I mean I’ve always had an issue that digital goods could always be revoked/taken back. That’s why I didn’t buy things on steam until it became basically the only way (as consoles have less physical media). This is just a great reminder for the public that we’re consistently loosing control over our digital lives.

I’ve been an advocate for forcing companies to change the wording for digital goofs to “lease” rather than “buy”. Cause at the end of the day, no one owns their steam library.

My understanding is that it’s a difficult feature to support and they can’t guarantee it works well. That’s the only explanation I’ve ever seen, cause to me it’s almost critical for working on a laptop.

I dont get why hibernate isn’t a more popular feature, I use it extensively as I hate having to set everything back up on each restart.

Its also one of my biggest issues with using Linux as it’s usually broken there.

Not a demake or a game, but there is a “Mummy Demastered”, which is a Metroidvania demake of the Tom Cruise mummy movie. It’s actually decent and considered better than the movie.

Fair point then about the arguement around safety. For me the bigger issue is control. Cars with kill switches and conditions to use is a slippery slope. Just look at what’s happened with software and media. Don’t want to have to pirate my car or load custom firmware so I can use it as I want.

I don’t think there is a car where the seat belt is tied to anything besides a little notification beep. Seems like a different situation if the “safety” feature dictates how the car is used.

If you played and liked any game like dead cells or rouge legacy, then Hades should be worth it.

Its basically an action rpg rougelite with a lot of unlock ables, story directly tied to the die/repeat cycle, and lots of interesting challenges.

If you like rougelikes then you’ll get your money out of it. Honestly it’s worth more than that, but it does go on sale occasionally and they’ve already released (in early access) a sequel Hades 2.

Yeah that’s right, seems my link didn’t populate right.

For those who aren’t familiar with the word, it comes from the 1961 scifi novel “Stranger in a Strange Land”.

It’s been a really sad console generation. It could be because I got a steam deck, but only Nintendo seems to be putting out 1st party games that are any good (and even then it’s been hit or miss).

Do you still use WASM? I’ve been exploring the space and wasn’t sure what the best tools are for developing in that space.

If you’re into Metroidvanias “Prince of Persia: Lost Crown” was actually a real surprise hit. I think it’s the first Ubisoft game I’ve played in years.

Isn’t that just the difference between weight and mass?

I appreciate the response!

I’ve definitely used tools like LocalStack before and when it works it’s great, but sadly doesn’t usually provide a 1-to-1 replacement.

Seeing your different approaches is helpful and I will have to see what elements I can pull into my current projects!

Hey OP, it looks like you’re the author of the post? If so I’m curious how you handle cloud services like AWS or Azure when taking this approach? One of the major issues I’ve run into when working with teams is how to test or evaluate against cloud services without creating an entire infrastructure in the cloud for testing.

Also “win + - > or <-” to move a tile to left or right side.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Just need to throw some foil on it and you’ve got a very expensive new buddy.

Anyone have a high level breakdown of what this update contains?

This is just the estimates to train the model, so it’s not accounting for the cost to develop the system for training, collecting the data, etc. This is just pure processing cost, which is staggeringly large numbers.
