What type of game do you want to see?
  • I think a really cool strategy game idea would be a logistics themed game

    Have you tried Factorio? The demo is free, basically the full game just with an 8 hour time limit. for reference I have over 1k hours in it.

  • My Experience With The ROG Ally Z1E (Windows/Bazzite)
  • I like the idea of Bazzite, but the release cycle is rough for me. I'm running it on my HTPC, a thing i just want to work, and it feels like half the time I sit down to use it, some update broke something with Jellyfin. Rolling back updates is pretty easy, but that's 5 or 10 minutes of futzing isn't great. I'll be switching back to mint sometime soon.

    I think it will improve with time, and HTPC isn't 100% their jam, and Jellyfin is a flat pack.... so my use case isn't ideal.

  • YSK there is a software that blocks remote connection tools used by scammers!
  • Assign a guardian and get notified in real time with an email and text message when a loved one is at risk.

    That actually sounds useful... the associated image kinda made me giggle at how fake it looks but the idea is really good.

  • "My maternity leave was supposed to start next Monday and I got laid off today," former Bungie employee says
  • Only illegal if the maternity leave was the reason, and it can be shown to be the reason. Over 200 people were also laid off at the same time. I have no doubt bungie added them because of the maternity leave, but it's gonna be really hard to show in a court of law.

  • "My maternity leave was supposed to start next Monday and I got laid off today," former Bungie employee says
  • Bungie’s layoffs have been devastating. 220 jobs were eliminated yesterday, while other jobs had been shifted over to PlayStation Studios.

    Sadly it's all but impossible to show their layoff was because of maternity leave and not just because they were 'part of the layoff'...

    Hope there's a paper trail adding them to the list of layoffs because of the maternity leave, but I doubt they'd be stupid enough to put it down on paper.

  • Alec Baldwin today after his involuntary manslaughter case was dismissed
  • JFC, I hope there’s a real investigation and the people responsible get fired and prosecuted.

    Someone, claiming to be a ‘retired cop’, came to the authorities claiming that some jackass mixed real bullets in with the blanks in the hope of causing an issue on set. The ‘retired cop’ brought some of those bullets and offered to testify under oath. The bullets were not added to evidence in the rust investigation, rather they were filed under a different ID so it was never turned over to the defense. I quote ‘retired cop’ because when this came up at trial, no one was even able to verify if they were actually a retired cop at trial. It appears that they either didn’t bother to validate it, or knew he was a retired cop and it was pretty damming that they suppressed the evidence. (there’s a bunch of other things here too, like the prosecutor knowing about these bullets but used a cell phone picture of them to ‘compare’ them to the bullets recovered on set and magically knowing they were totally different and not worth perusing but not filing charges against the ‘retired cop’ for interfering in the investigation)

    The prosecution was either grossly negligent and ‘accidentally’ withheld evidence that could have been exculpatory. Or more likely deliberately suppressed it. Why deliberately? Apparently multiple witnesses the prosecutors interviewed told the defense that the lead procedure said some pretty vile things about Baldwin during the interviews. The lead prosecutor, under oath, was asked if she said these horrible things, and instead of denying it, said she something to the effect of ‘I don’t recall’. If you can’t recall if you called Baldwin a cock sucker during an interview, you shouldn’t be a prosecutor.

    This was an absolutely bonkers prosecution and trial. It’s like if your mechanic overfills your tires to 90 PSI and you have a blow out and kill someone, and being prosecuted because you should have personally validated the tires were safe to drive on.

    If anyone wants to see some vids:

    Lead prosecutor, testifying under oath for some reason, trying to cover her butt... This is not normal: https://youtu.be/WpDDsOBDwy0

    The entire channel has a bunch of great clips from the trail, no commentary, just what happened.

    This was BONKERS.

  • 7 Days to Die is finally leaving early access, but console players will have to buy the 1.0 version again
  • What a shit article. There's a massive amount of context missing.

    7DTD is a game created by The Fun Pimps. Telltale Games bought the rights to produce a console port of the game from TFP. Telltale Games then contracted with Iron Galaxy to produce the port. Telltale Games went bankrupt and it's assets were liquidated, one of those assets was the rights to produce the console port. TFP managed to buy back the rights to the console port, but were unable to get any of the source code for the console port. It took years to get the rights sorted out, and it wasn't cheap.

    It's a messed up situation, but console players bought a Playstation 4/XBox One game from Telltale Games, a company that went bankrupt and is defunct, and that sucks. TFP is now starting from scratch to produce a console port for the current generation of consoles and that costs money.
