The time has come.
I remember vividly myself as a child playing Homeworld 2 multiplayer with my older brother (over the LAN?)
Had hard time wrapping my head around 3D navigation, but enjoyed having fun time with him and that’s what matters
Kinda scared to return and see what is it now, as third game finally rolled out. Probably quite nostalgic? :)
Also, for Hiigara! For Kharak!

Good to know we had something very good out of this.
Now, let’s beat the living hell out of publishers so that those crazy open access publication prices would decimate.
Because right now, I literally cannot afford publishing further than Q3, which already eats up most of my personal grant earnings (which are so bad I can say I work purely for an idea).
- Comment on What is the General Consensus of Web3? 6 days ago:
Web3 is a marketing term for Web2 sites that usually involve crypto/decentralized crypto-driven “metaverses”.
Web4 was employed by Meta/Facebook as a marketing to their “metaverse”.
Web 3.0 is a real term meaning an evolution of Internet oriented at establishing a universal framework for machines to easily process Web data.

With authors often paying for open access publications literally out of their very own money, not just grants.

Blue of course.

Is there such an orbit? That should be an orbit with a period of 1 year, which is far outside Earth’s sphere of gravitational influence.
- Comment on Soup 1 week ago:
Yes, it is expensive, as your freezer has to be set at temperatures below -80°C/-112°F, down to -196°C/-321°F, and maintained this way.
This requires expensive equipment and draws insane amounts of power.
There is currently no way to do it on a budget.

Center left to center right by American standards, I suppose?
(It’s important to clarify as American center is way more right than normally considered)
Thanks! Wide scope is appreciated.

Thanks!
But if we talk whole numbers, we just change the rule that if n is whole, then S(n) is whole where S(n)=n±1.
Essentially just adding possibility for minus again.
- Comment on Zero to hero 1 week ago:
Why do we even use natural numbers as a subset?
There are whole numbers already

Thanks! If I’m not mistaken, Thomas Sowell, who is often cited under the post, changed to the right-wing after discussions with Chicago students - must be quite solid.

Completely depends on who is allowed to vote.
If slaves would have a vote, they’d certainly strongly choose one option :D
Same for the discriminated groups.
If they don’t have a vote, this depends on the rest of society in the short run, but can cause violent rebellions in the long one. Democratic system does not eliminate possibility of revolt.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
That’s what I normally do - pirate or ignore AAA’s, but always buy indies.
The problem with the union idea is that most games just won’t pay off huge investments, so there needs to be someone competent who filters out profitable games, and funds games based on expected returns…and at that point we get, essentially, a publisher company. Or maybe a cooperative. But barely a union.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
Many countries actually have such systems in place today, even Russia (lol) - not that they work too well.
Normally, there are two sources of issues here: petitions can in fact be declined, and, in cases where the signature count depends on scale of the petition they can be intentionally escalated as to make it impossible to gain enough signatures.
Long story short, the system is open to shenanigans and doesn’t make the government truly accountable.
We need the system that would actually make politicians rapidly lose their jobs when they ignore public opinion.

In most cases, it is clearly pronounced.
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
If that would be true, all games would be indie titles.
Unfortunately, those promotions DO matter, and absolute majority of indie games never pull it off, because we never even get to hear about them.
Promotion makes a difference between a cool game no one knows about and a game everyone plays.
And when everyone is expected to buy your game, you have much bigger budgets to make the game not just conceptually good, but also greatly executed.

Two-party system is the enemy of democracy to begin with
But maybe even they would be more inclined to do better everyday
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
Made me imagine a page where everyone everyday can leave 1 vote on how good the government performs
If the scores are too low for a prolonged period of time, the government is dismissed.
(Obviously a very first-second concept with millions of flaws - just a thought)

Honestly I’d rather have a cheater in my lobby than Riot Games deep into the sections of my PC they should never have accessed.
With that said, I do not play Valorant for this reason (and also because it would require me to dualboot since Vanguard cannot be ported on Linux, lol)
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
Yeah, like, you know what is best for PC players, it just doesn’t come together with financial interest :D
- Comment on Glorious Victory 1 week ago:
Developers generally have a choice between going to one of the massive publishers (which allows for better promotion and for expensive games to pay off, but comes at a cost of their will over devs), or to self-release, which means way less players will even know about the game, not to mention buy it.
Arrowhead realistically only had the first option.
That’s not to say there’s no fault of theirs in the situation, just that it’s not a free choice abd that Sony is still the main culprit
- Comment on "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know" 1 week ago:
Long story short: Sony decided (after sales!) to make it impossible for players to get into their already purchased copy of Helldivers 2 without a PlayStation Network account. Originally, players could just use their Steam accounts.
The problem, aside from bloating and privacy concerns, is that there are many regions in which PlayStation Network isn’t even available, meaning hundreds of thousands of gamers would just be locked out of the game they bought.
Now, after immense pressure (players immediately dumped game reviews into oblivion, and bombarded the developers, forcing them to renegotiate with Sony) it was decided not to make PlayStation Network linking mandatory.

I see. Thank you anyway!
