Looks like they're going back to Ryza's exploration/gathering tools, which is great. I loved that system, and the constantly making of newer and better tools.

Unfortunately, it looks like they kept the mobile Resleriana game's synthesis. Weak. :(

Ah, yeah, I think I remember that. It was pretty obvious it would be brutal for a lot of gamedev companies there, and I wasn't surprised at all that it didn't end up going through.

I'm not sure what you mean. The in-game reward path still has a daily "check in" task for points. And the daily "do 4 tasks" thing is in there, though they've opened it up a lot, which I really appreciate. (You can now do quests, open chests, or anything that costs energy to complete them, as well as the standard 4 mini-quests.) And the web checkin is still daily, with only 3 days that you can reclaim by visiting certain pages.

I've played Genshin almost since the start (took a break for a while) and it's had daily tasks the whole time. You earn gems and other in-game rewards every day for it. There's also an additional web-based daily checkin as well.

A lot of people see an upvote as a signal that they endorse the message, or at least want it to spread.

A downvote is the opposite of that.

You'll never convince people not to "shoot the messenger" on link aggregators because it's antithetical to their view of the system.

I watched a youtuber that was using this, and the cost to print something was pretty high. Like a 2 inch by 2 inch tile with a little depth was like $2 USD for the ink/resin alone. A larger board that looked like it was about 1 ft by 2 ft, with a single layer of print (no depth), was about $25, IIRC.

It's beautiful, but so expensive to run, IMO.

Apparently not. I had to click a few pages into their site for this:

"While Eclipse Theia incorporates certain components from Visual Studio Code, such as the Monaco editor, it is independently developed with a modular architecture and is not a fork of VS Code."

I've bought stuff from Temu and without installing the app. I'm sure it recommends installing the app if you tap the ad on a phone, but not on desktop.

Those "former marketing leads" are former for a reason then, I guess. There's absolutely no way that Nintendo is going to "eat the cost" on this.

For one thing, the Chinese tariffs are more than 100%. They are certainly not going to pay to ship their console.

But they've been pretty clear in the past that they aren't about "loss leaders" and will charge what the console is worth.

They do. You'll see a lot of hate for DLSS on social media, but if you go to the forums or any newly-released game that doesn't have DLSS, you'll find at least one post demanding that they implement it. If it's on by default, most people don't ever touch that setting and they're fine with it.

They shouldn't, but since the game has been enhanced, there's a good chance that something will go a little wrong and need a patch. I would actually guess that most of them end up with a patch, but only a few end up with game-breaking bugs and need a patch.

It's just Rosie the Riveter, as a dragon... For some reason.

It does feel weird to copy something so obviously and use it for a union logo.

I really appreciate the specificity of the headline, rather than the clickbait it could have been.
