Congrats on the release!

How is lemmy-ui-leptos coming along? Curious to know when it might be ready for primetime.

Except if it’s minified for production.

It’s easier to make small saves for games like The Pedestrian, because essentially all you have to track is which puzzles you’ve solved.

Whereas in an RPG with a persistent world like Cyberpunk or Skyrim, you have to save the state of every single object and mechanic the player has interacted with during their run, and there are usually a whole lot of those.

He’s another frame I like to take for a spin from time to time. I have a bit of a soft spot for Exalted melee brawlers; they’re one of my favorite power fantasies for frames.

I think his Restraint mechanic is an interesting way of gating access to his strongest ability, though I do find it hilarious that his optimal build requires you to absolutely decimate his ability duration.

I really like using the Battacor for its looks and versatility.

As for melees, nothing beats the Ohma for me. I just really like tonfas.

Federated?

You’re just throwing together FOSS buzzwords at this point.

Can you please not editorialize the post title when you make the video your post link?

A sample size of 1 isn’t really meaningful.

Also, this post is refuting a claim that isn’t really being made? At least not literally.

How do you know the features are making the browser slower?

How are you quantifying the increase in weight?

Order of operations is too ambiguous, needs more parentheses

After switching to Kagi, I see no reason to return to an ad-supported search engine.

Dead Games News: Response from UK Government (www.youtube.com)

From the videos description: News on what the UK government response means on the issue of game destruction by publishers! It’s not all awful, just most of it! Also, some news on how the campaign to end game destruction is going internationally. Relevant links below:...

I’m currently at work, so disclaimer: the following is an AI-generated summary.

  • The UK government has responded to the petition to stop game publishers from destroying players’ access to purchased games, but the response is complex and not entirely straightforward.
  • The government’s response suggests there may be some legal avenues to pursue, particularly around the requirement for clear information to be provided to consumers about the longevity of online games.
  • The key issue seems to be that most online games do not clearly disclose when their service will be shut down, depriving consumers of information needed to make an informed purchase decision.
  • Pursuing this angle through consumer protection regulations like the CPRs may be more promising than directly trying to prevent game shutdowns, which the government response suggests is not clearly prohibited.
  • However, there are many open questions about the specifics of how to report and pursue potential violations, including around time limits, penalties, and differences between UK and Scottish law.
  • The creator of the video acknowledges this is a complex legal maze, but believes there is potential to do “a lot of damage” to the industry if the right approach can be identified.
  • Gathering more signatures on the UK petition may help, but the creator is skeptical this alone will lead to legislative change.
  • Overall, the response provides some promising leads, but significant work is still needed to determine the best path forward and how to effectively leverage the apparent legal violations.
  • The creator expresses frustration at having to essentially act as “self-checkout law enforcement” to get the government to enforce existing consumer protection laws.
  • Despite the challenges, the creator remains determined to find a way to hold game publishers accountable and prevent the destruction of purchased games.

This basically boils down to “read the terms & conditions”, which isn’t unreasonable.

If a game states in its terms that access may be revoked at any time and you buy the game, then you have no reason to be surprised when access is eventually revoked.

Obviously when terms aren’t clear enough or intentionally obfuscated, that’s indeed an issue for legislation to act upon.

I’ve seen hearsay that there have been Yuzu patches specifically to aid compatibility with TOTK before it was officially out, which would have greatly supported the “mainly/primarily used for piracy” argument in court.

I can understand the decision somewhat.

Putting “The Lord of the Rings” first in the title would imply that this furthers the main canon, when it’s actually only set in its universe.

They could have indeed chosen a better subtitle though, like “from The Lord of the Rings”.
