Bro what the hell are you talking about. This is about the outcome of the election subversion case (which was 2020), not the outcome of the election (2024).
I think I depends on the laugh for me. Like I don't mind a haha this is a joke kind of laugh. But a haha omg I am the funniest person alive type of laugh would be met with some ridicule.
Hard to I explain the difference in text, but hopefully you get the gist!
Seeing the same news posted two days later is considered terminally online?
How can we have a discussion about news if we pretend whatever we discussed yesterday doesn't exist anymore?
If there was a new development I wouldn't speak up. But this is just a different outlet posting the same news story, only two days later compared to the rest.
I'm not gonna watch the whole video, so apologies if this is addressed in the video.
It's not necessarily a problem of the engine. Sure, there are bugs, compatibility problems, regression, etc that will happen from time to time, setting back development milestones or simply just break existing games until they are patched.
But, the cause here is the people using the tools: AAA-studios have laid off so much staff that experts regarding UE(5) aren't involved anymore. Plus, QA, and by extension optimization, has been hit hard too.
So you got developers who don't fully know how to use the engine to its fullest, and a gutted QA department that won't be able to get all the issues reported, tested and prioritized anymore.
I’ve never seen something “go viral” like this on lemmy before.
I think they are just trends that start becoming popular because people are bored. At least, that's how it can start.
I imagine for every user that's like "that's cool!", there's another user who's like "alright time to avoid Lemmy for a while", so perhaps there is not much to glean from the metrics.
Am interested in any data too though, if it's there
I don't have the means to watch the entire video at the moment, but the description struck me as strange:
Dragon Age Veilguard joins the ranks of Concord and Redfall in the history of commercial game failures
It wasn't a massive hit but as far as I know, DA: TV sold a lot more than Concord and Redfall. By estimates, probably 3x as much as those titles combined.
Was that enough to recoup cost? Probably not. Is it fair to put DA: TV in the same breath as Concord and Redfall? Absolutely not.
I don't think it's the reason, but my guess is that people see their PC as personal property in the sense of "I get to decide what happens to my hardware", while others are more like services.
Android would be similar, but as far as I know I can still use my phone without a Google account, and then there's people that completely de-googled their phone so it doesn't even apply to them.
