Soo... how 'bout that Unity blowup? !vgp
Sunday, 17-Sep-23 00:44:43 UTC from web-
@scribus Unity is in the red for years and buying Weta wasn't cheap so they were grasping for the most stupid decision to gain (repeatable) revenue by choosing to get paid by the amount of installs of the games. The problem is that indie game developers have very little profit and it can cost more in the long run than it gained profit. Also the way to determine the amount of installs is not clear. The last information I heard was that Unity wanted to use a heuristic to guess the amount of installs. Also Unity did that decision out of nowhere and tried to cover their tracks by sneakily removing paragraphs in their license that would hinder that license change. Unity had image problems (being used for asset-flip games, taking a lot of time for updates and being behind on the technical side) before but that was a huge kick in the balls to devs and all people who bought games made with Unity.

@adiwan their president also sold 2000 shares just before the install thing was announced, adding up to about 50k in the preceding year. seems bad
-
@zeldatra Him being at EA before that goes great with that... I read that that amount of stocks was only a very small percentage of his stock holdings. Still looks scummy.

why is there not a chapter in Yakuza: Like A Dragon dedicated to Kiryu suffering from long COVID due to his age and smoking habits? Bad unrealistic game

Lauren Boebert gave her boyfriend an old fashioned at a showing of Beetlejuice in Colorado Springs and all I’m really getting out of this is that I should be buying tickets to Beetlejuice.

Very cool and normal that you need to limit your game to only use two CPU cores in order to do the fishing minigame, SEGA.

@scribus game crashes if it has access to too many resources on this one minigame in this one version of the game so I have to throttle it to keep from going insane while I’m fishing.

Weird thought I just had: do you think someone who doesn't know sign language would have an easier time understanding ASL or something improvised by another non-ASL-knower?
Thursday, 14-Sep-23 04:43:53 UTC from web-
@scribus Typed an entire response about how ASL would probably be the harder one only to realize that my reasoning applies to braille, not ASL. I found ASL somewhat easy to learn (could not use it today, though) and I’m crazy bad with foreign languages so maybe the answer’s in there somewhere?
-
@zeldatra According to 2 people on a discord server I'm on, one of whom has a non-verbal child, improvised is easier (and the ASL sign for "Hallway" and "Focus" are the same except for the eyebrows)

If you played all the Yakuzas as they were coming out, starting from Yakuza PS2, by the time you get to Yakuza 0 it probably starts to look like Kiryu actually died and the games that followed (in order, a samurai spin-off starring a real life historical figure with Kiryu’s face grafted on where he meets other real life historical figures who look like his friends and enemies, a prequel set in the 80s, and a remake of the first game with stuff that didn’t happen in the original release) are just his brain coming to terms with death

There are no restrooms in Washington DC metro stations. I had to venture into the city on Saturday to find a bathroom. Found a Macy’s. It was close enough. What I’m mad about is that in DC you get charged your fare when you leave the station rather than the way it works in Europe where you pay for a distance up front, so I basically paid $2 to use the bathroom.

@scribus In my city there are some but you have really look for them, as most of them are hidden. I used google maps today to look up where they are and I'm surprised that there are more than I thought. Even a place I regularly drove by had one and I didn't know until now. There are no big signs or like that. Most of them are near parks and they are hidden behind bushes.
-
@scribus Haha. Nah. I think they are there to reduce the eye sore of the out of place looking buildings.

I’m on Yakuza 0 right now, going back to the Kiwami play style is oddly refreshing. In a weird way the substory finder in 2-5 was detrimental to my experience of the game because instead of just wandering Kamurocho looking for things to do I was loading the game and bee-lining for the next marker on the map. Might see if there’s a way to turn it off in 6 and onwards.

I miss the good years of ponies, G5 just isn't the same as all we got last decade.

Gardening will be a pain. Everything is mostly overgrown with ivy. There was even a cut dead tree fully overgrown by that stuff. The tree was so decayed it was basically at the strength of cardboard. The ivy gave it the most structural integrity.
Sunday, 10-Sep-23 16:47:26 UTC from web-
@scribus I want the ivy to be exterminated. I don't allow it to have a second chance on my land. The main stem at one spot was as thick as my ring finger.

Just learned that women have their own restroom now. What will the woke feminists think of next ????
Saturday, 09-Sep-23 01:47:06 UTC from web-
@zeldatra i go into womens restrooms because they are typically cleaner and have kiwi like flowers and padded chairs.
