Rule of thumb:
I’m half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn’t, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.
Unlikely to ever happen, but Xenogears.
Did not expect to see a Croc game ever again. Now all we’re missing is Gex.
If I understood correctly is demanding payments from WP Engine for offering competing services using wordpress.
I was making a source-available farm game around the same time that stardew valley came out. Worked on it for about 7 years total mostly on my free time from work. Shortly after SV came out I got a ton of hate from its new fans because I was “stealing from ConcernedApe” and stuff like that. I ended up giving up on the project after a while. And now these days pretty much every rpg has farm mechanics on it.

That’s not my experience with steam at all. Only one or two options of the steam store tend to show AAA games over indie games. If you browse by category or using the dynamic recommendation you’ll see plenty of good games.
I’m gonna go on “no stupid question” and ask why my old hard drives aren’t doubling in size.
Superman knows where there’s people and where there isn’t. Authors can argue there wasn’t anyone there.
You can but only if you’re wearing the Zora armor.
Last presidential election here in Brazil there were some some traffic light salesman selling towels with the presidential candidates. And they walked around with a score board showing which one had sold more. And they sold a lot more because people didn’t want to see their beloved candidate on the losing side.
Just never saw the need for it.
It only got to $3M because the fine increased daily. It started at zero and all he needed to do was follow the court’s orders to suspend accounts from users that were breaking the law.
Getting hard to find it now with so many other news about the whole thing, but I found this one that kinda brushes over it: https://agendadopoder.com.br/x-demite-funcionarios-do-brasil-e-nao-paga-fgts-alegando-bloqueio-de-contas-da-starlink/
About the claims that X and Starlink are separate entities and one shouldn’t be affected by the other: it has since been revealed that it was Starlink who paid the salaries of X’s employees.
I use Vivaldi as well but every time I update it I need to change one of it’s internal JS files to remove one UI restriction that annoys me: I use two vertical tab bars, one for showing all the tab groups and another for showing the tabs inside the selected group. For some reason Vivaldi limits the width of the two sidebar (combined) to 330px, which is too small for my tastes.
I mean, if someone creates a game with all the options there and you just use AI as a replacement for a complex UI, it could kinda work. A game like scribblenauts could theorically implement an AI based stage creation option with the current tech already. The problem with that is that the AI wouldn’t be able to guarantee that the stage has a proper challenge level (or even that is possible to complete it), so it would also need to implement an AI that tries to beat the level as well and then keep iterating over the two until a proper stage is found.
In short: doable, for very niche cases and probably taking a very long time to complete a prompt (possibly hours).
If a tool were created that properly converted an UML diagram into a project without any need for code, all the programmers that lost their job to this tool would then be hired by the company that offered it, in order to give maintenance and support to everything the customers want in their programs.
It would be removing programmers from they payroll of some companies but they would still be working for them, just further down in the chain.
The same is true for AI. If AI could completely replace programmers in some area, it would need a lot of programmers itself to keep dealing with all the edge cases that would show up from being used everywhere that a programmer was needed before.
I believed they maybe weren’t listening because those cases that people claim as “proof” of listening can usually be explained in other ways as well. People tend to assume they were listening because its the easier explanation but with the amount of data that Meta has, they can easily lead people into thinking about things by showing specific posts on the Facebook timeline and also predict to some extent what people may end up talking about based on things like how many times you replay a certain video and how long did you keep certain posts in focus on the screen and that sort of stuff that people often don’t realize is also data for them.
Still, I would never put my hand on fire for them and never completely discarded the possibility of them listening.
Two games I was looking forward to, both launching on the same day. One has Denuvo (civ 7), the other has not (KCD2). Guess which one I’m going to be playing.
