It wouldn't be a redistribution of our current assets like that. I think there would be a whole lot of repurposing of these things.

The beach houses, mansions, mountain views could be vacation places, or used as libraries, or simply dismantled for the materials.

The "slums" on noisy roads could be eliminated entirely and used for something people don't need to be at.

We'd move to a more equal distribution of assets closer to the middle line.

you can also fly by pressing space repeatedly

Autonomous police drones will likely be able to handle the pitchforkers and rioters

I couldn't care less about owning a yacht.

On the other hand even a modest house, basic healthcare and ability to not work like a slave for scraps feels like it's going to be out of reach.

Immich seems way too complex for what I need. Redis, Postgres and Docker just to look at your photos? Eugh

I just use Shotwell: https://shotwell-project.org/

Yes. Should have 1 onsite + 1 offsite backup ideally.

This is exactly the reason why companies aren't just going to vibe-code their own software. It's more expensive to maintain than it is just to pay for it outright

Just doing my part

We had a leap because of the introduction and refinement of agents - the rest has been minor

Why are you assuming letting Fable run wild and find the cause here cost under $200?

I can't tell if this is insulting or not lol

Also popular with this crowd: factorio, oxygen not included

it was ~10k per month if I remember correctly. They used to post monthly updates

Going to have to agree to disagree here. Graphical polish would make it much more enjoyable for me, and I spent enough time with the ascii version back in the day to get used to it.

Good thing is they can and do have both styles.

"On Monday 24th August at 8PM EST, we received at letter from X Corp. asking to cease and desist the service XCancel."

funny that :(

I don't mind the UI so much but my biggest issue is they got rid of the keyboard controls.

I really wish they'd put some actual effort into the graphics of the game. Even some minimal animations would be nice.

On the iteration: I'm not sure that's the case anymore? Sure new content is added but it's largely within existing systems. The game is closing in on 25 years old at this point.

I've no insight into what specifically their bottleneck is. The database doesn't sound like it'd be a factor, though, since the slowdowns are isolated to single nodes handling the area with players and don't effect others.

Debian + KDE is the most effortless setup I've ever used. I also spent years using tiling window managers and I don't see the value

What if we replaced the players with AI, also? That would make testing far easier.

Eve still is great - haven't had time lately but I got really into it last year and had a blast

yeah I'm sure they never considered AI

TiDi is a huge problem in big skirmishes, to the point where people actively avoid large group fights: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Time_dilation

The server isn't fast enough and it ends up slowing the game down to 10% speed as a workaround.

yeah I'm just attempting an interpretation, not fact checking haha

maybe they mean the price inflation

Can a non-technical person get the same result as you? If no then you're still adding value there.

Just what I need, to wake up and read yet another baseless "soon your job will be replaced" prediction.

I know what you're saying but this is the most tedious, soul crushing dev work there is

reading everyone and their dogs post on "x is the new bottleneck" is the new bottleneck

I actually feel like Nintendo's game key cards are a reasonable compromise, or at least a step in the right direction. Trade-able, lend-able, sell-able, fully offline with no need to periodically auth with a server as long as you have the game downloaded already. They also let you transfer games peer to peer so you don't even need to get it from their servers.

The issue with full digital ownership is I don't see how it can be implemented without totally killing the original owner's sales. Imagine if you could resell games on steam and undercut the developers: no-one would buy from them anymore after the initial round of sales, as there's no practical difference.

Their investment can still be used, though. The PS5 is compatible with 100% of their invested dollars. Just don't get a PS6. There was never any guarantee a PS6 would be backwards compatible.
