I remember some people wanting to ship software as docker containers. This way there should never be a "my machine" scenario.
Not sure if you could do that for games.

Overall it is an awful platform and it is sadly still the most prominent one in Denmark as we are too small a country to to have many different platforms to use :/ (2/2)

When he took office in 2024 Facebook regressed a lot of their content policies on zero tolerance towards transphobia, homophobia and racism as well as laxed their moderation overall to fit with his "america first policies". They also abolished DEI programs. (1/2)

They don't *really* care about your preferences. Their feed algorithm will do whatever it can to push certain agendas because Facebook is in the pocket of the American Republican Party now.

After having 100% the game I agree with you completely. I love the game to bits, but man does it have some fundamental issues with pacing (in my opinion) which the original hollow knight just did better.

In Silksong the world exists without the player. So you find a million empty rooms but also the world is extremely intent on having you look at *everything* to find the things you need. So masks and upgrades feel extremely sparse. (3/3)

however the real problem for me is that the world is too invested in it's own story. In Hollow Knight the world existed as a function of the game's needs. (2/3)

The entire silksong community was all about this 2x damage stuff for the first three weeks of release. Basically, the vast majority of the vocal minority who protected the game at all costs, were saying "you haven't explored enough" and "git gud" :/

It's even a physical game.

But the smaller file needs to stay in storage because that's long term. Anything in cache is memory, it can be wiped at any point and rebuilt at any point. That's why you'd keep the upscaled version there because the upscaling would be on the fly.

Because the cached version can be dumped at any time meaning that demand decides how often a cached item is needed on the network. You can dump it when demand drops and still keep the low quality version in storage.

I'm thinking this is the start and over time they wish to transition over to an on the fly system. They would rather get to use Google's cloud stuff to save on ever expanding storage. They need enough training data to get there first.

It would just be a PC though? There is still a difference in how consoles and straight up general purpose PCs are made, but it's not much.
But a Steam box would just...be a PC with SteamOS. Why not just sell OEMs on SteamOS instead?

Of course from a user perspective it's misleading, annoying and stupid. I see the business case quite clearly though. (3/3)

Compression is one way at least. It'll bring down the storage requirement for each video uploaded although it'll usually come at the cost of quality. But if you can upscale to regain that quality then who cares? (2/3)

I can see why they do it. This way they can save low quality versions videos on their servers and just cache an upscaled version when they need to on the fly. Save on storage. Because YouTube is forever expanding storage how do you solve that problem? (1/3)

So yes, absolutely include your experiences when you talk about these things. It's okay to be proud of where you worked and what you accomplished. It's okay to let people know you are experienced. Just sort out who defines you by it solely based on those experiences and who doesn't. (4/4)

They believe in the "Appealing to Authority" fallacy whether they are aware of it or not. It's the same people who believe you should only hire seniors nowadays at the cost of cultivating new talent because a senior *should* just be able to work within weeks right? (we know this is false) (3/4)

But then there is the other group of people. The ones who believe your experience defines you entirely as a person, at the cost of the rest of what you are. These people will dismiss students at face value because they don't think students have anything to teach them. (2/4)

Experience matters to people, however to some, it defines people. Instead of saying "I used to work with XYZ" you can sneak it in instead during conversation "Yeah, back when I worked at X I did Y" when appropriate. It's more organic and leads to people asking more follow-up questions usually. (1/4)
