Human capital is the most expensive direct cost of business. Reducing it as much as possible is the goal of any business.

Debian testing is other distros stable release.

• A quote from my good friend that runs Guix, stumpwm, and emacs.

If you’re running Debian stable, your hardware was probably too new for the kernel. Unless they changed their development paradigm when I last ran it, stable is always 2-3 years behind mainline Linux software aside from security patches. It’s one of the key reasons why it’s so stable.

See the on the official wiki.

It’ll never be in the play store either because the play store terms of service forbids apps that interfere with Googles revenue streams.

There were a lot of fundamental changes under the hood going from DX11 to DX12 concerning fundamental programming paradigms in the API that a lot of devs are still grappling with. It’s probably just something that will take some time for people to get used to.

Hopefully. I don’t really see Intel going toe to toe with Nvidia in the enthusiast market with the 4080/4090 but I could see them targeting something like the 4070 from Nvidia or the 7800 and future cards from AMD on their high end.

It’s by Nexon anyway. If you don’t play it you probably dodged a bullet. Their games are extremely P2W and they literally pioneered the earn in-game currency that you can only use to trial weapons and characters method of wealth extraction. It’s been so long since I’ve played one of their games, but that form of microtransaction has always stuck with me as a “if I see it, I’m immediately deleting your game” approach to gaming.

Nahh, this is before your city even gets off the ground apparently.

There’s reviews claiming that as your game goes on, the performance gets worse, even with the correct graphical settings. There’s something fundamentally wrong with the engine that Collosal needs to patch before picking it up.

I think a lot of those CRPGs were built under the premise that your companions were meant to die as expendable fodder for the player character. I know old school Fallout was built like that. It’s a real challenge keeping everyone alive till the end of 1 and 2.

Replaying AC Odyssey as Alexios. It’s weird to see angry Kassandra.

So far I’ve been disappointed in dialogue and interactions with NPCs, even in the main story, where I expected things to change between the two characters, but the dialogue has been mostly all the same.

But hey, I get really fun, ancient Greece ship combat. 10/10 recommend the game just for that.

Edit: Also playing through Hades for the first time since purchasing it. I love how Supergiant put their own spin on all the Gods and Demi-Gods while keeping them mostly true to their depictions in Greek myth.

Now let’s all pretend that MS and Phil aren’t buying up publishers to have another monopoly full of Xbox/PC exclusives. Tbf though, I think Sony started this whole exclusives thing and really pushed hard for it. They do, however, seem to be relenting now by publishing their games to steam.

If the rumors regarding the performance for the sequel are true, they won’t even have a working game on launch.

That was actually a Microsoft/Phil Spencer decision. If the man gets his way, a lot more studios could fall into The Xbox Exclusive club.

Honestly, I wish exclusives between the consoles would go away, they do more harm to the industry than good.

Huh, I always thought that the creation engine was something they built from scratch. No wonder it has all the same problems.

Titanfall 2. Its the only game I've ever played to successfully integrate time travel in a way that makes sense and feels good. They could have built an entire game around that mechanic alone and you only get it for a single level.

Also, the campaign in general is top-notch storytelling for an FPS.

Hey hey, that's not entirely true. Before the creation engine, they did use gamebryo as well as an in-house engine for the older titles pre-Morrowind.

Its just that the creation engine is a carbon copy rip off of gamebryo. The initial version of the creation engine even had the same bugs from gamebryo, some of which persist to this day.

I find syntax wise, Rust is very closely bordering on esoteric. My employer is currently considering switching to Rust and I can say working in a department with a bunch of Data Scientists with varying degrees of programming experience and capability, this switch, if it happens, will probably be poorly received.
