so basically back to internet 1.0, sounds good actually.

The AI field is more than just LLM and generative AI. Like models that can detect cancer in scans are not LLMs or generative AI.

Capital G Gamers™ are the scourge of the earth.

My Nintendo works for U.N.C.L.E.

Just insert it cap first. So you can poop it out when it slips in.

Belle Noire ?

And

The confusing rant then rather radically changed subject to talk about how he doesn’t want to take sides in the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine

And

In 2022, VentureBeat reported that staff working for Moon Studios had told the outlet about a culture of “casual racism, sexism and bullying,” describing it as “an oppressive workplace.”

Yep Around $26 million according to https://games-stats.com/steam/game/no-rest-for-the-wicked/

According to Wikipedia they have at least 80 employees. Ball park cost per employee is around $10k a month (this includes more than just salary). So around $800k per month to run the studio. $9.6 million per year. So they probably spend more than a third of their earnings since launch. And Take Two got their cut (usually half of net revenue, so revenue after the store cut) before Moon Studios went independent, they only became fully independent in March of this year. So they have even less money left. So yeah they saying that they are in financial trouble is probably not exaggerated.

Yes of course you have to market outside of Steam. But actually most traffic to the game page will come from people discovering it through Steam. Especially for an indie who can’t afford a traditional marketing campaign. A feature on the front page will blow the traffic you’d get from a Tuber or Twitch play out of the water. But you’d only get featured if you have high sales momentum or high wishlists before launch. That’s what the pre launch marketing campaign is for. Getting on YouTube and Twitch channels is just to get the snowball rolling. The rest comes from the Steam algorithm and word of mouth.

Steam is a marketing machine. The developers just need to do the leg work first. Steam will heavily promote games that have high wishlists and sales momentum. All those personalized recommendations you see on Steam is Valve doing marketing.

Funny how that almost describes several other US companies besides MS. Like Amazon keeps failing at releasing a game and when they do it’s trash. And Meta keeps losing billions in the VR space. Tech bros have no clue how the triple A gaming industry works, since games actually require creativity and you can’t simply hook people with an algorithm.

Well I was hoping it meant indoor sneaking levels like MGS2 and not MGSV gameplay.

Yeah the only reason I’ve have bought a PS 1 to 3 was to play Metal Gear Solid. I have bought neither the 4 nor 5, since no new MGS was released on it ( I played MGSV on ps3). A modernized Syphon Filter with improved stealth gameplay would definitely make me want to buy the PS5.

For most things people bring on vacation it wouldn’t be a problem since chargers and power supplies can run on multiple voltages. It’s for things like hairdryers where you need converter. Since they are calibrated for a specific voltage to create heat. Though you could probably run them at half settings on the double voltage.

Nope. So don’t plug a 120V hairdryer or corded drill in those things.

I’m Asian-European and in my experience there are many Asians who are right wing racist shit heads. Not to mention all the self hating Asian women who hate every Asian man on the planet including their own family members.

It’s not just gamers it’s in almost every corner of geek fandom. Remember how a bunch of losers attacked Kelly Marie Tran because they blamed her for the new Star Wars slop.

Maybe he’s Dutch. In Dutch “chair” is “stoel”, you pronounce it as “stool”

Money that’s why. Shareholders got $1.2 Billion
