What makes it worse is that, as far as I know, the players trying it actually like the gameplay, but found the game itself to still be dull. The entire gameplay apparently was made solely on market analysis, with very little individual development taking place.

I think this highlights an interesting phenomenon also seen in “The most wanted song” and “the most unwanted song”, two songs made by scientific research of people’s preferences of music, where “the most wanted song” sounds nice, but is rather bland whereas “the most unwanted song” sticks out much more, a trainwreck you can’t look away from, and is a good song in the same way “The Room” is a good movie.

It seems it’s the flaws, the impurities, are what make games more interesting, more fun.

Alternatively you can also use aluminium. Snails have a natural allergy to aluminium due to a reaction happening between the metal and their slime. Therefore they will avoid aluminium at all cost.

He actually considered abandoning the projects multiple times, mainly by hoping for a sign of God. However considering that none of his customers ever questioned the behemoth of a vehicle under a tarp and nobody told authorities about his strange behaviour, he saw it as God giving him the OK, as in his eyes, God would’ve acted upon his risky maneuvers to get caught.

Dude really tried his best to convince himself to stop, yet Lady Luck seemed to have wanted otherwise.

It’s also a miracle that he didn’t hurt a single soul, other than himself.

As well as the proportions being flipped, resulting in the now iconic look. IIRC it was supposed to be a pig initially.

Alternatively tgey could use the Rimworld model: release DLCs that heavily change how you play the game, allowing you to tailor the game to your wants and needs that way.

Both are authentic, with the vinegar variant being the Bavarian/Swabian variant. Not sure where the mayo variant came from however.

I do think it’s worth the money however, especially since it allows you to cutomize your search results by white-/blacklisting sites and making certain sites rank higher or lower based on your direct feedback. Plus, I like their approach to openness and considerations on how to improve searching without bogging down the standard search.

That is very true, especially when it comes to any administrative task. However I’d argue that these jobs are less likely to be replaced, as these jobs are born out of a system that is favoring bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy over efficiency. Challenging that system would result in a shift in the power dynamics, often towards subordinates, which, of course, wouldn’t really be accepted by leading positions.

Vintage Story is nice but fuck those bears. Zero chill and you either have to relocate or do continuous kamikaze charges just to get rid of them.

Funnily enough, some prions like those responsible for CWD will not be killed via cooking, but the infected material has to be incinerated to get rid of it.

Generally, they offer a giant infrastruture that no other game selling platform offers:

• cloud saving
• community hub for sharing user content
• inbuilt forum
• mod database
• better shop visibility through intelligent algorithms
• community events like NEXT fest

overall, you get what you pay for.

Because even the official name of the problem contains it.

Honestly it’s pretty sad how Viruses changed from a sort of artform to just a money making scheme / espionage tools.

AFAIK, the only publicly available build is an outdated image based on debian instead of arch and not really worth running due to its state.

Linus Torvals talk at the Aalto University. Specifically a segment where he talks about how hard it is to work with Nvidia when it comes to the Linux kernel.

And it wasn’t the goal to appease the community, but the shareholders.

They wouldn’t understand why a new product isn’t earning like gangbusters when it’s a sequel to a live service game. They only see a flop that “has to leech off” the profits of its predecessors, making it a liability in the eyes of those people. They mostly care about short term profits, not long term strategies.

You could also do the Overwatch thing and shut down the servers of the previous game so people either have to accept the new game or leave. Solves the problem in the eyes of the executives.

One thing I would say justifies a new game is when you want to resolve a problem that’s ingrained in the existing content, making these changes fight with the majority of the game. A new iteration, a clean slate, can help with that a lot.

This sounds more like more of a holdout shooter in the vein of COD Zombies and KF than more objective-based shooters like L4D (and Payday and Deep Rock Galactic, to name some other games in that category).

I find it annoying when outlets try to compare anything horde shooter based with L4D. It harms the game they are talking about, since these games can’t compete with the more quiet yet tense moments and their fallout L4D offers due to their design.
