  • Don't forget, you see way less Nintendo gaming videos and streamers. Because they are greedy and want a cut of what is made. They're not happy with the good word of mouth, they NEED to get paid.

    Also look at this shit with PalWorld. Working to retroactively patten very basic game mechanics because a franchise that refused to evolve got beat by the new kids.

  • Oh I get it. We made the jump from Google Cloud to AWS, and I'm sure there are companies that are even more vendor locked. But a good example of what people can do when they don't have a choice is the new PCI 4.0 roll out that has cost companies millions they wouldn't spend unless made to do so. Will it be a mountain to climb and cost a ton, yeah, but change in the right direction isn't always easy.

    I'm with you, it will be hard, and they need a good system for extensions and the like, with a reasonable time line. But this is good change IMO, even if it's painful.

  • This is why you give notice; this isn't an overnight thing. If anything, this would help strengthen and decentralize hosting platforms while giving a huge amount of business to companies to help them migrate. I think the real shake is going to be those locked into provide IP like Redshift or Fargate.

  • Stock futures plunge after Trump announces ‘Liberation Day’ global tariff agenda

  • I think they just don't understand that we don't pay the tariffs, the country it's coming from pays the tariffs. Right! Right? Guys...

  • There are plenty of providers, this is a little reactionary. I've worked with a local data center for hosting in every state I've lived in.

  • Elon Musk can’t take the heat

    Jump

  • So you're asking me to feel bad, for the richest person on Earth. After he just harmed a ton of people and damaged our country.... All because he has slightly less money, the difference of which no average person could ever dream of?

    No, I don't think I will.

  • Are people in the US aware that they are now definitely a rogue state, or is this fact covered up by the usual patriotism somehow?

    Jump

  • No, you just don't understand tariffs. I think about other countries a lot, like how they have to pay us, like so much money. We're all going to be rich.

  • Unions are rare here and trying to organize anything just gets you fired and jobless. Plus people are struggling just to eat, they can't all strike. It's really not that simple.

  • I live in Utah, it's about 90% people cheering at Trump and 10% very polite demonstrations against the right that are highly criticized. Feels so muted here.

  • Ubisoft scores a legendary ratio against Elon Musk on his own platform—which hopefully marks a final end to all the Assassin's Creed Shadows' culture war nonsense

    Jump

  • I get that you like it for historical accuracy but I'm just saying it wasn't there. The link I gave shows how it never was. It never was accurate man. AC Shadows is just more if the same, not some departure from it.

    Yasuke isn't special. They've done this with tons of people, they did it with Cleopatra for instance. They did it with lots of real people, just look at that link that breaks it down.

  • It's not missing the point like you claim. It's you applying an expectation of realism on a series that never had it.

    it's inconsistent with Ubisoft's previous approach of keeping the events and characters as true to history as good gameplay would allow

    In pervious games they mention DaVinci and his creations for the Assassin's. He was a real person. But he didn't craft weapons for a league of Assassin's. Plenty of their games have historical figures, acting like this is the first one to take liberties is silly.

    but there should maybe be a disclaimer that Yasuke's real role in history is not truly known, but they chose the most fun version of events, even if it's likely untrue.

    As they have done with many events and figures in past games. Someone has already taken the time to break this down in great detail. The TL;DR is they never had historical accuracy like you seem to think, ever.

  • Well read the post again. One girl was furious that raunchy texts were shared. Looks like we've solved the mystery lol.

    But I'm not out here making a legal argument. I'm saying sharing that stuff without consent isn't OK, morally. You don't have to be god to look at something like that and have the guts to say something.

  • Sorry, compromising photos and messages if we want to be pedantic. If you're nit picking the nuance ls of the type of private content shared without someone's consent you've already lost.

  • Yeah, I'm one of those people. I have this apparently strange sensitivity to people sharing intimate photos of others without their consent or knowledge. Feels very exploitative. I'm just one of those people who doesn't like to sit back and let people hurt others like that for the lols of a group chat.

  • I hate to break it to you but the cyclops in AC Odyssey isn't real either. They've never been historical accurate. They are loosely inspired by past events at best.

  • If I see concerning behavior, I feel the need to say something because it's concerning. More girls will be embarrassed, more people could be exploited, it's not ok. I feel like seeing that, knowing you can do something, and choosing not to is pretty close to condoning it. It's not about friend group politics; there are people outside the friend group who are being passed around in that without their knowledge or consent, and that's not ok. I wouldn't care if it was just guys with dark memes.

  • Overly defensive? The comment they were responding to was offensive and made sweeping assumptions. But no problem there? Seems like a case of attack what you don't agree with and give what you agree with a pass. Comes across as a bad faith move.
