Given how much squenix struggles with changing its development practices, I would be very surprised if they actually got there.

Oh please no, Johnny was one of the worst parts of the game.

Esc :q for closing if you didn’t modify anything, :!q for closing and discarding any changes you made and:wq for closing and writing the changes to the file.

Yup, lemmy users frequently seem to have this strange idea that lemmy is somehow representative of the Nintendo customer base. I agree that I find Nintendo’s business practices terrible and their last Pokemon mainline title was frankly boring and uninteresting. But the reality is also that Scarlet/Violet was the second-best selling Pokemon game ever.

Yup, I remember even back in the print era there was significant criticism about the relationships between games publishers and various magazines resulting in what was essentially advertising disguised as articles. Payment was either indirect (exclusive access to preview builds etc) or direct via in-magazine advertising. Can’t badmouth the big flagship game releases too much when EA just paid big bucks to advertise the very same title for the next view editions.

So they are -that - desperate now.

The AI stuff might genuinely factor into it, I largely don’t use it myself but from what I understand from some colleagues it’s churning out decent react and co, while other languages can have mixed results.

Honestly my greatest fear for the game is that it’s just bland. I can live with a flawed game (the original VTMB certainly could be called a flawed game itself after all.), but I think blandness would be the real killer for me.

Wonder if they copied that from their pitch deck or something, I don’t think I have ever seen that touted as a feature in any other context.

Nah it couldn’t, the DS only supported its own and GBA cartridges.

Nope, because review bombing doesn’t exist on steam. You have to own the game to review it. A customer leaving a negative review is not review bombing.

I presume it’s a mix of things, there are near daily changes making services worse for consumers in one way or another, which fuels the relevancy of Doctorows writing on the one hand and the desire of people to be agreed with on the other.

1. What in the world are you doing that’d cause grub to get “fucked up” by running an update.
2. Just use -Syu, not -Syyu, the latter is for when you swap mirrors or your local index is broken.

Molyneaux is of course an extreme case, but I do find it remarkable how many of these “legends” of old utterly failed to replicate their success later down the line. Romero, Mitsoda, Roberts, so many more, all in the lamplight for their success in the 90s to very early 2000s, but utterly unable to live up to their reputation for near 3 decades after.

I have vague memories of playing the demo on a friend’s playstation, I think at the time I was kinda disappointed that you only got to play the fuchikoma.

Yeah a lot of the comments I have seen are outright bizarre, EA won’t change in any noticeable form. It’s maximum profit extraction now and it will remain maximum profit extraction after.

Yup, the baseband modem does what it’s firmware tells it to, and that’s entirely independent from the phone’s software. And open baseband modems to my knowledge don’t exist.

Yup, the fediverse has a lot of things still to solve and figure out before it goes anywhere. I have little faith that present moderation would scale well if there was a massive growth in the userbase. And then there’s the other issue. There’s a discussion on the peertube github for two years now on how to keep instances from dying.
