  • There are no changes to the nbn wholesale pricing of these speed tiers arising from the speed increases.

    Interesting, but how will this affect the price for end users? There are other fees charged to the ISPs too?

    I am suspicious because NBNco only mentions wholesale pricing in this article, not end user pricing. They would have modelled it and then chosen not to talk about it. They might not technically be the entity finally billing you, but they're responsible for strong and direct impacts on what users pay.

  • It's a gorgeous game experience. Not to mention they put so many other gamedevs to shame with their technical accomplishments (especially in the expansion -- flooding waves in a ringworld!).

    Don't look up spoilers. Get yourself a copy and play it. Find somewhere to land your spaceship :)

  • The whole thing is vaguely and noncomittally worded, it promises basically nothing.

    Take this bit for example:

    taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it

    In other words: talk to the individual publishers of each game and get their permission :P At which point GOG's involvement is almost irrelevant, if you have the publisher's consent then they might as well give you a copy.

  • I would assume that court orders and proved wills have different levels of coercion when you present them to someone like GOG? Dunno. Each country probably has its own rules, including fun complexities like whether or not GOG was a party to the process or not.

  • Title of PCGamer's article is misleading, they want a court order to do it. Proof of death is not enough.

    "In general, your GOG account and GOG content is not transferable. However, if you can obtain a copy of a court order that specifically entitles someone to your GOG personal account, the digital content attached to it taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it, and that specifically refers to your GOG username or at least email address used to create such an account, we'd do our best to make it happen. We're willing to handle such a situation and preserve your GOG library—but currently we can only do it with the help of the justice system."

    They have to do that anyway. Court orders overrule a company's policies in most (all?) legal systems.

  • Pixel art

  • Perhaps the software OP is using has a second layer of generation (with a different network) that focuses on details like eyes. It might not even know the input prompt (and if it does then it might not have the training background to reward keeping things pixelated).

  • or simply inconveniencing them though

    Screwing. 100% screwing.

    An inconvenience is not being able to get someone on the phone in minutes or hours. Screwing is making someone spend days, weeks or months trying to get you on the phone and navigate a system that's supposed to help them, not hurt them.

    My dad isn't at pension age yet and has been struggling the last few years whilst being a full time carer of my grandmother. It has often taken days to weeks of calling to get through and weeks to months get things approved.

    Whereas, there are so many services we have that are for ACTUAL emergencies, and require fast service, where the money would save lives.

    You have this so backwards.

    Centrelink saves lives. Support saves lives. Welfare saves lives.

    If you don't support people then they end up having to use the emergency services. Is it cheaper to support people before the need emergency services rather than after. You can't house all the unemployed, disabled, pensioners, veterans (and other people I've probably forgotten) in emergency wards, these people don't magically end up fed, housed and cared for if make Centrelink and related services a nightmare to deal with.

    My dad has been keeping my grandmother out of hospital. She's now in a nursing home, funded mostly by government, that is keeping her out of hospital. It is extremely costly to put her in a hospital bed.
