6-7 had yet to be discovered.

Agreed completely. I started using NextDNS partially to get ads out of News+.

Change to real Visual Studio for C#. Visual Studio Code is complete garbage in comparison.

I visit Yamagata every year. I love how in Japan each region has their own specialties, it makes it fun to travel within the country. It would be sad if the snow monsters disappear.

I usually visit in the summer. The mountains are incredibly verdant. I love riding my bike there. Just watch out for the heat at that time - bring plenty of Pocari Sweat!

You’re right but it was called Yakuza in the west for many years. I don’t know if they made the right decision or not renaming it but it is interesting to consider if it made an impact in one way or another on sales.

I agree with you. I want to play Alan Wake 2 on PC and since it is only sold on the Epic Store I will buy it there.

If it was on Steam I would have likely bought it on Steam. But it’s not. So in my case at least, this exclusive is effectively driving me to buy on the Epic Store.

I find it sort of funny that many (not all) complaints about the Epic Store are the same things gamers complained about when Steam was released 20 years ago.

Considering how similar Bloodborne is to other From Software games I assumed it was developed 100% at From with Sony as the publisher. But I have no idea what the reality is. Did Japan Studio do development work on the game too? If so, I’d be curious to know how they split up the development work between teams.

I’m not the prior poster but it’s a median benchmark based on real-world surveys of game developers who are willing to share their data.

(Source: I’ve participated in one such survey.)

12 years ago I worked remotely for the first time from a small apartment. For the first 6 months or so I loved it. The flexibility primarily.

But I came to hate the isolation. I crave human interaction in all aspects of life, including work. I never want to work full time remote again.

I don’t understand the distinction. You can sell a game on your own website today without using any of these technologies if you want to avoid walled gardens.

I agree - when trying to watch something next to a sleeping partner even 1 step above muted is too loud. Annoying. I often watch Netflix muted and read subtitles because of this. I guess I need headphones.

But I do really think a volume one half of the current lowest would be useful for me.

Not the original poster but I’m going to seriously consider this. I’m at my wits end with a male cat who habitually meows at 2 am and 5 am point blank in front of my face.

Anyone sign an office lease recently? Any negotiation tips?

I’m looking for new space in SF, moving from a current lease near Union Square to something bigger.

If you care about performance you should not be using a laptop as your primary workstation. Period.
