Finally! Now I can switch back to the “normal” Steam Beta build for other experimental features, Steam Family was on a separate beta build which didn’t allow me to try other things…

Zen Browser, love the split view feature, and native vertical tabs !

It’s a Firefox fork btw

Firefox because of the addons, also because it syncs (weirdly, but still) with Firefox on my pc

Yeah idk what else can be a testimony of a game being a “hut” ; I don’t trust metacritic scores either

Listenbourg from Lidl

Yeah I went to Wikipedia to check the numbers :

The group’s “main catalogue”—songs released between 1962 and 1970—consists of 213 songs

So that’s like 50+ songs that were “hits”, wake me up when Gearbox releases 200+ games and 50 of those are nominated for at least one awards

That was what I was trying to convey thanks for being better at words haha

I remember when gearbox released a video about working on ROR2 after they acquired the IP. The CEO or creative director or whoever was talking about understanding people’s expectations, and called them “users”. Not players, not fans, just “users”. I thought this was a good enough warning that they had no idea what they were doing.

I think it was this video but I don’t remember the timestamp : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzD3jWETeW4 the fact that this is barely a documentary on the history of the game and itself a disguised and for their upcoming (at the time) dlc was another forewarning sign…

On the other hand, since it’s Ubisoft, you’re guaranteed a 70% sale 8 months after release for each of their games. I don’t know why anyone would buy their games on release when they all get deep discounts less than a year later

Unless it’s because so many people fall for their scams that they can afford those kind of sales

This interaction reads like a tennis match

but the electoral math didn’t seem to be on Sanders’s mind.”

No indeed, Sanders has the people’s rights in mind, first and foremost,

“electoral maths” is such a cynical view of the political fight… Dare I even say this is a loser mindset

Oh wow thanks for the correction, I’ll edit my comment

Most open source projects will have a donation page / link, so it relies on people feeling compelled to donate because the software provided is useful to them.

Lemmy for example has options for financially supporting its development. Some Lemmy instances also feature a link to a donation page to cover the hosting costs.

Some have an organisation behind it, like Firefox has the Mozilla Foundation to finance it. Actually it’s the other way around, see ahal’s comment below

The team behind VLC has a “for profit” branch that adapts the video software for companies, allowing them to also finance VLC’s development in addition to donations.

This is quite a smart solution, good job !

I admire your patience in interacting with such an obnoxious individual lol

They did a good job with their first title (as a new studio) : Weird West had a great recipe for systemic gameplay, I don’t know if it sold as much as they were hoping (and reviews were okay), but they definitely have the right people to work on a spiritual successor to Arkane’s hits

It’s an open world survival crafting tower defense rogue like survivor like early access gacha !

Graphics wise mostly, it runs okay (30 to 40 FPS), but there’s some input lag because of it in some environment heavy parts

This is a point brought up in Scorcese’s Silence (maybe also in the novel written by Endo, which the film was written from) :

Ferreira: Francis Xavier came here to teach the Japanese about the son of God. But first he had to ask how to refer to God. “Dainichi”, he was told. And shall I show you their Dainichi?

[He points to the sun in the sky]

Ferreira: Behold… there is the SUN of God. God’s only begotten sun. In the scriptures Jesus rose on the third day. In Japan… the sun of God rises daily.

I don’t know if this will get as much content as Skyrim has do far, but this is huge, I’m hoping we get to see how deep modders can go
