I played countless hours of Cave Noire this year. It’s a coffee break roguelite that released in 1991 on Gameboy.
I fuck around with old games a lot but there are not that many games I get really into these days. Cave Noire is similar to Desktop Dungeons where every attempt is a short puzzle so it fits pick up and play nature of Gameboy. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re into this kind of stuff.
LLMs on their own are not a viable replacement for assistants because you need a working assistant core to integrate with other services. LLM layer on top of assistants for better handling of natural language prompts is what I imagined would happen. What Gemini is doing seems ridiculous but I guess that’s Google developing multiple competing products again.
That brief moment in time when we had dirt cheap Nexus phones, Google Now and Inbox was peak Google. Just 5 years later it was all gone.
How are the decisions taken by the highier-ups related to workers unionizing?
I give up. Are you an American or something?

At some point you’re so entrenched in the market you don’t have to do anything anymore. I was quite surprised that Valve somehow evaded EU Digital Markets Act gatekeeper criteria.
Rare case of Valve updating anything to 64-bit binaries. Now do the client and not just server.
I’m accelerating late stage capitalism by being critical of monopolies? What???
My work PC is affected. Nice!
Yes, it’s a nice cage.
Boutique shop successful, therefore Amazon is not a monopoly.
If EGS mandated those things it would be as successful as GOG. Which is irrelevant compared to Steam. Steam didn’t become successful because of tags. It’s because they were first.
Those free games weren’t actually free, Epic paid for them, you know.
EGS would have all this in that hypothetical scenario, why wouldn’t it?
Those things are up to developers / publishers, not the marketplace.
Leveraging dominant position to keep your monopoly is illegal even in the US.
Yes, developers are also victims of this monopoly. It’s obviously better (“worth it”) to pay 30% for visibility on the biggest marketplace.
You don’t seem to understand what a monopoly is. Having some small competition that’s not ever going to threaten you because you can leverage your dominant position is also a case of a monopoly.
Epic poured billions of Fortnite money with little to show for it. How is anyone going to compete with a platform that most gamers have all of their games on? This is why they need to be broken up or brought to order via regulations. Companies are not your friends.
Scandalous attack on free speech
