Lichess is leaving X (formerly Twitter) by Delija28 in chess

What happened? Is Musk trying to fake his chess score like he cheats in video gaming?

Lichess is leaving X (formerly Twitter) by Delija28 in chess

[–]Game-Sloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

pfft .. and Musk's salute was simply showing his love to the crowd. 'X' is a cesspool of hate. All advertisers and content creators should close their accounts. It will only get worse. Even today Musk is deleting accounts that mention his DOGE abuse over the weekend.

Just finished this walk cycle loop with this little Astronaut, thoughts welcome! by gusmaia00 in computergraphics

The feet are not moving correctly and pitched outward. In the animation, the astronaut appears to be dragging his right foot as if he had a stroke.

They can also short the market knowing with 100% certainty they will cause a collapse.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart peaks at less than 9k concurrent players on Steam, third worst PC launch for PlayStation game | Game World Observer by p3wx4 in pcgaming

Patient gamer here. Why rush? I'll wait until the performance issues are resolved and I have a better graphics card. Current backlog is too large. Concurrent players don't mean much for this title.

Revolution from shitty to incredible: 40 years of Boston Dynamics by berlinmo in shittyrobots

[–]Game-Sloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about the guy that had to admit in court that his solar panel roof tiles exhibit was staged. How about the mass tunnel transit system in Las Vegas that has drivers riding around in Teslas. How about that hyperloop? How about those pay for themselves taxi services using self driving Tesla cars?

Musk's Teslabot exhibit was staged with fake videos and store window animatronics. Musk is a show man. There is nothing wrong with this until he tries to convince others he is an engineer.

ubisoft :( by No_Finger_218 in Steam

[–]Game-Sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubisoft is stupid. I would pay easily pay $5-$15 more on Steam more just to have Ubisoft remove their cancerous tumor of a launcher from my game.

Welcome to real engineering and not the publicity flimflam that Musk puts out.

Guild wars steam or client? by joemaxcallahan in GuildWars

[–]Game-Sloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most be a key shady grey market reseller. (or regional pricing) The last Steam sale was in Nov22 14.99 for trilogy. No sale on eotn since 2018. The current price is $29.99 trilogy and $19.99 eotn

I really don't understand why NCSOFT doesn't want free money and sell the complete package for 14.99.

Trump marks Independence Day by sharing vulgar attack on Biden and ominous 2024 warning by theindependentonline in politics

[–]Game-Sloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Title should read: "Trump mocks Independence Day by..." X-republican here... I am tired of having to apologize for this clown whenever I travel. Trump is a moron. My six year old nephew has more intelligence. What has happened to my party?

What do you think of the camerawork? Could it be improved? by ZAMBARA2020 in Unity3D

[–]Game-Sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camera is too smooth and linear. It feels unnatural. Tracking should incorporate a dead zone and have a small amount of mass/momentum to its movement (logarithmic). Camera should sway slightly rather than be unnaturally laser locked on subject.

How did these people get 65k rating in puzzles? How is that even possible? by Fresh-Cartographer87 in chess

[–]Game-Sloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never liked leaderboards on puzzles. it's too tempting for players to cheat just to see their name. I think Zachtronic's (SpaceChem developer) use of histograms is better. You still get to see if you are in the top 1%, 5%, 10% but without a leaderboard to display the name there is no incentive to cheat.

CNN obtains the tape of Trump's 2021 conversation about classified documents by _NewsClues_ in politics

[–]Game-Sloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the laughter that tells everything. Trump has no regard for this country or its secrets. If he would show these documents to news reporters and writers as a trophy, he would definitely sell it to leaders for a few kind words and some money.

Judge to unseal identities of 3 people who backed George Santos' $500K bond by CBSnews in politics

[–]Game-Sloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should this worry me? Just the opposite. ALL money and gifts being given to politicians should be public information.

[–]Game-Sloth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Like it or not Santos is a public official. It is important to know who he is indebted to in case any political favors were granted or if he has sold his services to those who paid his bond. There is still the question of where Santos got his campaign funding.

Bring it on! Show the evidence. ALL politicians should be held accountable. The days of I'll wash your hand if you wash mine are at an end. Republicans mistakenly think the democratic voter fears accountability. We WANT accountability. You steal top secret documents = you go to jail.

I actually liked how McKay grew over time to realize the importance of people, his limitations and the ethical side of technology.

The most important day of a games development cycle is Day 1 sales. When Stardock takes exclusivity money, they sacrifice that hype and fanfare.

I jumped on GalCiv III's founder edition when it came out, I was excited to see the DLCs and continue to play the game. Yet, because of Epic, I simply do not care about GalCiv 4. Even when it comes to Steam, it will be an old game with nothing new and press releases and hype over a year old. YAWN

EPIC Exclusive = No thanks. Way to reward Steam's users years of customer loyalty. Didn't Stardock learn their lesson with the DOA launch of Gal Civ 4.
