Lemmy needs to move away from downvotes altogether, or make it totally pointless. Just because Reddit uses it doesn’t make it a good idea.

No. This is just a return to the days of the IE-only web. It will be problematic but it won’t be the end of the web.

This. People are basically in denial over how poorly Mozilla is handling Firefox. They are genuinely going to drive their product to zero marketshare pretty soon.

Without delving into the question over how good the game is, this sounds like a company that simply has the wrong processes in place. A case of “working hard” instead of “working smart.” As a result, they waste a lot of time and resources on things that ultimately don’t matter. I’m sure the person in question worked really really hard on the game, but it’s mostly pointless and ineffectively effort.

Traditionally, the alternatives to Reddit were worse than Reddit. This is the first time that that is no longer true.

You can also make an argument that Reddit was the improved version of Digg. History can repeat itself if the Fediverse proves to a superior model.

Ernest, the main developer of Kbin, has given an explanation of what has happened: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/544021/So-what-s-the-status-on-the-update-edit-ernest-responded#entry-comment-3006120

There are Republicans in government too. They will always sell out to corporations over public interest.

The numbers are bullshit. All money spent on NASA goes back to the economy. And it’s all public domain technology. Fascists would love to replace that will privately controlled technology.

It just needs to be a Steam Deck w/nVidia hardware instead.

Fuck SpaceX propaganda.

Just so we’re clear, BG3 has only one language that is voiced: English. Every other language is in subtitles.

When was the last time you shopped for an SSD? Cheapest 1TB NVMe are around $35.

Starfield heavily leans on procedural generation. It would be many times bigger if it didn’t. BG3 has something like 170 hours of recorded dialogue. Cutting down means getting of features.

So no, there is no room for optimization here. These games are just going to be that big, period. People just need to accept that they will have to get giant SSDs in the future.

Game is apparently a flop. Only 750 peak concurrent players on steam.

They compromised their higher end system with their lower end system. It’s time to admit they made a mistake here, and they are only now starting to fix it.

We’ve already established that the $300 box is not viable for much longer. And since it sold around 1/3 the numbers of the PS5, it didn’t even work as advertised.

Then why even bother with a console? Just define the minimally specced PC box needed for Game Pass and call it a day.

Game Pass includes PC gamers. It’s probably not that profitable either.
