It's a shame, but unsurprising. Especially with everyone addicted to live service skinner boxes now and a certain someone insisting live services would cease to exist overnight if this went anywhere.
We have high power compute machines at my workplace for environmental modelling, named Motherbrain and Daughter after the environmental control computers from Phantasy Star 4. I am entirely to blame and I have no regrets. The only downside is when a younger engineer finds out and asks me if nudge wink maybe it's a Metroid reference. :P
Always hated the subtitles of Jeremy's line here. It's all it italics except the word "like". Suggesting either every word has emphasis except that one word, which is nonsense. Or that the emphasis is on "like", which doesn't work either in this context. Plus I remember this episode, and I'm pretty sure he put emphasis on "I" and "this"…
A streamer I watch will always say "Let's all see how hard we can pee" before she goes brb to pee. I knew she was refing this meme but it's nice to see it again regardless. :P
Couldn't tell you, I don't know what AL is. Dynamics is actually a bunch of different enterprise apps loosely lashed together with twine, so X++ might only be for Finance & Operations.
Fun fact, making extensions for this requires you to learn a new language called X++ that is based on .net framework 4.7. Development is done only on azure-hosted VMs that contain the application code and sql server and web host and visual studio with the special X++ build tools, all on one host that runs like shit at your expense.
There's more to it than laziness. I am fucking lazy and I always return the trolley. You have to be also selfishly unconcerned for the experience of your fellow man.
70% seems super low, I'd say 100%. Given enough time, if the online component is not released or emulated, that portion of the game that requires it WILL die. It is inevitable.
Hard to say without having used Arch. I just really like Portage. It does some really neat things.
