I hope they drown the entire thing in ads, absolutely stuff it to the gills, because then I might be able to convince my extended family to finally move to something better.
Wow yeah. That must have been a really infuriating gameplay issue, no wonder players were upset with it.
A shame the game was so rushed or I'm sure the dev would have fixed that in code.
Reading your comment I got worried about disk writes, so I'm glad this info is on the website:
Replay data is stored in RAM by default but there is an option to store it on disk instead.
Sensible design decision, because writing video to your SSD 24/7 wouldn't do anything good for the lifespan of the drive.
What was the bug and workaround? :)
Matrix org isn't obligated to run a public instance at all - they could stick to developing the spec, and let other people run instances.
And honestly maybe they should, because then we wouldn't have this huge consolidation problem on matrix.org in the first place.
To me, the unspoken premise of the game is that you're a kid in 1986 with a parent or cool uncle who went on a business trip to Japan and brought you home a Famicom and a copy of the original Zelda - months before the console even launched outside Japan.
The whole game is about replicating that sense of childish fascination and wonder.
The 'Alien Language' game manual is supposed to mimic the feeling of trying to read the Japanese manual that came with the game, muddling through as best you can with the pictures, and a few random English words they included just because English is 'cool' in a gaming context.
It's a very fun mechanic, and my favourite thing about the game.
Congrats on the new service.
I'm a UK user and unlike lemmy.zip, piefed.zip appears to be accessible to me.
I assume this is simply because you haven't got around to geoblocking it yet?
Promoting that the nunber exists as a actual thing people should use is good, yeah. :)
The actual number isn't so important, though. If ever needed to call the non-emergency number I'd search it up, which fortunately I can do given I've got loads of time because it's not an emergency.
For sure.
If they've got a problem with non-emergency callers dialing 911, surely it would be best to try and reduce that problem through other means (such as fining persistent inappropriate use of 911)
I don't want to talk to a robot when I'm on the floor dying.
I heard this in the Worms voice.
God literally used the scale-up tool on a seagull. I guess it was a Friday afternoon in the animal design bureau.
Is it really worth it?
