We already have that, the first problem is we have like a dozen of them, a few are even well supported. The second problem is that usually the technical knowledge required to set up the systems are still lower than the technical knowledge required to keep it running.
A lot of companies do it, if they can control the spread of information, they can pretend that everything is fine for a few more months and maybe collect a bit more revenue making it slightly better for the stockholders.
This strike affects only a portion of the games development, almost entirely voice acting. Important in a lot of genres, but like… The Sims is their top game, if they just reused voice content from older content and remixed it a bit, I doubt 90% of us would notice.
They probably dug out the old molds to make most of the pieces, would make sense.
They could be legitimately better with new processes implemented by the factories/etc.
I’m still on the Sims 3 because you can get it origin free still, but I feel like the Sims treadmill is just buying mostly the same game over and over. There’s a lot of franchises like that, but I feel like it’s a lot harder for a game like the Sims with the demographics it serves to keep creating reasons to upgrade.
I would think the fact that they’re silent indicates that they don’t have a fix that they like.
If that’s the case, I’d imagine they’d keep silent until that changes or they get sued.
It’s always felt like the world’s fanciest microtransaction fueled cell phone app to me but just on a PC. There is something there, but it’s not what the ads make it look like and you’ll have to pay a lot to even get close.
I see where your head is at here, but it sounds like you’re focusing on containerized items. A lot of people are going to look at you real weird if you think of scaling down a container as equivalent to shutting down a server. We can all see where your mind is going and there is logic there, but it’s more akin to closing chrome when you’re not using it than it is to shutting down the computer running chrome.
Have you looked into specialized AI chips/accelerators at all if you really want to mess with it?
Way lower end than what you’re working with, but they have AI accelerator kits for something as small as a Raspberry Pi.
That brings up another point…
I’m glad we’ve got such comprehensive mods in the works, but anyone else real tired of so many news sites trying to pass them off as official? Like, I get why person up there is confused.
I know I’m likely alone, but I’m actually kind of bummed on this change.
The old fluid system is janky and unpredictable and I have other complaints, but the way things flowed was sometimes part of the fun. I’ll kind of miss the puzzles of ‘Why are my flamethrowers not working again?’
More importantly, Kenshi with a color palette.
I feel like they’re going to try their best to do it in a profoundly stupid way, but I think games can be one of the places where AI really works.
AI as a means for building out conversations with NPCs and strengthening other world building makes a lot of sense, but like here… They’re talking about using it to guide players away from one of the key things that make Minecraft a compelling game. Asking AI ‘How do I make a sword’ is not as compelling as figuring it out yourself with the context you have available… The beauty of Minecraft is that you can figure out the basics on your own and can extrapolate to… maybe not everything, but most things from figuring out those basic concepts.
It sounds like you’re getting into the keeping it running phase.
First, going back to your previous comment, self-hosting email is difficult. It’s not hard for a small provider to end up blacklisted and you’re probably kind of just done at that point and it will feel very unfair. I get that it’s a fun set of technical challenges, but you couldn’t pay me enough to help someone self-host email.
Second, guessing, but it sounds like you may be trying to expose your services directly and doing a lot to make that work which goes against what most would recommend for hosting your own services. Big companies don’t expose their intranet like that, follow their example. Almost every guide or system is going to warn against that. If you’re going to host more than one thing, highly recommend focusing on minimizing entry points and looking into a VPN-like solution for accessing most if not all of your services. Still spend time on securing your intranet, but most of your risk is going to come from how hard it is for people to get past the front door (or doors).
