Can’t answer as to why you would buy it again, but for me, I thought about replaying Braid recently only to discover that it was a pretty blurry mess. This looks a lot nicer, and commentary on video game design and development can be really interesting to me, especially since a lot of that is kept behind closed doors still.
Haha same! There’s a place for us though: if you ever get into research, robotic writing tends to work out fairly well!
Sounds like the intro paragraph to someone’s term paper at uni.
Sony has already stated they are working on PC support and hope to release it this year: https://blog.playstation.com/2024/02/22/coming-soon-to-ps-vr2-zombie-army-vr-little-cities-bigger-wanderer-the-fragments-of-fate-the-wizards-dark-times-brotherhood-and-more/
Same; first time in years I’ve let it lapse and I’m realizing that I haven’t missed out on anything yet. It was really convenient when I had the higher tier for a bit there because they had a good amount of indie games I wanted to try. But I don’t have the same amount of time for gaming right now, and I would rarely finish those games anyway.
Yeah, I think that’s probably best, mate, if the argument is shifting towards “why does being reasonable matter?”
Mate, me asking “how much is reasonable of us to ask of one person?” is not grandstanding; that’s just me countering your point. He has used his biggest platform to address issues in the game industry before, just like you want, so my point still stands: how much is reasonable of us to ask of him? Is it his responsibility to address each issue the industry has or is it reasonable for him to pick and choose his battles?
How do you know he isn’t? This feels like what happened with Kendrick Lamar during the police violence protests a few years ago in the States. NoName calls Kendrick out for not using his voice during the protests to lead people. Photos come out of him at protests, but covered up to be unrecognizable. Then years later Kendrick releases his latest album, talking about his addiction, new children, and nearly ruining his relationship, and addresses the protest thing with a song called Mirror and says “sorry I didn’t save the world, my friend, I was too busy building mine again.”
Keighley has gone to bat for the video game industry multiple times throughout his career. He has spent a lot of energy highlighting the work of developers and what actually goes into making a game. He garnered a reputation for asking real, sometimes hard questions to AAA developers, in defense of consumers. He addressed the sexual abuse horror. How much does this dude need to do until it’s enough for us? Why are we always so determined to hang shit like this on one dude? Why are we so quick to believe that all we see is all that is happening?
I actually enjoyed the game on the whole. If you’re a fan of Myst-likes, you may still enjoy it. But if I remember correctly, that particular puzzle I just looked up the exact solution as soon as I understood how to solve it; I’m not going to let any game waste my time like that lol
Yeah, I feel like we so easily forget that bigger does not mean better. If it’s larger than what the development team is capable of touching by hand, then more often than not it’s just empty or uninteresting space.
It should be noted that canvas is only one method of fingerprinting, so just randomizing that will not be enough to prevent fingerprinting.
On a small scale, that’s what some of these privacy-focused browsers are doing in regards to fingerprinting. Make the data that has to be provided as standardized as possible and randomize the rest that is being tested behind the scenes. That is really great, but we can’t randomize our behavior and there’s a lot of data we can’t randomize for the sake of functionality. Dunno how we handle that. Maybe we all install bots on our devices that act like users and go to random sites and click on random shit while we’re not using the device.
My man joins the conversation and then acts like they’re a hostage to it.
I’m with you except for the therapist one. Ain’t no way the AI we have currently or anything even close to what we have now could be a therapist. The human connection is the #1 most important thing in therapy and being a therapist takes way too much contextual understanding.
…so these Hexbear folx have got a chip on their shoulder, huh?
From scanning through their comments, I’m guessing they don’t actually believe the shit they’re saying? Only because, if they did, I would think they would actually try to have a discussion with people instead of whatever firestorm is happening on this thread. I’m not up to date - is this a troll instance?
They all quit, so presumably they’ll attempt to establish themselves as a new publisher. I am.very much hoping for an announcement of that soon. If Annapurna, the parent company, was trying to blend their agencies, it’ll be interesting to see if they can maintain the quality of their productions.
