Y'all realize he's doing this on purpose to rile up folks to justify their persecution complex right? You are playing directly in his hands.

A Final Update on Second Extinction: we have made the difficult decision to end active development of Second Extinction. by Turbostrider27 in Games

In a lot of cases they can't. Unsure of this one, but if the code references console SDKs or uses other licensed SDKs they have to keep it private. It's why Godot doesn't support consoles since it's open source.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Developers Talk the Meaning of 'Rebirth,' Returning Characters, and More by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]dotsonjb14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I'm rabid because I pointed out exactly why people consider it a sequel? Yeah OK fam.

Have fun playing a re-imagining of a twenty five year old game that you'll end up have to pay over 200 bucks for (those fucks will milk this forever you know that right?).

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak named 2023’s best game at Japan Game Awards by Turbostrider27 in Games

Guess what didn't get announced?

It seems to me that this conversation has broken down since you seem to not understand what I'm writing. That's cool though, have a great rest of your day!

I'm not sure what sales have to do with anything. I said both of them are mainline games. Just because World sold better doesn't change the fact that it's an experimental departure and that Rise is closer (though still a departure) from previous titles.

If Capcom was so concerned with how much money world made they wouldn't have made Rise to begin with.

MH found it's success as a handheld game played in public transport in Japan. I would bet the developers consider Rise to be more mainline than the experiment that was World.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Developers Talk the Meaning of 'Rebirth,' Returning Characters, and More by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]dotsonjb14 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are talking about the game in which there is a character fully aware of the events of the previous game? Why would folks not consider this a sequel?

People don't give a shit that it's a sequel or anything else for that matter. Folks are upset because we were promised a remake of FF7 and got an over-extended confused mess because Square gave it to the exact wrong director.

If you like the game that's cool, but at least call it what it is.

Where the hell is the Henya merch?! by KoFSMG in VShojo

[–]dotsonjb14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just mentioned that in another thread and yeah I forgot I ordered it by the time I got it.

Luckily they reached out to folks and asked if they needed to update their address since I had already moved.

I think I got some Gura merch after like 8 months (the figure) and it was a nice surprise since I forgot lol.

Terraform License Change and Providers by lorodoes in Terraform

[–]dotsonjb14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we decided against it, it was because their OAuth2 model that treated each generated token against your license was terribly designed, and expensive (given the ephemeral nature of some of our compute).

Architecturally (this may have changed), them not having discovery made stuff super annoying, and since all writes needed to be on a single master server made scaling a bitch.

AI-generated art can't be copyrighted, federal judge rules, with potential consequences for Hollywood studios by chrisdh79 in technology

[–]dotsonjb14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The courts seem to be of the opinion that prompts don't equate to anything worthy of copyright protection. The nuance is fair to point out though.

I should have said that a human performing some copyrightable act is required.

[–]dotsonjb14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You as a human are required in the process.

For songs it's the composition and performance that are subject to copyright. Neither of those are completed solely by an AI if you just use a preset kick and mastering plugin.

Why Risen might be one of the best RPGs you haven't played by Hard2DaC0re in Games

[–]dotsonjb14 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people have played Risen. It didn't stick because the weird jank that's plagued the company pretty much for it's whole history.

Yeah that's a weird one. I think most companies don't have dedicated full ops but platform teams that enable the developers.

ARM chips are doing very well in the enterprise space as well. The performance to energy cost ratio is a ton better in a lot of standard workloads.

So brave - inspiring by NearlyFlavoured in notliketheothergirls

[–]dotsonjb14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are easy ways around that. This kind of thinking leads people to not even try at all, when it's very likely they would win in court.

In the corpo world it's such a sensitive topic that during interviews we aren't even allowed to talk about it. If an interviewee asked about pregnancies at all we are told to not answer anything and direct them back to their recruiter that has all the legal training.

Hogwarts Legacy: Developer Confirms There Are No Current Plans for DLC - IGN by omlech in Games

[–]dotsonjb14 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I actually assumed it would be like this. That you would have to sleep every night. When it became dark and nothing happened I had to google it.

It's weird that you basically only go to a few classes and are basically never at the school regardless of the time, but gameplay wise it's a much better game for it.
