My grandparents from one side of the family left me nothing, and the other side left two weeks rent. I know the direct descendants come first but at least give the grandkids 15% or something, it would have helped so much. We're all working twice as hard to afford half the lifestyle our parents had
“It was pretty much done, it was in final [quality assurance testing],” Free Radical founder and former studio director Steve Ellis told GamesIndustry.biz in 2012. “It had been in final QA for half of 2008, it was just being fixed for release. LucasArts’ opinion is that when you launch a game you have to spend big on the marketing, and they’re right. But at that time they were, for whatever reason, unable to commit to spending big. They effectively canned a game that was finished.”
I'm wondering if we're in the process of seeing the parties flip tbh. It seems like D's are becoming more conservative and R's are now trying to make systemic changes. Granted it's not a perfect flip and R-progressiveness is more like going backwards at times (abortion) but things feel weird now.
D: Trying to maintain (aka conserve) the status quo. Haven't been truly progressive for decades. Doesn't seem to have learned anything from losing in 2024.
R: Got suddenly forced into populism by Trump's surprise win and staying power. Their status quo rich politicians are all being forced out. "Anti-Elites" and big chaotic changes are now their calling cards.
If R's realize that voters will strongly support them for attacking the rich, it might happen imo.
Whenever you see hardcore fans say "this obscure low budget game is the actually the greatest of all time", chances are it's just bad. TQ is one of those games. I played it this year (all expacs) because of the hype and it was not a good use of my time.
I support their prices but most of the lawsuits are bad.
The switch emulator scene did fly too close to the sun, since they were taking donations and pirating games on day 1. Most places wait until the console generation is over before getting to work on software preservation
Compare Llama 1 to the current state of the art local AI's. They're on a completely different level.
