I tend to be pretty pessimistic about these cases. Even if the UK Govt win, Google won’t change anything, or if they do the change will be subtle enough to not have any impact

I enjoyed Frasier, but not because of Frasier himself. I really enjoyed seeing the interaction between him and his brother Niles, along with Roz, Daphne etc.
So if this is just a show about Frasier, then I’m out.
Each to their own, sometimes a cosy game scratches just the right itch
Loving it. I was a longtime user of Reddit Sync, so I’m fully on board the Sync for Lemmy train.
The only thing I’ve noticed is that after a period of non use perhaps an hour or so, when I launch, it crashes back to my home screen. The only way I can get the app to open is by Clearing all Data then restarting.
Window open, door closed; window closed, door open. I do what I can to prevent unnecessary door slamming in the night caused by a draft from the window
Welsh here. Not everyone speaks it, but that’s because the English (even as late at the 1950’s) used the school system to literally beat it out of us (look up the Welsh Not). Even with that concerted effort to force the language out, it’s growing again after a few generations have passed. Being from the south, I know relatively few people who speak it fluently, but I know exactly 0 people who would actually want it abolished.
The major information that you can take away from this whole case, is just how much Call of Duty means to Sony, and gaming in general. Some stats came out that there were a good number of people who only play Call of Duty. I mean they own a PS5 and the only game they own and play is Call of Duty. For Sony, it’s a potential loss of a significant portion of their customer base.
It’s a different ‘feel’ - a souls world is supposed to be lifeless so it’s designed purposefully to be that way; desolate and lonely.
Open world games that compare their world to say Elden Ring for example are missing the point; their worlds aren’t ‘supposed’ to be lifeless so the entire game structure doesn’t support that loneliness, whereas Elden Ring is and does.
I am so excited for this release. I’ve been playing the first one on and off since launch and it’s brilliant. I’m really looking forward to the things they’ve changed in this one - the new traffic simulation looks great. Who knew I’d be excited about traffic!
It’s a great little game, it’s casual, charming and fun. If you enjoy it, they’ve also released My Time at Sandrock which is almost identical (gameplay wise) but with a brand new town, people etc.
Yeah, a few YouTubers have scanned through the files and the various bits of text and audio from the game to try and guess what the story line will be, and if any of their predictions are correct, then it’ll be super interesting
Update 8 is on Experimental now, and they’ve added Lumen for Unreal Engine 5, it makes everything look so much more beautiful
I’m obsessed with Satisfactory at the moment. Just every minute of every day building these beautiful factories
Insomniac, the dev team behind the wildly successful Spider-Man games just had a leak. In the leak, it’s discovered that they were strong-armed by Sony (who owns Insomniac) to downsize staff despite exceeding sales targets and hitting goals. They needed to downsize to help balance Sony’s books, who have acquired a slew of failing or underperforming studios.
Sony owns Studio A, and Studio B. Studio B have underperformed for the last few years, whilst Studio A has outperformed their targets. Because of the shortcomings in Studio B, Sony are now out of pocket, even accounting for the earnings of Studio A. Studio A are forced to eliminate staff roles to make up for Studio B’s mismanagement. A well oiled and well performing Studio have to butcher their teams to balance their parent entity’s books. It’s so fucking short sighted and stupid.
This isn’t just a Sony/Insomniac issue either, I guarantee this goes on throughout the industry whenever there’s a parent company. It’s just how it will always be in those circumstances.
