Was ist dann Wahlwerbung? Denn die Plakete sagen im wesentlichen genau das … “Wähle X!”.

Epic have come a long way from Epic MegaGames, and it isn’t always a fairytale story I suppose.

Someone here on Lemmy highlighted that quite nicely when Valve dropped their Half Life documentary. Valve embraces their past. They cherish it. They still maintain their old games to honor their success.

Epic on the other hand completely wiped old Unreal titles from the relevant stores and don’t give a fuck about supporting any of them. Which is a shame. Also I admire the tech behind of modern Unreal engines, so there are still geniuses at work who are likely passionate. Too bad they essentially only ride the Fortnite train outside their engine development.

Maybe not your particular board, but platformio supports Linux for ages. I worked with that 6 years ago (on arch, btw).

I would consider Todd Howard to be part of development (since he directs the creative and narrative angle, from what I understand).

He defended bad performance with “get better hardware”. He defended criticism of the content with “you play the game wrong”.

Both are bullshit “excuses”. The first one was even debunked by modders who showed that there was potential for optimization. And modders are far more limited than engine devs. The game doesn’t look ugly, but there are far better looking games with more scene complexity out there that run better.

And “you play it wrong” is bullshit because if enough people play it wrong to have an effect on the rating of the game, then the game is badly designed. Part of game design is making sure the game explains itself or subtly pulls players in the right direction. Either they failed with that, or there simply is no clear direction. But that’s not the players fault.

Yeah but businesses typically don’t go out and rub that in their customers faces. That’s basically what most of the complaints are about: Bethesda should just shut the fuck up and swallow their pride. Is some/most of the stuff people throw at them unfair? Likely. Is it completely unwarranted? No. Should they defend it? Also no.

I think it’s technically still there… hidden behind custom fronts.

I can second that. Valheim has a very neat balance between exploring, fighting and building. If you don’t progress to quick, even your base is relatively safe. Although I now have turned off raids completely. So my base is always safe and if I want action, I can venture out into the world. I like that.

Dass es wie geschmiert läuft?

Google had deals that were revealed. For example Spotify was exempt from paying those 30%.

Sure, but the thing is: only a single person needs to break it temporarily in some way and this person can then leak the DRM free copy for everyone to consume.

That’s why DRM is such bullshit. It only ever punishes legitimate users. All others are unaffected.

Don’t let it cool too much, though.

Does this replace the third party Better Thermostat?

Nope, you aren’t the only one.

It pisses me off each time, but I also expected it.

I can still throw away my fire tv stick then. At the moment it still does the job I bought it for and I won’t produce unnecessary garbage for something that might happen in the future.

You can btw “simply” opt out from this in the settings (look for “featured content” and disable it).

Yes it should be opt-in, but it’s not that hard to keep the fire tv (stick) being a good device for the price paid.

Westwood fits into that list.

So we could use a blockchain… (/s)

Was ich damit sagen wollte: bei so jemandem kann man jetzt weder unterstellen, dass er halt keine Fahrpraxis hat noch, dass sein Theoriewissen 60 Jahre zurück liegt. Wenn Oma Frida nach dem Tod ihres Mannes nach 40 Jahren das erste mal wieder am Steuer sitzt, kann man ja vlt. noch mit “die konnte das nicht einschätzen” abtun. (Auch wenn man selbst dann vlt. soviel Verstand verlangen sollte, dass man in dem Fall freiwillig auffrischt oder die Finger vom Auto lässt.) Aber bei einem Profi kann (und sollte, mMn) man schon härter vorgehen. Wenn man schon von einem Profi keinen sachgemäßen Umgang erwarten kann, wie zum Fick sollte man dann jemals von einem “Laien” irgendwas erwarten? Da kann man ja quasi bei jedem normalo Autofahrer Vorsatz einfach weglassen, weil “kann der ja nicht wissen, dass das passiert”.

Dann anders: der Letzten Generation unterstellt man praktisch Terrorismus, wohingegen der LKW Fahrer - also ein Berufskraftfahrer der regelmäßig seinen Führerschein auffrischen muss - angeblich nicht ob der Gefahr seines Gefährtes wissen kann. Schon absurd.

If a significant amount of people “misunderstood” you, it’s not their fault, but yours for not clearly communicating or not tailoring your communication for the target audience.

Same here: if people play the game “wrong”, you didn’t design it properly and/or marketed it completely wrong.

Sure, there will always be “dumb” (or too clever) individuals who you simply can’t properly address and satisfy, but if the group is large enough to be loud, you failed your job.
