Is that price at full retail price or cost of parts. Either way, sounds like someone misjudged the market by a lot and needs to be ejected from their CEO role.

about 20 years ago. Early 2000s I started messing around with Redhat and was suprised that a full OS that did most of the windows things was available for free. when Ubuntu gained traction I jumped on that and tried distro hopping a bit before landing aolidly on Debian derivatives as my linux of choice. I remember catching a ban in WoW because WINE was detected by their anti cheat for a while.

Not really, people just lack the imagination or desire to create their own characters. It’s a lot easier to tell a bot “you are X from the show X” and let it use its ill gotten knowledge to fill in the personality than it is to write a whole personality prompt.

1bn would be a good fine. Well beyond a cost of business fine and something that should make shareholders and investors reconsider where they put their money.

It would be nice to have it be a per infraction or per day fine though.

When I said 3rd party I meant non mojang jars, not hosting providors

Not when compared to the third party servers. Not only do they run better but they give the option of using plugins or mods to further improve performance and enhance gameplay.

You can use a quest with steam VR, it’s not as jailed as people think but without linking to a PC it is pretty content poor. There are good games for VR but nothing that really screams “This is worth the extra $300+ to get a headset to play it”. At least not to me, someone who had a Vive and currently has a quest 3.

Thank you, i haven’t even made it past act 1 because if this. I’ll try the sound stuff tonight.

I keep getting lag in PoE2 for no reason. Everything will be running smooth and I’ll suddenly have a half second delay on inputs. My computer is better than the recommended specs so I can only assume there is some optimization they need to do still.

PoE1 blew the pants off Diablo 4 even with its feature bloat.

I’ve seen a few but none of them have really been great. They tend to focus on the microbe phase but don’t really do it well. I think Spore killed a genera that didn’t exist yet and should be given a second chance.

At launch yeah, Reaper of Souls changed it into a really good game. I spent $100 on Diablo 4 and definitely regret that.

VR in general, there is no killer app, no thing that makes VR worth the cost. The peak of VR is probably Beat Saber. I have a quest 3 and I just use it to watch TV in bed without disturbing my wife. It’s nice having a giant video display but not useful for most people.

I feel you, my first printer was garbage, my second one was SLOW, the one I bought last year is fantastic and it was cheap. You still have to go through some of the processes like bed leveling but new ones have some sensors that tell you where it isn’t level and adds a height map to the print to compensate for an uneven surface. It prints in 1 hour what took my old printer 11 hours to print. Most slicers are free and don’t require a key or payment to access advanced features. FDM printing is probably as user friendly as it’s going to get.

On the flip side, FDM printing isn’t super useful. You can make a bunch of random stuff but it’s mostly just nick nacks. Resin printing is way more useful but also way less user friendly. I plan to dive into resin printing this year because I’ve been doing 3D modeling and want to make miniatures and stuff for wargames, dice, and dioramas.

Either way, it’s absolutely useless if you have no use for it.

After the turn around they made with NMS, I’m actually looking forward to their fantasy game. I was already on the “don’t preorder stuff” squad when NMS came out but I still shared the disappointment that everyone who bought it felt.

I got the remake that Razer made after they bought Ouya. I still use the controller it came with…

It was kinda like the launch of No Man’s Sky. Tons of hype, failure to deliver.

This actually gives me some confidence in my programming skill level.
