As someone who has crossed over both and currently working in games, it's actually kind of wild how different a mindset games are. It takes a very specific skillset even in software engineering and there are unique challenges to both sides of the fence. Crossing over is not quite as easily transferable as you'd think

Dunno where op was but in the UK at least it wasn't possible for the longest time to get the Dreamcast to use a flat rate dial up because Sega did a deal with British Telecom. This made multiplayer pricey af... I know this because my dad was not amused at the £230 phone bill I racked up in the first month of PSO 😅

I have just gotten into baldurs gate 3 and holy shit it has consumed my soul.

... Which is kinda fitting considering the themes of the game

For all the invasive problems this feature causes, what the fuck does it actually do? The ability to ask an ai what website you were on last Thursday? Who needs this garbage

I just love pausing my zombie shooting game to make a card deck

I would've absolutely paid more attention in maths if the learning material was this utterly contemptuous of "ordinary mathematicians" haha

also full Project Gutenberg text is here https://calculusmadeeasy.org/, thanks for sharing!

Yeah it's just brutal even for the time and pretty agonising to watch. I don't know how it even got past the concept stages tbh.

Fucking stupid timeline we're trapped in

God right? That and profit and lace are absolutely awful

Probably because it's mostly just a QoL update which also restricts people to one family group - which was always the intention but it closes a loophole where person A could share with person B and B could separately share their library with person C unless all three are in the same family group and geo location. Plus there's now a year penalty to switch family group or refill a slot that has been vacated so you really have to commit to it. In many ways it's more restrictive than before, albeit better for the intended use case.

I'm a little bit sad because I shared my library with my brother and niece in other countries in Europe and that's no longer doable. Ah well
