If Valve decided to sign hardware contracts at the prices that are forcing them to do this, that’s on them. I’m saying they shouldn’t have done that in the first place. The project should have been held off until it stabilized.

clarification: There is no way they didn’t have some form of forecasting on how much they would be paying per unit prior to signing said contracts. I agree with you, they probably have contracts in place now, but there’s no way they agreed to these contracts without knowing the price of hardware they ate buying. It’s not like they can sign a contract, and then two months later, AMD can be like, hey, by the way, you know that hardware market issue we have? Yeah, so that agreed upon rate you’re gonna have. We’re adding $300/p unit to it. Usually it’s a I will buy X amount of units at Y cost over Z period, and then they renew/negotiate the contract as needed.

I agree. their best play here would have likely been to just delay release until the hardware market stabilized. its going to flop at it’s current pricing.

I think the company could still likely chase people who do that for damages if something broke or for lost profit since it would be pretty clear that it was intentionally disabled/intended to stop its function so it would be pretty clear in a civil court that there was tortious intent.

I wouldn’t personally recommend doing it on these, they are essentially walking cameras.

I cancelled my sub as well for this year but, my only experience with this was well I selected “prime day delivery” to get the extra 1% on the card. It told me the following monday which was only like 3 days away so only a day more than if I did normal shipping so im like “oh ok thats fine”. It didn’t arrive monday and was updated to the monday after. I ended up cancelling the order full stop and got it at a brick and mortar when I was out that wednesday.

In some areas, they do open up community service buildings for the homeless in times of severe cold and heat. However, I have never seen a jail or prison do it.

I couldn’t imagine it would be worth the security risk since we’re talking a building that’s supposed to be pretty secure, and you can’t just have people entering and leaving it willy-nilly. That requires upkeep costs and staffing to be able to control and that doesn’t come free.

I guess they could convert visitation areas if it has it, but that’s going to restrict actual prison operation. But it’s not like they can just have them go in the empty cells because those cell blocks are still going to be inhabited by other prisoners. And they can’t just have civilians wandering a secure facility like that.

This is a good example that a lot of people don’t realize. Like for example, my uncle is a massive schizophrenic and has been homeless a couple of times. He repeatedly refuses to go to any type of shelter because he doesn’t trust anyone there.

Then my cousin got into drugs and refuses to go to any type of shelter because of their strict no-drug policy. So he would rather be on the street than get help because when he’s on the street he can at least get drugs. he would rather jump from friends place to friends place or sleep in a vehicle than try to better his life and use the shelter as a jump point.

Of course these are niche cases. I do think the majority of the people who are homeless would rather have it as a jump point or a place to get started. But there are definitely cases of people who aren’t going to go regardless.

very little will change because we’re approaching the day and age where even the older folk have Google accounts. So, like the other person said, kids are just going to use their parents account.

YouTube isn’t enough of a threat risk for any parent to really decide: “I need to heavily monitor what my kid is watching”. It’s not like it’s Pornhub or some other form of NSFW website. YouTube actually goes out of the way to remove a lot of the violent gory content as advertisers will usually refuse to have their ads be shown alongside them.

Sure, there is conspiracy theory videos, and you can find some violent style videos, but for the most part, it’s a tame enough environment that you can just let your kid roam free.

I’m willing to bet that most parents are either going to knowingly allow their kid on their account with maybe setting up content restrictions on the account or are going to have their kid unknowingly use their account due to the kid knowing their passwords.

My only real question I have since there isn’t any source code listed.

How secure/private is the actual file storage service? It runs over the onion project which is nice but, without source code there’s no proof or evidence of encryption, nor proof that files actually delete as well as other logging style services that a privacy oriented service would normally have.

My current network doesn’t support video because it’s really slow. And so therefore also can’t load any of the images on the Steam page. But just out of description alone, this sounds like FTL.

Not that that’s a bad thing, I’m a little excited because I loved FTL. But… I’m hoping it’s not just a copy/paste clone of FTL mechanics

edit: the images finally loaded, just from image alone it looks pretty cool.I would love a systembuilder ftl style game.

oh I misread that,I thought it had said final verdict 10, yea that’s much more likely what I would have had lol!

Honestly, if that was white rice, I probably would have settled for much more than 10 bags.

It sounds like the household requires quite a bit of rice, and white rice has a pretty decent shelf life even if not airtight or refrigerated

I go through about a bag and a half myself a year,and that’s without it being a family meal

I’ve always wondered this as well. Everyone I know swears by the 9-5/8-5 day shift and im like “but you can’t do like anything adult wise after or before work”

don’t say that, cause that means when they actually are up in running (as much as they can be) they will need to upgrade and cause another shortage once it seems it’s stablized again!

Yes. We should want native ports for sure but, that isn’t likely going to happen. It increases development costs maintaining two entire ecosystems. Until enough of the market is on Linux that developers start making native releases, proton is the best we got at this time. It’s easier to have a compatibility layer that the game devs only have to minorly adhere to, then have to pay for an entire different system on top of the windows environment.

Honestly, I would love if forced ident was required. but archival services need a hard exemption from being blocked as well.

“This website or search engine is not designed for the state of new york” I assume is going to be a disclaimer we will be seeing soon.

I know what it is but, NGL my eyes glazed over the word when I read it originally, although I defo could see a major corporation actually saying that so I would believe it regardless.

My honest opinion is that I would never play a game that tried that. It’s too much genre diversity in one game.

I think extraction is oversaturated at the moment/too heavily competed. As do I think the 5v5 team based shooters are.

I also think that at the point of adding survival ontop of it, you are trying to advertise to too broad of an audience. Your survival open world mode would be significantly different mechanics wise than your extraction mode, so you would essentially need to make an entire different game just for that mode. They are two polar opposite game styles. Extraction style is a fast paced perma death style mode with no real intent outside collection to increase char strength and skills, where survival is slow paced by norm and would need some form of driving factor to keep people interested in playing the mode, as the primary reason to play it (get shit and get out) is no longer in play.

if its a passion project/not expecting any return out of it. I would say go for it but, I think that if you intended to make it a monetization thing and have it take off, its a bit ambitious and I think you should start with one or the other.

“Fun surprise for gamers” is would be a wild statement to make for something that removes choice from gamers.

edit: changed phrasing to respect paraphrase in original comment

I want to add on to this comment that there are also users who use clients that hide the ability to downvote if negative scores or downvotes are disabled in the settings (which is fair). Tesseract is one that comes to mind with that restriction, where if downvotes are turned off, your downvote button is removed and the upvote button is replaced with a like/heart button.

Being said, agree I don’t see many low quality posts in the first place. But it would be nice if reports or comments could be included as a way to judge low effort as well,
