I’m very new to open source but I’d love to get involved but is there a discord or something to get up to speed?

I mean blocking specific countries is stupid anyway. Historically China has been playing games with the EU and the US on a geopolitical level. But: Chinese, European as well as American researchers have been at the core of research on current topics like AI, security, etc. Btw. ironically the scientific landscape is very collaborative and borders on a federated model, it’s actually pretty neat how much researchers don’t care about country of origin.

What I’m saying is introducing geopolitics into open source development or research is one of the most stupid things to do, because it punishes both your and the other country and only benefits uninvolved third parties. It’s literally shooting yourself in the foot.

It’s quite something to understand how specifically petty he is though.

What an absolute bitch filing slapp suits.

This game is beautiful.

I remember when I played it the first time, I sat on the ship, fishing, and I realized how the water changes colors with the weather, and it was the prettiest game I’ve seen, and I was just in awe. I never had that with any other game.

If the gameplay was a bit more complex, I would’ve spent years in this game I’m sure.

Iirc there was an obligation on steam to disclose AI use as well as the extent. Might be wrong though.

Yes, been using that to track my bank accounts and stuff and it’s really helpful, although I had some trouble understanding how to use it since I’m a layperson xd

Not envious of that serial killer having to decide between Assembly and Haskell

As a student, that’s a lot of equipment

Also there was no story and gameplay wasn’t as linear in the old version.

I loved the gameplay loop of exploringanother planet, and then coming back to your home planet and to build, craft and decorate.

That’s gotta be peak full disclosure communication lol

Have fun playing :D

Warframe. Inching closer to 3.000h currently.

It does come in waves, but every once in a while I go all in again and lose myself in the infinite things you can do.

Lovely game tbh, can recommend if you just wanna have something to do for a while without thinking too much.

Ok well fuck that CeO with a rusty spoon then.

Sounds about right.

The publisher has been pressing hard on paid stuff in payday 2 and payday 3 didn’t have enough content / solid enough gameplay to replace it. Also there’s denuvo, and denuvo is not giving a great first impression.

Yeah I had to realize that as well at some point.

Used to play games and I was so focused on gameplay, I always thought “why even have a lot of art in there”. But then you realize if the art sucks, you wouldn’t even be giving it a chance.

And this extends to skins and stuff. If it’s “just cosmetics”, that still means there is some art that is now hidden unless you throw money at your screen. And depending on how much it is, the game might be way too boring without it. So you’re still buying bits of a game after the fact. And voila, we’re back to the reasons why DLCs suck.

I mean you are right to some degree, but considering there’s way worse stuff to get riled up about, I think we mostly have our priorities straight, and I have no issues with that.

Played it on PC and it’s really cool, although I was hesitant at first considering it looks a bit like those cookie cutter role based rpgs that just want to rent a spot in your wallet.

Yeah honestly this makes a lot of sense to me.
