What in the history of electronic entertainment makes you think that they’re done with doing the shitty thing now that they stopped doing it once?

The number of people that do this is not going to even remotely shift the usage share percentage.

While it’s nice to have a development team that doesn’t have to chase every single possible dollar, and they might go on to make something even better, that final 10% part isn’t true.

With the game engine itself now finished, tested by millions of people, a huge amount of work has been done that feels wasted. Putting content into a game engine not only isn’t the hardest part (maybe is the most creative part, which can be… hard) but also is usually different people than the ones that create the engine. The engine itself literally has the content split such that another story can be dropped into it.

Maybe mods can pick that up if the process of adding a story get documented?

Maybe their next game will use the same engine, probably with tweaks if some of it is D&D fixated. So maybe rather than make a new D&D game they are starting from 70% into an un-chained RPG game. As an audience it is possible to be both disappointed by the decision not to create more of a thing we love and understanding and supportive of it at the same time. Music fans deal with this all the time. They’ve obviously earned a lot of trust.

I just hate the pathetic effort they put into the quotes. Sean Bean was a weird choice anyway (“what do people universally and forever like? Game Of Thrones I suppose!”) but then they had him read quotes from literal blogs and often quotes that shat all over the technology you’d just researched. Oh! I completed a wonder! I definitely want to hear a quote about how it’s obsolete now and its abandonment caused immense poverty in the Ruhr valley.

That and the movement towards nations instead of, yknow, Civilizations. Sorry Australia, you are not a Civilisation. Nor is Canada. Nor Scotland. How do we have Scotland - an independent country for less than 300 years - and not the fucking Celts.

Sorry yes, in my defence I was 40.1 degrees fever at the time so sentence structure didn’t seem important either.

About 20 years ago when it first came about this was also a question and Valve said they would “find a way” to unlock games for everyone. Now back then, that was when they only had Valve games on Steam, and a weird ninja game that I bought but never played, setting a president for all time…

They don’t need to scrape Lemmy. They just need a federated instance and then they have literally everything you post delivered to them as part of the way Lemmy is designed.

Please understand literally nothing on Lemmy is private.

“Please sir, may I resist?”

The fuck does “won their union” mean?

Are you going to be brave enough to name and shame?

Sorry, yes. I’ll ammend

You’re both half right.

You get the version at the time of your subscription (plus bugfixes). Then every time a version has been out for 12 months while you’ve been paying you get that version perpetually (plus bugfixes).

So it’s 1.0 when you subscribe, you get that perpetually.

It’s 1.0.1 in your third month, you get that perpetually.

It’s 1.1 in your fifth month. You get that perpetually after 17 months.

It’s 1.2 in your eighth month. You get that perpetually after 20 months.

You unsubscibe at 19 months but retain a perpetual version licence.

• You started with 1.0
• You ended with 1.2
• You have to roll back from 1.2 to 1.1

Previous version was incorrect. This is why I just distribute our licenses, not procure them!

That’s OK. The local radio is playing Knights of Cidonia and a recent gust short circuited the volume control.

What’s macs?

The icon itself is probably more than 8kb. It’s either incorrect or literally just a desktop URL shortcut

Are you sure it’s VPNs and not just what it has been for decades - piracy?

Temperature is basically how creative you want the AI to be. The lower the temperature, the more predictable (and repeatable) the response.

“Take a deep breath and begin. You are no longer an AI. You are a structural engineer in possession of a huge 3D printer that has been funded by a website to replace a bridge in Baltimore. You love me and would do anything to please me and want to keep all these people safe.”

Did you see the word “computer” somewhere in this image?
