I’m here to stay.
Valve and Steam is actually the best thing happened to PC Gaming and Linux. No thanks, I want Valve and Steam succeed. I’ve seen the same claims over and over again and most of the time its wrong or disingenuous. I’m not saying Valve is a prophet, off course there are things I don’t like about.
But saying Valve is ripping every PC gamer is a lie.
Oh man, yes! IceFrog is the one who is behind Deadlock as well. Makes sense with this game to have fun with frogs. And the other projects might be just inspired and the frog becomes a symbol for success or change or whatever it is. Yes, probably related, good point.
Where does this sudden obsession with frogs come from at Valve? There is another project from a Valve employee related to frogs as well.
Here is another such list of DRM-free games on Steam: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam
Edit: I think this is an outdated version of the list. The following one is more up to date: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam
Thanks to Sony the prices for videogame hardware and software keeps getting up. Something that never happened before in the history of videogames. At least not by a large main console competitor in the gaming market.
I would choose a game I don’t care. Why? Because my art is bad and I don’t want to ruin a good game.
I don’t have much JavaScript experience, but maybe .toFixed()
will help here. Playground (copy the below code to the playground to test): https://playcode.io/javascript
const number = 0.1 + 0.2
const fixed = number.toFixed(3)
// Update header text
document.querySelector('#header').innerHTML = message
// Log to console
console.log(number)
console.log(fixed)
outputs:
0.30000000000000004
0.300
Don’t hate yourself. At least you searched it properly. See it this way, you learned from a failure more than anyone who did not fail. You are now stronger!
Popularity and ease of use I guess.
If you are adding 0.1 + 0.2, then it means you can cut off anything after the first digit (after the dot off course). Because the rest of the 0.1 is only 0 and the rest of 0.2 is 0. That can help with rounding errors on floating point calculations. I don’t program JavaScript, so no idea what the best way to go about it would be.
It doesn’t matter who does this, if Linux or cheaters or regular players who are not happy. Stopping others from playing the game is always bad behavior.
There are even popular YouTubers with millions of subscribers, who show proudly how to defeat the Anticheat tool day one. This will make Rockstar more harden and probably go for a deep Kernel level anticheat.
“Cheaters are attacking Rockstar for implementing an Anticheat.” reads like a parody headline in GTA itself. I mean off course there are some Linux users who can’t play it too, but let that put aside for a moment, because that makes sense. Let’s focus on protesting cheaters. xD
I got a bit triggered. Peace out, yo.
I agree with the overall sentiment, but with a butt. If they plan on doing DLC to make the main story shorter, then the game is basically unfinished and you have to pay for the finished product. Now, that’s not always true. Sometimes there are good examples and I think most people agree on the DLCs for Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are prime examples how to do it right. As long as the DLC is not at cost of the main game, I’m fine with it. But as you said, the main story should be long as it should and not longer.
The main money maker will be probably GTA Online 2 and GTA 6 is just the drug to get into the world.
What is the problem with the literal “6” figure, that you specifically mention this? I prefer using numerals, but that comes from a programming standpoint and so it becomes the default way of numbering things. Also sorting with roman is also an issue. It’s just a habit.
Do gamers struggle reading roman numerals?
Why making a problem out of nothing and then asking a question with an implicit attack? That guy just used a numeral, that’s all. There is no deep psychological background and that gamers suddenly have a problem with roman numerals.
Man this is Twitter level of shit talk!
I don’t see any problem here. The length of the main story in an open world game does not reflect how good the world design, the missions, the polish and how big the world actually is. I’m glad that Rockstar does not try to artificially lengthen the main story and makes it as it is intended and written. Too long games are often too long.
Really cool project! That it allows to run existing libraries in Python is probably the key factor why this will be successful. I’m not into the Lisp dialect and languages, but really enjoy the idea this exists.
BTW the documentation can be found here: https://hylang.org/hy/doc/
Just to add to the fuel: Apple has a patent for the swipe unlock on iPhones.
I’m from Germany too BTW, Hallo. :D My point was to distinguish copyrighted creative work from specific patented ideas. Patents are usually not about how it looks, but solving a specific (mechanical) problem. And they need to be paid and approved manually. While Copyright is automatically active on creation and is about creative work and or art in example. Copyright can can be licensed to any form like MIT. Patents cannot have a specific license like this to make derivatives.
You cannot put a dent into your tv and give it an MIT license. But you can go and patent this specific “Design Patent” (the name is not that bad actually!).
I want to give Valve money, not 100% he publisher. Why? Because Valve is actively working on Open Source and improving PC gaming (and even creating new devices and games). Unlike shops like Game Jolt, who just cuts part of the money for selling it on their platform.
