Does a movie need to do anything else other than be entertaining?

I doubt the idea was to actually change anyone’s mind.

His latest game looks like yet another version of Bioshock, so that’s kind of a funny thing to say.

Why? Sounds to me pretty good that people won’t actually lose their jobs over numbers on corporate spreadsheets.

I mean… when did it stop being huge?

It’s just back to business as usual.

Holy shit, this company is based in France and they’re publicly doxxing their users in the replies.

I don’t even know what to say, under GDPR they’re extra fucked now.

I never really compared the source to the converted mobi, but overall I can’t really complain.
Usually if the formatting is a little screwed up I assume it’s the source’s fault. :)

Almost every book I read nowadays is an epub converted to mobi.

Honestly, the bigger issue I have is the inability to put the sideloaded books into a series “folder”.
Instead I had to set Calibre to add " " string to the book tile in the metadata. :/

Pretty well written post.

On Kindle and epub: it’s pretty annoying, but once you set up Calibre to automatically convert on sending to device, it’s effortless.

I guess it stuck as “this one kind halfway between mid and high end” card .

I think it’s Golden Rabbit Edition, which used to mean this was a variant dedicated for the Chinese market.

XVI != XIV :)

It’s not even about the lower specs, it’s the optimization in general.

My PC is a little old, but still fine for most games up to medium settings.
But when I tried FF XVI, which is mentioned in the article, I couldn’t get anything close to acceptable performance with everything turned as low as possible and looking like shit.

Sure you can. wink wink 🏴‍☠️

I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn’t really a market for used games.

Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.

It’s not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you’re likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The “own your games” ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.

Well, “not to be confused”, but the same page says AAVE is just a dialect of AAE, so mostly not much of a difference, I think.

For anyone that, like me, was confused what the hell is this language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_English

Seems to be proper name for the kind of language a stereotypical black character in a movie would use.
Can’t say about real world, since I don’t live in the USA.

Right, that’s why I’m not convinced this will ever actually release.

Abandoning all previous work, and the fact that new devs don’t exactly have experience with this genre…
I’m still gonna give it a try, but I’m not hopeful.

I’m surprised it’s not cancelled yet.

I think at this point its development is even more troubled than the original, which is kinda impressive in its own way.

That’s not really on Valve though.

It’s the hardware makers that needs to step up and make sure their Linux drivers are well written.

I’m tired of having to install patched kernels to get basic functionality on laptops (looking at you Asus!).
