No. No, that really would not be great.

It's doctor, actually.

It is if you don't get pay to run, getting anywhere faster doesn't help you at all, and it costs more energy. And you gain nothing from it. That's my point.

What the Switch 2 has to get right in c/games@lemmy.world

Geezus fucking hell, 40 minutes. For the answer that is just "do the same thing as the first Switch because that thing prints money despite what everyone predicted".

Do you know any singleplayer games that are infinitely replayable? in c/gaming@lemmy.ml

Hrm, you're not wrong but Hades also exemplifies why quality wins over quantity when in replayability.

These people don't get to pick whether they use Excel, either. They have to, they just want to get their job done and go home, too.

They don't get paid to walk upright, basically. So why do it just so someone else can buy another yacht?

Hrm, I would argue that if your update gets in the way of productivity on the user side, then it's actually worse, not better.

Sure, in a vacuum it might be superior, but that is now what is happening.

We used to rail against our users always wanting an Excel like view for everything, but when you observe them working to understand their work flow it makes sense. They use excel the other 75%of the day, we're the one breaking their mental flow and ruining their productivity.

Satisfactory Release Date Announcement (September 10) in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

EA just means "we released unfinished and we're still working on it". Because factually that's what it is.

So Coffee Stain:

  • Released a game quite unfinished (but still fun, don't get me wrong!).
  • Actually invested the time and money to get it finished and fix it up after release.

No it just means you were a dick so someone kicked you off their private property for it. That's their right, isn't it?

Yeah because you were being a dick.

You do realize though that freedom of speech does not mean freedom to say whatever you want, yes?

Scorchlands leaving early access on the 25th of July (www.gog.com)

TIL that in Melbourne, a 1 : 1 000 000 000 scale model of the solar system includes a mini-Proxima-Centauri that is one-time-around-the-entire-world away at this scale. (stkildamelbourne.com.au)
 

From the pdf:

After the Sun, the closest star to us is a small Red Dwarf star, Proxima Centauri. It is too faint to be seen without using a sizeable telescope. It is 4.24 light years away, so in our model, which is 1:1 billion scale, it is 40,140 kilometres away. This is approximately the distance around the circumference of the world from Melbourne to Melbourne.

That's extremely nerdy, I love it.

Dev of cancelled Life By You game shares some information, including just two weeks notice of cancellation after being given the thumbs-up a few weeks prior (www.linkedin.com)
 

I cannot share specific numbers, but I can say that we had an internal metric we were aiming for that had been approved, and that we exceeded that number by a significant portion. We also got a thumbs up a few weeks before launch.

So I just tried the demo for Tactical Breach Wizards, and that's... actually really really genius (store.steampowered.com)
 

I like this. A lot. I mean as far as I can judge it just from the demo.

It looks like it'd be a quirky XCOM-like. Chimera Squad, but even more magic than the special ability in that. And in a lot of ways it is that, but it has this thing where you can see what the enemy will do on their turn, which in turn makes your turn a tight puzzle as you got near-perfect information.

And it's super well done. You can pull off these perfect turns constantly where no enemy can ever do anything and you control the entire momentum, and it feels cool. I hope they can keep that up as the team gets bigger, but so far it feels nice.

Plus, the writing is quirky as fuck and very fourth-wall-breaking, but also cool. The whole game gives off that vibe, what with one guy using an Assault Staff (basically an AR-15 but also a wizard's staff) and your witch having a tactical vest on and tac goggles on her witch hat.

Did anyone of you try it? Did you also like it? Definitely waiting for them to announce when it'll come out now.

Michael Cohen cites AI-generated court cases in his defense (www.theverge.com)
 

Michael Cohen, the former lawyer for Donald Trump, admitted to citing fake, AI-generated court cases in a legal document that wound up in front of a federal judge, as reported earlier by The New York Times. A filing unsealed on Friday says Cohen used Google’s Bard to perform research after mistaking it for “a super-charged search engine” rather than an AI chatbot.

I... don't even. I lack the words.

NoBridgeScript, typeface specifically designed to be printable upright with no supports or bridging (www.printables.com)

Description from the page:

I had a novel idea - a font composed entirely of 45-degree angles at maximum. This led to the birth of NoBridgeScript, currently in its first draft. I foresee numerous tweaks and refinements ahead, but the vision is clear: a font where every letter can be 3D printed in its upright position, no supports or bridging required, without looking to terrible. At present, the font includes only uppercase characters, but I hope we can collectively progress this project. Your insights and contributions would be invaluable in shaping NoBridgeScript to its full potential!

Huge thanks for goodjob creating and uploading this! Fantastic!
