As if I needed another reason to avoid their games.

Amazing, yes.

Can you elaborate on that? I’m only vaguely familiar with Roblox and not sure what this means exactly.

The amount of “reminder: these are optional, don’t attack people who want to use them” and “do avoid the comments on the page I just linked” really highlight the sort of toxicity the current gaming community experiences.

Feeling so many Mouthwashing vibes from this and dang this looks promising.

Good insights 👍 and also good luck with your novel

They surely could charge more, but what they’re charging feels sane economically. They’re what, 4 team members grand total?

Hollow Knight was hugely popular for any game; latest figures are 15 million copies sold. Well, unlike a AAA studio that has to split costs quite widely and account for profit margin demands and disproportionately high compensation for upper leadership and all that fun stuff, the proceeds for Team Cherry could be divided much more tightly and equitably.

Which is just to say, they’re hopefully doing well as it is and maybe are in positions to be comfortable regardless of how much Silksong makes, at least in the short to mid term, so they could comfortably be chill about pricing.

TBH this is a great game to try on a free weekend. I got so frustrated so fast when I tried it after grabbing it a year or so ago, but there’s a lot that still conceptually appeals to me. I want to give it a go again, but it’s lower on my list because of the first foray.

I swear I can never read an article title referencing Outer Worlds 2 without reading Outer Wilds 2 and first having my heart stop and second wondering about the dramatic shift in game direction.

Yep, for me my first printer was a Prusa MK3S+. At the time it was definitely the sort of experience you just described, and I jumped on the Prusa Enclosure upgrade to enable ABS. But there were some maintenance frustrations nevertheless that prompted me to get a backup printer.

I went with an Ender 3 V2, and my god that gave me the whole “literally doesn’t work out of the box, buy this mandatory set of aftermarket upgrades and enjoy your continuous maintenance trap” experience.

Never again. I sold that and grabbed an X1C which became my main printer with the Prusa as the backup.

I totally appreciate the value of open source; Linux built my career and I’ve lived and breathed it and the OSS community for the better part of two decades. I also totally appreciate and respect folks who take joy in tinkering with and maintaining their hardware. I’m just not that guy anymore and I’ve transitioned into the “wanting things to just work” phase for most things.

To me, if we can have both closed source options and open source options competing and each surviving — to me similar to say MacOS and Linux — then everyone can benefit; there’s a solution for everyone.

A level headed take on Bambu identifying positives and negatives? I must be reading the wrong community.

Should pick up where it left off; nevertheless the UPS and graceful shutdown is always smart for any filesystem.

Twin Peaks vibes

The article also states that the founders had endeavored to distribute more of their share to the other employees, and this was a sticking point in Krafton’s attempt to walk back the original deal:

But the trio declined, claiming the amount was not “anything close to what they deserved, and did not allow them to share the earnout with the full team.””

Given this I don’t think we can fairly prejudge the trio — if they’d received the bonus and then reneged on their promise or made it a negligible amount then it’d be fair to judge them harshly.

Totally fair take, but for me I’m just excited for the prospect of more Wolf Among Us. Telltale had hits and misses but I definitely felt Wolf was among the former and I love to see stories finished like their Walking Dead series

Definitely do get fitted for running shoes, but for me for the knee pain after a long time of trying different things and eventually doing physical therapy I discovered my posture was the problem. I noticed that the knee issues showed up primarily when I would try increasing my speed past a point or when I would get fatigued; I was often slouching forward when I did either. This page seems to discuss the matter pretty well; I was doing something similar to the “poor” photo down the page a bit. https://runningversity.com/running-posture-correct-yours/

Beyond that I still kept some of the habits I picked up while trying to improve things prior to discovering this: glucosamine supplements (rather inconclusive info on whether these really have the ability to help or not but they’re not hurting so…) and icing the knees after running. I also take aleve after running. YMMV

In my org there are SWEs that write metrics-based alerts for their running software and often need to take derivatives for example. That may not need 3 calculus classes, but beyond that there’s also the thought process that goes into it that’s applicable to the job.
