Of course they didn’t leave any documentation because management said that writing it was a waste of time

I mean, he was partnered with Disney before “the bridge incident” too…

Because their owners are becoming the new and improved oil barons and want to be included in their cool boys club ?

Well I just don’t think that many survival games did that to copy Minecraft. If anything they were probably more influenced by DayZ which also had a hotbar as a Arma mod. Especially Rust which also has some source engine/Gmod influences (also featuring hotbars) because Garry Newman.

Hotbars have been around long before Minecraft

I fail to see how a Steam’s quasi monopoly should affect game engines sales. Or is that about Fortnite ? Because I have an easy answer right there : its main demographics are kids who are either locked to their console’s ecosystem, or on the off chance that they’re playing on PC, they likely don’t have 587 unplayed games in their steam library, so they couldn’t care less that the game all their friends play is on EGS.
That is basically the strategy with all the free games imo. Trying to reproduce what steam did (through big sales and some very alluring giveaways during the first ones, e.g literally get all current and future Steam games for free, or the top 10 games on your wishlist, etc) on these kids, so they stay on that store.

I think PC gamers’ boner for Steam is extremely unhealthy and has been slowly killing the only good storefront for a while (GOG) and will blow up in our faces when (not if) Gabe ends up being replaced by some suit who only cares about money.

Epic probably bankrolled a significant chunk of development to get that deal. Whether accepting the deal was a bad move or not is really hard to say

Western Digital used to be great. Don’t know if they still are. I never had an issue with any of my HDDs from them (I only ever bought the high end stuff though)

Know thine enemy.

I usually think that gamers are by and large not critical enough when it comes to valve, but surely if they wanted to make a closed off ecosystem they wouldn’t have based it on Linux and open sourced it

Big “if” these days

Yeah. But now they don’t have any advantages over other cafés. Except the fact that their coffees basically double as a rich snack I guess.

IIRC you could just telekinesis the bodies since only the ones that were actually dead would react to it. But stomping on every body as Isaac Clarke’s PTSD starts to set in is lore accurate.

Might be their ISP. I know mine routes my stuff through some datacenter somewhere else in my country if I use ipv4 (probably because they don’t have enough ipv4 addresses for everyone). Which I do, because their IPv6 protocol shits the bed if I actually use the bandwidth I’m paying for 🙄

Yep that’s basically it. “Rare W” is not an endorsement, it’s pretty much the opposite : recognizing that an otherwise terrible person/organization did something good or made a good point for once.

I mean, I agree that at this point, building nuclear reactors probably won’t help with these problems. But shutting down already built reactors that could still have been safely used for years was incredibly stupid imo. They could have used these as backup for peaks instead of coal and gas.

He also had a habit of eating raw or even partly rotten meat for a while IIRC. That’s probably how he got that brain worm.

The behind the bastards podcast about him was a wild ride

Rare RFK W.

MH17 was also on purpose to some extent. It was a civilian airliner with its transponder turned on, you can’t really mistake it for something else

That’s understandable, I didn’t know that specific emblem and had to look extra hard to notice the coat of arms since it’s quite discreet
