Skyrim lead designer says Bethesda can't just switch engines because the current one is "perfectly tuned" to make the studio's RPGs
  • I do think they have a point: there's not many other engines I can think of that are quite as 'tangible' as theirs. Every object has its physical place in the world and can be picked up, manipulated,... in a way that's unlike other engines where the world just feels more static.

    USA | California governor vetoes bill requiring speeding alerts in new cars
  • We have this in Europe for new cars, and the issue everyone expects is that cars are terrible at accurately knowing the speed limit. Current cars often can already show what they think the speed limit is, but it's often inaccurate due to missing a sign or road crossing, or any other software/image recognition problems. Which means you're bound to get false positives, causing drivers to turn off the warnings each time.

  • That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com

    What undeniable garbage you secretly love?
  • Yeah, in fact I think that's a majority of those cases. Vocal minority of reactionaries and/or fans disappointed that their expectations weren't met despite the product on its own being good

    I just cited myself.
  • Oh, that's not even showing as a missing character, to me it just looks like 0.9

    Plants VS Rule
  • It refers to the annexes you see growing out of the back of the house. People used to (and sometimes still do) start with a modest house, and then as time went on and money came in, build out into the yard, adding a new kitchen, toilet, shed, veranda, etc.

    It has since also come to refer to things that get extended and patched up over time without a lot of coherence or forethought, like our tax codes (they just add rules, bonuses, penalties, etc. on top of the baseline instead of doing a thorough tax reform)
