I don't use Reddit beyond Google searches. This is not Reddit in pretty much any way, it's a 1990s forums. There are four people here, and they're all my frenemies.
Mastodon was Twitter if Twitter only spoke about Twitter and Mastodon. I don't use Mastodon anymore.
Probably not, but you're underestimating the value of presets and standards, I think. It's less about shipping Unreal defaults and probably more about working with a bunch of outsourcing studios or even buying assets from a storefront with some confidence that everything is going to work.
I don't think it's as much a AAA problem, where people will have dedicated engine teams, systems engineers and a whole team managing outsourcing and more about smaller AA and indies where people are wearing multiple hats and less willing to deal with anything they don't have to. AAA will use Unreal for other reasons.
Ultimately it's the old open source chestnut of someone going "who cares if the UX isn't as good, it does everything you need it to do with a bit of effort" and proceeding to win that argument into everybody still using the proprietary alternative.
FWIW, Unity struggled a lot to shed the "multiplatform indie engine for phones" stuff and it took a hell of a bunch of active proselytism to start presenting themselves as competitive for other types of things before they decided to poop all over that effort. There's no reason it'd be any easier for Godot.
There's supposed to be a bunch of that in Doom Patrol as well, it's just that... well, the type of production that show is just doesn't allow for it, both creatively and in terms of what it's able of constructing visually.
It was good. Went kinda off the rails later on, but it started very strong and even later it looked super nice and had some fun concepts.
If you're going to go weird and deconstructive with superheroes it's so much more interesting than the usual "bad Superman" The Boys crap. And it captures this weird 80s/90s British weirdness that Alan Moore or Grant Morrison brought to the proceedings in a way that has been almost entirely unexplored. The only other attempts I can think of are the Berlantiverse Doom Patrol, which, sorry, just doesn't have the ability beyond superficial imitation and the current Sandman run. Which, weirdly, takes almost the same approach.
Legion found its own way to channel that weirdness in a way that feels native to the medium rather than copy/pasting comic book panels. I thought it was well worth the rough spots.
So... not sure if that's where the picture comes from, but what seems to be happening in Europe right now is roaming gangs of nazis causing violence.
I'm impressed by the dilligence seeding the lie, just in case the news pierces the veil.
People keep saying this. Being able to identify carts is not the same as being able to identify resold carts.
There is no tool to identify resold carts. People can and do travel and move to different countries with their consoles. There can be multiple accounts per console. People can feasibly have two consoles right next to each other connected to different networks and swap carts between them. People can change consoles because they upgraded or because they have multiple consoles in the household. And people can and do resell carts all the time.
And there is no way to differentiate those scenarios even if you can/could track each cart individually.
There could be a record of which consoles have played which carts, but that gives you exactly zero information about how many owners the cart has had.
Switch accounts aren't associated to consoles and physical game entitlements aren't associated to accounts. Any account can be in any console at any time and instantly show in in multiple places and while you could account for travel times it's a pretty pointless thing to do that, to my knowledge, Nintendo is not doing.
What is more likely is that a cart showing up many times at the same time could flag it. Which is what everybody, including the guy who had the problem, is hypothesizing. This has nothing to do with reselling or transfering ownership of the physical game, beyond the fact that buying a used, dumped cart is the only way to end up with a dumped cart without knowing there are potentially thousands of copies of it floating around.
Well, for one thing because I'd like to know if my threads are a cesspool and to be able to do something about it.
If I have some random obsessive online stalker that is posting the most grotesque crap systematically on all my posts and interfering with everybody else I want to know and I want to report them so this person can get moderated for everybody, not just me, instead of having them scare people off from my threads without my knowledge.
I like how Bluesky handles this. They have a turboblock nuclear button. If you block someone not only do they lose the ability to see your stuff, their posts de-thread everything under them. Nobody can keep going up the chain of their posts to find yours or keep arguing in your thread without your knowledge. With that feature set, absolutely block fast. You're effectively doing moderation there.
Here you can cover your ears, but not everybody else's and you have no control about moderation of any kind unless you own your instance AND the instance of the person you want to moderate. Muting is a last resort to make it not your problem, but not a solution.
Was it missing? I don't remember that. Did all the DLC make it to the remaster? I kinda remember it did.
EDIT: Checked. The Steam page says it did.
Yeah, Paradise is built on you learning the map. I have a hard time wrapping my head around how hard doing that is fresh because man, is that map seared into my brain forever now.
Traffic checking is weird because I want to dislike it on principle coming from 3, but... yeah, I kinda really like the games that include it, too. Like, reluctantly. I see how it breaks something at the core of the Burnout idea, but also... it's really satisfying and makes the game more pleasant to play, even if acknowledging that feels wrong.
Romania's relationship with flowers is weird and it freaks me out.
Going there for the first time and finding weird flower selling stalls in every corner is a very surreal moment and if you dare ask for an explanation people look at you like you are about to be wrapped in roses and sacrificed to some weird pagan deity.
Yes, that's the point. You put them in there, try to enforce them, see if that plays out or not. Ultimately you're punting the determination of how far they can apply to the courts.
Which ends up being why a lot of these never get enforced. In some cases the companies would rather let you quietly break their terms than roll the dice and find out that they don't have the protections they tried to give themselves.
Ultimately the limits of EULAs are set in legislation. What really matters is consumer protections. And in issues like these and copyright more generally we are in a bit of a no man's land where the regulations are woefully out of date, not keeping pace with the new online-driven economy of digital goods and companies are mostly not trying to enforce a bunch of their EULAs anyway.
We end up in a system where a significant chunk of our online economy is decided by Google and social media companies by default.
Oh, man, this came out? I saw one trailer and then never thought about it again. I'll have to go take a peek.
Frankly, if genAI helps less affluent film markets compete with US behemoths I'm not against that application. I will pay a subscription to watch Ricardo Darín eat a sandwich, but if that's what it takes for international audiences to get there it's probably worth it.
