Played it for a handful of hours, it’s unfortunately at it’s best when you’re rolling the enemy team or being rolled. Matches where the teams are even easily drag out into a 1+ hour slog. I did like the feature that integrates build guides into the ui.
A union wouldn’t actually help in this case since MS laid everyone off anyway. They only cared about keeping the IP and wouldn’t have really cared about striking workers. Antitrust laws are supposed to stop industry consolidation due to a large competitor buying a smaller one, but courts have been doing their best to make them unenforceable.
It’s so rare that a game that even needs a better card comes up it’d be hard to justify a new card even if prices were normal. I feel like I play maybe one game a year that makes me consider upgrading.
I really don’t understand all these articles either, I’ve been playing a lot of recent games and IMO this is one of the best years for gaming in nearly a decade. Tekken 8, Helldivers, animal well, and lethal company are all very recent games I’ve had a blast with this year. Maybe it feels bad because of consolidation under Sony and Microsoft, but I feel like nearly all the buyouts I’ve seen have been studios that were on life support creatively, if not monetarily. ActiBliz hadn’t released anything other than trendchasing crap and COD installments since overwatch, which went to shit long before OW2. The last good game Bethesda publiahed was prey and you’ve gotta go even further back for a good first party title.
It’s that + content drops being tied to in game story\metagame elements, and much better communication with the community than the previous game.
This is really only true if you don’t count dlss which mops the floor with fsr in terms of visual quality
Isn’t a huge part of the point of copy left licences that an author can’t change the license without rewriting the code entirely?
A dedicated server is needed because something needs to keep a catalog of the smart devices available on your network and ideally be accessible to many people in one household. You could make a system that went phone -> device but you would need to set up each device on each phone you wanted to use, which isn’t a great user experience. You could also run into issues where devices would need to handle multiple conflicting commands from different users coming in at once. Since smart devices are usually trying to use as little power as possible, that extra complexity would hurt you in that department. The third reason is that having a separate server enables automated workflows that would depend on an always online server that orchestrates multiple devices. For example, let’s say you have some automatic insulating blinds, a smart thermostat. You want to raise and lower the blinds to maximize your energy efficiency. Since you have the dedicated server, that server can check the temperature set point of your thermostat, current weather, and sunrise\sunset times. If it’s sunny out, and your set point is higher than the outdoor temperature, the server can raise the blinds to let warm sunlight in, and vice versa. If only your phone could control the devices a workflow like this couldn’t work when you were out of the house.
The enshitification discourse on lemmy is fucking nuts. Service goes from you getting a gaming PC completely free, no strings attached except your play session is limited to hour, to the same thing but you see preroll ads while you queue. Any person with more than two braincells could tell it was meant to be a trial for the paid service, but of course people on here are gonna cry because they don’t get free toys anymore.
If you want to share a set of feeds between devices, and sync read/unread, organization, etc.
I think AAA studios are the main culprits here, I haven’t been playing more than one game a year that requires a recent setup for many years now, and most of my friends are in the same boat. Most people in that situation aren’t gonna buy a new GPU even if a mid range card was ~$400. Graphics haven’t been improving much even in AAA titles either since the MO of live service titles is to get as many people playing as possible.
Also since this works on cards that are already old, it lets you eek out a few more years out of a card you already own rather than being a shitty excuse to overcharge for a weak card.
I got a set off ebay, Jesus christ they’re loud. I ended up returning them cause I could hear the grinding through my whole house
I think it’s because it’s the only one that comes close to working well
It’s much better than Pokémon imo, but if you don’t like JRPGs at all you probably won’t enjoy it.
Would love to see devolver or other small publishers put money behind this
Is this different than hosting an ftp server?
One of the main things I feel is missing is there doesn’t seem to be a way to view and track all tasks in all your pages, I generally like tasks to live with the relevant info rather than in the journals. Do you know if there’s a way to get something like that?
I’ve been using Logseq and syncing via syncthing, but you can sync with any file syncing service
Anyone buying into this vaporware a decade after the original announcement while it’s still nowhere near complete gets what’s coming.
