Taking it private just means taking it off the stock market (the news of it possibly going private has already cause the share price to spike).

Honestly, public trading of games companies sucks anyway and is what drives all the shit you see from the likes of EA, Take Two, Roblox etc.

Under private control, and less drive to bleed every drop of value out of every property might mean we can get classics like Beyond Good and Evil again.

That isn’t Dante Basco…

Steam VR 3.0 bitches. Grab your tinfoil Half-Life 3 crowbars because the 3 is a-coming.

Jokes aside, Valve really are true to their word 11 years ago at LinuxCon.

The car thing really blew my mind. My hotel was 400m from the office but 1.6km by car. Colleagues were waiting for a taxi while I walked. I had to cut over a couple of car parks and a bit of grass (zero sidewalks) and was there in a few minutes while they turned up 15min later since they were waiting for a taxi.

The worst part, they all jumped in cars to go 300m down the road for lunch. Yeah, I walked. With looking for a parking space then walking from the space to the restaurant, they got there after me.

I adore Americans; they’ve been nothing except kind and generous to me in every part of the country I’ve visited but damn, the money they’re wasting alone just starting their engines and the wear and tear on the vehicles blows my fucking mind. Build some sidewalks, guys!

All that redaction yet the still manage to dox themselves. Man, this poor sap is screwed.

You’re not wrong. Research into models trained on racially balanced datasets has shown better recognition performance among with reduced biases. This was in limited and GAN generated faces so it still needs to be recreated with real-world data but it shows promise that balancing training data should reduce bias.

If anything, it’s great to see those toxic weirdos leave the community. Hopefully Redot can continue to attract the cesspit dwellers for years to come!

You jest but half a country are below average intelligence. It’s not outlandish to think that many individuals in that half aren’t really following what is being said or understand it. What they can follow is the visuals. How they look, how they stand, how they move; how they “read”. And a non-trivial number of above average people still judge books by their covers.

I think the point the person above was trying to make is that Vance won the area the majority of people can evaluate and the importance of visuals.

I wonder if you have to complete the base game before you can do this expansion?

I don’t get it. What are they trying to achieve here? I sadly don’t speak fluent Nutjob.
