You are so spot on with Dead by Daylight. If the survivor chosen to get “rushed down” has a couple specific things in their build or their team can play around it, it becames a huge uphill battle for the killer to get anyone else, but in public games often the teams aren’t coordinated enough, or the survivor chosen isn’t skilled enough to stall it out

Shaders are typically code run on the GPU to make your game look good. They power lighting and various effects used in rendering the game. Virtually everything uses shaders, and precompiling them can save a lot of resources over having to compute them on the fly, but comes with associated hassles.

Homie, you can’t always tell if it will be always online before you buy it. Game companies are notorious for hiding things like that and microtransactions in the pre-release versions, so many people who buy those games don’t know they are always online, or believe that they are confirmed to not be. Nevermind the ones that go back and change old games to add in shitty proprietary launchers a few years after release.

Closed source software has the exact same bullying issue, the difference is instead of the bullies being random people on the internet, they are managers with power over you. They are at least as likely to make you do something dangerous as the randoms, but they don’t have to try as hard to hide it.

I wouldn’t dismiss this just yet. Mozilla has already been doing some open source AI work, specifically their speech offerings. If they invest in these and they get better I think we all stand to gain from having good text to speech and speech recognition available outside of Apple/Amazon/Microsoft/Google

I had a bit of an inverse experience between the two. My gut reaction to Wyll was good, but his story made me dislike him, but Gale I disliked off the bat but came to appreciate after a bit of dialogue.

I’ve done a little work on this professionally, and while I can’t discuss our solution, here are some links that I turned up doing research that might be what you’re looking for.

Its pretty apt because while you can technically use it to do a variety of things its almost always outclassed in any particular use
