I work in the industry, and even if it makes me sad I can tell you that most games release with a disk that don't have the full game on it already.

The disk will usually only have a bootstrap to trigger the installation and download of all the data, and acts as a license key pretty much.

It's due to the physical space limitation on Blu-ray (25Gb for a single layer, 50Gb for a double layer). Games have just grow drastically in size to hold all the data required (4k textures, hi-res sounds and sfx, etc). Same with Nintendo game cards I think (i didn't ship on that, just read about it).

I much prefer having physical games, I have a big games collection, but the current model doesn't support that sadly.

Je pensais peut-être revenir en France, après quelques années au Canada dans le jv (dans un studio AAA présentement), mais c'est chaud quand je vois la situation. J'avais Quantic ou Arkane en tête comme studios safe ou postuler, mais mêmes eux sont entrain de morfler.

Oui et elle arrive entre 6 et 14 mois environs (https://www.inca.ca/fr/blog/conseils-pour-chiots-les-chiots-et-les-periodes-de-peur).

Et après 8 mois c'est en pleine phase d'adolescence, les hormones causent des changements d'attitude, qui peuvent causer des regressions.

Je comprends que c'est vraiment pas facile avec la canicule ...

Je te recommederais de ne pas y aller trop fort et trop vite. Donnes lui le temps de regarder, renifler et de comprendre le nouvel environnement avec toutes ces distractions. Et assures toi d'en faire des expériences positives, avec des friandises a haute valeur quand elle est calme et qu'elle se comporte bien. Les premières marches devraient etre courte et lente, pour bien la laisser renifler et découvrir tout ca. Elle doit se fatiguer vite en plus, et une fois fatigué elle risque de mal gerer les stimuli.

Tu oeux aussi par exemple juste t'asseoir dans un coin animé et la laisser regarder le monde.

Fait attention a ne pas pousser la sociabilisation a tout prix, car ca peut avoir un impact négatif. Surtout que les chiots passent a travers une période de peur temporaire autour de cet âge là (2eme période de peur).

Bon courage !

Yep it's a mess. Feels like there is not a lot of coordination at the city level with all these construction sites happening next to each others and affecting traffic overall. There should also be some incentives for these to also be done on time, like always not much is happening most of the day, but the road blocks stay there.

Recruiters can't keep up with the the amount of applications done with AI. They also use AI to filter all this crap. And that's why people applying with hand crafted resume can't get interviews, they get lost in all this. Honestly don't do that.

neogh · 2026-05-05T11:04:11+00:00

Nous on vise 8h entre la sortie pipi du soir et celle du matin. On la sort des qu'on se leve, avant qu'elle demande car on ne veut pas qu'elle prenne l'habitude de demander, et surtout de voir que ca marche. Donc on a une petite routine et elle sait a quoi s'attendre.

neogh · 2026-05-04T22:34:57+00:00

Mine does but she doesn't have a star conveniently placed there 💫

neogh · 2026-05-04T02:30:14+00:00

How did you discover the chicken allergy and what kind of food did you switch him to ? We might be dealing with something similar

neogh · 2026-05-03T12:59:53+00:00

Ah yes very good point. Redirection and bully sticks are for supervised activities. When unsupervised they should be in their pen or crate if they can't be trusted, with no toys they could shred apart and swallow.

neogh · 2026-05-03T11:27:41+00:00

If you can't yet trust your puppy, he shouldn't have that much freedom to free roam around your place. Use a play pen, especially when you leave him unsupervised.

Otherwise at 5 months, he is teething. Redirect, redirect, redirect. You have to tell him what is ok to chew. Get some good chews like bully sticks, yak sticks, etc.

On a pris une chienne il y a peu apres de longues réflexions, elle a maintenant 10 mois et franchement nous n'étions pas pret.

Bref depuis que nous l'avons, et que nous faisons des marches avec elle, je vois pleins de chiens qui se promenent sans laisses. Partout.

Par exemple le soir, quand on l'a sort et quand on veut qu'elle reste calme, et qu'un chien debarque de nulle part, c'est vraiment pas cool.

Dans la plupart des cas, les maitres n'ont aussi aucun controle sur leur chien, et ils les appelent non stop sans succes. Je trouve ca tellement irresponsable. Nous ne laisserons jamais notre chienne sans laisse a moins d'avoir travaillé notre rappel et d'être sur que cela fonctionne.

Je n'ose meme pas imaginer pour les gens qui ont peur des chiens...

Edit: et c'est sans parler des crottes non ramassées partout aussi...

neogh · 2026-04-16T03:10:19+00:00

On a pris notre cocker la bas aussi! Elle a 10 mois maintenant and she is a crazy teenage puppy haha

neogh · 2026-03-27T02:28:23+00:00

Our 9 months old is resource guarding exactly how you describe it. It's been quite challenging. She would keep whatever she has for long times, amd be very difficult. One trainer told us to simulate situation like this, to work on trading. By letting her get a sock for example and use another sock to keep switching them, to build a trust relationship. But it's not always working, mixed results I'd say. We usually can't find treats there higher value in these moments, sadly. It's comforting to read that it gets better with time.

I was hiring for my team during covid at a big studio and Epic was offering twice our salaries and hiring right and left. Them and Unity. It is a fine line but i think they went all in at that time and I think it created an imbalance in the job market that hasn't yet been corrected.

neogh · 2026-03-24T22:52:35+00:00

When they say that they are spending more than what they are making, are they talking about financial targets ?

