I'm similar, but replace the answer to all of those questions with "make a coffee". I feel sorry for my kidneys.

Well yeah, duh. Of course people can do what they want. Criticizing Musk's (or anybodies) actions is not tantamount to trying to say he shouldn't be allowed to do them (except for the stuff he actually shouldn't be allowed

If he steps down now his sycophants will just be able to claim that as the cause for the company further collapsing after he leaves, and not the braindead management decisions he's been making up to this point.

Honestly, I'd read the first one. Trashy detective fiction that's kinda self aware sounds great.

That seems to be the most common fear, but I can't see devs moving their apps off the default app store - that would be a terrible move for sales. The only apps that are going to be available on third party app stores but not on the

"Free Speech Absolutism" is just another conservative boondoggle that they can endlessly talk about to attract voters. Of course actually trying to put it in practice immediately falls apart, but that's not the point. Nobody

See Vampire Survivors for an example of a recent game with pretty atrocious visuals that's still done really well.

I wonder if you could fix the incentives by giving everyone multiple "lives", and half penalizing players who went right before the one who lost the fort.

I've always watched streamers mostly based on the personality rather than whatever game they happen to be playing. If anything it's more interesting to watch someone I'm familiar with try out a new game. Looking at stats th

Dwarf Fortress hot potato is fun. Each player takes care of the fort for N hours, and then passes it on to the next player. Every time someone manages to lose the fort to FUN! they're eliminated and the remaining players start up a new

Yeah this is a fair take too. Riot seems to have been largely successful in this approach with Valorant. Blizzard tried with Overwatch but imo they tried to push an overly structured approach with too much top down control way too far.

I don't think it really is a chicken and egg problem though - hardly any of the competitive scenes for the biggest games historically got bootrapped like this: Counterstrike: Organic community, Valve only started putting effort/mo

The regional model definitely doesn't make sense for video games given their non physical nature. At a continent/country level it does (because people too far away wouldn't be playing together because of latency). Fighting ga

This is only a problem because businesses are trying to prop up competitive scenes for arbitrary games from nothing, which is a silly way to go about this. They're games, people play them for fun. Let the competitive scene develop orga

They're only printing money because of the brand recognition and goodwill back from when they still made good games. That isn't going to last forever.

AoE4 is actually pretty good too. The change to make walls only destroyable by siege weapons changes up the dynamics in an interesting way.

Only if you just want to play singleplayer. If you're into multiplayer and not already an expert at Starcraft or AoE2 then good luck finding games around your skill level.

Yeah, I wish MS could buy Blizzard from Activision rather than acquiring both of them. But I suspect they're mostly doing it to get Call of Duty so that wouldn't really work.

I've probably played a few hundred hours of minecraft and never tried to reach the ending because I spend all my time building slight variations of the same cool wizards spire, and designing redstone minecart subways.

I assume the restriction is file system related. It's probably not always cheap to calculate the full size of a directory, especially if it's heavily nested. Windows will tell you the size of a dir in the right click -> proper
