I remember playing it a bit back in 2001.
And yes, it’s still around.
There are even two versions that Jagex maintains, the main branch, and Old School Runescape, which is based around how the game was back in 2007-2009. (but with new stuff still added all the time)
Brother is the go to because their stuff is basic and functional.
All the other companies have “innovated” to the point where their shit is unusable for daily use.
Strokes, but also broken necks.
And some of these quacks do “adjustments” on children and infants.
Here’s someone using the term in 2011.

And I’m sure there are plenty of older examples.
But some others are here from 2015

All that from a simple google search.
I recently switched my laptop to Garuda, it’s an Arch based gaming distro. It seems to mostly work right out of the box, but I did have to tweak a few steam games to force them to use my dedicated graphics.
I guess I could go in and force steam itself to use the graphics card via env… But I only have a handful of large games at the moment. It’s just as easy to set the requirement per game right now.
It is, and there are still some games that are borked, but most are quite good.
This site is great for finding out what games work. https://www.protondb.com/
It depends on the game, but Steam proton is pretty good.
This site is incredibly helpful.
You mean how some of the rightwing literally believe that they are somehow part of a war with Satan?
That’s why this is a gray area.
He’s not bought any stock this year. He’s just been selling off his compensation stock.
He might just be an idiot who thought no one would complain or jump ship from using Unity.
It was a pre-scheduled sale.
They’re announced months in advance and can either trigger on a set date, or at a set stock price. It’s more complex than that, and can involve taxes and shit, but the sale itself was above board(ish).
They likely delayed the announcement of the fees to ensure a higher stock price for the sale, which starts getting into a gray area.
It was a scheduled sale. There’s a term for it, but it’s a fairly normal thing to have set up.
What it really sounds like is they looked to see that they had a scheduled sale, and then delayed the announcement of the new fees (and the planning of how they’d work) so that the sale price would be higher.
Or, another alternative here. They looked at the sale price, and thought “gee whiz this is low, how do I boost the stock price higher?” and since this idiot worked on microtransactions for EA, he thought that adding those to Unity made some sort of sense.
Mine was 19 years, but I was military and got sent overseas for a few years. When I came back, I hadn’t actually logged in for the entire time and my account had been reset.
Point Lookout was in a swamp on the coast of Maryland.
My dream is a fallout game set in New Orleans, but made by Obsidian.
Give them permission to have greenery in the game as you run around a massively overgrown swamp (there’s some lore from unpublished games about an over-abundance of GECK testing in the area,)
Helping people actually build new shit from the abundant trees. The people would be that fun mix Creole and Americana.
We could have new enemies, like snakes and gators and shit. Maybe assassin vines and man eating trees.
My dream enemy would be a splinter group of Caesar’s legion and remnants of the Enclave.
As for music, dig deep into New Orleans history. There’s more than enough to put together a kick-ass soundtrack.
Cloud Imperium is not a tiny company. I believe it has about 1000 employees at this point, which means that the 600m has mostly gone to keeping the company going.
Chis Roberts is burning the cash rather than pocketing it. He loves his feature creep, and which forces devs to redo work. They’ve thrown most of the game out and coded it from almost scratch twice?
Every single Chris Roberts project has been like this. Development hell with new shit being added and no deadline in sight.
Not a grift.
A grift implies that someone is making bank off of it.
No, Chris Roberts is instead burning money by having devs do work, then redo work to add in some last minute shit that he thought of, then repeat until the feature creep completely overtakes their lives. It’s the Chris Roberts way.
Work is being done on the game, but remember that treading water is also a lot of work.
What happened to Elite Dangerous? I used to play quite a bit before I had to move and ended up on horrible internet. I’ve finally got good internet but haven’t gotten back into it yet.
There was a study linked around somewhere in the last few days that said that political ideology was a greater factor in people’s religious choices than the inverse.
They aren’t laundering money. No. They’re basically just setting it on fire.
See, Chris Roberts is the king of feature creep. He keeps wanting to add in the new shiny while not paying attention to finishing the shit that’s already on the list.
They’ve also thrown out previous work to start over again more than once.
The one thing he was at the company to do, was make good games that make good money.
Covering for rapists and threatening to kill employees is bad enough, but I can see a world where that sort of shit is, not forgiven, but swept under the rug.
That world is one where the money flows. It’s not a good world, but it’s one that’s understandable.
But fucking with the games and making shit worse? In a sane world, the Board would take a look at the company and say, no. this guy has to go for all of the above reasons.
That sane world is one where mergers and acquisitions are heavily scrutinized, and Blizzard was not allowed to merge with Activision.
Actual competition in the space means that the CEO has to actually be halfway good at the job, and maybe not a complete psycho. We don’t live in a sane world.
