Is this an off season April Fool’s joke?

Oh, so its not just Steam banning the game. So shitting on Steam is not fair then: https://www.eurogamer.net/its-extremely-frustrating-and-also-fcked-up-one-of-the-worlds-best-indie-studios-is-facing-shock-closure-following-confounding-steam-ban

As long as enough people play and buy subscription each month, it will still be available. Look at Runescape, its also still kicking. I wonder if Runescape or WoW will die first. Imagine the last servers getting shutdown…

I assume its something that is against modding, and something to avoid unlocking DLCs for free. This is speculation on my part, I have no idea.

Oh it was a joke, and I fell for it. I know about the old game, but thought it was referred to the assumption the new game was cancelled. There was lot of talk and assumption about this.

“again”? More like “still”. I assume they needed extra time to rework art assets. I’m not shocked that they still work on the game, as otherwise years of work would be wasted. And Bungie would start from scratch. But they need something NOW.

I have no doubt it will be good in gameplay. The art style has some identity too to it. I think they are quiet, so people forget about the problems and do not talk about it anymore until its resolved. What I wonder is, if they will keep the same game name or will there be a new brand attached to it?

Is there an official statement how long Steam will support and run on Windows 10?

I was there too doing lot of generalized functions that do everything. And I always hated the code. I am just hobby commandline guy, but even that is horrifying code. Doing this in complex code bases with real world impact is just bad.

Let’s wait for the Ai driven rewrite of those parts into C, and then covert that code to whatever they target.

Trying to abstract everything away in multiple layers of classes and function calls, just to avoid to write a 2 lines of code twice is the biggest evil in programming. Well probably not the biggest, but a huge problem in my opinion. Adding unnecessary complexity due to being clever is evil.

If you are concerned about a program you installed spying on you, then why do you use that program? If it can access a personal directory in Mozilla, what does it stop from accessing all the other files on your system?

Why not use an ad blocker and not rely on a single search engine this way?

This title is a bit funny. :D You had me in the first halve, not gonna lie.

Nice list. I’ve added it too, can’t hurt. Although with these third party blocking lists we get dependent on what we can see and not based on others “taste”. But I guess this is the price we pay.

This is a search tool that will only return content created before ChatGPT’s first public release on November 30, 2022.

https://tegabrain.com/Slop-Evader , the linked source code on Firefox extension page seems to no longer exist: https://github.com/tegacodes/slop-evader

So it literally cuts off everything after that date. Why the need for an extension in the browser? One can add max date to any search engine search terms and limit the results too. At least this works with Google, in example before:2022-11-30. This could be a bookmark in example: https://www.google.com/search?q=before%3A2022-11-30 Note I do not use Google myself. You have to try this with your favorite search engine yourself.

While I think the idea is good to search everything before, I am not certain we need a closed source extension for if we could just add a search term to it manually. And this does not really solve searching the web with content after that date. Still need a better solution to this, especially if time goes on.

I don’t trust this company, as they hate Linux. Wouldn’t use their engine if I target Linux, as we don’t know how they will support it in the future. I am not against open sourcing it, that’s not my issue. In fact I applaud it. But can’t trust them. Anyone supporting this project will help making their games better, who do not give a shit about Linux support.

Is there any technical reason to use s&box engine over any other Open Source engine? I ask that from a gamer perspective and don’t know all the differences.

lol I just found my 7 year old post on Reddit (when Reddit was cool) of a Epig Games logo creation: https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/bvw5ru/epig_games/

I’m glad that Tim Sweeny and its Epig Games Store is not the market leader.

It was inevitable.
