It's still more than a few hundred. I don't remember how big the leaked doc was but it wasn't in the thousands, it was bigger. Your statement can be true while the statement of the one I responded to be incorrect at the same time.

I mean, you comment is true and refutes nothing I said.

Given that the leak was the annual earnings from subs your question is irrelevant since it shows that the total average amounts enough.

as the other commenter said, there's very little science fiction in star wars. It's more fantastical creatures and magic and shit. it's actually fantasy. Star trek however, that's scify

It's way more than a few hundred. What leaked was the twitch subscriber payout, which doesn't count all the money spent on bits. Then there's also sponsorships and youtube content.

I follow several Path of Exile streamers, and when that released they said that that was not the total payout. They usually do some video guides of builds for the game that, alongside twitch generates content for them. Then there's also sponsors for gaming rigs and other kind of stuff, sponsors to try new games... Maybe it's PoE specifically but even streamers that oscillate between 200-800, maybe 1k viewers when there's no other PoE streamer online earned more that minimum wage with just the twitch payout (given the country they live in ofc).

once you downloaded the game you can copy it into a pendrive, upload it into mega or whatever storage and use it. I don't get why y'all get so held up at the fact that steam might stop offering infinite downloads. Once you have downloaded the game you are free to burn it or store it wherever! This is different from streaming music for example, since with music you never have a local copy you can work with.

so even if you download it once and think that you can now just transfer the game from one PC to another without an internet connection or without Steam, you can't.

You can. I have several games where I can literally copy the game folder into another computer, press the executable and be able to play it offline. Terraria, vampire survivors, stardew valley, pathfinder: WOTR, Grim Dawn, AoE2... And more. I literally have "backup" zips of several path versions of grim dawn to play different mods because I'm too lazy to patch the game each time I want to replay different versions.

DRM free and actual ownership means physical

Once the game it's in your system it's as physical as it can get. There's no difference of storage in your disk, a pendrive, an external drive or an optical CD. You give the example of GoG, there's plenty games in steam that once "installed" have all the files in the game folder and you can easily move them.

Yeah I guess that works too. In any case, I agree that it's a good joke.

This not the joke, the joke is that the snail put a 60 minute timer and is still in a hurry to escape because of how slow it is.

Wasn't recently a resolution in the EU to allow apple to have alternative app stores and thus allow side loading?

So, go with garuda or endeavouros, they have great installers and the community is pretty supportive.

O hate regular smoke smell, but weirdly I prefer it to flavoured e-smokes. My brain is telling me that that's artificial as fuck and I should stay clear. And it's right.

I sure as hell don't like breathing secondhand smoke while I walk down the street. If you want to breathe petroleum that's on you but do it where you don't give secondhand cancer to others, thanks.

Yoshi and the villager (the rocket dude).

Because as complex and hard to decipher as it is, all AI does is inference. Doing inference with graphics is something that has been perfected through decades and is worked on heavily.

Quests and dialogues rely more on the creative thinking of writers, having a satisfying side quest is quite hard and leaving a text generator engine that task is a huge pitfall. It has it's use in generating some bulk texts that can then be proofread, but generating text live? Hell no. Plus, what about voice acting? Will you also steal actors voices so that the garbage text generated is said by "not scarlet johansson" v3? If you think AI will generate smarter behaviours your definition of smart and mine really differ. Will AI be able to rig animations and infer correct rig positions so that the NPC features line up with what they are saying? Mocap and voice acting is done heavily in big productions to get that.

How dare you even think of dr*g dealing? It's human trafficking!!

I've beaten the original and the rerelease several times. it's pretty generic but the combat animations are cool enough to give it a go when I'm bored. I usually play it on the hardest difficulty but the bow charged spread attack works like a shotgun so it's very easy to stunlock enemies.

It's one of those games where you can overpower enemies quite easily if you prepare, I would not play it on easy though, if the story is bland and the combat is braindead, what's the point of the game?

Because it was the west that decided to invade in 2014, it was the west that made Ukraine feel so fucking vulnerable for 8 years that they decided to turn into NATO, and then it was the west again who sent tanks into Kiev. Yeah.

I'm not blind to not see that this benefits the US, but honestly, it looks like an opportunity for the west, not something they provoked. If Russia didn't want the west to benefit so much from it maybe they shouldn't have had invaded in 2014 because the people of a separate sovereign country revolted against the Russian puppet President.

Oh so you don't care about the people then, got it. You don't care about the invaded people. If your stance is anti US, you are happy. Even if that's a trash stance, at least you are consistent I guess.

It's not surprising though, why would a leader not want their land back? Crymea was invaded in 2014, it's only been 10 years.

Even of the eye notices it, it's not really a big deal most of the time unless you play some real time multiplayer game, and going from 60 to 120 literally doubles the amount of frames that the GPU needs to process, thus raising the GPU requirement for no fucking reason 99% of the time.

Electric scooters did take off though, and you don't need to pedal nor balance the thing.
