Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How'd you argue against a person who says rich people are needed to provide jobs to the poor?English
1·17 hours agoSure, rich people own the companies that employ the poor, but many of those same companies are investing heavily into AI and other automation so they no longer have to.
Yeah, stick it to those Celestians.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today?English
2·10 days agoPhysical hobbies are alive and well, but kinda niche when compared to things like video games or tv/movies. I got into model building a couple years ago, and there are plenty of folks who are into it. I would argue the hobby is bigger than it’s ever been. Same goes for other things like r/c and tabletop gaming.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Close to finishing Super Mario Odyssey and was wondering which games are similarEnglish
1·15 days agoWhile there are different game modes, the gist of the Splatoon games is to cover the arena with as much of your team’s ink as possible. Most of the mechanics involve spreading or interacting with your ink. Since you mentioned emulation, I guess you only have access to the single player campaign, so just follow what the NPCs tell you.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How old did you get your driver's license? Did you learn driving from a driving school or from parents? (or some friend or relative?)
4·17 days agoGot mine at 18 in the USA. I took a driver’s ed course though my high school that included a few after school driving lessons, and my state also requires 20 hrs of driving with a licensed driver.
Sounds like you were shadow banned for something. Your account is still active and you can post, but no one sees them. A lot of people see this is cowardly, but many platforms use it because if you outright ban a bad actor, there’s little stopping them from making a new account and continuing doing whatever it was that got them banned.

Games@lemmy.world•Dragon Age veteran defends studio's attempt to make something different with Anthem: "BioWare's always been changing"English
7·21 days agoProbably more floundering. An EA exec told them at one point that their demo was crap (and based on word from other devs, he was probably right), so they reintroduced flight, which IMO was one of the best aspects of the game. EA didn’t force a new story or concept on Bioware, though. All that was Bioware’s own fault between lack of leadership and staff burnout.
A long read, but this article goes pretty in-depth on what happened during the development of Anthem: https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964

6·22 days agoI wouldn’t be surprised. Desktop revenue has been a pretty small slice for their revenue long before AI was a thing. Their main drivers were server products and O365, and now AI and Azure are also pushing a lot of revenue.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What show do you recommend to watch?English
15·23 days agoNetflix cancelled the show, and after fan backlash, they ended up greenlighting a finale. While the finale was pretty abrupt, it was better than nothing.

Games@lemmy.world•Bethesda announces a new Fallout... reality showEnglish
101·24 days agoThis isn’t for Fallout fans. It’s for people who watch Netflix/Prime and saw the Fallout show. Reality shows are pretty popular on these platforms (Beast Games is #2 on Prime right now) so that’s who they’re going after.

Games@lemmy.world•Dragon Age veteran says scrapped Anthem Next "could have been" up there with No Man's Sky's legendary turnaroundEnglish
11·26 days ago“Anthem actually had the code for local servers running in a dev environment right up until a few months before launch,” Darrah continued. “I don’t know that they still work, but the code is there to be salvaged and recovered. The reason you do this, it pulls away the costs of maintaining this game. So rather than having dedicated servers that are required for the game to run, you let the server run on one of the machines that’s playing the game.” This, he added, could have worked alongside an additional move to add AI party members to the game, allowing people to play it like a single-player game.
Ok, this is even more heartbreaking now. I loved the concept of Anthem and had a fair bit of fun with the game in its current (prior to shutdown) state and was hopeful that the “Next” project would overhaul it into something great. I still don’t blame EA for their decisions in this case; Bioware fucked around for way too long during development and the overhaul project was most likely seen as too little, too late… or too expensive.




Land a career in a STEM field and don’t have any kids. That’s what worked for me, at least.
