Blizzard Co-Founder Left Because He Was Tired Of Fighting Bobby Kotick
  • Are you sure about that ? I don't know that much about these kind of dynamics because I am not a soulless capitalist ghoul, but I remember reading that Kotick actually did that kind of stuff mostly by himself and was quite good at it (which did translate into more money being made, which probably kept investors happy and cemented his position)

  • typical german overengineering
  • Including cooling because casings actually absorb quite a lot of the heat generated by the propellant iirc (which is then easily removed from the weapon by ejecting the spent casing)

  • Anon wants to stop the mad painter
  • just spend an hour of development time giving players the choice to disable it and literally everyone wins!

    As a senior games programmer, depending on the engine and a ton of other very game-specific stuff, I'd guesstimate that anywhere between a 5 minutes, 1-man job and a several days long task potentially spanning multiple poles (mostly thinking of LD, 3D artists and tech artists. And obviously programming and UI)

  • Trump Says He's Done Debating: 'THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!'
  • When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.”

    Sounds like he was this close 🤏 to realizing that politics isn't sports nor entertainment there... Although to be fair, his base certainly seems to treat it that way

  • EU consumer groups slam 'manipulative' video game spending tactics.
  • As a professional gamedev : good. Except if they aren't tackling similar issues in online gambling (am at work so I didn't read the article)

    Edit : read the article, they basically only mention displaying the real money equivalent when buying "premium" currency, which is only the tip of the iceberg, but also pretty easy to legislate I guess.

  • Introducing Steam Families
  • But just know that I'm order to set it up, you have to login with your account on their computer at some point to enable the family sharing feature

    I doubt it, because I think that's literally how it used to work

  • Beware this fatal design of automatic litter boxes from ali express or amazon or similar - they can be DEADLY
  • We have one at work (office cats ftw). I don't know the model, but knowing the owner I'm positive they didn't get a cheapo version. In this case it's worth the money because it does a fairly good job at mixing the litter which seems to help quite a lot with the smell (it gets noticeably better a few minutes after it's done its thing), since no one is gonna empty it during the day.

  • I got to fly some birds of prey this weekend !

    This lil guy didn't get to fly but he was very cute

    Gamescope on pop!_os

    Hi, I recently installed pop!_os on my shiny new gaming desktop and I'm loving it so far. But I'm now trying to get some games to work (mostly Helldivers 2 right now, which does work after a fresh install, but then freezes on a blackscreen with all subsequent launches. I'm assuming this is due to that awful kernel level anti cheat somehow)

    Long story short, according to the fine folks over at protonDB, gamescope can help. But I can't find it on the pop shop or with apt-get. If anyone can point me to some trusted PPA I can use, or the dependencies I need to build it from source, that would be very appreciated (or even, just how to find out what dependencies I am missing. I lost my linux-fu after a long period of using Windows exclusively but I'm not a complete noob)

    Additional infos : I used the Nvidia installer, 550 drivers (I have the RTX 3080 Ti), have the Nvidia drm modeset enabled, and I'm using the pop_os Steam package. I also enabled "force full composition pipeline" in Nvidia settings actually I just disabled it because it was causing issues with some other games that were running fine without it
