He does have a point, in that quite a few unions have had issues with internal corruption and bad representation; you’re right in that management is never your friend (*very* rare exceptions aside), but he is also right that any potential unionization effort in the game industry needs to be sure to learn from the…

If they really made that much money, maybe they would have been able to afford to not crunch their devs so much for the next game (as well as give them a REALLY nice bonus).

I think the theory holds, but your definition of “people” needs some adjusting.

I hate you on the principle of hating all people, but am ambivalent towards you on a personal level - I do like your art direction though.

Well, the point I was trying to actually make was that, as it stands, shifting the mechanics in this game to reality, two observers in the same inertial frame of reference could locally distort that iFoR without creating a separate iFoR. An iFoR is defined by the homogeneity of time-space across it relative to externa…

My comparison specifically mentioned being restricted only to information (and never actually mentioned distributing it), and you are actually allowed to publish said information.

Yes, but when we all and next to each other, and observe a phenomenon together, it is considered a shared frame of reference - if we each observed time flowing at a significantly different rate at that point, and would be able to affect objects according to our frame of reference so that they would move according to…

That’s... not how straw man arguments works. That’s simply a plain old unsubstantiated argument.

Except there are specific legal protections in place for journalists, covering precisely this sort of thing. It’s entirely legal. Journalists are allowed to publish information leaked to them, what they are not allowed to do is to actively solicit employees for confidential information.

No.

Well, to be fair, most Bethesda games are built up out of little tiny clockwork gears and levers about the size of those you find in expensive manual watches (in relation), and then continuously expanded until you have a giant game world; they have so many interlocking systems it’s almost impossible to foresee all the…

I told them to stick to single-player, but nobody listens to me; maybe if I invested more in Zenimax, but now seems like a bad time to do that (and a great time to buy up AMD); we’ll see how their stock looks post-release, I get the feeling it will become a lot more reasonably priced before long, once they rebound…

I’d prefer one that worked properly - when is that coming out?

Dark Souls 2 in general had an item durability bug tied to FPS, it was just worse on PC since it could run at higher FPS; but even on the PS3, you had to carry a small armory of weapons at all times, since they would break so fast - you’d be lucky if a whip lasted more than 2-3 fights. It was almost like they used…

As mentioned in the article, tieing physics to the frame rate is one thing in single-player, where you have a single frame of reference; tieing physics to the frame rate in multiplayer, where you have multiple (even intersecting) frames of reference is a recipe for chaos - even if the frame-rate is capped, different…

Here, have the one after - it’s still Australia, but no connection to Jimmy the Murderer and his bag of treats:

If your definition of “best designed for local multiplayer” is heavily dependent on“local multiplayer anywhere you take your console”, sure, the Switch wins by default, since every other console is tied to your TV. I’ve never had an interest in crowding around a tiny screen with tinier controllers while on the go, but…

The funny thing is, I really liked the base-building mechanics in Fallout 4 - right up until the moment when I realized none of my hard work building what, in real life, would be an impenetrable fortress, really mattered, because the settlers would spend half their time hanging out outside the walls ready to die, and…

An Apple a day, makes Ryuk very angry, because what do you think you’re doing, eating all HIS apples?

Damn - to think I could have pulled in some friends in the late 90s and together, actually bought Google...
