I think, even without a source, that’s it’s pretty much a given that each generation of cards is going to be about the same price as the last, possibly adding in some more for inflation.
Also, the xx80s and xx90s were always for gamers with insane expectations. The xx60s and xx70s are much more reasonable and are still amazing. Anyone complaining about the prices of the top end cards should just re-evaluate what they need instead of grumbling about prices.
Companies won’t hire someone that’s overqualified because the employee is very, very likely to leave again soon. It costs the company a ton of money and headache for very little benefit.
I thought Jekyll just compiled the input files to html/css/js and created a static site?
Hugo, too? I hear Hugo is easier.
I haven’t used either of them.
To add to that last point, I worked for a company (at retail) that claimed to know that keeping customers was cheaper than getting new ones, and corporate even implemented a policy where the clerks on the floor had up to $100 to keep a customer happy. I never once saw that $100 used, and the one time I tried to keep a customer (who had just spent $3000) happy, management refused to let him return a crap $100 printer because he didn’t have the manual in the box. He had left it at home, and was glad to bring it in next time he was in. Nope. And that incident was within a week of implementing that system.
So even when a company understands that point, it’s still really hard to make good on it at the levels that it can matter.
Well, I’ll give it a shot.
Part of it is that they can’t know the point that someone is willing to stay vs leave, and they’re always optimizing for that point. Saving money is always the goal for expenses in a company.
Part of it is that they have a budget that they can’t exceed. Sometimes a person is overqualified for the job, and the job simply can’t afford them. Sometimes that person will stay far longer than they should, when they could get paid much better elsewhere, and sometimes they choose to move when they’re only slightly underpaid for their skills.
Part of it is that there is more to a job than money. Being comfortable, un-stressed, and generally happy is more important at some point than more money. The company tries to balance these things, as it’s often cheaper to relieve or prevent stress than pay someone to put up with it.
In the end, it’s super complicated, but all about money, on both sides.
Props for using G1 characters, but…
That movement looks like some novice opened up UE4 or Unity and just threw the models in without adjusting anything… And it might even be worse than the default character controller.
I think it’s mainly trolls that post “dead game” on games that are essentially (or wholly) single player. If you’ve got a live service game that people are saying “dead game”, then you should worry. Otherwise, ignore the trolls.
I have the game and a real powerwasher. The game is a lot more enjoyable, though less productive.
Despite it being in the FAQ, all it actually says is that they try to cause as little performance loss as they could. No idea how much that is, or if people will turn it off to get a few frames back.
It does say that without a GPU the performance is considerable.
It gives out free Steam items that you can sell to other suckers. Sometimes it gives a valuable one. It isn’t a game, it’s a money-maker.
A torrent link won’t either? In either situation, the site needs to seed their own data, at a minimum.
And “100 developers working on it” doesn’t mean much when they’re unpaid and there’s no lower limit on how much they have to actually contribute.
That was highly specific language. There was no miscommunication. They were inappropriate. They were not misleading. They said exactly what they meant.
Also, "All terms will go live only when both parties have discussed and have agreed.” ? Hah. The vast majority agreed last time! It was only a vocal few who didn’t agree, and there will always be some who don’t agree. That’s such a nothing statement that I can’t even believe they said it.
Play and completed it on PC GP. It was short, but fun. I only ran into 1 game-stopping physics/control glitch. Quitting and loading again fixed it.
What I’ve heard from gamedevs is that Linux games are their lowest sales and their highest bug reports. Some of that may be from working on a system they aren’t used to, but it just reinforces the idea that they aren’t going to make money there yet.
Is it a “review bomb” for complaining about a legit problem with the game that stops you from playing?
I agree! Which is partly why so many people were surprised and excited that Bethesda took this challenge on. They failed at it.
Because someone in the gamedev community once posted about using achievements to measure engagement with users, it caught on, and now there are actual achievements mixed in with standard progress, including just launching the game, apparently.
I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. They clearly skimped on the content for all those planets and handwaved it away as perfectly normal and expected, when it clearly wasn’t good. Why? To add breadth without adding time to the development. To “increase their output” without adding more input.
It clearly didn’t work there, but it could have worked with some decent mechanics and a little more thought into the content. It worked for No Man’s Sky.
Luckily for Bethesda, AI has suddenly gotten a lot better, and they’ll be able to use it to generate a ton of content that feels better than standard old procedurally generated content. That is, of course, if they can manage to work it into their tooling for their ancient engine.
Nobody should ever be banned without knowing exactly what they were banned for. Either he’s lying (I doubt it) or they didn’t bother telling him, just gave him a perma ban without notice.
That’s pretty shitty. They deserve the shit storm this will kick up.
