It’s 2024, and we still assign significance to streamers and stream viewers. No wonder the world is going to shit as fast as it is…

“Quiet quitting” 😂

Because yeah, you only do the job they pay you for, how dare you!

Yeah but it’s also far from new technology. Germany is mostly electrified rail, and having BE sets to bridge areas is not uncommon (in southern Germany you also get diesel electric combo units).

Live service, as in: you better watch it live or you’ll have missed it! 😅

Yeah like, they could put the opening hours on the door or something. Or lock the doors to indicate that it’s closed! Or shake their heads! Oh wait!

Yeah everything about this is wrong.

They could have had this golden opportunity if this came out the very week OW1 went OW2 and pissed everybody off. Even with the pay-once price and all that.

But now, it’s much much much too late.

(edit)
Also, people underestimate just how much art style makes or breaks these games. Concord has some neat hero designs, cool ability sets and smart ideas, but it looks so utterly generic. The heroes are somewhat okay even though they really need an art style that doesn’t look like a leftover CoD asset, but wow the levels and gameplay and weapons and all all look like asset flips.

Artists, Sony. Hire some. Your AI cannot save you, as should be evident at this point. Stop paying the corporate accountant to design level art.

Just do the Password Game to figure out a good one!

Would ë qualify?

And sure, in theory your hashing browser-side could break if you do that. Depending on how much text the user pastes in. But at that point, it’s no longer your problem but the browser’s. 🦹

Yeah but due to the extra indentation in the second image, the python part doesn’t work.

Betteridge’s law says the answer is ‘no’.

The general rule against youtubers too full of hearing themselves talk says ‘I couldn’t give a rat’s arse, not going to click that link either way’.

I just wish DDG would finally kill their Apple Maps. Over here they’re so incredibly unusable it’s just not funny any more. I’ll take here maps before that POS.

It’s so bad that on desktop, you can’t even go and click on alternative elements on the map without explicitly changing your search terms to them. You see them, but they’re non-interactive. So the incredibly common case “I remember the name of the restaurant next to this place” (or something similar) cannot be done on DDG, on account of getting Apple money to include their maps.

I can also search IMDB from IMDB.

In fact this was one of the key features lauded about DDG in its early days, the “instant result”-boxes.

Google kinda only went hard on them afterwards, probably seeing a good idea over at DDG because for the vast majority of people, they’re looking for answers and results, not specifically objects of type link-to-search-result. They don’t need a list of links, so long as the information they were after is reliably in those generated cards.

See OP wanting an IMDB link, which is directly there as Google correctly assumed that’s a very very very common use case for googling the name of a movie.

But this genuinely feels sensible?

The generated abstract includes the commonly needed links - including the IMDB you want and Rotten Tomatoes that I frequently want - and the very first result after that is Wikipedia for when you need that.

It’s like the best abstraction so you don’t have to wade through results, correctly understanding that if you search by just the title, you probably want information of through-links to common information/review sites.

It’s weird how little identity this has now, visually. The previous design was quite striking, now it looks easily confused for something else.

Maybe this works better with screen readers though since it’s just black text on white background in simple text blocks.

In fact a lot of things do:

• My bank
• All monthly work pay notifications
• All tax notifications

It’s just normal to not include the actual information. But like you say, except sometimes the bank, they don’t include links.

Tentatively excited.

Liked CrossCode despite the rough edges. This looks like it’s the same thing in more polished, so if it’s as good as the trailer implies, I’ll probably get it pretty quickly.

Are we back in time 30 years when resettable systems were a new thing and controversial?

Yeah the account posts shit like this. Had more but a few were removed. Just block them after a report, hope the admins remove their account entirely.
