Thanks, must be a new theme/style. New to me at least.

Been seeing these styles of interfaces a lot recently, especially for presenting data. Ive been starting to think they are AI generated. Not necessarily the data powering them, but the UI/ux presenting the data.

Curious, why do you remember day 1 for you?

I don’t know mine. I do remember sitting in my kitchen at the family computer listening to the modem connect via an AOL disc though. Sometime in the late 90s if I had to guess.

Apparently in 1998 half of all cds produced worldwide had an AOL logo on them. Wild.

You’re being downvoted but this has been the reality for game devs for the industry’s lifetime. Only a few successful studios are able to have consistently employed devs and artists through multiple projects.

The reality in this industry is that it is project based and when the projects ship, they fire a lot of staff. I left this industry precisely because of this factor a decade ago.

I hope these devs and artists land on their feet quickly.

Contrary to others I liked this game quite a bit. The life skills were fun, if sometimes tedious, and the sound design of gathering materials out in the world was intoxicating.

I spent hours mining rocks and cutting down trees. I still hear the sounds of it sometimes.

Didn’t enjoy the combat that much but others seemed to have at the time. The game didn’t have much to keep it relevant long term but I’ll miss that flash in the pan that hooked me for a month or two way back when.

Something about this is absolutely hilarious to me. Sad though when thinking about it critically.

18 Republicans also opposed the budget. If every Democrat had joined the 18 Republicans in saying no, this budget would not have been approved

This is usually by design to protect risky seats and give the impression that they were opposed for political points. In essence those 18 Republicans are only enabled to vote no because they know Dems are supporting this passing. If more Dems voted no, less Republicans would have.

ICE is supposedly heading to Texas next. I think they might shoot back.

Bigots, often. No offence to the person you are replying to (they said they default partner = same sex) but really it’s mostly just people who refuse to broaden their worldview or accept neutral descriptive terms. Partner could mean any number of things and to assume it’s just a same sex couple is ignorant.

Oops my mistake Thanks for the correction

Uhh, going to need to see some evidence of that. Literally never heard of non indie devs getting royalties or continued payments based off the success of the game.

Actually I’ll correct myself, rockstar is the only company I’ve heard of that does big internal payouts post launch. Most of Rockstars game launches have resulted in new houses for some of their teams.

Got any other examples to share?

Oh so the OP of this thread is just worried for no reason (about krisp). That’s great news!

I don’t agree with the first but totally do the second. The Republican party fell in line and bridge divides across factions for the purpose of winning the government. Dems can’t seem to get past their ideological purity tests. Do you really think classic Republicans like maga? Fuck no they don’t, but they like winning and winning keeps them in power.

You have to win to run a government and shape it how you please. Period.

If I wanted to talk to NPCs at length I’d just type into a fucking chat bot. I play games to experience the developers story and vision, not endlessly prompt an npc.

I think your experience will be a common one for players.

Great for you. You did say “almost every workflow”. How many workflows exist beyond your own lived experience? Do you work on games, do you know all the workflows there? Citation absolutely fucking needed.

So what’s your process and how is it a boon?

We aren’t on Fox news here. Your concern trolling is also a nothingburger

Steve is a master at writing a script with so many words that says very little. I like a lot of the content but I gotta take it in small bursts.

Robotics has to get wildly cheaper and safer to replace any meaningful amount of work beyond factories or assembly lines

There’s a free demo you can try
