That's not how it works, unfortunately. Some EULAs even require that mods are legally under the game company's control.
You will not enjoy videogames anymore, if you play big game studio games.
Go indie. Stay indie. Indie 4 Lyfe.
I mean, that's kind of by design, because they chose to make everybody polysexual. Sexuality was a player choice, even choosing for the NPCs, not a factor into the story.
It's nice that they gave everybody choices in whoever they want to ship and how, but I do think it subtracts from the story a bit, because people's sexuality is part of their identity. It doesn't have to be about trauma, or any sort of centerpiece to the story. I think the LGBT+ community, like any other marginalized community, wants this part of their identity to be normal, not a centerpiece. It just is.
But, a character like Astarion just feels like he's going to be bisexual AF, and it seems like that part of his identity was accidental, because of how Larian was crafting the romance system.
Stay aslep!
The article makes several claims and insinuations without backing them up so I find it hard to follow any of the reasoning.
"Article". I'm going to call it what it is: a blog post that should have moderated away. If people here are going to post "tech news", make sure it has actual journalism.
Postel’s law IMHO is a big mistake - it’s what gave us Internet Explorer and arbitrary unpredictable interpretation of HTML, leading to decades of browser incompatibility problems. But the law is not even applicable here. Unlike the Internet, we want the AI to appear to think for itself rather than being predictable.
It's almost like Isaac Asimov wrote a famous book about robotic laws and a bunch of different short stories on how easy it was to circumvent them.
The use of proprietary, closed-source systems is purely for the financial benefit of the companies who make voting machines, never for security.
Not just the financial benefit. Security flaws can become open secrets that only one party abuses.
Also, I can PAUSE the fucking movie!
- Need to handle some outside event. Pause the movie!
- Somebody needs to go to the bathroom. Pause the movie!
- Didn't hear an important piece of dialogue. Rewind the movie!
- Want to go grab a snack. Pause the movie!
It's almost like I set up a home theater for a reason...
You can still get it.
- YouTube takes 30% from fan-funded revenue
- Twitch takes 50%, which was an increase of their 30% cut, and people have called them out on it
- Apple take 30%, but recently reduced that to 15% for apps making under $1M/yearly
- Google Play has the exact same system
- GOG takes a 30% cut
- Epic Games takes a 12% cut, but they are purposely operating at a loss and this comes with a lot of strings attached (exclusive contracts, passing transaction costs to users, etc.). This is not sustainable, and developer should expect an increase as soon as they take over more of Steam's userbase. (If they take it over...)
Overall, calling a 30% cut "ridiculous" is patently false. It is the industry standard.
When I want top-level, triple-AAA journalism, I get my news from a shitty blog site that looks like it was built in the Year 2000.
Odd, GManLives gave it a good review. I feel like a lot of these reviewers are basing their opinion off of the bad sequels before it.
