With regards to this specific project, I think the best case scenario would be a bunch of developers taking the code and using it as a starting point, going through it with a fine-toothed comb and re-writing however much needs to be re-written. There’s never been a viable competitor to Adobe’s suite, and if this results in that, then we can at least applaud the outcome if not the methodology.
I’d eat it. Hopefully llama isn’t the only outcome but I’d roll the dice.
Well, their app icons are superior, at least.
Geez, I’d take that deal regardless of which lizard. There’s some that’re better than others, but fuck, that’s a dream regardless! :)
Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
God, I’ve never wanted to work for Aperture Science more than in this scenario.
Their machine spirits scream in agony each time their aging hands are forced into new positions.
Hot take: I’d much rather have Dwight as a friend than Jim. He’s eccentric and he’s the butt of the jokes, but he’s shown to be an incredibly reliable friend. He’s always there to help any time someone asks, he’s knowledgeable about a lot of practical matters and is happy to share that knowledge, he’s enthusiastic about his interests, and he’s loyal to his friends. Jim might have some of those traits, too, but we don’t really see it - his primary personality trait is just being a charismatic jokester.
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
I thought it worked well before the first Avengers movie… Each hero had their own movie with no real continuity other than the post-credits scene, and then Avengers - and only Avengers - assumed you’d seen the previous ones. The movies were coming out at a reasonable cadence and there was plenty of time to get up to speed. Then they just went off the rails - interconnected continuity even between individual heroes’ movies and a crazy fast release schedule meant you were either a superfan or you were lost.
I ended up just watching them at a rate of 1-2 a week leading up to Endgame to get caught up, but it was just way too much.
Just went and looked it up, and there were another 16 films leading up to Doomsday over 5 years. They’re just releasing things faster and faster. Who can (or even wants to) keep up with that?
Muchly.
Oh god that would burn so badly.
Yeah, I could honestly watch 3 hours of Rocket just being Rocket and be perfectly happy with the time spent.
Yeah, if OP enjoyed Guardians 1-2, and then skipped 3, they really missed out.
Assuming you’re serious, which I’m not entirely sure you are, S being above A originally had Japanese origins where the character it represents means ‘Excellent’, and on English lists it typically means ‘Superlative’ (or any similar word starting with S, like Superb or Super). This is not a new thing.
Regardless, this is an S+ tier ragebait shitpost and clearly it’s having its desired effect.
This is the one that both the profile pic and the banner are from!
They should just buy ad spots explaining Roko’s Basilisk in detail when they IPO. “Unfortunately this is out of our hands, now, but you can still make your support known by buying shares now.”
I agree with you, but this also raises an interesting question. Personally, I wouldn’t consider it a consent issue if someone sent the usual “two circles and an oval” ‘dick’ drawing, or an eggplant emoji… Rude and crass, maybe, but not any more of a consent issue than sending any other non-sexual unsolicited pic would be, which suggests that there’s a level of caricature and lack of fidelity in which it’s okay… I wonder where that line is?
I think there’s a big difference between that and doing it when it’s about a person. I’d imagine the conversation was something like “My husband can’t cook at all, how’s yours?” and she responded that he’s great while the other women agreed that their husbands were awful. Would you instead make your husband sound worse than he is just to fit in with the group? How would you feel about it if it got back to him that you’d said that? Or, conversely, how would you feel about it if you found out that your SO was bad-mouthing you to their friends behind your back just to fit in?
I know for me, if I found out that my wife was complimenting something I did to her friends, that would make my day; if I found out she was downplaying something I thought I did well, it would make me feel pretty awful.
I get what they’re trying to say, but it’s a weird take.
If you know what you’re looking for, finding a game on Steam is trivial. You type in the name, you find the game. Any company can do external advertising, and if someone finds out about their game and wants to buy it on Steam, they can do that.
The ‘issue’ is that there’s tens of thousands of games on Steam so if you’re relying on Steam to advertise your game, or relying on people just happening across it, you’re going to be out of luck if you’re not a big title, and honestly, I don’t think that’s Steam’s problem. In fact, I’d argue that Steam is doing more than they could reasonably be expected to do - they’re a storefront, and obviously what they want to promote visibility on is the products that’re going to sell the best. The fact that they have things like curators and ‘For You’ recommendations and sales and things that smaller developers can use to increase visibility on their games is more than most storefronts offer. If you want to find something in itch.io, for instance, and you don’t know what you’re searching for, it’s extremely difficult. Same goes for Humble, and to a lesser extent GoG.
So I guess my feeling is, yes, it’s a problem, but it seems to be set up often times as Steam’s problem, and I don’t think it is.
