That looks cool for 3d models but it doesn't look like it supports 2d images as well? If I have to use a different program for 3d and 2d assets then I will def be looking at Manyfold/VanDAM

If they thought they could get away with it once, they will try to get away with it again

Her voice is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!

This is what I use to sync notes between my mobile and pc. Sync only over wifi so I don't have to bother with internet facing security issues, and my data doesn't end up traveling outside my wifi.

We do have sound cards in the form of DACs at least

Is this really any different than pc gaming? Am I not really hanging out with my brother and friends as we coop our way through Baldur's Gate? It's "not real" and we are not face to face. VR Chat feels even more real. Real enough to trigger my social anxiety and prevent me from having any fun or joining in. It's too much like face to face contact. (This is a personal problem but it makes me question this guy's take on how fake that kind of socializing is.)

I really, truly, do not believe the world is in danger of people in general preferring to strap these devices to their face over physically hanging out. The tech is cool but it never really took off. The reason noone is talking about this problem, Hugh, is that it's not really a concern.

Here's a non-chatgpt article on it. https://www.eurogamer.net/gargoyles-remastereds-spruced-up-16-bit-platform-action-gets-october-release-date

I'm 100% for more regulation and more caution but I don't understand using the "robots" terminology unless you are trying to conflate it with AI.. which absolutely does need regulation and caution. There's a lot of harm that they can do. But early on in the article to prove "just how long robots have been killing humans" they describe an accident at a manufacturing facility that uses those robotic arms. And a man was told to enter the machine to adjust something while it was running. You know, they did that back in the cotton mills too. Had children run under the running machinery to collect fallen cotton. And children died in the mills when the machines would come smashing into them.

Did we come to the conclusion that cotton mills are a menace? Yes. Well, not because the machines were out of control right? The people running the mill and telling people to move into the dangerous machinery were the menace. And it's the exact same for the opening argument in this article. Someone was instructed to do something dangerous that they should never have been asked to do, and they died.

So yes, let's be careful about new tech. But let's be more careful about how business owners will abuse the people around the tech. Please.

They haven't even fixed Skyrim yet.

They've had this system in Overwatch for months now and that's still a toxic hellpit. Now I don't think that the majority of gamers are actually awful. If they were games like Baldur's Gate 3, which is unrelentingly gay (despite the "go woke, go broke crowd"), wouldn't get overwhelmingly positive steam reviews. But I do think the execs in charge of Overwatch and COD believe that the toxic people are a bigger group than they are and don't want to lose them as revenue streams.

So.. what happened here? The publishing director at Larian said that they "must launch with feature parity" and that they would be unable to remove the splitscreen for series S. Then Phil Spencer says "No, that's not a thing. You can totally do it." But only after a big delay has already caused some media buzz around one of, if not the, biggest game launches of the year. And now they can remove the splitscreen from series s.

So was it a misunderstanding on Larian's part? Or did they themselves not want to launch without feature parity? I don't see a world where they wanted to delay launching the product so late behind the other platforms.

Or is Phil Spencer being disingenuous by claiming a requirement to the devs, but then walking it back in public spaces?

Damn, that sucks :(
