On the other hand, the small team were taking a cut from every monetized server. Literally profiting millions of off Rockstar's work. If servers don't charge for entry, they charge for extra content R* developed for and sells in

Surprising they didn't go the legal route, it must have made more sense just to follow the money. Popular servers have monthly revenue in the millions from a mix of 'donations' and deals with steamers. Cfx takes a 'donat

WeChat, unlike TikTok, is known to be directly controlled by the Chinese state. It's not a secret. Why wouldn't it already be banned on government devices?

I don't agree with the premise. You didn't want to skip the train ride in Half-Life, or Wheatley's witty instruction in Portal 2. When a tutorial is done well it's seamlessly integrated with the narrative, such that you

They are both incredible creations in their own right, but Terraria is certainly a more impressive game so I think it makes a better platform for it.

"(78%) of Britons think disruptive protest hinders activists’ causes". By that measure, they are not effective. What really helps any protest succeed is numbers. You have to be too big to ignore. That's not going to happen wh

It's a cycle, I was in the last wave in 2018. At some point most developers would realise that chain-scaling issues would prevent profit. They either left to go work for FAANG, or transitioned to working directly on scaling. There are

It's an ERC-20 token wallet. You need Ethereum gas to send, and your receiver needs Ethereum gas to make any further transaction. It sure would be nice if the end user shouldn't have to care about implementation details, but that

From a technical perspective, there is simply no comparison. SL's graphics are inferior to those games in every way. Second life can look nice I'm specific scenes, but that's in spite of the dated graphics tech.

The issue here is GPT-3/4 were trained on bullshit. Surely bullshit is the desired and expected outcome when you train your model on bullshit Reddit comments.

I don't see a problem. It's not like there are pictures of race cars in their branding or anything else that might confuse a consumer. e.g. the design of the site is about as far from anything motorsport as possible.
