This was the centrifuge through which they distilled the kids worth giving a shit about.
Yes, I know centrifuges don’t distill. No, I will not be making any modifications. And, if you asked in your heart, you were probably the chaff spun aside by the Iron Dais of Judgment.
Is that meat…just…on a metal shelf?
What?
I only remember the wave-based, tower defense main mod. What playground mode was there?
There have been a number of voxel shooter that have shipped lowkey since Minecraft that attempted to add block placement to the team v team ticket shooter, e.g. Ace of Spades.
What about Anthem?
Wait, kids don’t use the index? How do they find things in the book?
I don’t know about your textbooks and what ages you’re referring to but I remember many of my technical textbooks had citations in the back.
Define “works”?
If you’re a CEO, cutting all your talent, enshittifying your product, and pocketing the difference in new, lower costs vs standard profits might be considered as “working”.
They made a successful cipher that has thwarted their enemies into perpetuity.
Nah, not me. I’m a husky: smart enough to get myself into trouble, not smart enough to get myself out of it.
Yeah, and then we got better
If, 24 months from now, most people aren’t coding, it’ll be because people like him cut jobs to make a quicker buck. Or nickel.
Sure, in the broad, capitalist sense, you can’t blame the company.
But, as just a collection of people, you can absolutely blame them. Saying that a company has no fault in deciding to use aggressive, manipulative methods to pull money out of people no matter what feels on the level of saying 'I couldn’t help myself, they should’ve stopped me from being terrible".
Oh boy, can’t wait for modders to dress it up as various star wars speeders. I’m looking forward to play all the star wars mods but i refuse to pay full price for that thing
As the other guy said, lunch specials aren’t dynamic insofar as any pricing can be dynamic when the restaurant just changes prices willy-nilly. Which is what surge pricing is.
Lunch specials are a separate, generally static part of the menu. Like how using a coupon isn’t considered dynamic pricing for the times when you have a coupon on you.
Jesus fkn wept, is this real?
No agrument there. I’m just saying that can’t be labeled as ‘bad game design’ like the examples the TO listed can. I believe a game isn’t required to aim for as many players as possible. An MMO only needs enough players to sell the illusion that there are other people with agency shaking up the world, and I believe you can achieve that with a couple thousand players. You can easily find tens of thousands of people that would play a melee only MMORPG, especially if it were full dive.
(This is, of course, handwaving the economics of funding an MMO)
I don’t think this, in particular, makes the game bad as long as the game is designed around the lack of support.
I just cannot fathom this absolutely brainlet, short-term thinking. Yeah, these people have created some of the best content we’ve ever made (according to player feedback). Let’s fucking fire them all!
When did “investing” die and rise as a revenant obsessed with burning down the building to get one more penny? Do billionaires know something we don’t and are burning everything down because the planet’s gonna explode?
I thought those were just the rules?
