Ye gods. A new GTA game should not take THIRTEEN YEARS to come out. The games make more money than Portugal - how is their project pipeline this bad?
Are we looking at less than one GTA game per *decade* now?
I feel like this console generation has dragged on and on with so few exciting new games. I’ve been waiting to buy either a PS5 or a Series X and when I look down the exclusive lists I sigh with boredom. What happened? Was it games as a service that happened?
The previous generation wasn’t anything super exciting, but it feels like we’re just trending downwards. On consoles I want big, flashy experiences, not indy games. Nothing against indies, of course, but I can play those on my Steam Deck.
Optimistically priced, as I like to think of it.
I can get a second hand one from CEX today for £350!
Is there a version of this that wasn’t awkwardly resized?
Is it going to be the size of a small fridge like the base model?
I’m part of the admin team for a group on Facebook dedicated to a niche wargame. Anyone can apply to join but there is an entry question. The question itself tells the user where to find the answer (it’s both on Wikipedia and in the rules of the group!). We still get people that either don’t answer or put something like “I can’t be bothered looking it up”.
Those people do not get to join.
I’m firmly of the belief that if people are working to maintain a space for you then it’s on you to put a bare minimum of effort in to be allowed to use that space. We curate the group to keep content on topic and try to keep it a nice place to be.
The nuance is of course in what level of gatekeeping is healthy.
I don’t like that there’s so few people questioning the core concept of “one platform for everyone”.
Why does it have to appeal to everyone? Why can’t its audience be a subset of humanity who like nerdy shit? It’s what I liked about Reddit in the early years - it wasn’t completely inaccessible but it was niche enough that there was a bit of a filter, allowing me to find content and people that appealed to me.
Aiming for lowest common denominator doesn’t seem like a good idea to me.
I’ve been enjoying Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. It’s got just the right level of compulsivity to keep me playing without destroying my life. Pretty relaxing, to be honest, although I don’t think “easy” mode is actually easy!
I suppose at some point I should learn Node.js and other JS-related stuff. I speak vanilla JS but I’ve not really touched frameworks. Anyway, thank you for the recommendation.
I mostly find the design of WP clunky as all hell. I’d like to add some features to my site and doing so feels tremendously awkward. Learning how to implement stuff in their way of doing things doesn’t feel worthwhile to me, I guess.
I suppose what I’m looking for is a lightweight, multi-user CMS, with support for both static pages and a blog. If the blog could support (at least one-way) federation that’d be a bonus. It should ideally be built to work with both desktop and mobile devices (so that I can customise the look rather than build it from scratch).
It’s something I could build from scratch but if I can do it then I’m sure lots of more skilled people have done it better!
Same boat here. I had some good times with it but these days it seems to be a bloated mess. Are there any good, lightweight alternatives these days?
Can the next step be deprecating Discord entirely? Trash.
Oh yeah, they made a third one, didn’t they?
Don’t enable his embarrassing nonsense by calling Twitter “X”.
I don’t want a private company controlling government email servers, why would I want them to control government social media platforms?
They lost me when they moved to algorithmically-driven rather than chronological. The notion that a feature like this has to be added is mad.
I wonder if GTA VI will actually be a finished game? It felt very weird playing through GTA V and encountering mechanics that went nowhere. I’ve zero interest in multi-player GTA.
He used to be on a podcast I listen to (Bad Voltage) and there was an episode (pre-pandemic) where he came out as anti-vaccinations. I didn’t listen to the show again until he left. I have zero time for people who think they know better than their children’s doctors.
