  • Nah, the distro that openly says updates may cause breakages and to check if you need manual intervention before updating following their long established normal procedure is fine.

  • But there are valid complaints too! Some of us are just old and think our computers should do whatever we tell them up to and including "shit yourself and catch fire"

    I agree with this, but I think rust is fine here. It has unsafe as a keyword that let's you do the breaking stuff, it just makes sure you know you're doing something dangerous and makes it stand out for code reviewers

  • Eh, it's more complicated, it's a Haitian revolutionary and the first emperor of Haiti post-revolution. (Functionally a dictatorship)

    He killed most of the remaining colonists, enforced plantation labor, and was overthrown after like 2-3 years, but a lot of haiti now remembers him mostly for abolishing slavery and there's a lot of revisionism or justification for his worse acts.

    So like its hard to know what someone who likes him knows / thinks about him.

  • Nah, Google funds them so they can point at them and say they aren't a monopoly, directing what they do would ruin that.

  • It's all subjective. If you make Balatro and I make BG3, there's no objective way to evaluate "Best Game" between the two. You've got to make some subjective judgement (or just put your hand out and collect bribes).

    Giving one of them a full stack of awards doesn't signal quality, it signals bias.

    It signals quality from the perspective of a poorly selected jury. I have massive issues with how the game awards runs itself, but the solution isn't to artificially restrict what a game can win.

    Bias from a jury's selection is inherent in all awards, e33 winning 9 awards isn't evidence of unfair bias or bribes, its evidence of 1) e33 genuinely doing an amazing job in a lot of different areas and 2) the jury being made up of professional journalists who all run in the same circles.

    Neither Sandfall or Kepler have the sort of connections you'd need to beat out Sony or Nintendo if all 3 were using shady tactics.

    E33 wasn't the studio's first game. So it shouldn't be winning the "award for debut games" on the ground alone.

    What other game has sandfall interactive made?

    But yes, if you're winning the "indie game" (which E33's budget shouldn't have qualified it for anyway) spotlight another game under "debut" even if you're predisposed to favor turn based RPGs over platformers or puzzle games or simulators. In fact, especially then.

    I think we're just gonna have to disagree here, I don't think the point of rewards should be to spotlight a bunch of different games, that's what the nominations are for.

    It's recognizing the budget more often than not.

    Yeah, that's fair, but it's not exclusively budget.

  • When you're stacking up all the awards on a single game, you're effectively ignoring the rest of the releases for the year.

    If a game does the best in multiple categories should it be skipped over just to highlight another game?

    Imo that's what nominations are for, saying these 6 games did outstanding jobs in this area, the award should still go to whichever one did the best.

    I'm more disgusted with giving "Best Indie" and "Best Debut Indie" to the same title. Why even have two categories at this point?

    Because they can go to different games. If an indie studio's first game wins best indie game how can it not also be the best debut indie game? Should it be excluded from winning best indie game just because it's their first game and they won best debut indie?

    It isn't even the studio's debut title.

    What other games has sandfall developed?

    Similarly, three "Best Performance" nominees to the same title. You know what you're doing and it's not evaluation or recognition, it's just promotion.

    This isn't just recognizing the game, it's recognizing the actors.

    Which 2 would you replace and who do you think did a better job?

    Game awards have always been glorified ads.

    Agreed

  • Yeah, it's not the only game, but it did a really good job in all the categories it won.

    I would've given best RPG to kcd2, but I don't think e33 is unreasonable.

    The only issue I have is sandfall shouldn't count as an independent game, they had a publisher and were backed by venture capital.

  • But it was the best at pretty much everything.

    Other than best RPG, that should've gone to kingdome come deliverance 2 imo, but like e33 winning that isn't unreasonable.

  • Photo enforcement cameras

    Jump

  • From the article: "We found no evidence that red light cameras improve public safety. They don’t reduce the total number of vehicle accidents, the total number of individuals injured in accidents or the total number of incapacitating injuries that involve ambulance transport to a hospital."

    If you have any research that contradicts it I'm open to reading it but the evidence indicates there are just as many serious accidents.
