The actual number of applications was not disclosed.

So then the article doesn’t really say much, does it. It could well be 20->31 applicants.

Love that every gradient step is 10% except for the first, which is a whopping 50%. Really telling of how bad things are

True, but it looks like it may have been a railway issue on that (recently renovated) sector.

AGAIN? Holy crap, if this wasn’t sabotage then heads need to roll in that ministry

Good luck finding a dev that doesn’t want to use/ isn’t forced to use / doesn’t lie about using AI tools.

Ar this point if we’re to shun all AI tools we might just give up the hobby.

For an article quoting a study, this one is embarrasingly short on actual references or links to the reddit subs and posts it mentions. There’s literally only a link to the 2018 study and the rest coild well be speculation.

Now I don’t know about corporate manipulation, but what I can confirm I’ve seen is a lot of small businesses using reddit to shift opinions. For example: local rental car providers on the madeira sub. Or food retailers on my local city’s sub.

And, more worryingly, there’s an absurd amount of political propaganda. For example the waves of accounts on my native language sub supporting absolutely everything a political party does. Or the blatant manipulation being done on conservative. Or the sudden vanishing of near all kamala-supporting accounts in the morning following american election night. It’s absolutely astounding.

White cocksucka!! Swejin! Swejin!

Is this Valve’s way of gauging the market? Cause it sure feels like it

Ffs, Euronews does know we have snowy winters in europe too, right?

Also no, this does not qualify as an “extreme” winter. This would’ve been a regular winter not 15 years ago. Extreme winter is one where you would be snow in april in Spain or something.

I didn’t really like it when it aired and avoided watching it for many years. Never was a fan if the BSG/Lost show format with constant drama and flashbacks. The episodic style of SG1 and Atlantis, that’s my groove.

But I watched it all the way recently and honestly grew on me. Still not a fan of all the filler drama and style of plot, but it has its good moments. And there’s some decent acting in there. Definitely worth a watch.

Do you have a source for that? I’m curious about what they said

Not all orthodox. There’s two orthodox churches actually. There’s the greek orthodox church that uses the gregorian calendar and marks Christmas same as the catholics and the russian orthodox, who use the julian calendar which has 7 jan. Greek orthodox countries are greece, romania, bulgaria and now ukraine for example.

This article is a goddamn ad.

Here’s my take on this, if anyone needs the info: I already have a nxtpaper and the screen is indeed great. Very pleasant to read on it and it also features a low brightness mode, particularly good for night reading ( awful in sunlight though ). I was tempted to get their new 11 tablet to see the new 4.0 screen, but they took out the jack, update to android 15 and added AI to the bloatware. And it looks like they did the same with this phone.

It’s definitely flawed. But I found it to be original if nothing else and a breath of fresh air in a sea of extraction shooters, rogueliles and soulslikes. Rather reminded me of Death Stranding when it came out.

Damn, they did my boy The Alters dirty. Not a single win.

Also, Arc Raiders most innovative? Isn’t it just an (admittedly improved) extraction shooter?

I mean, the historical and geographical context of the newer entries definitely adds to the satire, but GTA2 wasn’t a bad game at all. I def liked it more 1 and 3 at the time. Interesting that the dev team wasn’t fond of it.

Developers remain willing but reluctant

Management: “Maybe we’re not pushing hard enough”

I do too, but imagine the drop in donations/subscriptions if they were to pull a stunt like the one with steam/mastercard and porn games. Or if they were to not want to remove a game that features, say, the gaza genocide but on israel’s side, or some other extremely divisive issue.

I’m having mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it could be better for gog to break away from a stock listed company that has proved on occasion it still behaves like a stock listed company and likely still do in the future. Also it seems like they’re keeping their values.

On the other, gog has been fairly volatile and hasn’t always returned a profit. Without a big company behind, it may be just a few years of unprofitability away from from going under. More worryingly though, it doesn’t have the same staying power as steam or its infinite funds, so it might get harder to uphold those “no drm, independence” etc policies. Also, given their buyer profiles and how finicky gamers are in general, any single large controversy would also have immense impact.

Time will tell I guess

Omg, now do Y Que! Maneo. Yung. Espino-
