those that say “wrong username” means that the password is valid
How could it mean that? The only reason you’d ever say “wrong username” is if the account doesn’t exist (otherwise it’s indistinguishable from “wrong password”) and in that case there’s no reason to even look at the password.
The argument also ignores that these platforms don’t charge more than the original brick and mortar distribution systems they replaced, under which the industry developed in the first place.
The thing that has changed is that AAA budgets have ballooned to the point that their sales targets have to be unrealistic. The author suggests that needing 4 to 8 million sales to break even is too many, but a game that currently needs 8M sales would still need well over 5M even if the platform’s cut was 0%. And I don’t have any confidence that the publishers would actually reduce their expectations for units sold even in that case.
Oh wow, they really nailed the visual presentation. If you presented those screenshots as being from a lost Impressions city builder I’d have believed it.
Not only has that always been the case, but that’s the only possibility: DRM, on a fundamental level, is just encryption where Bob and Eve are the same person.
(For the uninitiated, the basic problem statement for cryptography is that Alice wants to send a message to Bob without Eve knowing what it says.)
Gotta use the --headshot flag then.
That’s not true. I care very deeply about avoiding them.
Usually, yes, but where coffee is concerned (labeling on coffee makers, for example) a “cup” is traditionally 3/4 of that.
So it’s ambiguous if they don’t specify further. (Do they? The link isn’t loading for me.)
This feels like an exercise in Goodhart’s Law: Any measure that becomes a target ceases to be a useful measure.
All crystals are bastards.
Are we sure it’s not about a particularly belligerent donkey?
Given the other sorts of things that pass for 1/1 creatures, I’d assume each token either represents a giant squirrel or a swarm of regular-sized ones.
That said, 15/15 does seem a tad low for a world-destroying eldritch horror.
One example is Civilization VI, where the Linux build is several versions older than the Windows build, and one of the DLCs just silently doesn’t install unless you force Proton.
2048 is a suspiciously round number (it’s 211) to the point that I came into the article expecting to read about an error affecting some subset of the records. But no, that’s the exact number of votes cast using the system, out of a larger and less round pool of potential voters.
So apparently it’s a coincidence, but it’s making my brain itch.
This is more “we investigated ourselves and we’re not going to tell you what we found, don’t worry about it.”
Just gulfs being pals.
Huh, it’s been a while since I played WotR, but I seem to recall using her as DPS. Maybe I respecced her or something.
Though my MC was a merged spellbook oracle/angel, so past a certain point the competency of the rest of my party didn’t really matter.
Congrats.
I gave it a go just now and noticed an issue in the unit one vocab. You can get the prompt “to open” with both 開く and 開ける as options. Only one of these will be considered correct, and it’s a coin toss which one.
Also I got achievements for mastering all (N5-N1) kanji with 80% accuracy when I ended the session.
All copses are branchy.
Speaking of things the website shouldn’t even know…
