Playing FFXIV for the first time.
I don’t really care for multiplayer games as much since I don’t like to commit my time to others to play games (I like being able to get up and leave when I need to), but there’s a solo challenge that sounded fun, so I’m giving that a shot.
Yeah, the timing of the article makes it clear what the motive is. It’s to distract discussion away from the article about Stallman.
Up to you. Two people can make mistakes at the same time. Whether there is truth to the claims, I’m not sure, but if there is truth then there are some unpleasant details in it.
Good point. Committing genocide is completely justifiable as long as you’re not the only one doing it.
The whole situation around Israel has bipartisan support. Even if it’s political, it’s hard to say they’re picking a side there.
Factorio. Probably for the next month or so as well.
TL;DR:
From today the license applied to the project will be the Apache 2.0 license with an extra line forbidding usage of the codebase as an integration or app to Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.
While it’s disappointing to see the additional restriction, it’s better to have a project the devs find sustainable than to have nothing at all. It seems like the goal of this change is to protect their main source of funding.
Worst case, people can fork the code before the change.
Factorio is not for everyone, but it’s also one of the all stars of its genre. With the upcoming expansion in a couple weeks, it’ll probably eat another few hundred of my free hours over the next few months, and I know I’m not alone on this one.
Same devs also made Sea of Stars. I found it to be pretty fun.
Fortunately, if you need character backstories and such, you could instead read the books or watch the TV series instead. I jumped straight into Witcher 3 and had no issues with missing background knowledge.
That’s not to say you shouldn’t play 1 or 2 though, just that there are other options.
I’m not sure why they’re so concerned about their approval ratings. Seems to me that at least 100% of the population would be satisfied with them. Have they conducted a poll?
For what it’s worth, I feel the same way about normal settings for FP1 in that it’s pretty easy. Switching to extreme though, it felt as though I needed to play perfectly to finish a scenario. To me, I think it comes down to most of the difficulty being frontloaded. A solid start sets you up for the rest of the game, while a rough start can ruin a run as the game continues to kick you down with every temp drop, event, etc.
From what I understand, it’s Bevy ECS + a custom renderer, and likely some other custom code.
I keep looking at this game not because I want to play it, but because I want to see how it was made. As someone who’s played with bevy a bit, it’s amazing to me what they were able to do with it, and it would be so cool to see how it was done.
I made the mistake of starting Frostpunk (1) since I saw that 2 released. It’s an incredibly well-made game. The art style is beautiful, the game is intense, there is a lot of emotion, and it does its one thing just so well. Unlike a lot of modern games these days, Frostpunk wants you to lose, which is fitting for its setting. It sees that you’re behind, then kicks you in the shins for good measure rather than lending a helping hand. I’ve lost so many hours of my time to this game in the past week.
I’ve read that Frostpunk 2 is a completely different game. That one might be next on my list if I get to it before Factorio updates and the expansion for it comes out.
Framework 16 laptops come with a 180W charger. The laptop itself might not draw that much (depends on your laptop configuration and settings), but the charger can draw that much to charge the laptop if needed.
Not quite 200W, but there are more powerful laptops on the market than the ones Framework sells.
I’m not sure I see the issue. Is there something wrong with them reporting on Ukraine’s Kursk region? Doesn’t seem like an illegal border crossing to me.
Two can play at this game.
Some friends and I once went to visit one of their families for spring break back in college. We made the mistake of starting a server.
The spring break ended. We left the room maybe twice a day to eat food, around 7pm and 4am. The factory grew. I think there was a family there, I can’t remember though.
Given Discord’s history with certain kinds of content being shared on it, it’s hard to fault them for doing this. But I agree, most FOSS enthusiasts are looking for something a little more private and in their control.
On this topic, I remember seeing a thread for Frostpunk 2 asking if it had DEI stuff in it.
There aren’t even any real characters in Frostpunk 2. Tf are you talking about DEI for in a game with no real characters?
