In January 2024, Unity will introduce a new Unity Runtime Fee based on game installs. Prior to this, Unity subscription plans will add cloud-based asset storage, Unity DevOps tools, and AI at runtime at no additional cost.

Um ackshually that's a metro, not a train 🤓
How do you find out?
I assume looking at reddit through an incognito window and seeing none of your posts appearing
No worries! 😁
Baltics -> Balkan. Baltics is Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. They are also preparing for the worst though it's just that Serbia isn't part of it
Checked the build.zig file for ghostty, seems to be for manpage generation. Zig itself doesn't use Haskell though
Yeah isn't this like the thing that California required them to do?
For me it's not the time spent at the checkout that matters, it's the time spent waiting at the checkout. Also over here cashiers don't bag your items for you, so you have to do that anyway
Also also, they have these really handy hand scanners over here so I can already bag my items while I'm walking through the store, and then the only thing I have to do at self-checkout is hand in the scanner and pay for the groceries. That is genuinely a lot faster than normal cash register shenanigans.
I got taught that rule in my freshman year, but then my thesis advisor told me to stop doing that because "only old people write like that"
So I suppose academia is evolving (however you still aren't allowed to use first person speech)
I would put Russel's reaction in "sehr Mäßig" and Toto's reaction under "was hab' mich überkommen 😭"
Spheres of Chaos is an old asteroids based game that really ups the ante on trippyness and cool sounds
I should warn you though that it is very flashy, so epilepsy warning is in order
Honestly all of the mysims games I played were the shit when I was a child. Don't know what I would thing about them today though but
Yeah if you play ssf you sidestep these problems entirely and then the only problem you might have is simply just inventory management (which also only comes up in the lategame)
You can easily get through PoE1's main campaign without paying a dime
Someone also posted a video of them essentially getting through the "midgame" of path of exile in 24 hours without paying as well https://youtu.be/JeIDCxQhZM4
However, during that midgame he shows that he really starts having trouble with the lack of stash tabs for trading. It's doable, but that's kind of where you start hitting your limits
All in all, if you play for the main campaign it's essentially just a free game, and if you play without trading the game is still designed to be somewhat doable. Really the only thing you miss out on is trading
As a nix user, guix looks legit nice but it took me until 2 days ago to actually find community projects made for guix(https://whereis.みんな/) . Sometimes I just wish they used the same store and daemon as nix so that nix packages can work as guix dependencies and vice versa.
(Also major thing stopping me from using guix is I don't get service types at all, let alone how you'd define your own service :( )
Very cool!
Ik heb sinds kort een nieuwe telefoon. Het scherm is, net zoals meest nieuwe telefoons, zo groot mogelijk. De voorkant is bijna 100% touchscreen. Dit betekent dat de speakers en microfoon aan de onderkant van de telefoon zitten, waardoor je dus mensen als beste hoort als je zo in je telefoon praat. (Ook al moet ik zeggen dat ik speakers aan de bovenkant van mn telefoon zie, maar ik heb ze nog niet horen werken :( )
Ninja Tune seems to be doing mixes again!
Holy shit it's finally happening again! I'm personally a big fan of the late Solid Steel podcast, and while I haven't gone through these mixes yet, I'm excited to see how they turn out
Het woord "Noch"
Ok dus ik ben net naar het toilet geweest en er schiet me opeens een brandende vraag naar binnen: Hoe gebruiken jullie het woord "noch"? Ik heb het namelijk in meerdere vormen gezien en vroeg me af of er een correcte versie is.
De versies die ik eerder heb gezien zijn:
Ik ben persoonlijk voorstander van versie 2, aangezien het duidelijk een opsomming van ontkenningen aanduidt, maar ik vraag me af of er mensen zijn die er andere gedachtes over hebben
So, Unity is charging game developers per video game install now...
In January 2024, Unity will introduce a new Unity Runtime Fee based on game installs. Prior to this, Unity subscription plans will add cloud-based asset storage, Unity DevOps tools, and AI at runtime at no additional cost.
So today Unity announced changes in how they are going to monetize their game engine, and it is, rightfully might I add, poorly recieved Here is how much youtuber Dani would have to pay unity if they consider his games to gain over $200k in revenue
Now I don't know how much tracking crackers and re-packers remove from the games getting cracked, but if unity were to count cracked games as a valid install (and they will count every install of a game they are aware of), thn piracy could seriously bankrupt indie devs. Like, not just losing them revenue, but actively losing them money. While piracy is already in an ethical grey area, I think that is just a bit too much. So, I want to raise awareness of this, and with it
Why Static Languages Suffer From Complexity (and type-safe printf implementation without macros)
I think, especially in programming language communities, that there tends to be a preference towards making a static language for their compile time guarantees, and this is a pretty concrete counterargument as to why people find dynamic languages "easier to program in"
