Not to mention that studios like Larian have proven that it’s entirely possible to make a blockbuster game without teams of 400 heads, changing direction and leadership every few years and laying off the people who made the product in the first place. They really seethed at that one, so many salty comments lol.
Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.
Not gamedev but other software, going through the exact same thing (new, external CEO). Guess the axeman cometh for us all eventually.
I did, but long ago. Problem is when you’re taking ssri’s/snri’s, especially in large doses, mushrooms lose their effect. Taking psylocibin on these meds doesn’t do anything, you don’t even get visuals anymore, only a mild euphoria at best.
I’ve been depressed for three decades and nothing I’ve tried so far has worked, but I’ll be stone cold dead before they put fucking chips in my brain. /oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg
Considering a 5080 retails for about €1400, this is gonna be €1800 and up innit?
Low ball, rookie numbers! I say we go for 90%, including the added costs of re-hiring previous staff or training new ones.
I remember the giant boss from the second level. That thing was positively humongous.
So less cheaters and griefers in online lobbies? Rare Putin W.
Not necessarily the users, per sé, but the corporations who refuse to learn from mistakes.
And the enshittification continues unabated.
Oh, I’m very aware. My own (EU!) company has ISO certifications that “guarantee” our customers that all their data is perfectly protected.
It is not. We, among other things, have plaintext user/password combos in scripting. Certain logs are certainly not being processed lawfully.
It’s also not so bad as to be terrible but it still irks me a lot that we’re essentially lying to our users.
No, the AI advised me to contact my direct superior and his superior, but mentioned their names.
I have never provided it with this information, so that means it has a lot more access to our information than is officially known. Technically we aren’t even supposed to input anything that could possibly be identifying, again for GDPR purposes, so I have no idea where Copilot got the information from.
I assume that MS lets companies tailor their instance of Copilot to a certain degree and maybe it was fed an organigram of the entire company, but AFAIK this is already not allowed under current legislation. Or maybe it is and I’m just a modern luddite.
Regardless, I’ll be even more careful about what I use Copilot for from this point forward.
Today I was “talking” to copilot asking about how to tackle a certain issue. The fucking thing replied with my manager and his manager’s NAMES telling me to reach out to them. Of course I was aware that Copilot’s primary function is not as an AI assistant but as a surveillance tool, but working in the EU, this still surprised me a lot.
That said, under the protections the EU affords me, I will absolutely continue to use Copilot for the most inane possible tasks. I know that they know, but they can’t act on it without breaking GDPR.
Your move, corporation.
Yeah it’s a Windows (11?) feature. AFAIK it’s only supported explicitly by a handful of games, but it does appear to make a major difference for those games if the hardware used is up to the task.
It might just be a feature in the same category as “Nvidia hairFX” or w/e as a marketing gimmick though.
I have no doubt that “bare metal” games’ performance is better under Linux but what about things like cpu scheduling for multicore or directstorage?
I low key assume this means the next strike will be using tactical nukes. This is bad news folks.
Thinking wikipedia or other unbiased sources will still be available in a decade or so is wishful thinking. Once the digital stranglehold kicks in, it’ll be mandatory sign-in with gov vetted identity provider and your sources will be limited to what that gov allows you to see. MMW.
These only exist to make the more advanced (and more expensive) models seem reasonable by comparison. It’s marketing, not product development.
