On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there's probably something similar for Java

I was thinking earlier today what Legate Lanius would have thought seeing the Courier use every single chem in his inventory before talking to him.

It feels a bit like Ali Express pricing with games being listed as $100 but being discounted year round for 50% off to give consumers the illusion of getting a deal.

It also seems like a lot of titles don't go down in price as they age as often as they used to.

I wonder if they would reuse the scraps similar to how Lego reuses defective bricks

Maybe it has to do with how the card is setup. For example if the phone believes it's a portable device versus something for internal storage it might not provide the option in case someone encrypts the card not realizing they will need decryption software on other devices they want to use it on.

I believe they are sold in the same size box as any other soap so I don't think transportation would really matter.

Yeah. "Dairy products" and ice cream is an example I feel like more people are aware of.

That was what I was getting at. From what I've read online Dove's use of synthetic detergent and claims of moisturizing are reasons why it can't be labelled as soap under the FDA

Thanks for the reply.

Why isn’t more soap oval? Economics. It’s far more expensive to mold mass-market soap in round shapes. It’s dramatically cheaper to make it square.

Would it really be that expensive?

From my understanding soap is usually pushed into some kind of oval plate to be trimmed before being pushed again into a press that shapes and stamps it simultaneously. If a company already needed a custom mold for a stamped label would the shape make much of a difference? Other than that I think the only alteration would be the plate the soap is pushed through. At a large scale the expenses related to not being able to use more common parts might add up I guess.

This does make me wonder how diverse large scale soap manufacturing equipment is. Maybe there is an industry-standard bar of soap and I've never noticed how similar different bars of soap are in shape to each other.

I feel like that has to be pretty hard with how corporate pretty much every "AAA" game publisher is. So many are subsidiaries of subsidiaries and the parent company wouldn't hesitate to push them to the curb.

They might also be worried about getting into a Duke Nukem Forever situation where they end up endlessly in development. They would end up having to fix issues while also keeping up with gaming trends.

Didn't CD Projekt Red have a couple other bad releases?

I've read Witcher 3 had some pretty nasty bugs on release for example but it did seem like Cyberpunk 2077 was order of magnitude worse.

I thought there was another game released by CD Projekt Red that had some major issues on release but I don't have the time to dig for articles about it.

I wonder if they will ever release a definitive edition of The Sims 3 or 4. Even with a 90% discount the number of DLCs keep complete versions of the game rather expensive.

Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.

I agree it would be more honest but I'm wondering how the early access label would effect their sales.

Games like Project Zomboid and 7 Days To Die got a decent amount of attention from sites like YouTube but I'm wondering how many people stick around for the trickle of updates or will care when the game transition into a full release.

This is setting aside ethics obviously.

That's how I ended up with so many games in my backlog

Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?

Kind of a neat concept.

Reminds me of projects that use open source engine recreations to create their own standalone games.

For example the dhwem3 (Doom 3) standalone game Rivensin.

Fair enough. It is a lot more niche but it still becomes quite distracting.

I think they are separate and different enough to be enjoyed individually

Upvotes are meaningless on Lemmy and there's usually duplicate communities hosted on different instances.

Why don't you just join Exploding Heads and get it over with Tesla licker?

Linkin Park's In the End but the MIDI version
