Because it is more data I guess ? Also probably has to use lossless compression, if it can be compressed at all. Whereas video compression algorithms are usually pretty damn lossy

Same rendering engine, same lighting, and for the vast majority of them, basically the same rendering settings (as the other person said, tweaking these can actually be quite a lot of work)

Read their FAQ (it’s quite informative and pretty funny too!). Afaik you can if you actually didn’t vote the last time, lean blue, and are eligible to vote in a swing state

This. I didn’t spend nearly 1000 bucks on hardware that ensures that I basically spend more time on the POST screen than on the rest of the entire boot sequence to keep the thing on 24/7

Maybe I’m doing it wrong or I’m just too shy to socialize with strangers in these games, but as someone who has fond memories of my favorite TF2/killing floor community servers, I feel like there is basically no sense of community in these games now that matchmaking is king and private hosting is a thing of the past

I’m a dark souls enjoyer who thinks that hollow knight is a gorgeous game with mediocre platforming and decent combat. I’m pretty sure you made my blood pressure jump to unsafe levels

I don’t know that much about these kind of dynamics because I am not a soulless capitalist ghoul, but I remember reading that Kotick actually did that kind of stuff mostly by himself and was quite good at it (which did translate into more money being made, which probably kept investors happy and cemented his position)

Oh look it’s the thing everyone said would happen way back when Activision bought Blizzard

Well, if dodos had a Glock they would not have been hunted to extinction now, wouldn’t they ?

audible C++ programmer disgust

It’s not uncommon to see people expressing disdain for other distros. I feel like it’s tongue in cheek 99% of the time though

I mean, considering how some of them can struggle with ice cubes, you’d need one hell of a (consumer grade) blender to effectively get rid of a body

As a professional gamedev : good. Except if they aren’t tackling similar issues in online gambling (am at work so I didn’t read the article)

Edit : read the article, they basically only mention displaying the real money equivalent when buying “premium” currency, which is only the tip of the iceberg, but also pretty easy to legislate I guess.

But just know that I’m order to set it up, you have to login with your account on their computer at some point to enable the family sharing feature

I doubt it, because I think that’s literally how it used to work
