ArenaNet officially moving away from Twitter as primary means of communication (en-forum.guildwars2.com)

We have always used the official Guild Wars 2 Twitter account as our primary place to give players updates and information on emergent game issues, among many other things. What made this channel so useful was that it allowed us to communicate quickly and succinctly, and our entire community could see the updates regardless of...

"I Can't Afford to Sue DC": Fables Creator Releases Hit Comic Series into Public Domain (Including Wolf Among Us) (screenrant.com)

Summarizing his statement wouldn't do it justice so I recommend you read it in full, he explains why he does it and what has DC done to anger him to this extent - but it's also a move about more than just to spite DC....

You just finished setting up all your services and it works fine - how do you now prepare for eventual drive failure?

I know that for data storage the best bet is a NAS and RAID1 or something in that vein, but what about all the docker containers you are running, carefully configured services on your rpi, installed *arr services on your PC, etc.?...

Amazing and beautiful game, the only issue I have with endless * series is that the combat always falls short for me, but you can still easily get a few dozen fun hours out of it.

Why was there even pressure to deliver if the official API wasn't even out yet? I thought they were just working on UI and basic functionality until they can plug in the API, so if anything they had more time and leisure than if everyone were screaming "i need it now". It seems more likely they just bit more than they could chew and decided to give up the app development since it ended up being harder than they thought (and that's completely fine to do). You don't really make an app like this overnight, especially if you have no prior experience doing it.

Skill Up - Here's why I'm very keen for Remnant II (Hands-on impressions) (www.youtube.com)

Remnant II certainly is more Remnant, but it's by no means resting on its laurels. There are some big changes coming to core elements of the experience - from class design to visuals to procedural generation and more. Based on my hands-on time with it, all the new stuff is paying off - big time....

Against the Storm - Embark on a journey in Cycles Reforged Update! - Steam News (store.steampowered.com)

A big update just dropped for one of my favorite games of the year. The developers have been amazing supporting the game and communicating with the playerbase ever since it launched on steam in early access, the game feels extremely well polished and fun to play so check it out if you're interested in a challenging atmospheric...

Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of innovation in the genre and what we have is often a buggy mess - that definitely doesn't help the adoption of 'deep strategy'. I love games like what you mentioned but even I get sick of them when I start running into AI or optimization issues, where games devolve into snowballing or boring tedium after the first few hours, when the UI is a frustrating mess that makes me hate every second spent on trying to make it work the way I need it to work.

Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the amount of polish and thought that goes into games like factorio or against the storm.

Same experience here, it's a fun and entertaining movie. FR is still better but that is a perfect movie IMHO, it'd be next to impossible to match or beat it in any way

Never understood what people see in that game, it was like any basic ubisoft open world game - grindy, repetitive and filled with question marks to explore and "clear". The ground combat was exceptionally bad IIRC, I gave it up after ~6 hours.

Now if you got Bend Studio to work on a sequel... I'd be interested in that

I really like this game! Wish it had more pve content, as it seems it's very dependant on pvp interactions to spice up the late game, but even without that the exploration, combat and gear progression is really fun and engaging. The game also looks great and feels really good to play, neat UI and controls for both combat and building.

Basically, if it were primarily a pve sandbox game with AI to fight it'd be my dream game!

For me personally it's not Sony as much as how grindy the game feels. Requisition credits and most samples are just going to waste, xp is kinda meaningless so the only thing I'm getting are extremely small amounts of medals and SCs which just feels bad.

Oh absolutely, it's a shame but long gone are the days of having access to like 3 games in total and having to play them all the time as a kid. Nowadays if there's isn't something new in the game every few months it just disappears from my mind - there's always something else, newer and better, to take that space instead, for better or for worse. I enjoy helldivers but after 80ish hours of repetitive missions, I need new toys to make it interesting.

That's a very naive perspective though. We're not blaming the guns for gun violence, it's the people, but restricting access to guns is still the proven way to reduce gun incidents. One day when everyone is enlightened enough to not need such restrictions then we can lift them but we're very far from that point, and the same goes for tools like "AI".

Very easy time if it's about commercial use (well, at least outside of china). Companies need to have licenses for the software they use, they have to obey copyright laws and trademarks, have contracts and permissions for anything they use in their day to day work. It's the same reason why no serious company wants to even touch any competitor's leaked source code when it appears online.

Just because AI tech bros live in a bubble of their own, thinking they can just take and repurpose anything they need, doesn't mean it should be like that - for the most case it isn't and in this case, the law just hasn't caught up with the tech yet.

Damn, thinking about the msn messenger brings me back to such simpler and happier times

Lorca got me through discovery for a season or two and then he was gone, I don't think I watched anything beyond it. I hear it's only gotten worse, somehow
