Making people pay to skip boring “gameplay” loops, and then paying them a trifle to get them to play more. While getting hundreds of time that from serving ads.
The good content is hiding somewhere under all that, promise! Keep digging and you’ll find it.
Signer maintenant pour ça, c’est pourri.
Maintenant dans mon coin de fonction publique y a eu des choix qui ont été fait il y a juste quelques années de ça, et on a passé pas mal de temps à intégrer du Microsoft. C’était clairement pas la préférence de tout le monde mais on n’a pas eu le choix. Même si on serait pas contre le principe, on flippe un peu qu’une décision politique nous demande de tout dégager et remplacer.
No, that’s why I said Super Famicom and PAL SNES were coloured. American SNES doesn’t like fun, so its buttons are all purple.
Not Google, but my favorite was “ethnaically anabigaus” appearing randomly on generated pictures.
Completely unrelated, but…
What the hell are those controller buttons?
One looks melted, the other 3 have weird shading like they’re partly hollow. Super Famicom and EU SNES (the ones with colours) are smooth and round.
You must connect with the road, every km or so stop and hug the asphalt.
The paper was right. I read that and I’m dying right now.
Dude.
You could at least look at what you’re replying to before jumping in and going full outrage mode. I didn’t even say anything about what I thought of the validity of that experiment.
Keep putting yourself forward to defend the poor, misjudged car company belonging to a crazy asshole.
They obviously pre-cut the wall, probably for safety reasons, and they were like, let’s make it a silly cartoon impact hole while we’re at it.
Good job.
Another generic live service bites the dust. Sure, keep trying for the formula that only works for about 5 games in the whole world at any given time.
I like how it thinks it is likely from a videogame, but somehow, it’s absolutely certain it has the character’s name.
And then a bunch of facts about famous videogame character Lemmy Kilmister.
Only yesterday, I searched for a very simple figure, the number of public service agents in a specific administrative region. This is, obviously, public information. There is a government site where you can get it. However I didn’t know the exact site, so I searched for it on Google.
Of course, AI summary shows up first, and gives me a confident answer, accurately mirroring my exact request. However the number seems way too low to me, so I go check the first actual search result, the aforementioned official site. Google’s shitty assistant took a sentence about a subgroup of agents, and presented it as the total. The real number was clearly given before, and was about 4 times that.
This is just a tidbit of information any human with the source would have identified in a second. How the hell are we supposed to trust AI for complex stuff after that?
I’ve only experienced LBP3 (which I understand was probably not the best part of the series) and found it just okay…
However Dreams is the one I wish Sony didn’t abandon.
French, I’ve tried bépo because AZERTY (the French standard since forever) seriously sucks. AZERTY is missing lots of diacritics and corresponding capital letters (including very common ones), lots of opening and closing characters are inexplicably separated, … And the same bullshit as QWERTY, no thought behind where alphabetical characters should be beyond 19th century’s “the mechanical arms of my typewriter should not cross too much”.
However I couldn’t commit to bépo and gave up. AZERTY is too ingrained in my mind at this point.
That paper lantern monster design feels familiar. I’m wondering if I’ve seen that asset somewhere else…
Yeah, it stinks. Another thing that makes me wish we’d got that Dreams PC port that was apparently considered at one point.
Very cool platform, powerful yet (somewhat) easy to use, and no other incentive than creating and sharing cool stuff. It’s mostly dead now , but PC would have given it the critical user mass it needed.
A good deal of people making games experiences on Roblox are minors. They’re being promised revenues, but of course they’re paid with bogus money that they’re encouraged to spend back on the platform, since cashing back is subject to an absolutely ridiculous rate, and to a minimum amount. Only the very few at the top can pretend to get anything back as real money. But all of the games, even the ones that never makes a cent for their creators, are the content Roblox milks indefinitely.
Roblox development is a jungle, completely unregulated and managed outside of the platform by design, since they want to deny all responsibility for any of that shit. They kill the platform forums so dev teams are being formed outside, on discords and stuff. Teams with minors working with adults. Yes, there were cases of exploitation, and worse.
That, and also possibly a mod. With procedural show descriptions like other art forms.
To keep up with the worst reasons for which people can hunt fossils, on top of selling them in auctions for rich assholes, now you’ll be able to grind them into a powder and sell them as medicinal remedies.
