Yellow paint is just lazy level design.

Yes, yellow paint exists to solve a real issue. But many games before it have managed to fix that issue.

Wanna guide the player through a path? Have a guide NPC go before you (might even be the villain in a chase sequence!).

Want to clearly show in which places you can do X thing? Have a clear visually distinct asset that stands out mark those places. Make sure you don’t have similar assets elsewhere.

If the argument is accessibility, just make it an option to turn those special assets bright pink/yellow, or just a much more distinct (even if visually unappealing) asset for higher-budget games.

Wanna show which ledges are grabbable? This may be the only acceptable use case. But even then, there are more discrete ways like shining stones or have the character extend its arm towards it or something. Or just make basically every ledge grabbable. I had no issues in either sm64 nor in the original assassins creed, and neither had yellow paint.

You have to trust them though. That’s my point.They may say they are funded only by donations and still sell your data.

In fact the first link says the same as I do as the first phrase. When using a VPN, you are moving your trust from your ISP to your VPN provider.

Of course there may be exceptions that are actually free and don’t sell your data. But the ones that sell your data will rarely state so.

Idk what either of those are. I don’t endorse any VPN. All I’m saying is that it doesn’t matter how strong the encryption algorithm is, you still have to trust your provider.

VPNs have the exact same power over you as ISPs. Using a VPN to avoid your ISP is just kicking the can down the road. That’s why you better choose a VPN that you trust.

It’s not the cryptography you have to trust. It’s the other end of the tunnel. A free VPN most probably sells your data. Nobody offers free services for actually free.

It works. As long as it’s not a Thursday. Or any other day with a 5% chance or so.

I just selfhost in my own computer. 100% uptime when I need it (I don’t need it when my computer is turned off). And as a bonus, it’s not on the public internet so I’m not training slop scrappers.

Factorio does have high quality graphics, sounds an animations. It is just in 2D instead of 3D.

But if you price a product based on its cost instead of its value, you do you.

I prefer to pay 30k€ for a car than pay 60k€ for a worse car that happens to have a steering wheel made out of solid gold.

That was not the point. The point is that Factorio is in a similar level of quality. That is the top one. If you believe that 3X€ is too expensive for a top game, then you are saying that every game out there that is >30€ is overpriced.

If you believe that, you are honestly way out of touch with reality. 30€ is on the low side of a price for a game. Most AAA games are >60€.

No AAA value? It’s up there with Minecraft and terraria as one of the best games.

I’d say it’s better than any AAA if you consider the games above “indie”

The X just sends a signal to your application. If you ignore that signal, it will just do nothing.

That signal tells your application to clean itself. Maybe the changed how that “cleaning itself” worked, in a way that lead to actually ignoring the signal all together.

The thing is easy to break. The question is how that even got past QA testing. Or even just any other dev testing.

A single person launching the program and trying to close it should see the bug.

Jokes on you. Boost does not support spoilers, making it 0 clicks.

They can also have their fat taken and not put into anyone though

The UN is not a society. There are many groups without a leader. But when talking about anarchism, people usually mean anarchist society.

That’s like saying FAANG is anarchism, because they talk among themselves without there being a leader.

The Dow is over 45000! I said over a big number, so it must be good right?

They already trained their AIs on basically all the GPL code. They don’t care.

It’s so primitive you can call it whatever. Just as you call it primitive communism, someone could probably argue it is primitive feudalism, capitalism, anarchy, or whatever else.

Maybe shouldn’tve give a presidential coca cola to an openly fascist dorito.

The worst case scenario also being the most common.

Why would they lie about that? If they truly are laying people off because of AI, they could say so and get a boost in investment since everyone seems to be investing in “AI companies”.

They could also just hide the fact that their cash cow (Fortnite) is not infinite.

Instead, they told actual reason that make actual sense for laying people off.

Of course, they probably have way more than enough money to pay those 1000 people. And you could critizise them for that instead.

I don’t understand how asking that question to “my politicians” would achieve anything.

“My politicians” are not arguing that prices increasing by a bit makes it okay for prices to increase by a lot. I’d argue that most of them would say that a little bit of inflation is good for the economy while hyperinflation is bad. Which I interpret as them knowing that “a little” is not the same as “a lot”. Which the above commenter doesn’t seem to know. Or at least knows only when it is convenient. Schrodinger’s knowledge perhaps.
