  • “The Day Before” Developers Give Up On Kickstarted Game, Already Working On A New One

    Jump

  • Good god that is a hard headline to grok. I thought it had something to do with the actual day prior to something else.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 publishing chief calls out Ubisoft's 'broken strategy': If gamers need to get used to not owning games, 'developers must get used to not having jobs'

    Jump

  • I mean given the massive industry layoffs over the past few years developers are already pretty used to not having jobs.

    I hate how developers are the ones attributed to game industry problems. Decisions like this almost never fall on the developers shoulders, specifically the ownership quote was from their subscription service director. You know... the guy whose job depends on you not wanting to own games.

  • Things like unit tests I just have AI do it all now. Since running the test tells you your coverage you can verify if it got everything or not.

  • Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect

  • Syncthing for Android discontinued

    Jump

  • Exactly. FDroid is a fraction of a percent of Android users. To get syncthing on your device you have to pass a lot of scary looking warnings on the way to get there. This is exactly what the monopoly trials were about.

  • I think the intention was sentient life as having Thanos stop the film to explain the terms and conditions of his snap would've impacted the pacing of the film.

  • I remember searching stack overflow for a oddly specific issue and found a post about it with an answer. The person who asked the question was me 6 years ago.

  • The internet archive may have just suffered a security breach

  • I did get an email from HIBP so at the very least they got my email

  • 35 years after the iconic puzzler's release, someone has finally beat NES Tetris' 255 levels and achieved 'Rebirth'

    Jump

  • I'm just waiting for aGameScout to drop a video on this one. He's been doing excellent deep dives on every Tetris milestone

  • Apple Slowly Moves Away From Its Annual Product Release Strategy [Bloomberg]

  • This will likely apply to everything but the iPhone. I don't believe for a second we'll have a fall come by without a new iPhone.

  • Any public place frankly, I get a 30 minute lunch and 7-8 people blasting Tick Tocks in a small area...

  • Worst thing about someone watching a reel out loud is you hear the same 15 second sound bite 30 times while they're reading the comments.

  • I was raised in peak cereal advertising. I can spout off like 10 based on mascots alone.

  • Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants

    Jump

  • Hell yea. Our unit test coverage went way up because you can blow through test creation in second. I had a large complicated migration from one data set to another with specific mutations based on weird rules and GPT got me 80% of the way there and with a little nudging basically got it perfect. Code that would've taken a few hours took about 6 prompts. If I'm curious about a new library I can get a working example right away to see how everything fits together. When these articles say there's no benefit I feel people aren't using these tools or don't know how to use them effectively.

  • Bop Spotter: "a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's solar powered, and the mic is pointed

  • I love this. I feel like the internet used to be full of these crazy little art projects.

  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series will continue. Tony Hawk: "Thanks to Activision, Neversoft (RIP). I’m not supposed to tease anything else about the future of the series; but there will be a future."

    Jump

  • I have little faith in this. Neversoft doesn't even exist anymore, they were merged into Infinity Ward to be just another COD grunt. Vicarious Visions who made the wonderful THPS 1+2 also don't exist anymore and the team was merged into Blizzard to work on Diablo (maybe that's why last season was a banger). On the plus side of all these closures, Robomodo who made all the worst Tony Hawk stuff (Ride, Shred, THPS HD, THPS 5) is shut down completely so at the very least they won't get the project.

  • All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch

    Jump

  • I've got one on the way Best Buy screwed up the pre-order and didn't get enough stock in so I'm left waiting. But yea seems like by all accounts it's roughly the size of a regular phone plus you get a small tablet when you want.

  • YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books.

    Jump

  • This is why they rarely pull your whole library, it's too noticeable and all these services have is public faith they're going to still be there. More often the case you'll just lose access to a purchase here and there and usually goes undetected especially if you have a large collection.

  • Yea Audible too. I can't remember the name of the tool but you can connect to your account and it pulls all your purchases locally DRM free. It was handy for setting up Audiobookshelf
