It’s not even that though. The developers could have been amazing for all we know but great devs doesn’t help a paid game in a genre that already has too many games in it, most of which are free. This is especially so when the publisher does absolutely zero advertising for it past the initial announcement trailer.
Hey did you know that any JSON file is also a valid YAML file? I bet you’ll love YAML a lot more now that you have this information
I haven’t checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you’ll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.
You’re not wrong but it’s not like it’s unprecedented. North Korea already does this with Red Star OS. It’s just Linux with a bunch of spyware and government tracking/surveillance on top (edit: it’s also definitely not open source)
It won’t be open source. Who’s gonna sue Russia for license violation?
Smh, it’s spelt vim by the way
It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That’s how foreign languages work.
How is the word pronounced though?
Checking in with my regularly scheduled F-Droid superiority post. Free, feature-rich, and no ads/trackers.
In all seriousness though, there are a lot of great FOSS apps on the stock repos and the IzzyOnDroid repos. Auxio (mp3 player) and Breezy Weather are probably my favorites at the moment.
Fair enough, I also looked through the code though and it looks like everything is done locally
It also isn’t actually in the code? That url isn’t the actual name of the app (parallax vs pallax) and from what I can tell looking through the code, that line doesn’t actually exist anywhere in it.
Edit: also the URL doesn’t exist anywhere in the code
I think the answer is that it’s not actually there. The typo in the app name is another giveaway (parallax vs the app name, pallax)
Edit: also,
Cable isn’t the same as OTA but from a viewer standpoint they’re both live TV. Live TV in the US is basically unwatchable unless you really like sports or 24/7 news commentary (even then live news is usually also available through phone apps) and don’t mind being interrupted by ads every 2 minutes.
Anything else is better watched with torrents/piracy streaming sites. They don’t stop the show to serve some random combination of medicine, home insurance, and car ads.
Chat is he being serious?
Edit: Chat, look at his comment history, he was being serious
I was trying to look more into game dev crunch at Nintendo and the most recent articles I could find were about Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask (all for the Nintendo 64) and Metroid Prime (for the GameCube). From what I can tell all of their recent games have been delayed instead of forcing crunch.
That being said the difference in work culture means they probably still have longer hours but they aren’t giving their developers actual PTSD like EA and Activision. It is really sad that the bar for AAA game devs is not having devs hospitalized from overworking. Hopefully more game dev and software dev companies can meaningfully unionize to combat that.
Calling odyssey Mario 64 v2 is like calling Doom Eternal Doom 1993 v3. There are a LOT of changes they’ve made to 3D Mario games mechanically that makes Odyssey a much better platformer than even Galaxy and Sunshine, let alone Mario 64. Yeah, if you look at the story it’s still a Mario game. But if you’re playing a platformer for the story then you’re fundamentally not the audience for a Mario game (or really a good portion of 2D/3D platformers)
I personally despise Nintendo as a company for all of their legal nonsense but I will admit that besides the way Game Freak ruined Pokemon, most of their first party titles are pretty good games.
From what I can tell they are also one of the only large game publishers that shows any amount of care for their game devs. Ignoring the fake Miyamoto quote about rushed games, they’ve also said in interviews that they want developers to have work-life balances and that they would rather delay games instead of having crunches. The only examples of crunch I could find were (ironically enough) Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, and the original Metroid Prime. (If there are more recent ones my opinion of them would probably be the opposite though)
The article is clickbaited with an out-of-context quote. He isn’t making an excuse, he’s saying that it was worth saving Tango (and Hi-Fi rush) for their originality and artistic value, even though he says it might not technically be profitable from an acquisition standpoint
Tbf this title is incredibly clickbaited. In the actual article they say they bought Tango and Hi-Fi rush because they thought the art was worth keeping alive, not because it would make money.
Kagi is no better than Mozilla though. They even bought a T-shirt factory lol https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html
It got revived also! They’re back on F-droid as well, not sure about it being the same developer as this though since I don’t use friendica
