Oh finally, we were all so worried about the poor shareholders suffering from this! /s

It’s the law of ad equilibrium.

Adquilibrium must be achieved!

Ah see, your mistake was using Bing. They only said they’ll reduce W11 ads, not Bing ads! 🙃

And how many fps does it run after the crash?

I mean they’re not laid off, so the money should still go to them, no? I read on <crap-site> that they ran out of money like 3 weeks before the release date, so hopefully with what a huge success this is, once the money gets banked over they’ll be back in business? :<

Yeah they’ve been doing at least some of the code “testing” with AI for a while now IIRC. overclock3D had an article about it quite a while ago.

It did quite genuinely get me to not buy the game and just get The Alters instead at the time I was considering it. Fantastic game, absolutely worth the cost of not buying Hitman.

This is so wild to me. Like this is very much - intentionally causing bodily harm to the kid - a reason you should have your kids taken away from you.

Ah, IMO SoM is actually good. Quite good. It’s not super noteworthy, but it’s like the Riven games or so? Good AA stuff.

Oy u got a loicens for tha magic thar, mate?!

It is often simply a legal thing. In many countries, laws have clauses for the legality of written notification, but no amendments or specification about how this works for a digital notification.

Boy do I have bad news for you. 🤣

They are competent, so that naturally just failed to align with Netflix’s business principles.

I wish their games were more readily playable. :<

I got three Android TVs, including a TCL 75" I just bought last year. I can’t play Netflix Games on any of them. The only device I can do that on is an old Google dongle. Wild.

Yeah from the explanation I kinda feel for the dev, they gotta be inundated in PRs.

I suspect someone will continue working from the current codebase?

It also adds that most people who are “invested” in the Fediverse don’t realize to what absurd degree the notion of caring about decentralization or open source doesn’t matter to many people they try to get interested. For whom their problems are “We need more formula for the kid” or “Shit I gotta visit the family on the weekend and that’s also the only days we could possibly work on getting that leaking pipe fixed, ever”.

People have problems that need fixes. Their social media being a centralized one isn’t a problem to them - it works right now. It’s a solved problem. Trying to inject another problem to care about into their life will often actively aggravate people, and for understandable reasons: They got enough of them already.
Plus, in particular in current times, very serious very IRL issues. On multiple levels. Caring about Reddit vs Piefed or so is so far down the list, to most it feels ludicrous that this ought to be an issue to anybody at all.

I guess yeah this wouldn’t be common knowledge for most. I grew up around the area so I had heard this plenty before.

Fascinating story behind early coffee filters and coffee makers, anyways.

Ah, that’d in part explain why mastodon would readily kick him off, yes.

That a tiny minority might have heard the name before (“bestselling” really doesn’t mean as much as some people think).
