There is git lfs as mentioned, and other systems like perforce support binaries too, but generally assets like those aren’t under the same kind of version control because they don’t change as frequently, aren’t worked on by multiple people, and can’t be diffed.
I don’t think this guy understands what innovation is. The Steam Deck and Wii aren’t particularly innovative. The Wii is a bit unusual, but pointer controls didn’t stick (though gyro controls have, in a minor way). The Steam Deck is just a regular handheld but with an x86 CPU.
I don’t think people are going to buy small consoles to play big games. And a powerful handheld is overkill to play small games. If people want to play small games, they use the phone they already have.
The handheld console sweet spot is slightly more powerful than the Switch. But the Switch’s selling power isn’t its hardware, but its library. Nintendo games have selling power. And even outside of that, the Switch has a surprisingly large library of third-party games like Skyrim and Doom. But if people really want a console that will do everything, they’ll get a Deck, because I know you won’t be able to do whatever you want on Microsoft’s handheld.
I found several definitions where this meets the definition of “work”, but I’m interested to hear your argument about how “time and effort spent doing a task” is not work.
It’s not a question of capability. It’s a question of cost-benefit spending developer time on a feature not many people would use.
Couch coop was a thing because there was no way for you to play from your own homes. Nowadays it’s a nice-to-have, because you can jump online any time and play together, anywhere in the world, without organizing everyone to show up at one house.
Right, EA would file a counter-notice. Then the modder would have to get lawyers involved and file an actual legal complaint, and EA would respond with their lawyers.
But once they file the counter-notice, you could just stop there. They could sue you for filing in bad faith, but I’ve never heard of that happening.
Started playing a few indie titles on PC, or at least titles that I would not normally be able to find without digging a bit (Sea of Stars, Hollow Knight, Garden Story, etc). Finding games that are made by smaller studios is a little (not much, but a little) harder than finding “Top Sellers” on Steam. I have tried Steam’s...
Seriously? Hollow Knight is/was a huge hit. The other ones I’ve heard of before by word of mouth.
You can easily find indie games on Steam when you browse by any method. The ones of major devs will be obvious recognizable names. Even on the front page of the Steam store, it looks about a third of them are indie games.
Or you could look at other stores like GOG or Indiegala.
Steam does support it. A long time back, I was still new to Steam, and activated a key on a second account I’d created. I opened a support case, told them I’d activated it on the wrong account, and asked them to transfer it. They did.
“I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don’t have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?”
If they settled that quickly, their lawyers must have told them they’d have gotten fucked six days to Sunday. Obviously this isn’t good for Yuzu, but if the settlement is only monetary, that means they can continue development (minus whatever detail Nintendo considered too far, probably the keys thing).
I’m looking for a place to get Soundpad so I can test it to see if its what I’m looking for. I don’t know where I’d look to find it, Rezi gives no results and it’s not on Steamunlocked
It sounds like he also writes the events. The article gives the example of one part ending faster than expected, so he added a bit about the forces pivoting to mine the planets. A director AI can’t make stuff up from scratch. (ML-AI could, but it wouldn’t be very good.)
The report comes from Cyber Daily, who also broke the news of last year’s confirmed hack attack on Insomniac Games. The site claims that new ransomware group Mogilevich are the culprits, as per the screencap of a darkweb posting above, and that the hackers are now trying to get Epic or another party to pay up for the return of...
No, when you store your card, it doesn’t actually store the whole card details. It communicates with the payment processor and when the card is approved, it gets back a token that says “this card is valid”, so in the future they just have to send that token and the payment processor says “yup I know the card you’re talking about”.
At least that’s how it’s supposed to be. You’re really not supposed to store card info yourself.
One thing they show but don’t mention is image persistence for transparency. If you toggle a sprite on and off every frame, the persistence between frames on CRTs and LCDs means it looks partially transparent. That effect was commonly used for character shadows.
