It seems weird to target those consoles. They are wildly different.

Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It’s a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.
It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.
I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.
Flathead is a description of the head profile, like panhead. Slotted is the screwdriver type that is just a single slot.
People still sculpt. Go look up Bobby Fingers on YouTube to get an idea of what sculpting looks like.
There are a variety of clays. From what I hear, most sculptors use some form of air-dry, not firing clay like pottery would use.
Nobody ever sculpted in marble. You would sculpt in clay, make a plaster mold, fine-tune the design, then meticulously transfer it to marble.
They have two avenues to make money:
Generative AI doesn’t get any training in use. The explosion in public AI offerings falls into three categories:
To make a good model you need two things:
User data might meet need 2, but it fails at need 1. Running random data through neural networks to make it more exploitable (more accurate interest extraction, etc) makes sense, but training on that data doesn’t.
This is clearly demonstrated by Google’s search AI, which learned lots of useful info from Reddit but also learned absurd lies with the same weight. Not just overtuned-for-confidence lies, straight up glue-the-cheese-on lies.
Windows has OpenRA, which is a modern open-source engine that runs Dune II, C&C, and RA. It also has WIP support for TibSun and RA2, though they can’t distribute the content for those as easily.
Check out the demo if you have a chance. The game is a lot of fun and it has some pretty funny demo-exclusive writing.
That’s exactly what it is. Firefox’s advanced tracking protection blocks connections to social media sites from other sites so that social media can’t see your behavior on the rest of the Internet.
Twitter started moving some things to a different domain and FF saw it as a third-party, blocking connections from it to the old Twitter domains.
Yet another reason the rebrand is dumb.
A single registry edit to a key that doesn’t exist because they wanted to obscure that it was possible.
This is what I’ve found too. Tutorials help to learn tools and some basic techniques, but actual learning requires doing. That’s easy if you have something you want to do, but incredibly difficult if you don’t.
Factorio is the best manufacturing/logistics sim by a huge margin. Some of that is technical things, but the biggest contributor is game balance and the complexity curve. They spent years iterating to find a sweet spot.
They specifically used it to make major players blatantly cheat during a tournament so that it would be taken seriously and fixed quickly.
Have you ever heard big cats? They sound like little cats but… deeper. I feel like dinosaurs would sound like birds with similar deepening, depending on the size of the dino.
There are a couple of decent reasons. One is that your servers may be a network of services that can’t operate independently. Another is that they may rely on things you don’t have a license to distribute.
Yeah, I got most of the way through DoS2 and gave up. Every fight was a giant mess of surfaces. Reducing that makes BG3 far more enjoyable.
My understanding is that amortization is the confusing part of the situation OP is asking about. When you have an asset, the cost of it is deducted from income over the useful life. By declaring that it will never be released, the useful life is reduced to zero, allowing them to take the whole tax deduction at once.
They still would have been better off never spending the money. Since they already have, if they have so little cash that they can’t afford their tax bill, it might make sense to throw away future income to stay afloat now.
It gets thrown around a lot as a buzzword, but it really just means “intended to get post-release updates that go beyond bug fixes.” Nearly every game released these days, good or not, classifies as GaaS. It’s functionally meaningless.
