Just one more thing to blame when the “deal” ends up being as bad as they want it to be. Ignoring that it would also be their fault if a “mistranslation” led to the deal being bad. They only have to trick idiots into continuing to be strung along…
Ignoring the content of the article for a second. Did they not proofread this at all? There are so many spelling, grammar, and sentence fragment mistakes. I would joke that it was written by AI, but it has too many mistakes for even that to be the case.
Not sure specifically when they were added, but they are there now. Play the game once every 3 years or so, hehe. Last playthrough we did a 6 player group game. Basically played it like it was dnd sessions. That playthrough had the move speed stuff. Comes from a book seller. So if you know when that book seller was added, it would be then probably.
The sprinkles contain MSG!
crowd stares blankly
I think it might happen in 10, 15, 20 years… but not any sooner than that.
There are plenty of both permanent and temporary speed increases, with the permanent ones you are almost as fast as the horse. And with temporary ones you can be faster than it. No need for mods, just base game. And these are things you easily earn part way through the first year.
Recently? Or early on? The slingshot controls got an accuracy rework and also the option to be aim direction instead of pullback direction if the player prefers.
I think most of the control issues for new players unfamiliar with the genre is how precise you need to be to water crops and stuff. Those of us that have been playing farm sims(not farming simulations, totally different beast once you write both words in full like that, lol) for decades already probably don’t even remember a time when it was tough to manually align our tools to the grid. For a lot of people, stardew is their first one, and for a decent subset of them, it’s not just their first farming sim, but their first video game on a controller.
There have also been grid aligning innovations in other farming sims for onboarding new players. Some games have a modifier key you can hold down that basically turn the analog into digital movement while holding it. Your character will move exactly one grid space at a time and keep facing the same direction. That sort of thing can help, but honestly, probably better to just make the game fun enough that people are willing to keep playing while they are bad at it, to eventually get good at it. Not every farm sim can accomplish that.
The Blizzard songs were all also possible to play from the game install directory, too. Almost all of their early PC games had one of those. But yes, since they were a properly mastered audio track on the CD, they would play on regular music players too, which could be a really fun trick to show friends.
Ah… yeah, so they are just 17 variants on “you’re fired!”, so they really couldn’t have picked a more inspiring example… maybe inspiring was a bad choice of word.
Their example of an inspirational quote is “you’re fired!”? There apparently are 16 other quotes to pick from, none more inspiring than that one?
So, he’s expecting people to have 93% less purchasing power?
Just bought one in Canada a week ago, it came in through Vancouver, like pretty much everything else does.
What, why would you be working on your glasses? That’s like trying to do work on a cellphone. The glasses are the lightweight handy tool, the powerhouse is the headset at home. Or the headset at work. And as handy as AR and VR will be, not every job will use them.
A transparent display is necessary for glasses based AR. The parts where stuff is displayed obviously aren’t transparent, but when a pixel is off, the screen is transparent in that spot. There have been transparent displays for decades, and smart glasses for at least 5 years, but AR glasses are relatively new, yes. Smart glasses and AR glasses look relatively similar to regular glasses. AR glasses are a little more obvious when they are being actively used, as other people can see the section that isn’t transparent. But smart glasses don’t have the capability of advanced graphics and are more like a heads up display.
https://youtu.be/gElClXpg4J0?t=2m44s This is a partially pre-staged demo of the ones google is doing, but it does at least show the look of the glasses. And metas second gen ones after orion have slimmed down a bit too. What I have seen of apples looks like they are also going to be pretty slim. But I haven’t seen anything past concept stage yet for them, so hard to say how close they’ll get to what they are aiming for in the concept.
Yeah, open source third party ones come a little later. But they will come.
In the mean-time, Veloren already exists, and seems to be exactly what this is planning to be. An open source voxel mmo world builder rpg.
Also, it’s basically the same thing as Veloren, another current open source mmo voxel world builder rpg. But looks like maybe smaller voxels on average.
Oh yeah, for sure. The rift was great for it’s time, but it is straight up comparitively garbage compared to what is out now. Wireless is now even more stable than the rift was at tracking, and the screens are so high res and they can decode at such speed that a wireless feed is almost as low latency and is much higher fidelity than what the Rift could do. There are still wired headsets that would be more clear nowadays, but with Virtual Desktop, the downsides to streaming wirelessly are pretty minimal.
Definitely get a demo of a Quest 3 if you can, or better. Though keep in mind the 3s isn’t better, despite being newer, it is “s” in the same sense that smart phones tend to use it, it’s a newer generation, but a cheaper lower end headset. A really good value. But it doesn’t have pancake lenses, the most important part of the Quest 3, and clearly most expensive part, lol.
Wireless headsets can just be used anywhere, especially when you are in AR mode or playing something mixed reality. But they are still at their best when using your computer through them. Although, you don’t have to. Their standalone games are basically xbox 360/PS3 level graphics, not amazing, but not really a problem. Most of what graphics have advanced by since then is just less “faking” stuff to look almost exactly right anyway and more rendering it in insanely computationally demanding ways to make it look 10% more right.
With Virtual Desktop, my computer is now in every room of my house, including the ones where I get to lay back in a recliner. And my computer is also at all my friends and family’s houses. And with cell-phone tethering, it can be on a bus, or a hotel room where I don’t want to use their wi-fi. Sometimes the cell connection is bad enough that I have to lower the resolution or framerate, but often times 4k 120hz is still viable on cell. Just has a bit more latency, so some game types are contraindicated. A 4k 120hz stream only needs about 25mbit to be clear enough to be worth using over a lower resolution or framerate. And cell latency can be as low as 5ms nowadays. 4g could only go as low as 200ms, 5g can theoretically go as low as 1ms, but obviously in practice that is almost impossible.
What do AR glasses look like in your imagination?
It’s pretty hard to tell in real life if someone is wearing a stylish frame or AR glasses. They are a bit thicker than normal glasses need to be, but not as thick as glasses that are just thick for no reason other than to look a certain way.
As a guy with long curly locks, all my adult life, I have wrapped and unwrapped them around my fingers, or corkscrew my finger into one of the tighter ringlets. Before I was an adult, my parents generally managed to convince me to have haircuts/styles that were more popular for our location.
I actually don’t play with my beard as much, but probably would if I didn’t have the hair. Once I hit 18 and was done school, that’s the last day my hair was ever cut. Gone full natural since then, 41 now. It naturally terminates around 2 feet, hair and beard.
