Yet another reason PC is superior.
Not a premium user but Youtube has poisoned its own waters with its algorithm. You can see the “top” content basically gaming that algorithm as well as it can. Literally every part of it from the title to the thumbnail to the content itself is hollow except for the skinner box.
Man these guys should try putting more effort into making the game rather than harrassing their employees.
My main issue with it is that everyone is using it to push their own narrative about why the game failed. People doing the “It’s a woke game, so it went broke”, or “it’s a saturated market”, or whatever. These are just reactions, not data driven analyses.
He was fired
He owns the business. His ownership was liquidated by the other owner without paperwork, and most of the other owners dispute that the ownership was ever diluted. The decision over whether he should have been “fired” are really upto him and the other business owners.
It’s also unclear why the other employees, who may or may not have been coerced, were not siding with Kurvitz. I agree it’s a mess, but there’s a big gap between “feelings” and “actually grossly illegal stuff”.
There are other videos on the internet about this, but basically PMG have done a terrible job here. One person is accused of serious corporate misconduct, and the others have allegations of being hard to work with, and PMG effectively treats them as equal, not even realising that the reason maybe some people were hard to work with was because of forced labour from the guy also doing the corporate misconduct.
They’ve just not done a great job overall here.
It’s honestly silly. I have a minor interest in Olympics coverage but it’s so often difficult to be able to watch a sport or see more context from a meme that I just stop caring. Like imagine if you saw that shooting meme and thought “yeah I’ll watch the whole thing” but you can’t. The wheeling and dealing makes the whole thing harder to get excited about.
It’s important to recognise the mechanism is more important than the intent. If people cannot blow the whistle safely, then the “government” can freely keep secrets. “Government” is in air quotes here because often it’s the spooks or the military who get to keep secrets, often from the elected officials. This means that MPs are often kept in the dark (and sometimes on purpose, in a Berejiklian-style “I don’t need to know about that” sense) and this means that a bunch of people who we pay taxes for can do what they like with impunity.
If the secrets are kept, then the people keeping the secrets are not accountable to anyone. This is a serious problem if they start to violate the rights of people on Australian soil. You might feel like it’s not going to be you, but it well could be. There is no safety on that gun. The only way around it is to make whistleblowing safe.
The prime minister has apparently been pushing to get him out, and has apparently been mentioning him at every meeting with the US. It is what it is.
Writers give publishers legitimacy. Publishers will regularly pull the writers out to trot out some “copyright is important” line.
Modern day book burning. Done by the writers this time.
I wonder how they deal with flash storage degradation.
EDIT: Apparently the Switch uses something called XtraROM. See This for more info.
English speaking it’s a solid 5% now, so I’d say it’s one in twenty.
I’m just using it as a space heater for my study, which is also where I work from. While using the computer in Winter I just switch on f@h for both CPU and GPU (AMD 5700x and 6700xt), and this heats up the room. It’s a good 300-400W. I have home assistant telling me the temperature in the room and it bugs me to turn it off if it’s too hot. That’s my “temperature control”. I didn’t build anything, the computer is just under my desk and it heats up my room.
Originally my plan was to have F@H automatically turn on and off based on temperature, but it turns out the power is low enough and the lag is high enough that you switch it on in the morning, and then once the room is upto temperature you can just switch it off and the room will stay warm the rest of the day.
I do this. If you want to actually want to use or donate the processing power, this is kind of a good thing. However, there are a lot of downsides:
There were a bunch of game company closures in Australia in the 2000s and now there are a bunch of Australian indie devs, as an example. The cycle takes a long time though.
One thing which is irritating is just how ingrained Bunnings has becomes into our culture. Many people just go to Bunnings just for browsing. Unfortunately, they will also suck the air out of the room and basically force you to go to them. I have had to go to bunnings on occasion and have spent well more than I wanted to there.
Oh wow this is Bevy and Rust?! RIP to everyone saying no “real” games are made in Rust.
