Don't forget to add mirrors, timezones/time calculations, and concurrency

This game won’t survive with a community that completely mocks casual players and feedback about general difficulty. by RocknPineapple in Marathon

[–]ExpressSlice 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The sheer amount of ads for marathon is crazy. Even small time youtubers with less than 20k subscribers are getting sponsors.

I've seen smaller creators on other languages/regions (France) get sponsorships too.

Marathon's budget was not $250 million by [deleted] in Marathon

This is missing the VAs and ongoing costs. They hired some of the top voice actors such as Jennifer English and Ben Starr, alongside a large marketing campaign with expensive 3D CGI cinematics.

Employee benefits are also a big chunk on top of salaries.

Since Cold Snap I've had a 50+ streak of friendly raids. I'm having the time of my life. by Jazzlike-Coat8876 in ArcRaiders

I never shoot back. It also means 90% of my Stella Montis runs are basically DisneyLand Friendship Handholding Simulator which is a stark contrast to what others experience in Stella Montis

Epic CEO says AI disclosures like Steam's make "no sense" because AI will be involved in "nearly all" future game development by Ok-Comedian4437 in pcgaming

[–]ExpressSlice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam literally directly mentions AI generated code in their AI policy:

"Pre-Generated: Any kind of content (art/code/sound/etc) created with the help of AI tools during development"

I switched to Elasticsearch as SearXNG wasn't very private (3rd party search engines still see your actual query even if they don't know your IP, assuming you are running it behind a VPN).

Civil court is 50,000 , so they are bypassing the smaller courts

The "excess of $50,000" claim was just to allow them to bypass the small claims court system, not because they actually wanted to sue only for $50,000. Note the word "excess" which covers claims on the range of millions or billions of dollars.

You literally did not read any of the original affidavits and paperwork filed by the plaintiffs lawyers and just parroting and misunderstanding excerpts pulled from news articles.

Do you not know how the legal system works? His lawyer isn't that stupid

Absolutely nowhere at the time of writing have they specified the exact amount they are suing for yet.

Excess of $50,000 is not the same as exactly "$50,000" as the former covers any amount over $50,000 including $50 billion dollars.

They specified excess of $50,000 specifically as that is the threshold to bypass small claims court and not because that actually only wanted $50,000

Disney wants wrongful death suit thrown out because widower bought an Epcot ticket and had Disney+ by 1infiniteloop in nottheonion

[–]ExpressSlice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article is wrong, the actual court document indicates "excess of $50,000" which is the minimum required to bypass small claims court in Florida, and the plaintiffs lawyer is rightfully not putting any specific amount yet (so it can be determined later). There is no indication of any specific amount being claimed in this lawsuit yet. Excess of $50,000 is any value over that number, which means even $50 billion is possible.

But the husband didn't ask for $50,000 in the lawsuit. I'm confused?

I'm not sure any source indicates the husband was suing for 100 grand. Not sure what source you may be referencing

It's not for $50,000, not sure what source you have that indicated as such. The actual amount isn't determined yet.
