I've been playing a ton of Cities Skylines II since its release a week ago. After building a 230k population archipelago I started playing around with the in game cinematic video tools and this is the result.

This is 100% in game footage and effects using the Photo Mode. Recorded using the Microsoft/Xbox Game Bar, only editing was to trim the start and end.

Putting a dead character in a container and then yeeting that container into a chasm will no longer permanently destroy the character - they will now float around as a resurrectable Soul Echo as expected.

QA clearly wasn't good enough if they didn't pick up on such a game breaking bug prior to release

And...

If you dismiss your companion to camp and shove them into a chasm, Withers will now be able to resurrect them... so you can shove them into a chasm again, probably.

Whoever wrote these notes really deserves some credit

People who use the default email their ISP gives them don't like change. The new service will probably have a different login screen and that's going to upset aunty Ethel and uncle ron. And then a different colour background. It's the worst thing that anyone could ever do to them

Star rating systems don't accurately convey opinions. The majority of reviews will be either 5* or 1* with only a few wannabe critics voting in between applying their own arbitrary votes.

If Amazon are going to change things then why not adopt something more meaningful. Simple up/down votes for things that actually matter.

Was this product as described: ๐Ÿ‘/๐Ÿ‘Ž

Are you satisfied with the quality: ๐Ÿ‘/๐Ÿ‘Ž

Are you satisfied with the value for money: ๐Ÿ‘/๐Ÿ‘Ž

Then a few optional questions for things that aren't relevant to the product such as postage/packaging etc.

All the work I did creating proprietary software was essentially thrown in the trash, and societally useless. I'd much rather be paid very little, and contribute something positive to the world; time is our most valuable resource, and we should spend it doing things that improve the world, because there is so much that needs doing.

This is very well put and mirrors the issue I keep coming up against in my career.

Mmm. It's not going to happen though. Even this company have failed at standardising their own API.

Key for twitter: "twitter": Key for discord: "discordUsername":

Why are they inconsistent?! Who wrote this? Who signed off on it?!

Oh, and for GitHub you provide a url but for twitter and discord it's just the username?! But the twitter handle has to be prefixed with @. Why?!

You don't have to look at reducing your Google use as a monumental effort. You can slowly transfer, minimise the number of services you use.

Simple - Switch your default search provider to Duck Duck Go.

Easy - Switch to Firefox

Mid - export your documents from Google Drive

Complex - Transfer your primary email to another provider.

I wonder if they're just testing the waters to see if the sentiment has changed at all. They'll probably keep posting similar at regular intervals to verify that the backlash is subsiding.

Has GitHub actually done anything negative? Your comments really just sound like fear mongering, I can't see any actual issues.

What is the bloat you're referring to? The UI is clean and simple. Navigating and searching code is intuitive. The issue tracker is basic but reliable. Releases are clear. GitHub Actions are complex but featureful and incredibly useful. GitHub Packages are basic but useful. GitHub Copilot is damn impressive.

Alas, that's the very nature of open source development.

A useful tip I picked up was to use ii instead of j for an inner loop. It's far more distinct than j.

If for some terrible reason you have even more inner loops you can easily continue the trend i, ii, iii, iiii, iiiii - or iv, v if you're feeling roman

You're replying to a two year old thread.

I imagine you were browsing "Hot" which has a bug where after scrolling down the feed it suddenly starts including very old content that only has one comment.
