That’s not how the projects in his example work. It’s closer to a game which you can play for free but getting it to start is a bit of a hassle if you aren’t tech oriented so they offer to host it for you.

It wouldn’t work for all types of games though. And some products do keep part of their offer behind a pay gap. Some work with donations, including governmental.

Why are we pretending only 1 faction doesn’t have a massive bot net, while that faction includes the CIA and NSA?

I bet even Arbies has a massive bot network lol, you just can’t trust anything these days.

I realized a while back I do this. If someone’s ask me if I know or have heard of someone, even if I don’t, I’ll squint and go “Hmm, ya, I think I heard the name”.

I never have, it’s more to keep the conversation going since I expect them to tell me, but it did strike me as a petty and silly thing to do when I realized I was doing it. Just can’t admit to not being knowledgeable, gotta just stay vague about it and pretend. Bad habit.

oh you sweet summer child

Put a time limit on your apps. 2 hours of YouTube per day and then no more type of limit. Make sure you have stuff to do so you can pivot off the phone. Then reduce the time but by bit.

It sucks but phone/tv addiction is real.

Elon sucks but that flip was cool.

And my point is he is a bad person, maybe the best we could hope for but still a bad person.

I never said I expected better, just that the media lays it on thick and that it’s laughable all the rubes that praise a guy who shrouds himself in homophobia and trans hate, and who protects pedophiles.

Everybody is panicking because of the low births but giving every new married couple an rtx5090 would probably solve it.

Society hates to see a man happy.

They don’t think it be like it is, but it do

Edit:

Okay so I went back and I figure you meant

This kind of trend pushes those with the know how out of the scene like what is clearly happening.

I’d say there’s probably a bigger opportunity for those with the know how to leverage it. People that were in for the insane puzzle level that is decompiling from what I understand can still do it.

I think either people are in it for the fun, or for opening up games. If a tool coming out and making it much easier is what gets you to quit, then you were in it for the wrong reasons.

Sounds like some flavor of gatekeeping. "Well if everyone else can do it, I quit :( ". Meh.

I don’t know of many indie games that obfuscate and knee cap their own product so it doesn’t work on other platforms or so modding it becomes an impossibility. There isn’t a legit reason why battlefield, GTA and God of war can’t run on Linux. The indie community isn’t pulling bullshit like this.

It’s over blown tribalism imo. There’s a handful of accounts that are always fighting each other. The rest are just normal people.

Anything more on the shadow banning? I did catch my account being shadow banned on another instance (not world or ml).

I think the community would turn quickly against any big instance shadow banning folk. That’s what the tesseract mess was about.

Is it better than nothing, because that’s mostly what we had before. Decomp used to take years for one N64 game. Bugs can be ironed out.

Making game purposefully limited fucking blows. I’m all for it, AI or not. I can’t play some of my favorite games because I’m not ready to bootlick microsoft and their bloated spy OS, let alone the console exclusives.

This is the reckoning Sony and co. deserve.

As an intellectual, I encourage people to do both.

Go vote, articles like these are there to make you stay home thinking it’s already a done deal.

W-w-where did they hide?
