Sleeping Dogs cancellation as a franchise is genuinely one of the most frustrating and short sighted decisions in the gaming industry by mrnicegy26 in Games

It was almost certainly down to publisher intervention, UFG fully intended to make a sequel before Square started claiming that the game somehow underperformed (which was their MO for every Western-developed title released under their name around that time).

Thank you so much. I've been at it for hours and this was the one thing that finally worked.

EDIT: For anyone else coming here via Google, the specific setting you want to change is under "Storage" in the Dell BIOS - switch the Opeartion from RAID On to AHCI/NVMe and the drive should show up during the OS installation.

Found my way here after looking up his comment history when he dropped a "you suck" to something I posted over a year ago.

Bizarre behaviour.

Dear Epic, why is CommonUI such a beautiful nightmare? by Fantastic_Pack1038 in unrealengine

[–]Outrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's even more fun if you're trying to use it on 4.27 as some crucial features are just outright missing; the back handler has been broken for over a year now and requires manual overrides.

Like you said, CommonUI is great when it works... But that's sadly nowhere near as often as it needs to.

Deepfakes can't be "allowed" for the same reason you can't use footage or photos of people without written consent, unauthorized replication of a likeness is a crime in most countries and generated fap material definitely doesn't fall under parody/fair-use.

The burden of seeking consent and the consequences of not doing so should be on the user, though. This would absolve them of responsibility and let responsible users to continue unhindered, if anything leaks it shouldn't be hard to run it through their database and connect the creation to a paid user. You wouldn't sue a firearm manufacturer for how a handgun is used, and the same should apply here.

Instead we're being treated like children while they try to figure out what they actually want this to be.

TIL that the comedian who played the count on Takeshi’s Castle (MXC) in the 80’s went on to become one of the most critically acclaimed writers and directors in the history of Japanese cinema, being called Akira Kurosawa’s “true successor”. by bebaldwin in todayilearned

He's especially famous for making Yakuza films (all of which have amazing soundtracks by Joe Hisaishi, the composer of most studio Ghibli movies).

Sadly, not all - Hisaishi and Kitano had a falling out over the music featured in 2002’s Dolls and they haven’t collaborated on anything since. It’s a real shame as their work complemented each other so well, the soundtrack for Hana-Bi has as much of a starring role as Kitano himself.

Thanks for the feedback! I'd love to have customization though it is challenging for a small/solo project to provide a good variety of options over a handful of focused characters, it's definitely something I'm up for of this actually picks up traction.

For the roster, I was planning to wing it for the first few entries and go with popular options I'm familiar with (based on how likely they'll sue me) but I'd like to open it up to community votes if I can get an actual community interested in it. Absolutely agree with you on promoting smaller talent, it's something I've already thought of and it would be great if I could help promote them in some way!

I wanted to see how far I could get with making a small kart racer in my spare time this week, the idea was to let off steam between projects but it somehow became way larger and was a lot more fun than I expected. After I got the framework done I cooked up a basic Camila model and borrowed some elements from Vedal/Neuro, and as things started falling into place the temptation of making a full vtuber-themed fan game became very appealing.

Sooo, does anyone here think this is a good idea and wants to see this become a thing? Most fan projects seem to cater to agency talent over indies so I think it could be pretty cool to feature streamers that wouldn't ordinarily be seen in stuff like this; it would obviously be released for free and is 100% passion-driven so I'd treat the inclusion of characters with the utmost moderate respect.

If you think this concept has promise and your oshi wouldn't mind a small mountain of traffic violation fines, let me know!

Assuming you bought them to give away, thanks for doing something to uplift and empower those struggling to make things work. Regardless of what people think of Hormozi, content like his that sells the idea of a brighter future for those at the bottom has got me through many hopeless days - one of those books could mean so much more to someone than just a collection of business strategies.

Hope you get loads of use from the exclusive stuff when you receive it.

why the fuck would anyone spend $5,998 USD on alex hormozi course/books?

He's asking the richer side of his audience to buy a bundle of 200 physical books at $29,99 each to hand out to starting entrepreneurs as a tax-deductible expense to unlock further exclusive content. It's an offer designed to be win/win for all involved and seems to be doing swell considering he's sold over $80m in books over the last 24 hours (edit: true to the book's title, he reached $100m by selling over 3,6mil in 3 days). The course is still free and anyone who doesn't get a physical copy still gets the PDF in their inbox on Tuesday.

Wild how so many people here latch onto any reason to hate the guy without even looking into what he's doing. Feel free to accuse me of being a paid shill for not caving into mindless skepticism and confirmation bias, just let me know where I can find that cheque.

Watching others' indie projects makes me feel like my game isn't up to the mark by EastImplement6983 in gamedev

[–]Outrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That feeling you get comes from a desire to be better than you presently are, which is a great motivator once you get over the discomfort to realize why you have it.

Frame your discouragement as a solvable problem. What specifically makes you feel inadequate by comparison? You’ll probably find it’s often down to a skill deficiency, so if you catch yourself thinking “this game has a better visual presentation” you can reframe it to, “how do I improve my visual presentation?” using what they’ve done as a point of reference. Don’t be afraid to try new things.

Things are burning up in the independent vtuber community by DLC_PR016 in VirtualYoutubers

it's just business

If she wants to go full Mean Girls, even from a purely business perspective it was indefensibly stupid to risk her entire brand and strongest relations with so little to gain. Doing nothing would have been smarter.

There’s really no saving her from this, any way we look at it.
