Is it right to call him a co-founder? Service Games aka Sega existed long before his company merged with Goraku Bussan, the company that owned Service Games
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 1 day ago:
True but someone had to figure out the process even if it was by accident. Like the first people who tried the first potato species probably didn’t eat them again because they got sick. Until someone ate a potato (against the knowledge of the time) that was left out of the ground over night.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 1 day ago:
Yeah but if you live high up the Andes it’s basically freeze drying, because of the freezing nights and the high altitude sun during the day.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 1 day ago:
Also freeze drying them first. Ancient taters were poisonous, since they are nightshade. And freeze drying them would reduce the toxins.

Well the West is know for their baked goods and pastries. Like croissants, donuts, churros, etc. Like in East Asia and South East Asia a lot of the pastry that is for sale is based on Western recipes and they are different from the local pastry recipes.

lol Ubi. Why are they still treated as one of the big ones? Like Mojang alone is probably way more valuable than Ubi in total. They basically double A now and they should probably focus on double A productions. Also their market cap is even lower today they are a sub billion euro company now.
- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 5 days ago:
I think the Wii stole the momentum. PS3 and 360 were just crazy expensive compared to the Wii and the prev gen of consoles. And unlike PS2 those two consoles lacked a lot of games for kids. So for parents it was an easy decision to just get a Wii. Not to mention if you already had a PS2 you had a large library of games at your disposal and the machine was modable, it’s why it still sold very well in the end of the console’s lifetime especially in middle income regions, like it sold super well in South America. So many PS2 owners weren’t going to convert to PS3, just way too expensive and can’t play pirated games.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 5 days ago:
It will definitely boost PS5 sales. Sony loves to boast about PlayStation 2 being the best selling console in history but they conveniently leave out the reason. It’s because there are modchips and even software jailbreaks for the console. It’s why it sold super well during the end of its lifetime in low and middle income regions.

- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 1 week ago:
Matchmaking is nothing more than a user database query. That database sits on GOG’s servers and the only thing GOG does is put users into a lobby and then send that data back to the clients so the game can show it to the user. And then when the game starts GOG connects the clients to the host. So developers don’t have to setup their own lobby and relay server. That host can be another client, then the developers don’t have to pay for anything, or a dedicated server which the devs have to pay for themselves. And in case of a dedicated server clients do not have the server binaries.

Add a fourth bar. The physical attractiveness scale. Attractive candidates are more likely to get hired and even earn more over their career.

- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 1 week ago:
GOG Galaxy only handles lobbies, matchmaking and relaying connections to the host. So even if they provide a way to self host it, if the game uses dedicated servers to host sessions it still wouldn’t work if the game devs don’t provide the server runtime binaries. Only games that can host a session on the client would work without the server runtime.

- Comment on The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System 1 week ago:
Those concept designs look dope as hell. No way would they’ve been able to produce that for less than $150 in 1980.
Also I see some modern PlayStation design language in them, did Sony copy Nintendo’s homework lol.

It’s funny how hippies becoming right wing extremist is a worldwide phenomena. Even without the Nazi influence late stage hippies always end up on the far right. Like in my country the face of the anti-covid movement is a stereotypical white boy hippie with dreds. Like the typical mistrust in the government hippies have creates a lot of overlap with the far-right hence why some hippies become right wing extremist.

Yeah he was definitely speeding inside the tunnel. There is a video of the crash and the road slightly turns to the left after the tunnel. And he couldn’t even make that turn. Crashed right into the barrier with the right side of the car.

- Comment on Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI' 2 weeks ago:
It’s not like they are just going to do a visual spot check on each level to clear out the AI assets. They will probably tag it in the meta data as a placeholder. So some automated validation process can find every ai asset in a level. Not to mention game objects are wrapped in an object template. And then the template is used to place the object into the scenes. So they only have to replace the placeholder with the final object once in the template and then it will replace it everywhere the template is used.
