Indie Game Dev - Discussions, News and Promotions@lemmy.world•Steam has raked in an estimated $11.1 billion gross revenue so far this year, says market analyst—its 'biggest-ever six months'English
2·23 days agoWe all know that immediately selling out of your entire stock and still having a huge reservation list means your product has failed spectacularly. That’s just basic economics.

movies@piefed.social•'Minions & Monsters' Director Says Minions Never Worked For HitlerEnglish
18·1 month agoAlthough the first Minions movie had them hibernating in a cave from 1812 to 1968, the interviewer noted that Minions & Monsters establishes that there are multiple tribes of Minions.
“I was trying to avoid the answer,” said Coffin, noting he’s fully aware of the online theories.
“So the Minions that we know from Minions 1 were stuck in the cave,” he added. “These ones, I don’t know where they were, but they were not part of the Big History.”
Not so clearly, after reading the article.

14·1 month agoNot a programmer, but I think this is referring to electron, or things like it.
The framework is designed to create desktop applications using web technologies (mainly HTML, CSS and JavaScript, although other technologies such as front-end frameworks and WebAssembly are possible) that are rendered using a version of the Chromium browser engine

they have it set up so it will use tools like Me:
What an unfortunate formatting error you’ve made. Add an extra line break after your quote blocks to separate them.

movies@piefed.social•First Poster for Disney/Pixar's "Gatto"English
5·2 months agoIt just feels super desperate to me for them to say that.
But the poster doesn’t say only in theaters. The poster just says “in theaters” unless we’re seeing different posters somehow.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gabe Newell on Steam monopoly accusations: Gamers have 'enormous choice' about where to buy gamesEnglish
3·2 months agoWhat they don’t have is the store part - you can’t actually BUY games from those tools.
Heroic does let you buy games through the app, but it seems like it’s just a browser that gives heroic an affiliate link when you make the purchase.

2·3 months agoThe obvious one in 2e is shield block, where you use your shield to block damage.

I also see items to prevent fall damage, persistent damage, damage from swarms, and physical damage. I don’t think any of these transfer the damage to the item, though.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•New research shows weight loss is possible without GLP-1English
14·3 months agoDiMarchi and Tschöp’s pioneering work on the study of GLP-1 hormones contributed to the foundation for popular weight-management drugs sold under name brands like Zepbound and Wegovy. They discovered that the weight-loss effects from therapeutics containing the GLP-1 hormone activity could be enhanced by including two other hormone activities: glucagon and GIP.
Not this time, right now we’re talking about other drugs that can be used for weight loss.

movies@piefed.social•Steven Spielberg Warns Hollywood Must Invest in Original Stories or Movies Will ‘Run Out of Gas,’ Debuts Eerie New ‘Disclosure Day’ Trailer at CinemaConEnglish
12·4 months agoAlthough Spielberg recognized that his films were a significant part of the 1980s popular culture cited in the book, he opted to remove many references to them to avoid accusations of vanity.[75] Cline believed Spielberg wanted to avoid self-references to films he directed, due to the criticism he received for his film 1941, which lampooned his own previous works Jaws and Duel. Cline said he had to convince Spielberg to include some iconic elements, such as the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future, which Spielberg conceded as he only produced the film.[76] Spielberg also allowed the Tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park to be included.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Player_One_(film)#Cultural_references
For your last paragraph. What references to old Spielberg movies do you think you remember in Ready Player One?

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Fox News doc says not enough ’15 to 19′ year-olds are having kids: ‘The fertility is down’English
7·4 months agoAbsolutely, we still have 3.6 million births per year, but the problem is teens and young adults. From the ages 15-19 the fertility rate is down 7% and it’s down 70% over the last two decades, meaning we’re telling people that are young not to have babies, to wait until they’re in a more stable life situation till they’re more financially secure, maybe they haven’t found the right partner.
To your point, by the way, you said before we came on the air something really really important: which is we also have the technology to say “okay wait, you’re still going to have a healthy child, you’re still going to be fine because we can support pregnancies much better than we ever have before.”
Of course I want to add to that some downsides: there’s a higher obesity rate that interferes with fertility, there’s a risk of poly cystic ovary and endometriosis, there are more overall medical problems and diets are worse and then we’re talking about all the chemicals in the environment, ultra-processed foods; you might want to have a kid, but maybe as you get older you might not be able to.
My wife by the way, when she was 36 years old was going to have our second kid and I said to her obstetrician “She must be your oldest patient,” he said “She’s my youngest patient.”
Dana, people are having kids in their 30s now, not their 20s. And again, that’s leading to one thing I want to point out: the replacement rate is down to 1.56. Meaning every couple is having on average 1.56 children in the United States. We need 2 or above to keep the population at the same amount.
Maybe you watched a different interview than the one linked, he sounds like he belongs on Fox.

pathfinder@ttrpg.network•New Bundles at Humble Bundle and Fanatical
1·6 months agoThe free RPG day adventures should be available somewhere. I was able to find A Few Flowers More (https://downloads.paizo.com/PZO9500-24E_AFewFlowersMore.pdf), but I think the rest are most easily available on demiplane (https://app.demiplane.com/nexus/pathfinder2e/sources#pathfinder2e-standalone-adventures) after you create an account.
Also important to note, it seems that everything in the humble bundle is tied to hero lab, and most of the individual items you get are the player character options from those books. I don’t actually know how hero lab works, but I’m pretty sure it’s mostly a character creator/manager and you won’t be getting the actual adventures you see there.

It wasn’t that long ago we learned that the Mullvad cofounder was using his money to fund a far right party trying to kick out all immigrants. We can absolutely still learn new things about people, even if there are a lot of Nazis running around out in the open.
