But the devs at ID are still very above average, likely due to that legacy. Their engine runs so well even with all the modern rendering turned on. If microsoft just turns whatever is left of them into another unreal engine slophouse, thats when it will truly be a different company.

Nobody ever says to pick the worse fit candidate just because they are a woman or whatever. That is a bullshit talking point by small minded people.

To an extent, but 10 skilled diverse people will result in higher quality than 10 skilled same people.

So yes, care about skill, but also make sure you get some free innovation by having varied opinions from differing cultures, backgrounds, genders, etc.

You’re right, you will definitely get downvoted with that opinion. The corpos sucking up data to track and advertise and whatever else is annoying, and i don’t want to make it even easier for them. And i definitely don’t want to help my shitass government round up undesirables any easier than they already can (including from those corpos…). There are no positives that i care about from an actual digital id. Privacy is harder and harder to come by everywhere in life, i don’t want to give an ID to use discord, steam, lemmy, or anything else.

Nah, fuck the AG for tying these 2 issues together. They don’t give a fuck about gambling, they just see a huge marketplace ripe for online ID and are snaking their way into it if they can.

Case and point right here with that correction.

So glad Digital Foundry escaped them and went independent.

Theyre getting more attention from all these articles every day than they ever had before for sure. Theyre loving this. None of their games have had much success, reviews low, player counts near 0… https://steamdb.info/developer/Santa+Ragione/

I dont care what obscure indie awards they won, 99% of people commenting, complaining, etc have never heard of the studio or their games, even within the indie space, the numbers show that.

Those pieces would still have their original low periapsis and deorbit pretty quick. Kessler syndrome isn’t about very low orbits where drag is significant

They are needed to craft badges, which level up your profile. Higher level profile means more customization. So if youre into the social aspect of steam then they are required at least a little bit. Obviously for you they aren’t needed so yeah you can just sell them to others and make a buck, and thats a pretty cool system imo.

The spin of it being positive for indie is absurd. Indie thrives on PC, not Xbox.

Not all indie games are low graphics requirements.

8GB VRAM is definitely a problem even at 1080p. There are already benchmarks showing this from various outlets. Not in every game of course, and it definitely hurts AAA mre than others. but it will get worse with time, and people buy GPUs to last several years, so it shouldn’t have a major issue on the day you buy it!

They did just successfully reuse a booster on the last test. One of the most powerful boosters ever launched was precisely caught on a tower and relaunched a few months later. But nope, no talent by those engineers.

Saturn 5 was obviously amazing, but we can’t use it as a benchmark today. We could do it again if we wanted, but we don’t want to. Standards and goals have changed. Both politically and in aerospace generally.

Is it disappointing that the ship keeps having issues? Yes. Does that make the program a waste? No. It will progress even if its slow. I’d rather it be late than not done ever, which was the status quo before SpaceX arrived. How many times must these goal posts be moved?

We are watching a whole new round of groundbreaking R&D unfold before our eyes and people are sitting here worrying about money. And a pretty small amount of money in the grand scheme of the country.

It is truly a shame that Elon is the evil asshole that started all this. It makes it so incredibly difficult to be a fan. But try to find the nuance. SpaceX has become so much more than him.

For your first part, i agree dev art has its charms. I don’t necessarily think that charm is lost if AI is introduced with a light touch to help them out. For sure if they just prompt and use slop then yeah, thats way worse. Curious, what if a dev hires an artist, and that artist uses AI tools in some form or another? Assuming they provide what the dev wants for the project at good quality, is there still an issue here?

I do agree with some of the copyright issues and computation issues in your second part. I don’t know what the solutions and future hold for this. I honestly just cede those points to the anti-ai crowd. It doesn’t stop me from being a supporter of these tools overall, but im mostly just interested from the technology side itself. And i really only use local models to tinker with them as a hobbiest, not posting anything.

Also side note, steam is already flooded with asset flips, functionally no different, haha.

Well to be fair, i don’t like art made by humans that are assholes either.

Though i dont agree that ai is inherently equal to those human assholes. Especially since for most of the important use cases (ie not spamming ai slop all over galleries online), an artist is usually the one influencing the ai tools, not the other way around.

If you’re mirroring the example being discussed above, then wouldn’t the alternative be that the game doesnt exist in the first place? The musician or artist cant afford to hire a game dev for x amount of time to make a game at all, thats why they used the tool. But using the tool allowed them to get closer to their vision anyway, even if it is imperfect.

Problem? Ive had the red skeletool as my only edc for over 10 years, it still looks great. I consider the worn paint on most of the exposed corners and such the same as i would a patina or whatever.

It doesn’t say this in the article, but they mention it in the DF video: they couldn’t tell which card it was on exactly, it was a 9070 or 9070 XT engineering sample.

Fr. Sony/polyphony missing out on so many fans of GT that don’t buy consoles anymore.

And no microsoft, forza is not the same…
