I think people can take issue with the funding model while still believing in the development effort as a whole. The funding model can change, after all.

I'm not comparing their scale, just the ability to enjoy something without it seeming like there's much there to others. But if you want to compare, I was imagining MC back before even the Nether. I had plenty of fun just mining and stacking blocks to build whatever, nothing like what became available toward 1.0. SC is kind of in the same situation, but their timeline is just 20x greater because of the scope.

To be fair, CIG is also developing 2 games at once in SC and Squadron 42, the latter of which will actually be released first. The reasons for this are a whole other thing though.

What tech demos are you referring to specifically and how are they not connected? I guess there's flight tech, fps tech, cargo tech, economy tech, etc, but you can walk to your ship, fly off, land somewhere, shoot guys, loot some cargo, put it on your ship, fly back to a city, and sell it, all in one go. One thing that's actually disconnected is Arena Commander, but that's specifically for people that want more traditional, arcadey pvp.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that wouldn't consider just flying around, exploring, and doing the current missions a game, but you could say something similar about early Minecraft. In sure some didn't see the point without more structure or features, but that didn't stop them from enjoying what was there and looking forward to the future

As bug ridden and feature incomplete as Star Citizen is right now, I really can't deny how beautifully detailed the ships and cities are. It is actually quite difficult to ignore.

What does "let him try and find the hard drive" really mean? Does he just want access to the landfill or is he expecting some kind of cooperation with the workers? How disruptive is he going to be?

Stat Citizen has its problems, but it's literally not vaporware since there's something available that you can download and play with.

For the record you weren't the one I was criticizing

All the snarky well-actuallys on an unserious community really make me want to browse Lemmy more

I don't think I've experienced this with stationary objects like stations or rocks, but definitely with enemy ships. I imagine it's due to some desync, but I'll take it happily

How many people that go free climbing actually fall to their deaths though? Were those people not being careful?

Good investigations take more than a week and certainly won't rely primarily on employee testimony. If things are as bad as they say, it'll come out in things like maintenance logs, environmental testing, animal health records etc.

Who okayed this article? It's just a signal boost of the Inside Gaming article with nothing new added besides anti-Cloud Imperium fluff. Also, they actually misrepresent the lieu time given, conflating the Citizencon lieu time for the Squadron 42 lieu time that has a restriction on when it can be used. As far as the original article goes, there aren't any know restrictions on the former.

Only for games made with UE, so probably doesn't affect the majority of smaller/indie games. Instead, Epic should keep the fees and reinvest in their platform since it looks and feels like EA's Origin circa 2015.

Use an Instagram-specific site container to isolate your activity from your normal browsing. Imo this is really the only thing that matters that doesn't have to do with your self control. You want to make sure Meta gets nothing from cross-site tracking and containerizing IG should do that. Also, don't visit links to and from IG. Look it up manually through IG search.

Where does it say it was a manual review?

Claim to have, sure. But actually have, probably few, at least until that have start dealing with the condition

10. You probably want a distro that comes with KDE Plasma. Ubuntu uses GNOME and is not as customizable Plasma ootb. KDE Neon for more stable, Manjaro for more bleeding-edge. Note that you can install Plasma on distros that don't come with it so you don't have to get those distros for Plasma.
11. The reason different distros may be listed for installing software on Linux is purely because of the different package managers that the distros use. You won't run into any software that works on one distro and won't work on another. The only difference may be the way to install it. The universal way is to build it from source, but if you're not up for that then check your distro repo via the distros software store, check Flathub for a flatpak version (software stores are usually already configured to use Flathub as a source), or if you're on an Arch-based distro like Manjaro, check the AUR.
12. KDE Plasma has exactly the keyboard shortcut functionality you're looking for.

This makes sense coming from Suda51. I imagine other devs whose games have mostly cult followings would agree as well. Metacritic has the exact same problems as Rotten Tomatoes.
