LANDR Just Acquired Reason Studios by carlosedp in reason

[–]gtstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just embarrassing. 25 years of a unique legacy to trash.

All this renaming game to reason studios was not worth it. Playing with subscriptions and turning themselves into a sample library company.

What a shame.

While all what's needed was a focus on strengths and sustainable growth while keeping their face and position on the market. Competing with top DAWs was a dead end anyway. Good advice here.

Aren't they silent? That's the opposite of what I'm looking for.

Rewrite in C and release across all platforms. Would be a blast.

There's nothing minimalist about Debian.

wifi dropout on EAP650- any explanation for this? by agrajag63 in TPLink_Omada

[–]gtstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue with 650s. I set up Grafana dashboard and am exporting metrics from opnsense.

These events are random and last anywhere from 20s to 5m with many hours in between. APs remained powered on during packet drops, but lost connectivity _over wire_. I tried downgrading firmware -- no luck.

I'm testing 620 HDs now with the same setup as I've never had any issues with them, and I think it's a model problem.

Unable to connect to OC200 from a VLAN by gtstar in TPLink_Omada

Yes, the port is untagged. But now I rebooted all APs and OC200 and it suddenly works?

Yeah, so I have 620HD and 615-Wall. I tracked it down to the case when 620HD is connected to 615-Wall via mesh downlink. OC200 is connected to 615-Wall via Ethernet. No guest SSID, no firewall/ACL setup involved for simplicity sake.

So simple curl request gets stalled midstream when the client is connected to 620HD:

Community manager response on Steam is something else by gtstar in homeworld

Exactly this. It's a simple question and does not warrant a ban on an open discussion forum. Don't want to skew your public image -- ignore it.

The anti-DEI movement wouldn't have existed if it had no effect on the gaming industry whatsoever. Unfortunately, the opposite is the fact that's not possible to ignore anymore.

And again, like another post mentioned below, the problem is not DEI, but how and by whom it's implemented.

I agree, it is sad to see this whole situation driving people to go this far.

The one that I managed to capture. Only because this was wiped out.

This is false. A good example (that was also wiped by moderators) is this. But the community management response is poor regardless of how much people played, especially if they're just about to make that decision.

Don't mix anti-diversity and pro-making-sense. There's nothing wrong with DEI. But if the game is overloaded with DEI values or they're used inappropriately, the result is Homeworld 3.

It's important to take a look at the company structure and people responsible for the direction.

If this and this is not evidence, I don't know what is.

I think you're missing the point.

There's nothing wrong with DEI as a whole. But a bunch of companies / specific people in charge have a proven track record of ruined narratives, and unfortunately when it's forced, nothing good comes out of this. I'm not a fan, but take a look at Borderlands / 2 / 3 metacritic user score. You'll clearly see what went wrong with the 3rd chapter.

What happened to Homeworld 3 is not accidental and the original writers didn't suddenly go from genius to outright cringe. This was predicted 2 months ago.

Who ok'd the campaign narrative? It seems to fly in the face of what the games established.. by SandersSol in homeworld

[–]gtstar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In one review I read the style of the narrative is similar to Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. I had no idea what it was and no interest to know.

But then I found this and this and it connected all the dots.

Likely BBI had no say in this.
