They’re not known for big projects. Except Callisto Protocol which flopped so hard they will put their hands on whatever has more than 7 figures.

I while I’m kind of happy for the people who can still have a jobs, I fully expect they become a shell from their former selves (cut jobs) and make freemium crap.

It would be great to have a credibility score for websites or political bias in this community.

The Meta-owned messaging app is extremely popular in Europe owing to its cross-platform compatibility.

There you have it. If iMessages was cross platform, people would use it, but it doesn't, so people will pivot for the second best thing.

Also, Northamerica SMS roots are deep, deeper than Europe, Asia and Latinamerica. Disgusting or not, the people already made its choice: $1 a year was too much.

TL;DR: A mediocre/fair game is not bad.

Gonna say what everyone haven’t: the display is great to read but that’s it. The hardware is mediocre at best, and SolOS is unimpressive. At $730 it’s DOA since the iPad Air M2 exists and you can watch streaming on that.

This article gives some insight on what Zen 5 is all about on desktop and PC. Personally I’m intrigued about how RYZEN AI 300 will perform, and how the availability will be, especially on the Mini PC side.

It breaks football when the foul is against you.

And where is the evidence? Asking for a friend.

This is a great video to introduce someone to the whole “What is Linux” thing without going into deep detail, plus showing some tools you’ll use every day.

Yes and no. They had to put the version identifier somewhere to avoid sorting problems or parsing problems, so I think that putting somewhat in the middle is a good tradeoff.

Let's see:

• There is already Steam for Mac, which a great catalog and sales.
• The only appeal of an App Store game is cross-platform... in Apple devices.
• Consoles (with controls) are cheaper than any Apple product compatible with AAA games. (This includes the Steam Deck).
• There are no platform-selling exclusives.
• There is no exclusive hardware features.
• Major most-played games are not available OOTB: PUBG, Roblox, Rocket League, Genshin Impact, Apex Legends, Call of Duty, CSGO2.

Yeah, I get the sentiment: why. But Apple has to start with something, and if they want people to buy games they will need a bigger catalog, and for that they need to keep their porting tools easier to implement.

I don’t remember quite well, but it sold well, but not well enough for a AAA franchise.

Capcom is on a row giving fans what they want and making millions from it. Compare that to Square Enix.

Well, the thing is that 3 years looks like "too long" but eventually the spec is held by the timeframe of having actual silicon. Even if it's not 1 year or 2, at least is not 5 or 7.

That's probably the problem of standards. Everyone has to agree to a new spec, instead of a company offering double the PCI Express bandwidth and latency that, low and behold, only works on their hardware and will charge for royalties.

3 years look like a lot, but it's cheaper than vendor lock-in, which everyone has afraid of since is in that moment your business is controlled by other business.

Common rule: AMD for Linux, NVIDIA for anything else.

I don’t think it’s a scam or a fraud (legally), but it’s really an undercooked assistant that is $170 too much.

I think that CZ has something, but eventually we will have to wait and let it cook, to check how the company (and maybe the device) are entangled with cryptos.

That is bloody outrageous fam!

Analysts said it would sell around 350,000 units, so that’s below expectations of what Apple expected by shipping 800,000 units.

A flop would have been <100,000.

Either way, I think that Apple expected this and they were preparing for an update on 2025 if things go really well, but it didn’t. Whatever units have in the oven, they will probably be used for a Vision Non-Pro.

Even then, they will have it rough. Current VR headsets are cheap enough and good enough. It feels like the iPhone came 2 years after Android came to the market.

There are few games that define a genre, transforming them into games for history books, and that’s Super Metroid. It refined the exploration-by-abilities genre we know now as “Metroidvania”, much like Dead Souls defined the “Souls” genre, and so forth.

On the other hand, it also had it lows. Like that entry you don’t talk about that we hope someday is declared non-canon and all copies destroyed by spontaneous combustion.

