If only wee Dschörmänz could enjoy it. Got a strange puzzle game instead. Damn Censorship.

True, they are as clueless as some of the HR departments and managers themselves. I found that working in the SAP area means that have you have to navigate a lot of Buzzword Bullshit Bingo, put the right acronyms in your resume and you are instantly hired even if you never worked on a live system, have lots of…

Thanks for the clarification, I never had to go that far - until now I never was unemployed for more than 2 weeks ^^
Yes, the duty to find something yourself was what I was getting at. Although it seems to become more harsh towards long-term unemployed people, or if you turn up at interviews deliberately in such a…

Then you seem to have counted wrong. Because the playstation list contains 447 games in total, over all systems. Some are only playable on the Vita, some only on PS3, some only on PS4 etc..
If I cound the PS3 only games, we have 329 games - over 100 less, still an impressive number though.
But if we now look at how many…

The problem is: The company has to go into liquidation for any government funds to flow. Also, you have to be fired to receive unemployment support. If you leave the company on your own you will actually be banned by German law to receive unemployment help for several months (because you quit a secure job, it doesn’t…

The Boxsters suffer from the same problem as the 996 911: One of the cylinder banks seals will wear away prematurely, and oil and water will mix. This means a complete overhaul of the engine (often the pistons and their housings suffer too), which can cost anywhere upward from 8000€ if done correctly. If you want to…

hmmm, not really true. If you have subscribed to Gold for a longer time, you would have games from the time before they were available on Plus at all, also MS sometimes really surprises you by putting quite new titles into Gold.
Also, all 360 titles are yours to keep even if you cancel the service. Doesn’t seem much,…

What I’m not getting is: What kind of roads do you have over there? I mean yes - most roads here in Germany are kinda littered with repaired patches, but they mostly make sure that the top layer is made out of some kind of porous stuff so that rain can flow away at least partially. (which is also especially important…

Hmmm, I’ve seen the Blu-Ray package go for less over here in Germany. So tell me again why I should pay more for movies that I might not be able to watch if for some reason some company shuts down their streaming service at some point in the future?

So it is basically some kind of precursor to the Archologies of Shadowrun? I hope they don’t experiment on any stuff in there, Renraku didn’t have very good results with that.

Afaik Masamune Shirow himself said that he never imagined the Major as someone of asian origin, her body was supposed to be some kind of non-descript mass production model. If that was model sold worldwide it could feature all kinds of specific features.

Actually, D&W , back then one of the largest companies selling aftermarket products in Germany, had several complete bodykits available for Trabants.
Also, the last production run was sold with VW 4 cylinder 4-stroke engines, giving them some kind of power.
The original top speed of the two-stroke was 100km/h (on a flat…

ah, right - I only thought of assets in terms of objects, textures, landscapes etc...
Hrm, that is a dilemma. They would have to change an awful lot, but would also have the opportunity to create a whole new setup like some custom servers did.
And bring back “Captain Placeholder” :D

I was most disappointed by the crowd though. The moment that Splyce won most of them just got up and left, they didn’t even applaud the victor, though it was a very even match - any team could’ve walked away with the title there.
Seemed like very, VERY bad sportsmanship against the only team who made it a habit to walk…

What assets?
The game assets remain solely on the clients computers, the server only checks movement of characters and keeps track of stuff they did (finished quests etc). There is no asset theft, the server software is an emulation too (they basically look for what the client software sends out as data packets then…

the servers are not using any of those assets though.
The client software on the users computers is, and those come from your original four CDs (or single DVD) of World of Warcraft. As long as they do not provide those they should be good since they do not offer the same service, just a different one. It is kinda…

This. If we Germans were pissed off everytime somebody referred to us as “Krauts” or pictures us wearing Lederhosen there would’ve been a whole lot more wars in the past 70 years.
Otoh the Germans were always very good at shrugging off stuff and going on while just moaning and bitching.

Good decision. Had one now if it wasn’t for the previous owner, he dressed it up in matte black and really nice wheels for his daughter as a birthday present when she turned 18 and got her drivers license. She turned it down, calling it ugly, and bought herself a new Mini.

apparently some other streamer got a tour of the place just Friday, seems like the devs were the last ones to know that they were about to shut down.

sources were the dev diaries (which were open to then public and are preserved in countless reddit posts) and kickstarter posts during the campaign.
