Missing some relevant info here:
I guess the argument would be that software fixes need to be implemented for each ROM separately. Which also involves the pain of decompiling. Yes FPGAs are probably a pain, but they potentially offer perfect emulation of every game.
One thing I'm not sure about is how portable FPGA logic is. If I write a NES emulator in verilog for one FPGA, can that code be reused on a later model if, for example, my FPGA goes out of production?
It's a bit repetitive, but it's not too bad.
Eventually valve will probably push a SteamOS update out with plasma 6. But it'll be up to then when to do it.
If its the courtyard I'm thinking of, a well placed fireball can also be the most satisfying spell of the game.
My favourite spell for Shadowheart was always spirit guardians. Partly just because it was funny to watch her dashing around the map, mopping up weaklings.
Yeah it seems super buggy. I had her in my party the whole time, did her quest etc, but she didn't offer any help. Didn't think anything of it until I reloaded the save to see some more endings, and all of a sudden she's like "have some harpers!"
For a moment there I thought the oldest piece of tartan ever discovered was from the 1980s...
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it had been invented that recently as a way to sell tat to Englishmen with the slightest ancestral connection to Scotland.
Well it's 400,000 accidents, so there's probably every kind of circumstance you can imagine in there.
The point is that owning a BMW shouldn't affect the chance of you finding yourself in dangerous circumstances, other than ones you create by your own actions. (Unless everyone in the UK is secretly hoping to ram BMW drivers off the road).
What's happening with The Escapist? I thought things had been going better over there recently
Whilst I agree that that's a nice option to have (more options are usually better!) I've come to love the linux way of distribution via repositories. These days I barely use the cli too: GNOME software and KDE's Discover are great. Perhaps an official nightly flatpak would be best?
Firstly, yes, lol Booty.
But I found the comments around Redfall interesting/concerning. Even if a studio gets promised independence in one of these giant mergers, they only have to fuck up once to get that taken away.
I'm not going to defend Redfall in any way, it actually does sound like a case of mismanagement. But I worry about the stifling of creativity that occurs when every studio is trying to play it safe to avoid becoming the next Bioware
As totally justified as it seems to be in this case, I find the points raised by lawyers about this concerning. Ultimately this is a case of the legislature overruling the judiciary with none of the process that the latter would typically require to make sure it is done properly.
Of course, this is such a gross miscarriage of justice that letting the convictions stand probably did more to undermine faith in the system. But I really wish this could have been sorted out without this breach of separation of powers.
