Twisted Metal is getting the Halo treatment with a "we pulled the sets and costumes out of a cancelled CW show", so now would be the time to reboot the underdog battle car arena game.
The 343 Industries shooter exclusive to PC and Xbox consoles is at its worst on the Valve platform with a considerable drop in players compared to its prem...
343 cant make Halo cause Microsoft wants Halo The Product, not Halo The Game.
They dont want couches of happy people playing Blood Gulch, they want preorders and that "marketing moment" they got with Halo 2 and 3. They dont care about the franchise as a thing to be enjoyed, they only understand it as the thing that can be sold, and it shows.
343 devs have gone on record saying the rework of the core game and the stagnant development was due to MS saying "no, thats TOO Halo, you have to make the NEW THING." And thus we get clusterfuck stories, reworked weapons for no reason (seriously, ANOTHER new pistol and they get rid of the SHOTGUN?), ziplines pulled from Apex Legends and more out of game marketing collabs than in game content. Oh and a shit TV show that Neil Blomkamp shouldve gotten greenlit to make 10 fucking years ago.
Also the PC port of Infinite is trash. You cant give any player input without the frame rate going bananas. Stand still and I get 60 FPS, any motion its 5.
Ad revenue was the Pandora's Shit Box that has opened up the fall of capitalism. Can i just watch ads all day while i work my shit job instead so I can have a fucking life, Mr Corporation?
Maybe it's that first PUBG victory, or becoming a Grand Champion on Rocket League. Maybe it's the time you got passed that awfully difficult level, or the time you actually got around to finishing your backlog....
The classics like Super Metroid, Turtles In Time, F-Zero and Link to the Past are always on rotation but I always love to pop on Cybernator (aka Assault Suits Valken) for a good run and gun mech time. Time Trax is another one not mentioned often but is nostalgic for me.
Now imagine I own the encyclopedia, and Walmart offers me money.
So i paste Walmart's Xmas catalogue pages in between the useful information in the encyclopedia. You ask about frog facts, you get frog pajamas. You try to look up cultural information and get travel ticket prices. You never planned on purchasing anything, and you are too poor too anyway. But somehow I and Walmart make money off of your displeasure.
This is ad revenue. This is the modern economy. Its a sham. Its an infinite money go brrrttt machine for billionaires.
A great use for reddit is the ability to search posts and opinions about any niche topic. Will that be possible with Lemmy as it grows? Will I be able to Google "instant rice Lemmy" and get a comprehensive tier list of each brand?...
Anyone know minimum requirements to run Ubuntu. The main flavor as well as any other you want to share. Also, suggest any other distrio for a 15 year old laptop. Thanks.
Ive used Lubuntu on old machines in the age range OP is asking and its great. Turns a 2011 Macbook into a functional machine, had what felt like out-of-the-box performance.
That being said, the best performance gains from laptops can honestly just be a good cleaning. Cat hair and dust in machines that are hot day 1 can add up and send your CPU into "please help me" mode.
in what world do you think a github link is helpful to a normie tho?
Thats what I mean: it should be more accessible and more usable natively. If there are solutions out there open source, it would be nice to have a sort of "App Store" or similar experience, like a plug-ins or Extensions menu or something more user friendly.
if they (we?) can make things like that happen, it would be revolutionary IMO.
Most definitely. But all it takes is one visionary with one repository of a good idea to inspire a community.
The growing pains will hurt, but being open source alone gives me more confidence than I have in CEOs of competitors. Im still trying to figure out this whole "Federation" business with fediverse. If they can make it more digestible it will certainly eclipse the current lot.
