LoafyLemon,

Sounds logical, but seeing how barren cities in Starfield are makes me think it was a design decision rather than a technical limitation.

LoafyLemon, (edited )

Please become the CEO of Twitter. 🙏

I've heard he's planning to run for the president of the US by 2030. \s

Baldur's Gate 3 patch 3 releases today and lets you change your appearance and pronouns (www.rockpapershotgun.com) angielski

Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 3, which was so massive Larian held it back a day to test it properly, will release today, and it'll add an RPG feature many of us have been requesting since we stepped clear of the Nautiloid - the ability to change a character's appearance. Alas, it comes too late for the Wood Elf Druid I rolled during...

LoafyLemon, (edited )

The fact is, vanilla Bethesda games are as dry as they come. At least when it comes to any form of adult content, even implied. Baldur's Gate 3, on the other hand, is down bad through, and through.

LoafyLemon,

Care to elaborate? I don't remember this.

LoafyLemon,

Oh yeah, that was a thing. Other images available online seem to be more... interesting. I can see how it could influence your arachnid tastes. 😆

LoafyLemon,

Now we can role-play a bad guy turning into a good guy and vice versa.

LoafyLemon,

That's a little extreme, here at the fediverse we should strive to do better than reddit, so instead of asking them to delete their account, ask them to defederate. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

LoafyLemon, (edited )

They're trying to monetize the free-to-play mobile market, which is much more lucrative than a percentage of the sales. Cunning bastards.

LoafyLemon,

For every paying customer, there are one thousand installations. A quick maths will tell you why they are trying so much to be paid for runtime.

LoafyLemon,

ID Software are Vulkan wizards. Absolute mad lads.

So, Unity is charging game developers per video game install now... (blog.unity.com) angielski

So today Unity announced changes in how they are going to monetize their game engine, and it is, rightfully might I add, poorly recievedHere is how much youtuber Dani would have to pay unity if they consider his games to gain over $200k in revenue Dani’s hypothetical unity payments...

LoafyLemon,

Usually, cracking doesn't typically result in the blocking of network features. This is why most groups suggest blocking the executable in the firewall.

LoafyLemon, (edited )

There's no Ray Tracing in Baldur's Gate 3.

\edit Someone already said that. Ignore.

LoafyLemon,

Remember when some people said we're nuts thinking Google will try to ban ad blockers with manifest v3? Yeah.

LoafyLemon,

No problems with Mozilla VPN

LoafyLemon,

Some countries don't allow interruptive ads. Cherish it while you still can!

LoafyLemon,

The Gecko Engine (Firefox), holds a user share of 4%. When compared to Chromium's (Google Chrome and its clones) whooping 72% (roughly) user share, it's clear that Firefox has limited relevance to their business strategy.

LoafyLemon,

I reckon that blocking ad blockers isn't some extra countermeasure here. It's actually right in line with what Manifest V3 and that new environment attestation system are all about. They're basically making sure that if you tinker with crucial bits of the JavaScript -- stuff they see as essential (like anti-adblock) -- you won't make it through the attestation and you'll get blocked.

They don't want to block all modifications because that would be a hindrance to many users, for example the visually impaired. However, anything affecting their bottom line will probably be blocked.

How that will affect Firefox? I don't know, maybe nothing will change for us, or perhaps Google will block Firefox altogether. We certainly know they're capable.

LoafyLemon,

It shouldn't be a surprise. Games load assets on the fly to save memory, which would be terrible on a hard drive.

LoafyLemon,

Solid State Drives have no read limits, only write limits.

LoafyLemon,

In case someone's wondering about cheaper options; Samsung 980 500GB NVMe M.2 costs as much as £32 GBP (~40 USD), and 1 TB version is £52 GBP (~65 USD).

LoafyLemon,

No it's not the same. Playing games, or loading assets causes no wear for the SSD.

LoafyLemon,

Nonsense. NAND flash memory is non-volatile and can be read from indefinitely without wearing out.

LoafyLemon,

You're being obnoxious, on top of being wrong. Please stop.

LoafyLemon,

It's in the first paragraph.

In 2022, rightsholders obtained permission in Austria to block several pirate site domains and a list of IP addresses that actually belonged to Cloudflare. ISPs had no choice but to comply with the court's instructions which took out countless Cloudflare customers in Austria. According to reviews conducted by local telecoms regulator TKK, the IP address blocking violated net neutrality regulations and will no longer be allowed.

In other words, only domain blocking will be allowed, IP blocking will not be permitted, and cloudflare IPs must be unblocked again.

LoafyLemon,

Did anyone even bother to check out the article? Cloudflare is being allowed again since the ban broke the rules of net neutrality... It's the IP blocking methods that are being outlawed.

LoafyLemon,

I don't see the need to vilify Cloudflare. So far, they have shown nothing but respect towards net neutrality, fighting against bad internet practices (like Google), and even standing up to ISPs and governments to protect their users, whether they're pirates or not.

They have been around long enough (10+ years) to let you judge them and their services through their actions, not rumours.

LoafyLemon,

Centralization is an issue, but it's not Cloudflare to blame, it's the ISPs and governing bodies. Consider this: who's the one who initiated the initial block in the first place?

LoafyLemon,

I employ VPN, TOR, and additionally, I manage sites utilizing CloudFlare. I can tell you this much: There aren't many alternative services that safeguard your website and gather statistics while respecting the privacy of the end user. CloudFlare even provides onion routes for TOR users, which I've naturally activated for my website. Thus, the issue doesn't rest with CloudFlare; it's a tool. The true issue lies with the webmasters abusing their power and using overzealous rulesets.

They could easily apply the same rulesets by utilizing nginx to proxy the traffic and implementing blocks on their side, avoiding CloudFlare altogether. The only distinction would be the increased expenses and a different host, nothing more.

LoafyLemon,

That's not true at all, though. I can see only the basic information, such as:

  • Page load time
  • Number of visitors per country
  • Browser header and user agent
  • Referral (if any)

That's all there is to it. I don't have access to IP addresses, location data, or behavioural information. I only have access to the necessary information that enables my website to function seamlessly.

LoafyLemon,

This would create excessive waste, and the EU would never approve of it.

LoafyLemon,

We can compress textures into ridiculously small sizes, I doubt it's a problem. Audio on the other hand...

In a dialogue heavy game such as this one, each voice line for each language must be shipped with the game on steam. There's no way to split the downloads between regions and languages from within developer console on steam.

I think it's one of the most popular requests devs posted in the dev forums.

LoafyLemon,

Resident Evil Village was a good example of that. People tested the two versions, and the cracked one was significantly faster on all runs. Even media reported on it.