I'm on the same boat, as the Battle Pass was already becoming stale. I hope this empowers more creative ways to get my daily dosis of dopamine in the game, without breaking the bank.

Those Arcanas though, they look sick but I would never buy one. Once you past the FOMO you really don't give a crap.

Yeah, but the writing was on the wall when it came to Xbox Game Pass a few months later. If Microsoft deal was better than burning its sales, then that was it.

Also, there was some other rumors that the sequel wasn’t green lit immediately since the sales of the first game didn’t meet EA expectations. Who knows it that can be attributed to missing Halloween and holidays.

I think Dead Space 2 remake will never come. Motive is working on the next BF and the Iron Man game, that look like safer investments than a sequel of a game that failed commercially (in their books).

Is part of Game Pass Ultimate. I don’t know which tier, if any, but it is.

There is little reason for subscribing when Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is closer in price. There are EA games for free but once you played all relevant games, you’re done. There are discount on the Xbox Store for some EA games.

And they better sty that way for a while. More acquisitions will bring debt that will probably be gambled on, instead of trying to stabilize their portfolio.

The only ones who won with Embracer buying spree were studio owners and execs with their bonuses.

Saved you a click. Signal boosting a site for jobs postings.

Well, making news for Geoff not tweeting something is already click bait.

Given the transition window, I can guess Control 2 will be ready for 2025.

IMTX can be fair if these don’t abuse the players time, and offer fun content. You’re paying the game for free, mind you.

Tencent already had invested in From Software. They want to see returns, and this is how.

It should be minimal. I think it’s more about the broad appeal, focused marketing, and the good quality of the releases. You got Persona on Xbox, that’s brings people in.

I’m eager to check the calendar of Japanese games for this year.i don’t know if they blow up all cartridges in January or there is more to come.

I suspect they will port core software running on the cloud first, running C# and chomping tops of RAM and CPU because reasons. Rust helps with both, but it takes time to port. Frontend apps will be the last thing will bring to Rust, maybe using WASM, and to avoid tools, use the same WASM packaged with Chromium for their standalone "apps" and walá: one codebase, all platforms.

What's dissapointing about Dev Home is that it offers nothing of value to the average developer, let alone somebody start it.

Given the power of containerization and WSL2, you would expect it could create development environments for a given app, like creating a firmware for a microcontroller using Rust, or a backend using Typescript, and even bring common tools or toolchains. Instead, we get some widgets and that's it.

I think it will depend on what Microsoft promises to the team. Eventually the funding needs to como from someone, and seems that Game Pass is great for games that can’t drive by selling copies alone or are not Baldur’s Gate III level of quality.

Same here I would use SurrealDB if I had only a front end app, as you can only use websockets and HTTP to connect to the database, and even push authentication to the database itself. There are many features for real-time apps there.

Otherwise, PostgreSQL is more stable.

To slam its puss-ahem I mean, to thoroughly test their release.

Like the compatible-with-anything pairdrop but as an app and paid?

I haven’t seen anything that could replace it so far.

Makes sense. I believe Chile has a big community of Palestinians. Might well use whatever is at their disposal to get attention on Gaza.

We even have a football club, CD Palestino.

Of course, otherwise would mean investing in huge data centers for running LLM models, or worse, buying hardware from NVIDIA.

Optimization is the key. Privacy is just an added bonus.

Same here. They would even TestFlight all they want, but it won’t get past the release to the Apple Store.

Even if they do, I can bet someone will find a copyrighted code (like Dolphin for Steam) or Nintendo will knock the door on Apple telling them to bring it down ASAP.

Eventually, someday we will see an emulator going to court and (hopefully) win to set a precedent, at the same time three planes nose crash simultaneously over the Hudson.

I would rather see them on a (free for all) group on two weeks rather than a gauntlet with the odds stacked against AFC, OFC and CAF.

I mean, 4 matches with one team resting each fixture it’s better than stacking the odds against OFC/AFC/CAF and letting UEFA get a free pass to the final, but who am I?
