Given they can’t find the place to pour engine oil, they probably won’t know what this means or how to do it.

Thank Goodness You’re Here is quite possibly the funniest game I’ve ever played - good suggestion.

Kind of both?

I hold the shower head in my hand almost the entire time, but when I need both hands (e.g. shampooing) I put it back in the holder and face away from it.

I can’t stand having the water running directly on my head or face - those waterfall shower heads are my nightmare scenario.

Well yeah - game development, a creative endeavour, benefits from continuity within the team working on it. Once you lose a certain percentage of that team, or even just a handful of key figures, the original vision and the lessons learned during its realisation are lost forever.

You’d think this was obvious, but apparently not to the c-suites, who see everyone as replaceable cogs.

Avoid taking your phones in the bathroom, as it can expose you to radiation and increase your chances of haemorrhoids.

Emphasis mine, but seeing this made me immediately discount this site as a reputable source.

This happened almost 3 months ago. Fuck Ubi for doing it, but posts to his community are supposed to be from within the last 30 days.

I can see that argument, sure. The fact that they asked people not to use it suggests it is having some effect on their brand.

I didn’t say I approve of the current tactics, I’m just pointing out that circumstances can be more complex than simply saying ‘let the parents sort it out’ and leaving it at that.

The issue with this argument is that many kids don’t have good parents, and some don’t have any parents at all.

Are those kids just supposed to be left to the mercy of bad actors because of their circumstances?

I’ll probably attract downvotes for this, but I find ‘Microslop’ as cringeworthy as old staples like Micro$haft or Crapple.

Like, yeah, they’re shitty companies. But calling them childish names just comes across as petty and insecure, kind of like when Trump gives someone a dumb nickname.

And now Rosetta is getting deprecated in the next release too!

Very few things in game dev are as simple as checking a box in the engine, unfortunately.

To distribute a macOS game on Steam I believe the app needs to be signed and notarised, which requires several extra steps and a (paid) Apple Developer account. It’s one reason why many devs simply don’t bother supporting the platform.

No, there’s no way to easily install Windows on Apple Silicon like back in the days of Bootcamp on Intel. If there’s no native macOS version of a game, you have to use translation layers like you would on Linux - either Wine or Apple’s own Game Porting Toolkit.

There’s also no support for 32-bit apps any more, so many older games with native macOS releases don’t work anymore either.

That said, when I looked through my Steam & GOG libraries on Mac I was surprised at how many games do apparently run natively. Far more than I expected. But it’s just a curiosity really - if I want to play a game I’ll use my PC.

That original version still exists - it’s called Save the World and iirc they recently revamped it and made it free for everyone (it used to be a standalone purchase).

Last time I played it I didn’t find it all that engaging, so it’s hardly surprising they stuck with BR as the lead mode once it took off. I guess my point is this: they didn’t ‘throw out’ StW, it just got eclipsed by a far more popular mode. Can’t really blame them for backing a winner.

And that’s not even close to a full list, either. There’s also Flight Simulator, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Hi-Fi Rush. Probably others I’m forgetting too.

There’s plenty to hate on MS for, and I’m not saying they haven’t squandered a lot of the talent they paid for, but to say they’ve released nothing great for over a decade is just ignorant.

Epic isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison with most other studios. They don’t just make games, they develop and support Unreal Engine for both games and film production, they operate EGS, a motion capture studio, ArtStation, Sketchfab, and a dozen other subsidiaries. It’s a huge company.

I don’t know about the Amazon, but he does own huge amounts of land in North Carolina which he has protected and/or donated to conservation schemes.

That’s just not true, at least in the UK. Debit cards are the standard here, not credit, and they don’t have the same age restrictions.

Browsing the web without an ad blocker is an act of self-harm.

Check out this fun little nugget from further down in the article:

Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology.

An entire second GPU just to run it.
