sorry Luigi

On the one hand, games have stayed the same price for a long time, well below the rate of inflation.

On the other, wages have also stayed well below inflation for a long time. I don’t expect they’ll see the growth they want when a game purchase takes a larger and larger bite out of someone’s paycheck.

Seriously. I was thrilled to see Sony start porting over interesting looking games, but if they go back to their previous release standard, I’m fine going back to my previous “not playing ps exclusives” standards. I’ve got plenty of other games to get to. No need to go out of my way to get over the hurdles they put up.

Games aren’t ferraris. Get out of here with that. Just because you want the billion dollar games to cost $10 doesn’t mean games are out of reach for everyone. Between free-to-play games and the ocean of indie games available online, gaming has never been more accessible.

The reason older people are gaming is because they’re the first generation to have grown up with games as a thing. 55 year olds were children when the Atari came out. They’ve grown up with it. Why would they stop just because they’re older?

There are at least twenty other people in view with shirts on…

I get that. But I’ve never done that on my own, yet I still get similar results in my searches. Hence my question about firefox doing it automatically.

*Just tried identical G searches on Firefox and Edge, and there’s definitely something going on filtering out all the garbage. The Edge search is downright unusable. Wow.

If you go to AOL or Yahoo, they still have this kind of stuff. Dunno if there’s an actual market or if they’re just clinging to it in desperation.

Does firefox do this automatically? Because I’ve never seen this junk everyone is talking about, and was wondering why. This might explain it.

For the upteenth time - an llm just puts words together, it isn’t a magic answer machine.
