More I read, the more predictable Israeli politics seems.

The outcome always seems to be “what’s most beneficial for Netanyahu’s survival.”

And in this case, its preserving the status quo since he needs that for a coalition, I guess?

Well it would be great if more of their models were ‘freeware’ too.

Microsoft just loves to have their cake, eat it… and not share it.

Yeah. Normally I wouldn’t care, but when the colonies/galaxies get big, even a 30% TPS hit or whatever starts to feel very painful.

I would note that Rimworld and Stellaris (for me) run much slower in linux than they do on windows, and they are kind of perforamnce sensitive games.

Makes sense. Thieves filtering for easy marks is probably older than writing.

A lot of people suck in the real world.

Agreed, this just looks like a miss.

Who knows why, but it doesn’t seem like for-profit Game of Thrones.

Has there been any news of a GOTG sequel from embracer? Last I heard, they got the license.

Honestly, it was better than the movies, and it would be a shame to drop.

Just looking at what the 7800X3D eats for somewhat lower clocks, those power figures are insane.

Cyrodil and The Shivering Isles were a blast though. Even playing BG3, with how amazing and stupendously huge it is, I didn’t feel that same sense of open scale wandering about (which is why I find their approach in SF so baffling)

More than just a dispute over data, though, the Wikipedia editors argued that ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt often acts as more of a partisan actor in the Israel-Palestine conversation than a neutral source of information.

Greenblatt has called US anti-Zionist student protesters Iranian “proxies,” compared the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf to a swastika, and praised Elon Musk just days after the Twitter owner endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory as the “actual truth” last November.

Is this the story of the world now? Some old rich guy watches a little too much TV/Twitter and sends a major organization off the rails?

…I guess it always has been.

Wow, this is so… Mass Effect 2/DA. It hasn’t changed a whole lot.

I am not into the gameplay, but I could probably do it if I buff the snot out of the companions with a mod so it doesn’t feel like mopping up mooks alone.

But are they any fun? Charismatic?

I think Baldurs Gate 3 proved that wrong.

Is that really the case with Starfield though?

I didn’t really get into Fallout 76 (immediately bounced off a coop attempt), but I do hear its map is pretty good.

I get why, but I’m still a little surprised they haven’t done it already.

I bought it at $8/share and am not letting go.

+1. Less combat, more talking, and fights should be really impactful in turn.

They have money now though.

It doesn’t hurt.

You mean the closed access?

I think it’s fabulous. They can get feedback from the actual people doing heavy lifting (especially the framework maintainers, I presume) and make drastic changes before a real release, without blowback from jankiness.

I wish more studios were that in touch TBH. Many heavily modded games (Stardew Valley for one) do work closely with framework creators, give them early heads up and such, it’s just kinda taken for granted by the larger community and not trumpted.
