I don't know about EU politics but how are conservatives reformists? (I should mention that I am honestly asking)

I don't have a stake in this right now, but isn't this essentially market manipulation the same way Elon was doing for dogecoin?

Knowing nothing about the source, the one movie I know this isn't about is the Angelina Jolie starrer Hackers

Congratulations to juul to be able to gather enough money to be able to bribe their local government official

I don't think I agree. Where I stay, we just had a whole month of 47C when ten years ago it used to be around 37C. I'm not saying it will follow the same linear scale but I am saying that there's only so long humans can survive at these temperatures. For the bulk of the population, surviving at these temperatures means spending electricity which means burning more coal which means accelerating warming.

I don't see how I myself am going to survive for ten, fifteen years when my country can no longer grow wheat or vegetables, leave alone future kids of mine.

I usually respect ars technical for writing great stories. This time, however, they could've included the name of the app so it wasn't clickbaity. It's newsbreak for those wondering.

TF do they mean stubbornly popular? My windows 10 works perfectly fine and I have absolutely no reason to change anything about it. What is this weird ass 'if you're not upgrading, you're being stubborn' when there is no reason to and windows 11 looks ass on top of it

Folks we're not Gucci here at all. I stepped out today around sunset but was still got instantly dehydrated. I'm sure crops are going to die and people are going to die independently

Valve and community management are sworn enemies

Why does this club together mangos and mangosteen? They are nothing alike.

Why did he get downvoted lol

If you're looking for a very faithful homam game, songs of conquest does it really well and is pretty cheap.

The last two games were amazing but personally I'm not looking forward to one without Mick Gordon in it.

You're missing one season which isn't very plot heavy.

I'm not a gas stove purist but I just wanted to put forth a point which I don't see raised here- my cultural food is quite bit reliant on an open flame for things such as daily bread and the occasional vegetable or meat roasting. I have used an electric stove for it in the past but the results are nowhere close.

My entire country has only ever cooked on gas stoves as far as I know so I would love for this study to also be conducted in my country because I don't know where the adverse effects of gas stoves would have been manifesting in the people around me since I see most people here live full lives.

I don't know if you meant it with a /s or not but I would like to point out the entire rage around early access or alpha releases.

Other than that, having fans do things like these is something I don't think any developer would want to do primarily because contracts ensure accountability. As a developer, I have no way of knowing if the Spanish dub you made of my game is full of racial slurs or not. Similarly, if I launch my PS game on switch in the future, and it's absolutely abysmal, I would be the one on the firing block and rightfully so because I am the one who is bound to make money off of it. Shouldn't that mean I go with someone who has expertise in doing these things?

I personally am not aware of the mana series so I might not fully understand your argument, so you should feel free to educate me, but I believe it might be more of an exception with things going right instead of the countless ways it could go wrong.

I would also like to disclaim that I have no love for publishers and more often than not, they are despicable suits. However, this is the reality of the video games industry which isn't changing in the near future (but I sure hope it does further down the line).

I sort of work in the industry so I feel like publishers are pretty important in getting your game out there. You, as a developer, want to focus your energies in making the best game possible. To make a game successful, there is a whole gamut of tasks which are necessary but are a pain to do such as finding a QA team, finding someone to do localisation, porting your game to other platforms if needed, marketing, and in a good bunch of cases providing funding.

The last part is where things get ugly. Because publishers are the ones who are giving you the money to complete your game, you are naturally beholden to the timelines and goals that they set. Good publishers listen to the developers because good games make good money. Then there are fucks like Sony management here and whoever was at embracer group who have never played a game in the last ten years and are in the position because of their MBA degree. There are a bunch of decent publishers out there like Devolver but naturally they are going to be picky with their titles. For the vast majority, going with whoever is going to give you the money and support is the way forward.

Thanks to FIA for giving us sprint races so we can only have one practice session a week.

I think these are fairly popular in their circles but I will take every opportunity to recommend sleeping dogs and judgement. Played both fairly recently and the plot is amazing and action is satisfying. Highly recommend putting them on your wishlist so you can pick them up on a sale.
