So change your design? The corporate mind cannot comprehend this.
The next update is going to be interesting…
Before committing to doing a thing you’re conflicted about, brainstorm about it twice. Once when sober. And once when not. If it seems like a good idea in both states, it will typically lead to having no regrets on the matter even if it doesn’t work out like you hoped.
The “experts” in this case are 2 teachers assistants in game design in one university weighing in on a whole swath of reasons such as financial impacts and other stuff, on which they are totally qualified to talk about.
We have reached the stage where if my son does his math homework, he should be referred to as a “math expert”, article’s a joke.
Never had a sandwich with baby seals, tho I’m willing to try most of anything once
“Red scare 2” now featuring Canadians, coming to a nazi shithole near you
Necronomicon cover but for pestilence matters only
This is, hands down, the funniest version of this that I have seen.
I even heard it in his voice goddamnit.
This is art.
Chronic? Yes. Pain? No, some other strain
I’m no expert but I heard you can compile the kernels to grow them yourself
Again with the “losing money” narrative. It doesn’t lose money, it costs money.
Now. Does it cost so much more than ever before? I don’t know. And if it does, why is that? Good questions.
But if it doesn’t cost proportionally so much more but we all stopped buying stamps or using the paid services it provides to subsidize its operational costs then that would explain the deficit. Otherwise we’d need to ask more pointed questions, I’m with you on that
But you can’t slap “basic reforms” on something when you don’t see or understand the larger underlying picture past the sensationalist headline and that’s unfortunately the point where most people stop asking questions
Canada post is a service. Its job is to provide a service to every person in the country, not to generate profit for shareholders. When it’s doing well, it can self sustain, which is cool, otherwise it costs money through tax dollars as would any services we pay for.
MVP - as in “minimum viable product”
More commonly known as the slop of a product or solution that’s being slinged to all the markets early on without adequate documentation, support, usability, scalability, standards or security.
“Corner the market” also deserves a disgusting mention.
That hole is already busy during regular business hours
If you have merde on your chair, you pushed too hard
You just gotta put it in yourself, like this:
Hi’m
Now you try
Petrichor?
Not sure if the smell of autumn’s decomposing has a distinct word though.
After reading some of the reviews, it would appear that you can’t play it offline on steam, you have to be logged in, which is dumb considering there’s a DRM free version that works without an internet connection
The “convenience” feels like a downgrade.
The complementary steam key is cool though.
As long as people can host a server instance, does it matter?
Hypothetically, even if it costs 1000$ per hour in AWS fees to get the required hardware to run that, at least you have the option to, alternatively have a peer to peer option to play smaller version on a LAN with a max of however many players your own network can support, there could be many implementations, which at the end of the day would still allow you to play the game when the official servers (authentication or room hosts) are shuttered and inaccessible
The main point of SKG is that currently, we, as customers, are not even getting the short end of the stick, we are getting no stick, despite having paid for it.
And ultimately, at the end of the day, not our problem to try to figure this out, the point is we’re unhappy with the current situation and want things to change.
Also note that none of this is retroactive, will only apply to games released in the future, so having an end of life plan as a requirement from the get-go is pretty simple to work on when nothing was done yet.
