This is a good way to think about it, because the three door version makes it almost seem like the host is guessing. But if you pick door #8 and the host eliminates every door except #8 and, for some reason, #682,025, are you more confident in 8 or 682,025?

Thanks for doing an AMA on Lemmy! If you could play any race in the Star Trek universe which would you pick and why?

Eh. I just jumped back into a project and felt kinda like a fish getting back into water.

Ubisoft cancelling the literal one game I might have bought from them. OK.

I think Anthem probably created a lot of peoples “NEVER” lists. I don’t think I’ve preordered, played a live service game or a BioWare game at least since anthem.

wouldn’t it be easier to deny burritos are food, block everyone who disagrees with you, change your name to “BurritosDontExist” and make this an intrinsic part of your personality than to admit you… forgot about something on the internet?

when you can’t be a license plate in illinois try becoming a brand on Amazon

Bcachefs -> B Cache FS ❌

Bcachefs -> BCA Chefs ✅

it’s like a mirrored intelligence test. How long will it take to figure this out? People worried about ChatGPT writing everybody’s work but you can identify the milquetoast sameness in AI summaries and writing from a mile away. Their AI art is distractingly bad. Their apps don’t work beyond some exceptionally narrow core use case and isn’t sustainable. It’s been literally years and these things have never not been true.

who doesnt understand what that entails

lessee, there was a time before I existed, so that was non-existence, yeah? Seems pretty straightforward. In a universe where everything dies, even the stars, it’s pretty… something… to have the level of certitude you do.

I remember waiting like 10 minutes with a loading window for Monster Hunter Rise to compile shaders at one point a while back and I had no idea what that meant then… (but yeah obviously most games do it more elegantly)

I only know this because I recently started doing some game development (as opposed to just being a gamer for 30 years); Shaders are little programs that run directly on your graphics card. They’re all over the place in games, doing stuff like making objects glow, morphing/transforming objects, and in 3D games, they’re also doing a lot of the work of lighting effects and details that you would want to see in order to actually see the game’s final product. When you start a game it will (either in the foreground or background) compile (build for your computer) all of the shaders designed in the game, but I guess this needs to happen on each computer. If they re-coded some of the shaders in the game to be more efficient/use fewer resources and ultimately make the game run faster, the ones in the previous release would need to be completely recompiled.

(I’m sure someone will be along to correct any inaccuracies in that.)

What I think is odd though is that game companies are throwing that around like anyone has any idea what they’re talking about though.

Jesus fucking christ we have the stupidest leadership possible. At least 20 years ago they weren’t inviting the Nigerian prince scammers to state dinners.

I’ve worked with so many people like this, they are afraid of code (I used to be afraid of code too)

Sigh. There are just too many things to play, do, worry or think about to fuck around with people who have already shown you who they are. I liked the original game, like 20 years ago, and I’ve liked hundreds or thousands of other things in between. What I’m trying to say is these people can go fuck themselves. I don’t care if it’s the publisher, it’s the whole crew they came in here with. Fuck off.

Adobe sucks balls as a company but, my man…

if only we could all be big brains like you tranes.

Honestly this is how my parents(‘ generation) got me into gaming, pre-NES, because I was playing their games on Atari and Intellivision. I don’t know if it was the NES’s marketing or what that made people associate video games = for kids, but they were all in their 20s at the time and they had a blast with that stuff. Actually now that I think about it my grandma was mean at Burger Time back in the day.

Democrats need to be platforming all of these victims who wish to come forward

I think it’s an issue of both rights and BioWare not having any of the good employees they used to have (see Anthem and everything else they’ve released since ME3)
