Lovely game tbh, can recommend if you just wanna have something to do for a while without thinking too much.

Ok well fuck that CeO with a rusty spoon then.

Cute rogue like with great humor. Kinda sinking a lot of hours into it rn…

I’ve played the game when it was free for a while and I’m wondering why this doesn’t happen more often. The game is a pile of huge gameplay concepts, wasted potential, repetitive mechanics and a ton of bugs. I like what it could be but we’ve lived in that illusion long enough, chances are this will stay in development and eventually just cease to exist.

There’s a very small chance it will get officially released but honestly nothing I even have to consider.

If only the developers started to to finish and polish parts of the game…

Good to know they keep going their own way. We got more than enough carbon copy games nowadays, always excited for something unique.

Don’t forget the other details about war crimes against Palestinians and Palestinians living in towns caged in, and getting assaulted day in and day out through the fence by Israelites. And the constant harassment online. And Israelites taking over their homes forcefully. And them having no place to live.

I guess sometimes you can get lost in the details. My bad.

Sounds about right.

The publisher has been pressing hard on paid stuff in payday 2 and payday 3 didn’t have enough content / solid enough gameplay to replace it. Also there’s denuvo, and denuvo is not giving a great first impression.

Right. The normal thing to do is either to concede your VP race, or concede your hard-line position.

But he is just saying “I learned I need to convince people harder that I’m right.” Which is bat shit crazy.

Yeah I had to realize that as well at some point.

Used to play games and I was so focused on gameplay, I always thought “why even have a lot of art in there”. But then you realize if the art sucks, you wouldn’t even be giving it a chance.

And this extends to skins and stuff. If it’s “just cosmetics”, that still means there is some art that is now hidden unless you throw money at your screen. And depending on how much it is, the game might be way too boring without it. So you’re still buying bits of a game after the fact. And voila, we’re back to the reasons why DLCs suck.

I mean you are right to some degree, but considering there’s way worse stuff to get riled up about, I think we mostly have our priorities straight, and I have no issues with that.

I did, and I disagree with their decisions.

I can condense their article down to “we need money, and we can get it through ads, so we built our own ad network to preserve privacy”.

But I don’t like that. This decision does not exist in a vacuum. This comes after a number of other decisions leading me to believe they are shifting priority to making a profit. Telemetry being opt-out, pocket, selling ads on home screen, …

This is the icing on a shit cake and I’m sorry, Mozilla destroyed their value proposition about half way into their chain of bad decisions.

If you still wanna use Firefox, fine. I don’t care about that. I don’t understand why, but that’s ok, it’s your god damn decision. But I wanna alert everyone else that Mozilla is not who they used to be and it’s time to reevaluate why you use the browser you do.

Saying this is an ignorant take is invalidating all the experiences I’ve had configuring Firefox back to being privacy friendly, and I don’t appreciate you calling me ignorant for that. If you disagree, that’s fair, but you can do it without attacking my credibility. And doing so by giving actual reasons would definitely help your case.

What a banger

Been called an idiot for saying that I wouldn’t trust Firefox as far as I can throw it like 2 months ago after they made telemetry opt out.

I can’t believe that someone who is privacy conscientious would just stick to their guns rather than watching out for their privacy.

I just hope someone else picks up the shards and runs with it and then we can all just focus on making them better instead of getting riled up over a god damn browser lol.

Been coding up a little dashboard in the last week, and it’s been making me around 30% more efficient.

And you are right, it’s mostly taking away the boring parts, which is awesome.

Yeah the perfect amount of stupid where you actually wanna try to get good at the game. It’s awesome.

Been using copilot and another smaller AI model for hobby projects. Both of them slowed me down as much as they helped me with my code.

Now I’ve switched to supermaven free tier, and it’s actually net positive for me.

It’s not like it’s writing whole functions for me, but it’s actually quite context sensitive when it comes to defining functions and using them with the same parameters and things like that. I won’t say I am 50% faster, but I could easily attribute a 30% development boost to it. Now mind you, for bug fixes and bug prevention that’s back down to a 5% boost in speed, but that’s still a net positive, so I’ll take that.

Played it on PC and it’s really cool, although I was hesitant at first considering it looks a bit like those cookie cutter role based rpgs that just want to rent a spot in your wallet.

Yeah honestly this makes a lot of sense to me.

Their lawyers are vocally rubbing their hands rn

Right after Ubisoft added an offline mode for the crew 2 iirc
