those that say “wrong username” means that the password is valid
How could it mean that? The only reason you’d ever say “wrong username” is if the account doesn’t exist (otherwise it’s indistinguishable from “wrong password”) and in that case there’s no reason to even look at the password.
The argument also ignores that these platforms don’t charge more than the original brick and mortar distribution systems they replaced, under which the industry developed in the first place.
The thing that has changed is that AAA budgets have ballooned to the point that their sales targets have to be unrealistic. The author suggests that needing 4 to 8 million sales to break even is too many, but a game that currently needs 8M sales would still need well over 5M even if the platform’s cut was 0%. And I don’t have any confidence that the publishers would actually reduce their expectations for units sold even in that case.
Oh wow, they really nailed the visual presentation. If you presented those screenshots as being from a lost Impressions city builder I’d have believed it.
Which is ironic, because while the modern French word was borrowed from English, the English word is from Old French.
That’s not true. I care very deeply about avoiding them.
One example is Civilization VI, where the Linux build is several versions older than the Windows build, and one of the DLCs just silently doesn’t install unless you force Proton.
Congrats.
I gave it a go just now and noticed an issue in the unit one vocab. You can get the prompt “to open” with both 開く and 開ける as options. Only one of these will be considered correct, and it’s a coin toss which one.
Also I got achievements for mastering all (N5-N1) kanji with 80% accuracy when I ended the session.
Another that comes to mind, Colossus is…well, not this exact scenario, but relevant.
The people interacting with patients don’t know which is which, but somebody does.
The whole point is seeing if the drug is better than a placebo, so you definitely need that information when it’s time to analyze data.
What does ‘b***’ mean in the first panel?
It looks like censorship, but I can’t think of any b-words that make sense there.
The only times I’ve ever used Discord are for things that really should have been on a forum, issue tracker, or something like a lemmy community in the first place.
I hope this causes a return to sanity, but I’m not holding my breath.
That logic assumes that there is some universal way if measuring the position of the Earth, but there is no absolute system for measuring position in space. Location, distance, velocity, and even simultaneity depend entirely on the choice of a frame of reference. And the frame in which the earth is stationary is no less valid than any other.
Also the type of time machine has a bearing here. The traditional H.G. Wells vehicle-type doesn’t jump, but moves smoothlythrough all the intervening moments in time, so there’s no reason it wouldn’t stay firmly on the surface. And a time portal that forms a connection to the same apparatus at a different time would have no problem either, since the machine itself doesn’t move except in the ordinary way.
They look suspiciously unbaked to me.
No, no we don’t need more anti-Nazi slop. We need the real gourmet shit; anti-Nazi fine dining.
I think you’re underestimating the heavy lifting being done by “adequately”. Does stupidity adequately explain a corporation doing evil shit that made them a bunch of money? Absolutely not.
I don’t have hard data, but if my experience is at all representative then you’re much more likely to be able to run a 25 year old Windows program on Linux than on Windows.
It’s because they’ve got everything north of Hudson’s Bay broken out separately.
Speaking of things the website shouldn’t even know…
