What does it matter for this conversation?

Those people already got payed before being layed off.

At that point all the people getting money are the people who bullied their way to holding the rights for the IP.

Agree. The thing with realistic graphics is that it brings in soooo much complexity on a systems level that it becomes the center point everything else revolves around.

Imaging a 2d game vs a 3d game. Alone trough that you have a complete third dimension wich you have to account for.

A whole book full of new bugs are possible now.

And with realistic graphics the brain now expects the rules of the world to be realistic too.

My character looks photorealistic so, of course, the environment needs to look photorealistic too otherwise we go into uncanny valley territory.

So next thing the interaction needs to look realistic too. Think walking trough a forrest and the player character pushing leaves out of his way.

That is just to fucking much you need to test and invest time in to be flexible anymore.

The simple answer here is better art direction. Photorealism is neat but not needed.

With simpler graphics it becomes cheaper to change stuff in development so it becomes more viable to experiment with creative ideas.

You can have more diverse assets because they are, potentially, cheaper/less time consuming to make and they don’t take as much space.

Like 1 photorealistic tree needs as much discspace as 2 trees with half the polygons.

In the and gaming has become a business and people got involved that don’t play games.

For them it is just an investment and no different to a car or a garden hose. And for those people the only viable way to solve a problem is to trow money at it.

Which worked but only for making things grander not making it more interesting. For that you need people that solve problems with creativity.

And you get people who solve problems with creativity when there is less money because you have no other choice but to solve it like that.

That is clearly not the whole picture but a part of it IMHO.

I think at this point, if you are a gaming enthusiasts and are informed about the “scene” there is just no reason to buy AAA(AAAAAAA) games anymore.

And also no need to be angry about it. Just ignore them and talk about the indies that made a change. It is more productive to have that dominate the conversation than what sucks.

Because talking about shit is still advertisement for shit.

I don’t really understand the thing with fedora to be honest. I switched from windows to Linux and after trying some distros I endet up with fedora because everything worked.

So I am a beginner in this whole space.

After reading up on the controversy it seems to me that(in simple terms) fedora/rhel shut down a git repo which contained a compiled(?) os which other people took and then rebranded/gave another name.

The source code is still available in another git repo but here you have to compile it yourself and then have the same thing which you can rebrand.

I must be missing something because that does not seem like a big deal?

People drink bleach to avoid a life saving vaccine.

In this parody of a world we live in I say it is not so far fetched someone would do this.

I don’t think It’s possible. You can’t know that everything is distributed evenly in the cookie. So even if all pieces are the same size, you may have a piece with more in it then the others. This is called a hotspot.

Don’t know if it will be like that but it is the first thing that comes to mind.

I propose you contribute to Foss software that you use.

With that you are motivated because you are invested in the project, you will see the effect of your work and you learn about the process of contributing and working in a team.

That should keep you going for a while. Best of luck.

We do.

Didn’t the people left that made the games good?

If they improve netcode and hitreg that game will be awesome. Fast respawns, fast rounds, shooting feels good. It is fun if you don’t want to commite alot.

Mushroom coffee? Isn’t that just a soup?

That is just, like your opinion man.

Maybe you just don’t like that shit? I tried a degree but it was so boring that I bailed.

Did some jobs. Worked in a kitchen. Started as a dishwasher, then I became the one who made the salads, then I was the person who managed a food truck for the restaurant then I left because it became boring.

Then I worked at a event firm. I taught people how to use a bow while never having shot a bow in my life. And did a whole bunch of other stuff.

The last thing I did was becoming someone who writes code. Now i am searching for a job as coder. I do that until I get bored and do something else.

My point is that not everybody is made for the “do this one thing you whole life”-thing. And if I would try to force it I would be thinking about killing myself daily. Trust me, I tried.

Maybe that shit isn’t your thing and you are wasting your time because you try to force something you just don’t want to do.

There is no shame in working in retail if you like it. If you don’t like it, try something else until you find something you like. And if, someday, that bores you, do something else.

There is no shame in not “finishing” something. But you should never stagnate. Always keep moving. In which direction is not that important.

And I know that is not easy. But it is you life and if you really want to kill yourself… Well that gives you the freedom to try stuff that scares you. Nothing to lose because you are already dead.

Thanks for the answer!

I just want battleborne back…

What is the borrow checker and why are people so frustrated by it?

Alt Text should describe the picture for, example, blind people.

Maybe you could put the punchline in a spoiler tag? So people can read the setup without the punchline being visible.

Isn’t alt Text for people with screen reader who otherwise would have problems with pictures?
