It generates a condition known as missing limbs
I’ve been enjoying that fact lately, it’s been nice to have actual conversations with people, to actually have my thoughts challenged in healthy ways and to have my mind change and to change the minds of others without the intensity that predominates a lot of other sites. I feel I can talk to people here
I’ll expect unhealthy, if I’m wrong I’m pleasantly surprised. That probably won’t happen though
“Already” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, by the time the game comes out it will have been 9 years since Civ 6. That’s 3 years longer than the gap between 5 and 6 which is the next longest gap in the series. At this point they’re vastly limited in the things they can do without a complete overhaul on base mechanics we’ve been playing with for nearly a decade.
Would you rather they completely overhaul the current game and the original mechanics be lost to time? Of course not, the obvious next step is to make a new game.
Steam is great! But so is competition, and GOG has been one of the best of them. A healthy mindset and a strong focus on their relationship to the customer puts pressure on steam to do more than the bare minimum to stay in the lead. We’re lucky in the fact that they’re both mostly good companies to their consumers.
They each have their own issues, and I do question the effectiveness of GOG’s strategy here, but GOG doing well is also good for you as a steam user!
Fair points for both, we’re on the same page for the first point. GOG should be doing exactly that to mitigate the issue, and hope they have been but haven’t been as successful with that technique. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for it.
For the second, I agree that the majority of the issue are the storage space themselves, the others are tangential concerns. To me, a company that struggles to limit their file size has a poor take on how they implement features, it’s a red flag that there are likely much bigger performance issues with the code. One doesn’t mean the other has to exist of course, but they show up together fairly often.
I’m personally tired of game companies just throwing shit at the wall and not caring about the performance. They (well AA and bigger companies mainly) seem to have completely lost interest in doing anything other than the bare minimum. Does it work on the absolute latest hardware? Must be good to ship.
Are you forgetting the files are also taking up space on the consumers drives?
Edit: additionally, larger save file size typically(but definitely not always) means longer loading times. There are tangible consumer benefits to reducing save file size.
I’d more argue that the game company should be finding ways to reduce their save file size. 1GB seems ludicrous, though I don’t know the system enough to know the technical reasons behind that. This is still a strange business decision for GOG as they don’t have the market share to move the needle, the games affected will just sell less on their store until the game company doesn’t even bother with it.

Based, unless the article is also bad in which case I’ll change my answer to cringe.

Yes, absolutely… But everyone reading this is already on the fediverse lmao
Or the side mouse buttons can go forward and back as well. Used to annoy me until I got used to it though
That’s what I’ve seen in the past, but I’m not certain that’s standard. But there’s another comment on the thread explaining it, so I shot myself in the foot by not watching as it’s explained in the video!
Think I’ll wait until it becomes public, possible that it was supposed to be unlisted for patreon members, and I respect him enough to respect that exclusivity. Great channel if anyone hasn’t seen him!
Not as much as I did at the beginning, but I mainly chalk that up to learning more about its limitations and getting better at detecting its bullshit. I no longer go to it for designing because it doesn’t do it well at the scale i need. Now it’s mainly used to refractor already working code, to remember what a kind of feature is called, and to catch random bugs that usually end up being typos that are hard to see visually. Past that, i only use it for code generation a line at a time with copilot, or sometimes a function at a time if the function is super simple but tedious to type, and even then i only accept the suggestion that i was already thinking of typing.
Basically it’s become fancy autocomplete, but that’s still saved me a tremendous amount of time.
