And Balatro. A game by one dev, making many folks GOTY.

It’s a conversation starter when you see another leftie in the field.

Yeah, I think this is just an oversight. It says X and S on the store page.

Yeah I just watched Skill Up’s video and then was surprised to see so many positive reviews on this roundup. What gives? Are folks so keen for more Dragon Age that they turn a blind eye to such deficiencies? Or is it just a difference of opinion.

Brill! Glad it helped.

Sounds like a SPF / DKIM / DMARC issue. You can test how your domain is set up here. https://www.dmarctester.com/

Ideally you want all three set up. But you must have SPF and DKIM or you’ve no chance of staying out of spam folders.

The email continues that UK employees “need to be mindful of the hours they work and are asked to have 11 hours outside of work in each 24-hour period.”

This is an attempt to stay within working time regulations in the UK but they are violating this bit

By law (The Working Time Regulations 1998), employees and workers have the right to the following rest: …. between working weeks – 24 hours every 7 working days or 48 hours every 14 working days

By having a 19 day unbroken run which, as I understand it, is not legal.

I wonder how many millions they need to be inspired to update their platform so it doesn’t need a regular outage every Tuesday.

All hotels reserve the right to inspect your room whenever they need to. The privacy sign just means you don’t want room service, it’s not some magical lock.

They’d still knock, not just burst into your room to catch you in flagrante.

That said seeing the black hat conference in this way is daft.

Yeah the PS5 controller is about the only innovative part of this console generation. The adaptive triggers and haptics are just great. I use one on the PC and for the games that support the extra features they really do add an extra dimension.

Remove from sale. Add more monetisation features. Rerelease as F2P. Cross fingers and hope for best.

Just saw this a few hours ago. If it wasn’t for this post I think I’d have forgotten about it already.

I guess it’s fine, just entirely unremarkable.

You could start with this People Make Games video from a couple of years ago. https://youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ?si=Ttg4-Bust1K-X-22

Surely most of the target audience for this game has already played it on another platform anyway. It’s been out since 2017.

Huh, I get not selling media any more, but surprised they’re not even going to sell consoles.

Because it’s actually really hard to achieve technically. When ads are served outside the stream you can easily serve different ads to different viewers based on their profiles. When the ads are baked into the stream you can either

A) Create a whole bunch of different copies of the video asset with different ads baked in and then rotate these on a regular basis. Which would be expensive to update and store and limit the range of adverts that could be served to a particular user.

B) Dynamically create a stream on the users request, which while possible means standard CDN caching isn’t going to work so there’s a distribution challenge.

Or some other alternative they’ve come up with. I’d be really interest to know what their approach is here.

Yeah. If this restriction exists it’s pretty clear it only applies to selling steam keys on another platform, not for selling generally. Pretty often games are cheaper on Epic or GOG and don’t use steam for delivery.

It thought those pledges were just for Activison / blizzard stuff. The Bethesda purchase was before regulators started taking an interest. The new Indiana Jones is an Xbox exclusive Bethesda game for example.
