Still too expensive.

I buy indie and some AA almost exclusively nowadays, they're usually the better games anyway.

Some small indie studios would become AA studios and some new small indie studios would appear, so it's ok. At least for some time the industry would partially heal.

If it's anything like the first part, it won't have Denuvo. Besides, I still refuse to pay 70-80€ for a new game, especially in digital format.

Rockstar Games, a division of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., will ask employees to return to the office five days a week beginning in April as the video-game maker enters the final stages of development on its next game, the hotly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI.

In an email to staff on Wednesday reviewed by Bloomberg, Rockstar Head of Publishing Jenn Kolbe said the decision was made for productivity and security reasons. The company has faced several security breaches including a massive dump of early footage from the new Grand Theft Auto and an early trailer that leaked in December.

Kolbe wrote that the company also found “tangible benefits” from in-person work. “Making these changes now puts us in the best position to deliver the next Grand Theft Auto at the level of quality and polish we know it requires, along with a publishing roadmap that matches the scale and ambition of the game,” she wrote.

Return-to-office mandates have been a hot topic across various industries since the pandemic forced myriad employees to work from home. More recently, many employers have asked staff to return to the office for two or three days a week. A study last month found that remote work did not have an impact on productivity.

The issue has been particularly controversial among video-game workers thanks to the volatility of the industry and its lack of a centralized workforce. Many of 2023’s biggest video-game hits, such as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games, were developed remotely.

Just speculation, but there must be a reason why they target Yuzu but not Ryujinx. Maybe because Ryujinx is open source and there is nothing illegal in the code?

Edit: A word.

It's-a Me, Streisand!

Meanwhile Ryujinx

Hopefully this means they'll free Fantasian from its cage.

I used to turn Airplane Mode on during my LSD trips many years ago, pretty useful.

I started using EndeavourOS in 2022 and used it for around a year, then hopped to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to give something else a try (why is distro hopping enjoyable? it should be a nightmare). After a few months I came back to Endeavour, it feels snappier and has some software I wasn't able to find so easily on Tubleweed (I think PopcornTime was one of them). I think Endeavour is the best way to experience Arch for the first time if you don't want too many headaches.

I've seen Asian supermarkets selling jellyfish, I guess it was flavoured in some way. Never got to try it though.
