Damn, the incantation failed.

Time to bring out the billy goat.

At that point, people were curious and decided to go deeper into the engine. Low and behold, it’s a game engine, based entirely on telemetry technology.

Well of course it is… you gotta render the service paid for lol let the Russian oligarchs get their money’s worth.

What’s Meta need a bunch of fascist Christian nationalists for? It’s not like they have an overlapping demograph-oh yeah, ofc.

Mark Zuckerbot sure is a shrew bastard. Elon Musk wishes he had his computational brain.

The problem with automating everything is that suddenly consumers have no money to spend on products and services… you know what that means.

Universal Basic Income

That, or an oligarchy class keeps a distance between themselves and 99% of the people via privatised security, or even national security.

So socialism, or a return to the aristocracy. Take your pick.

This, and Bangladesh. All places that rely on wage slavery, child labour and unethical working conditions, because that which is unethical is also very cheap.

You can’t really compete with slavery, because again: it’s very cheap, and the way the Chinese state leads Chinese farmers and villagers into social lock-ins, whereby they legally become stuck in an area where there’s only grueling, deadly, soul crushing and back breaking labour that leads to a life of poverty becomes a problem for the rest of the world if it’s used to manipulate the markets.

I do of course realise this article is about “too big to fail” companies that corner every market, but I also think that the west and the east needs to think about what it means to partake in a race to the bottom where wage slavery is part and parcel of the market. It creates conditions whereby competition involves who can make the most horrible living conditions in the world, and do you really want that?

There are Chinese labourer families who have been trying to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” for generations now, and it’s all thanks to other nations enabling the Chinese regime - especially the west.

Friends don’t let friends take drugs from new age psychos.

This is why Godot is so important and that source available can be something the EU has to consider for all newly designed games. Sorry, small, mid and big time game studios, and screw you publishers, what we need is to make sure that the barrier to entry for game developers is significantly lowered. What, you think I’m taking about video game conservation? Leave that to AccursedFarms.

What I’m saying is that you can more easily pitch games to publishers, using assets and engines that are already “standardised”, like Bethesda’s several Rube Goldberg machines, if they are available. I’m looking at Fallout London as saying to myself: why isn’t this on Steam, Switch, and every other platform Fallout 4 can run on, being sold by Bethesda?

Even split prices, one for people who already owned Fallout 4, one for who recently purchased Fallout 4 if they don’t have Fallout 4 - if you wanna be pedantic. But the point remains the same: these lovely modder devs, though they shouldn’t be forced, could have pitched this game to Bethesda, even as an “off-universe” game. Whatever.

But then we remember the Fallout 76 Store. Oh my god, no. And DMCA takedowns, claims of copyright infringement - even though “modified works” doesn’t exclude software - and what about actual live services and competitive games? Like could the community make the server instead? Can it be something even the Olympic Committee has a hand in, so the game can be vetted for the Olympics?

Like update your EULA. “May be used, modified and deployed for free if it’s used for education and development purposes”. I’m not a lawyer, so take them scribblings with a grain of salt, but something like that would really just add an extra level in participation in schools, clubs, organisations, etc, even as an easy way to recruit and receive games and new worlds, for free.

Free the engine! Free all of the engines! NOW!!! “The secret sauce” fallacy has been stupid, is stupid right now, and will continue to be stupid into the future - unless we do something about it.

Free the engines!

r/BigBooty is going to be bone dry…

Unless Reddit actually monetizes the process for content creators, in which case, we need them to open up their books - because then they’ll be running a marketplace.

…is he closeted gay? Gays who know about closeted gays, please enlighten me.

This is why Russophobia is dumb. They can hardly organise in diaspora because people become sceptical and paranoid, in effect helping Putin to cut off the oxygen of any dissent movement.

You should help Russians in your town or city. You should help them organise, get funding and to basically form a clear Russian identity outside the Russian nationalist propaganda engine.

This is not only important, but crucial to save Ukraine, because pressure must be applied - on both sides of the border.

They spent a lot of GPU time trying to get it just right.

The history of pondering started in the era of Gorgamel, during the second dynasty of the luke warm giants. Teridius the meticulous was decorating his garden, when he spotted a round, reflective object.

As he sat down and started to stare at it he was spotted by a light catcher trying to steal the souls of the local faerie populace. This image was spread from mirrors to reflective ponds across the lands.

Old Teridius had suddenly spurred on a trend that would take the wizard college by storm, and have the local witches covens giggling over whose orb was most shiney.

And so ends this fake fantasy history lesson, largely because my team lead is banging on the stall door, telling me I’m not supposed to ponder the orb on company time. Screw you, Terry, it’s a mental health provision and you’re actively hindering it. Maybe you should ponder the orb - you creep.

Sheize

Can someone give me an ELI5?

Listen, some of you mfs don’t need a standing desk, you need a running desk, that gets up and runs the second your brain turns on autopilot.

Focus! Or the screen runs away.

“The ratio will go down, after a while, bear with us.”

The company, and also probably the Chinese government… most likely.

This person, nay, this legend, has reached across language barriers and opened up entire new worlds to people who suffer from lacking or outdated documentation.

If you or your loved ones are afflicted by bad documentation, please voice your grievances to whatever ticket or email chain deserves to be told their documentation is absolute ass.

Yes, I can read the code API, now delete that old ass mess. If you don’t want to communicate it, let someone else have those search engine results.

Ffs.
