Ajoin juuri Helsingissä tälläisen rivin ohi yön pimeydessä, jokaisessa taulussa helvetin kirkkaalla animoitu mainos. Yritä siinä sitten keskittyä pimeässä kulkevien jalankulkijoiden spottaamiseen kun silmäkulmassa kokoajan vilkkuu häiritsevästi.
It’s simply checking if the connection is from an actual browser, as a scraper pretending to be one won’t actually refresh the page as instructed. It’s going to buy some time, but like the rest of Anubis in general, it will only work until the scrapers get modified to work around it.
It’s not always about being first but about marketing.
And one has a cute catgirl mascot, the other a website that looks like a blockchain techbro startup.
I’m even willing to bet the amount of people that set up Anubis just to get the cute splash screen isn’t insignificant.
Yep, that’s why the best selling games consoles with the largest user base for selling all those super expensive AAA games are all the modern ones, like the Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, the Switch and the Gameboy Colour.
Just be thankful they haven’t followed inflation of both the value of money, and their budgets. A $40 NES game would be $120 in todays money and it was probably made in a month by three people in a shed, meanwhile something like CoD Black Ops Cold War credits over 9000 people and had a budget of $700 million. GTA 6 has already blown past a billion.
In fact, video games are currently pretty much the cheapest they’ve ever been, comparatively speaking.
So does apple, coconut, cracker, gin, barbarian, brownie, skinny, spade, spook, teabag and a whole host of different words.
It should never be about the word itself, but how it’s being used. Someone being called a genius doesn’t usually mean they are being applauded for their intellect either, for example.
Though nyko should be on the hook to buy you a new switch if they design a piece of shit that wrecks your switch
Nintendo also tried to lock down the Switch 1 docking, and 3rd party manufacturers had to hack together workarounds. "When Nintendo released the original Switch in 2017, accessory makers similarly had to figure out how to crack Nintendo’s esoteric docking protocols, and some of them (Nyko) allegedly led to damaged handhelds."
I’d more blame that for causing the issues in the first place, if the Switch spoke standard USB-C, then all reputable docks would work with no weird hacks.
It isn’t, and many now do.
Autosetting the glyphs correctly is actually one of the requirements for a Steam Deck Verified badge and Steam supplies a library that has them all, so modern games are pretty good at it. And if you implement that, you might as well add a menu option to change “Auto” to “Switch” or “Playstation”.
There just was a quite long period where majority of games used Xinput thanks to Microsoft, basically only working with Xbox controllers, and as a response a whole bunch of controllers identify as Xbox controllers when plugged in. Therefore, xbox icons were the only thing they were “designed” to ever work with.
If it isn’t ridiculously expensive and inefficient, it doesn’t really fit the definition of a triple-a game, because it specifically is the term for games with the highest production values and costs.
From what I’ve read, Waymo isn’t doing too bad of a job at it. They obviously aren’t perfect, but have succeeded at being much safer than human drivers. But those cars have a bazillion different sensors bolted on them, while Tesla is trying to do the same with nothing but a few cameras and computer vision systems.
And the opponents wait for 2 seconds after finishing their attacks. Soulslikes are all about learning the patterns and finding the opportunities to hit between dodges, not about mindlessly hack-n-slashing your way to victory.
And different weapons work for different people, I have some I’m absolutely useless with because I just can’t work with their movesets.
“412 people (403 professional roles, 9 thanks) with 502 credits.” https://www.mobygames.com/game/241065/clair-obscur-expedition-33/credits/windows/?autoplatform=true
As for those compared budgets, CoD Black Ops Cold War cost $700 million and GTA 6 has already surpassed a billion.
There is an argument to be made that Expedition 33 was essentially created by a studio with 30 people (though once you add everyone that worked on it the credits do balloon to over 400) with a rather small budget, and meanwhile companies like Rockstar, Sony and Activision have thousands working for years and spending hundreds of millions creating games like GTA 6, CoD and Concord, so naturally they should be a lot more expensive to buy too.
They just shouldn’t be surprised if people don’t buy all the $500 Waguy steak on offer and are perfectly happy with way cheaper options.
I do choose carefully, I buy half a dozen indie games on sale instead, and I have nothing to complain about.
Yet it is.
You can go to a company and ask to buy their office building. Or the name trademark. Or staff. Or customer database. Or website. And you continue this until you’ve acquired literally everything the company has except the actual company itself - it’s called an “asset acquisition” - so you get all the stuff, but because the original company technically still exists it’s left with most of the liabilities.
Most, because some liabilities thankfully do transfer.
In this instance:
According to VPNSecure’s owners, their acquisition netted them “the tech, the brand, and the infrastructure/technology—but none of the company, contracts, payments, or obligations from the previous owners.”
…how you can claim not to have gotten the contracts, yet be in a position to cancel them sound a bit of a, well, lie.
Yup.
I’ve spent a good while running Deck in desktop mode compared to my laptop running Manjaro, and so far the only thing I’ve noticed is that the Deck has that handy “add to steam” context menu item that automatically sets a 3rd party game to run in proton through steam.
And there’s an AUR package for that.
So unless there’s something major I’ve managed to miss, Manjaro + that package gets you the entire desktop SteamOS experience on any device.
He has been going at it for over three decades already (Gates foundation was started in 1994) and he founded and signed the Giving Pledge in 2010, so it isn’t really that late-life.
Gates foundation has donated over 100 billion already, 60 billion directly from him
That’s a bit more than “tossing a few million a year”.
The only way I could manage my evil dark urge & minthara playthrough was to leave Karlach entirely unrecruited. Not that you could even get that far with her anyway as she doesn’t agree with evil choices and will sooner or later leave.
