Trump denies wrongdoing. He says ... that it didn’t matter what he put on his financial statements because they had a disclaimer that says they shouldn’t be trusted.

It's fine, most of us are used to being disappointed by god

AAA studios were used to having local build farms, in-person build-review sessions, and testers being in the same physical space so engineers could see what's going on. They have collections of unreleased hardware that need to be distributed and secured.

It's not simple to completely overhaul a setup like that and go full remote. You're moving 100s of GB a day to each dev and trying to change every one of your processes.

Every AAA engineer I know complained about how how slow everything was remote. Studios are figuring that shit out now, but I don't think "hurr durr Todd Howard old" is really accurate or adding anything to the conversation here

It disincentives gaining skills that can only earn less than 40k a year.

VS for Mac was really just a renamed Xamarin Studio too.

I take the bus to work every day. It's a set route for my set work schedule and it's great.

But everything else I do in my life? Not on a bus route, schedules are slow on the weekend or stop completely after a certain time.

When you come up with a bus that goes wherever I want to go when I want, I'm in. Until then, a car that doesn't require a driver and is easily shared between many people to take them the last mile is an actual solution.

Agreed. It's a solid game that just gets boring. I enjoyed the campaign and the co-op play. I liked the variety of play of the classes.

But since the launch they've just made the game boring. The first big patch just nerfed every build. It's not a competitive game - they just decided you should have less fun I guess.

Gems are super boring - instead of being excited for them to drop, inactively ignore them. And the first seasons only mechanic is.... fancy gems.

The towns are designed to make you run around a ton. The mount mechanics are actively hostile (maps have areas where you need to dismount to progress, then there's a 10s cool down before you can mount again). Inventory management kinda sucks. The whole loot management part of the game is kinda flat and that's a major component of this series.

It's weird because this was the smoothest launch of a Diablo and the game felt feature rich as you leveled. But the end game is so fucking boring. They have so many things in D3 they could have just copied but instead we'll end up with yet another patch of nerfs in a single player game.

How many people clicked the phishing links in your college papers?

The initialism is decades older than any iDevice. Go complain to people on USENET from before you were born.

I envy a life where you've never had to clean a bathroom.

New player general tips:

• always play however you find most fun, if you're looking to be efficient or aren't sure where to start...

• you get your mount at the very beginning of act IV if you want to get more mobility.

• if you just do the main story (yellow quest markers), you'll be slightly under leveled by the end of the game.

• get renown up at least up to level 1 for each region. The extra skill points and bonus XP are great

• probably the best things to do for renown are strongholds and side quests. Strongholds are usually 100+20 renown for the included waypoint. Side quests that are also in dungeons will yield 20+30 renown

• Make sure you level up your healing potions every 10ish levels!

• salvaging gear will give you mats you'll really want later in the game. You'll probably have enough gold and can skip selling

Lol Artefact. I did forget about that

This is nowhere near reality.

Even if you could just "translate" code from one language to another, that ignores asset pipelines, asset store libraries, and all the build pipelines that allow you to ship cross-platform.

You also need to now train your entire dev team on a new tech stack.

Switching engines is an enormous effort

It's a 10 year deal. Sony can use that decade to invest in its own shooters like they used to with Killzone.

Sony refused to allow cross play for years, effectively making you buy a PS to play with your friends. They took cross platform MMOs like Destiny and made entire parts of it exclusive, stealing what should have been available to everyone who already paid.

Meanwhile Microsoft makes their stuff available on Steam, has nearly-full backcompat going back two decades, and gives me a path to play my games on phone.

Yes.

But there's also a demo that lets you play the first few hours and it'll quickly let you know whether it's for you or not

Which part of the article confuses you?

On the mobile website, Feeds > Friends seems to get rid of the suggested posts and also appears to be chronological.

There's probably the same option on the website

It really is a niche entry. It's a weird gameplay mix of real time stealth and then turn-based combat. It's also a weird setting mix of fantasy and noir.

And the turn based gameplay just isn't as fun or deep as XCOM or even gears tactics.

Kudos to paradox for trying something, but I'd rather to they released CS:2 earlier instead

Check the spam filter in your email for a validation link. Registration just spun for me until I found that

500 is the initial limit, which you can expand via Lilith altars and renown level 4.

Events can drop 50+ so you can definitely that limit faster than you think
