Because the decision makers aren't making games they want to play. There just making business decisions on what they think sells more. It's not rocket science to make a game that's fun but it takes a lot of involvement and passion, something that CEOs and other C suites don't have time for.

This is why games should allow modding.

Nah, they deserve a free therapist or at least access to affordable mental health programs.

No, I disagree. The CEO is by far the most replaceable person when it comes to AI if the directive is to simply make more money for shareholders based on market research. I would argue that the CEO is being a parasite here.

I never had SE. What's it like?

Before I switched to Mint, my W10 spat out a full screen ad that was telling me to dump my PC and get a new one because support was ending for W10. I clicked on 'maybe later' because there was no other viable option to get it off screen, thinking it was a one off. It was when the ad popped up again 3 days later that I spat the dummy and went into Linux land.

It wasn't about ongoing support. It was about being left alone with my choice and not having my personal computer nagging me every few days to spend money when I didn't need to. I believe this is what most people are angry about.

WTF America?

This phrase has confused me so much when I heard it in one of Taylor Swift's songs.

Then my Texan cousins explained it to me on a visit one day. I was still confused. Now I've found out it's a stage coach thing. Interesting.

AI vegan is not a thing and shall never be.

The correct term is Technophile. Anyone obsessed with tech would never hand it off to a third party to do when they can go through the joy of learning themselves.

It's more symbolic to force your enemy to bend the knee.

 

A dark, slow paced tune about an extinction. Just spreading some Aussie influence, though technically she's UK since she lives and works from there now.

 

I really love this new song of theirs. Really glad they're still kicking around and coming up with bangers like these.

Also just joined the community after seeing the link in micro globe memes! Loving the collections here.

 

I switched to a Linux Mint/Win11 dual boot system over the weekend and installed Unity from Flathub. Running Unity Hub is fine but when I try to login, it hangs with no errors. I can log into the asset store just fine, so nothing wrong with the credentials. I'd like to know what terminal commands I could use to see what it's actually doing and figure out why it hangs.

I really don't want to continue using it in Windows and only keep it to run work programs, and really need to use Unity for University.

Edit: Troubleshooted via the terminal, then uninstalled the .Deb package that I downloaded from the Unity website and then followed another tutorial from another part of their website with terminal commands. Managed to log in and run my projects.

 

Thankfully, the cyclist got away with non life threatening injuries.

Seen on husband's ride to work this morning. Our local council is right on brand.
