AI may be a useless meme but evidently it’s also a forcing function for reasonable RAM minimums.

Gravity is tired of humans saying it causes things to fall down.

Ich bin selber Mitglied dieser Gruppe, und hab den Eindruck, dass viele Millenials/GenZ‘ers diese Frage teilen.

Doing the Lord’s work there, Sonny!

Console manufacturers will have to adapt and liberalize self-publishing to stay relevant. AAA gaming continues to enshittify, and indie games / smaller studios are the ones releasing the good titles.

Valve knows this, and the ease for developers to release on Steam means they’re well positioned to ride out the transition. By comparison, releasing on console means signing license agreements, getting access to proprietary SDKs, submitting your game through an approval process, getting each update reviewed, etc etc. The barriers make releasing on console very unappealing for smaller developers.

So IMO if the consoles want to ride out the decline of AAA games, they will need to reinvent their image and how they interact with smaller studios and indies.

What are they exhibiting? Lawsuits?

Yes you can run windows games fairly easily on Mac and Linux these days but it’s never quite as good as a native build.

There’s CrossOver on Mac which works pretty well for most titles too. Not as good as proton but let’s say 75% there. But you might be right that the success of proton is disincentivizing developers from targeting either. Still disappointing though as a game like this is an ideal candidate for Mac and Linux, compared to some AAA title.

Makes me sad to see it’s Windows only given it’s so graphically simple and low tech. Should be a shoe-in for a Mac and Linux version.

Edit: yes I know proton exists, my point is that as an indie game it is likely built with something like Unity or Godot, and thus exporting a native Mac and Linux build is just a matter of turning on a couple check boxes.

Kind of surprising that it hasn’t happened yet, honestly. I feel like this is one of the few remaining big PS1/2 titles that hasn’t gotten a remake. Do Syphon Filter next!

It does go on sale from time to time. I picked it up on Xbox last year for 60% off if I recall correctly.

Nope, you can buy an external one or something as an accessory but it’s another hundred bucks.

Einfach, von den Libyern, Doc!

Yeah, those started working again with the previous patch.

COD 1 & 2 were excellent games. Man, how far they have fallen.

I was just going to post the same thing. I took the same bus route and man that was scary at some points looking out the window, over the edge.

This kind of seems like a non-article to me. LLMs are trained on the corpus of written text that exists out in the world, which are overwhelmingly standard English. American dialects effectively only exist while spoken, be it a regional or city dialect, the black or chicano dialect, etc. So how would LLMs learn them? Seems like not a bias by AI models themselves, rather a reflection of the source material.

Literally every company’s “corporate culture” right here. Assemble a room full of people who know what they’re doing, then boss man dictates what should be done with his very limited information, all the while not listening to said people who know what they’re doing, because ThE pRoJeCt, or the ScHeDuLe, or the shareholders, or fucking whatever. Truly, American capitalism cannot be perfected upon.

I say this as a Swift developer (and Obj-C before that), who’s built apps on Apple platforms for 20 years. I love the language and I love developing for Mac and iOS. But why would you reach for Swift for a cross platform browser? The support on Windows and Android is in its infancy, and it’s not a widely known or used language in the context of system programming. I’d never write a mobile app in any other language, but I’d never write a browser engine in this one.

Anybody got that Steve Huffman pig boy meme handy?
