The vast majority of our power comes from making something really hot and boiling water. Coal plant? Oil plant? Gas plant? Nuclear fission plant? Geothermal plant? The grand holy grail of energy production that would be a nuclear fusion plant? All steam engines.
Yes, unbeknownst to everyone, this is what a steampunk society realistically looks like.
How's the game these days? I like the idea of it, but when I saw my friend play it around launch I was put off from buying it due to all the problems it had. Or just the bad design in some areas.
Like, how is enemy AI? Are they still brain dead?
How are the game's physics? Do they still cause weird things to happen?
Since I'm not seeing it mentioned here, I will. Intel ARC cards have issues with Unreal Engine 5. Expect graphical artefacting in Dune Awakening, and ten-fold the artefacting in Oblivion Remastered and Avowed.
Looking at the Mesa forums they already found what is causing the graphical issues and made a quick fix for it which will be added to Mesa... Who knows? It's been a while since they found a fix and it's still not part of my Mesa driver.
Goes well with the rest of the room. Would be a shame there weren't more sea related items in the room, though. Gotta commit to the theme besides the sexy sirens.
I know. I like online content as well. Some of the games I spent the most hours in (Warframe, Helldivers 2) are these kinds of games. But if a corpo lobbying group is forcing the choice between "Enshittified always online" or "never any online content ever anymore" I'll choose the latter.
You sold them your prints, didn't you? They're not allowed to claim any ownership over the art of your photography, but they still are owners of the print they bought.
What we call "morality" is simply put to words those behaviours that has made us a successful species. We are a communal species, one of our greatest strengths being the delegation and specialisation of tasks; all working together. Everything we've built, everything we've achieved, can be attributed to that feature of our species.
Now, imagine how far we'd get if every individual in our species acted "amorally".
... as the protections we put in place to secure players’ data, remove illegal content, and combat unsafe community content would not exist...
There are third party options for this.
... and would leave rights holders liable.
Liable for what? A service everyone knows they're no longer providing? Are car manufacturers still liable for 50 year old rusty cars people still drive? Can Apple today be held liable for a software vulnerability in the Lisa or the Mac II?
In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.
Then don't design games that way. Don't make games like these. This is good news, actually.
I wonder what the "license" part of "unlicensed cinema" is. Could it... Could it just maybe have something to do with... Not actually owning the things you buy, and therefore requiring a license?

You can literally get that sleek glassy look on Linux too.
