> I suspect that this is in fact the source of much of the angst. None of this progress is reproducible outside of one or two teams inside OpenAI and Anthropic. It's becoming an incredible concentration of power that I don't know that we've ever quite seen before.

Like it's been since the last century in Chemistry and Physics? And a lot of bleeding edge Engineering?

I would say pack-in title would refer to a bundle that was active for a substantial time, like Wii Sports on the Wii. The Metroid Prime bundle was just active during the release of the game, 3 years after it launched.

Metroid 2 Remake, for all its warts (many), is at least a full-on reimagined remake. Star Fox 64's latest remake, is mostly a carbon-copy of the original, which already had an "HD" remake on the 3DS.

Metroid Prime wasn't a pack-in title. In fact, the bundles that did offer it bundled were short-lived.

> limiting game design

It's what RPG players have been saying all this time about voice-overs.

It is sold as an accomplishment, but it limits the scope and writing of a game.

It is a personal issue for sure. But people from "warmer" cultures often struggle with the "colder" culture, at least in Northern Germany. And that sometimes leads to people from other countries seeking or making friend group with other migrants.

I agree with the feeling, but the market doesn't. Inflation in the last 8 years has been slowly strangling families. And that's without mentioning the fact that owning an apartment or home is basically impossible without inheritance or being upper-class.

So for most middle-class families, the work grind will continue for the rest of their life, until retirement (if it even exists by then), without anything to show for it (owning the place you live in). How are people even going to be able to pay for their rent between retirement (67 years old) and assisted living (+75 years old)?

And the problem is that they might not be YOUR mistakes, but mistakes from someone in the government office... ask me how I know about it...

In Germany, if you are an non-software Engineer, you MUST have an excellent level of the language. I have not seen a single Engineering position that doesn't require C1.

AFAIK, every game that required a Firmware update included it in the PS3_UPDATE directory in the bluray, and it being there was part of the certification process. Maybe Dark Souls was just a rare error?

They aren't long gone. There's a ton of very successful indie or AA games with shoddy development practices: https://www.reddit.com/r/programminghorror/comments/e0bub9/t...

A game isn't a fundamental or structural part of a system. In the end, it is just a game. The goal of a game is to deliver an experience. It doesn't need to be scalable or robust. If the experience isn't marred by bad coding or bugs, then it can still be a great game.

So we need a Walmart MCP then...

Why would you need to sideload anything when scammers can just use Teamviewer or any remote operation software, readily available in the Play Store, that will surely pass whatever "checkmark" process Google uses to validate "safe" apps?

What do you mean by "radar" data? Literal radar? Or am I missing some more specialized term?

Once you hit rock-bottom, it's time to bring out the jackhammer.