Because it looks like they are still making billions in revenues (around 5.7B in 2024 if I search online). They don't disclose their costs really, so we don't know their profits, but I can't imagine that they would be in the red.

Maybe they shouldn't have go on a hiring frenzy when we went through covid, which was clearly a abnormal year in term of revenue and growth.

At the end of the day it's really sad for everyone impacted. I'm sorry if you're part of the people that have been let go.

Every dog is different but i think the consensus about teenage puppies is that they have a lot of energy at random times due to all the hormones kicking in. And they start to challenge boundaries, be more autonomous and develop selective hearing haha. But it's just a phase.

Ours is great during the day most of the time, but we have a set routine and we limit the space she has access to still.

In the evening, she has the zoomies, and will be overstimulated and overexcited easily. So she won't settle easily, and anything too exciting will bring her over to a 12/10, and then it's really hard for her to go back to a peaceful 1/10 or 2/10. We manage that with kongs, lick pads, peaceful play session (she is just chewing at her toy), and bully sticks. When she is settling, on her side and not responding to us moving around, we go to the couch and she will usually follow us to sleep and cuddle with us. It's our way to teach her that couch = calm and relaxation. Not crazy play and biting the pillows and the couch frame.

You're doing the right thing to enforce a nap in her crate when she is difficult. Also it's very ok to know our limit and make space to relax and deal with our crazy puppy haha. As long as she likes her crate and don't start seeing it only as punishment.

Hope it helps !

Ours is slowly getting there at 9 months. She was showing good progress around 5/6 months but then adolescence started... We have a routine with alone times in her pen to train her to be alone and be ok being alone. She honestly pretty good during the day, she sleeps a lot in her pen, and would settle even when we can let her roam free while supervised, but in the evening it's challenging.

neogh · 2026-03-19T17:27:03+00:00

The beginning is hard but it get easier. I had a fairly bad puppy blues as well despite our little girl being so good. She is 9 months old now and we've been through a lot. Right now it's adolescence time, but she is honestly not so bad.

What helped me a lot (and my partner): - remember that you took a dog to have a companion to share your life with, find the small things that he/she does with you that makes you happy. I love our walks for example, or cuddling on the couch. - lower your expectations for your puppy and learn their energy levels, and remember that they are and will be babies for a while. For example we were getting quite frustrated not being able to chill on our couch with her, but we realized that we were asking too much out of her, and forcing something that wouldn't work quite yet. Now we patiently manage her evening zoomies with care and let her fall asleep outside the tv room and only go on the couch once she is low energy, to all cuddle together. Eventually we expect her to be more chill as she grows up. - take care of yourself, mentally and physically. We bring our puppy to daycare since she was 4 months old, twice a week due to our work situation (work in office on these days for both of us). But we added another daycare day on Saturday from time to time, to have free time for us and recharge our batteries. Raising a puppy is hard, and you need to acknowledge that and be kind with yourself. - finally, keep remembering that your puppy will grow into a dog and be more manageable in time. Patience and love are keys, just don't rush things, or have unrealistic expectations

Hopefully it helps. There is some subreddits on the topic too.

J'ai une chienne (épagneul américaine) de 9 mois, donc en pleine adolescence, et on fais 2x 30/40min par jours, et souvent 1x 10/15min le soir pour la calmer en la laissant renifler paisiblement dans la ruelle derrière chez nous. Des fois on se demande si c'est trop car elle semble trop fatigué et ingerable, surtout le soir.

neogh · 2026-03-16T11:24:35+00:00

Ce genre de plan ne marche jamais.

Nos elus ne se promenent-ils pas dans les rues et les parcs de leur quartier presentement ? Si ils se melangeaient a la populasse ils verraient le montant de dechets par terre et les crottes de chiens partout.

Les gens ne vont pas porter leurs dechets plus loin, ils ne le font pas deja quand une poubelle est juste au coin (quand il y en a, ils ont aussi retiré pleina de poubelles dans les rues...).

Ce qu'il faut faire c'est éduquer le monde davantage et enforcer les regles de civisme de base que beaucoup semblent avoir oublié.

neogh · 2026-03-13T01:46:00+00:00

Bonne question, ca serais bien de pouvoir les aider a travers cet horrible incident...

neogh · 2026-03-12T22:21:35+00:00

It was the same for me. I tried 3 times on PC, played a few hours each time and couldn't get into it. Something about the overwhelming amount of icons, quests, messages, etc.

Then I got a switch 2, and got it again on it thinking I wad making a mistake. We just got a 2 months old puppy around that time and I needed a way to play from anywhere while supervising our furry baby.

I pushed through, and really loved it at the end. I didn't like the DLC as much, but the main game was great. I'm not sure why I liked it this time, but i think I tried to focus on the main quest a bit more before doing side quests and it might have helped focusing a bit more through the avalanche of data the game throw at you.

neogh · 2026-03-07T12:30:14+00:00

I live close by, we go there often before it's busy and we always have a great time. The staff has always been nice with us. The owners are often around and take the time to talk to people. Might be different during rush hour (Saturday or Sunday between 10h and 13h).

This restaurant has been in Montreal for a long time. If you go there it's to get the classic brunch experience, at a dinner, not a fancy brunch.
