Katana314,

I can barely remember when I first heard about this Indiana Jones game. Must have had some form of development hell.

Katana314,

This is ableism. Biden doesn’t mumble because of his age, but because he’s had issues with stuttering since he was young. To a few kids he’s even been an inspiring image for the fact he rehearses his speeches so well he rises above the impromptu stutters.

Katana314,

I’m still pretty impressed Aggro Crab went straight from a game like that to Another Crab’s Treasure, or Crab Souls as some have been labeling it.

Katana314,

Wouldn’t the solution if you want a view be to have a larger area at the middle, with side portions you wouldn’t walk to if you’re simply trying to get over?

If it’s a road, it’s not a tourist stop - the word stop being very operative there.

Katana314,

The other important point to make:

It’s normal to view wild ideas like troves of automated users with some skepticism. But consider: Foreign entities would likely have a huge incentive to destabilize domestic elections. If you were them, and had plenty of spare personnel, and A.I. resources…what would you do?

Katana314,

Russia already interfered with the 2016 election, so they disagree with you.

AI doesn’t have to be used as an autoprompter. Paid workers can still review their output or use them for prompting.

If I were Chinese, I might suspect the US intelligence committee enacting foreign influence. But locally, they want functioning government so they get paid.

Also, besides the over-the-top insults, note this guy’s account is new.

Katana314,

Not sure if many will join me on it, but with Microsoft going on the death march for studios, this might be the first of their major releases I don’t even bother with on Game Pass. After all, they fired Tango Gameworks, who knows when they’ll cut these devs loose.

Katana314,

By this measure, justice was impossible to achieve before the invention of the cell phone video camera.

Katana314,

You’ve just invented the market for a combo gaming-handheld/electric heating blanket.

Katana314,

I definitely wish there was more negotiation with tech library companies about this. It makes sense for movies - it’s a one-time experience, you only see the supporting studios’ logos one time, and it’s just building anticipation for the opening moments of the movie. But games are things people play twenty times a week. Someone might see the logos more if they play in shorter sessions, and maybe even avoid playing for a night because they’re familiar with the two minutes of setup to get to “actually playing”.

I even wish there was more effort to put gaming menus before the launch. A long time ago, Steam standardized a server picker for their own games, so you could skip “launching the game, hitting Server Browser”, instead just open the server list, double click one, and then that’s your “launching” task taking you to the thing you want to play. Even consoles could do this, even for games using matchmaking. I remember this being something the PS5 promoted in its menus but, not having a PS5, I’m curious if many games followed though.

Katana314,

Sure, daddy might beat me sometimes. But if you tell the cops to arrest him, he said he’ll get his friend to beat me harder.

Katana314,

I enjoyed Game Pass already on my PC - I even subbed to it when it was strictly “Console game pass” and so happened to give PC access to a few crossplay titles. I ended up taking someone’s used, dusty Xbox One just to get into some of the console-only games. Later, I upgraded to a Series S since I figured my whole Xbox library was digital and I didn’t own a 4KTV.

But, my enjoyment of Game Pass was reliant on sudden surprise hits like Hi-Fi Rush. So, now that they’re firing the people making games like that, I’m probably done as they’re moving a different direction from what I want.

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

Katana314,

Downloads on my Surface for the sake of my vacation were the reason I resubscribed. Seems fitting it should be the reason I unsubscribe. I only worry about finding a good point of communication to let them know about this reason.

Katana314,

I had a lot of fun with my Vita even without hacking it. It had a longer lifetime than people realize, in part through digital sales and indie games that were planning to do PS3/PS4 releases anyway.

Katana314,

What, you don’t like entering a fight only to lose all your HP in an instant to someone that spent 2000 hours grinding critical hit chance stats?

Katana314,

I upvoted you for at least naming a potential candidate, rather than vaguely saying “someone else”.

Katana314,

RDR2 is theoretically a big one, but of course most people that wanted to play it already have somewhere else.

Katana314,

I have an idea for the practice that could help us better explore practical uses. Basically, a company may train an AI off an actor’s voice, but that actor retains full non-transferable ownership/control of any voices generated from that AI.

So, if a game is premiering a new game mode that needs 15 new lines from a character, but their actor is busy drinking Captain Morgan in their pool, the company can generate those 15 lines from AI, but MUST have a communication with the actor where they approve the lines, and agree on a price for them.

It would allow for dynamic voice moments in a small capacity, and keep actors in business. It would still need some degree of regulation to ensure no one pushes gross incentives.

Katana314,

So which would you consider crazier: The random Helldiver streamer, or:

I WANT TO LICK THE OCEAN

Katana314,

I get the impression “opening a file” is treated as a different action in Linux from “executing a file”. They don’t want the user request of “Oh, I guess I’ll look at this image” to accidentally result in a system takeover - so any “run this file” actions are more manual.

“We’d like for our software to ThingDo. Our team has estimated 4 weeks for this work. What’s your estimate?”
“Wait, you want to write it from scratch? Why not just plug in ThingDoer library?”
“…ah, right. Damn libs.”

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services (www.theguardian.com)

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

Katana314,

Most people would be fine with this in the case of a home user duplicating one or two copies for his kids to watch and as backups. But we have seen whenever a rule permits something, someone will work out the MAXIMUM way in which they can abuse it for profit. Give them an inch, and they take a mile.

Ideally, we could have laws that are really finely built to be specific to that first scenario. But I honestly don’t know how you write those.

Katana314,

The postal service has recently been a victim of a lot of theft targeting checks. People are willing to rob postal workers at gunpoint for their box key. Then, thieves sift through all the letters for a chance of finding a check.

Worse, they have ways of “washing” the check to turn it into a blank check, and reuse it with a new amount and recipient.

Katana314,

Careful, if it’s only good enough to be GOTY that could get them fired. Gotta aim for them GTA 7 levels of success.

Katana314,

I think the issue is, asking people to set up PSN was the plan all along - and they somewhat ineptly realized months after their hit game’s release that caused a problem for Steam users not in PSN countries.

Xbox and EA all require accounts for their games too, but they’ve done that forever, and are a bit more territory-neutral.
