How do you get less work from zero work? Does it underflow and rolls back to maximum work?
It was.
My gf was one that initially didn't understand that dynamic and nearly lost our match, she had to be told by a friend (that recommended her use the app in the first place) that she had to send the first message. Dunno how much could be the app's fault, it does state during profile creation that women make the first move, but it probably didn't put any other reminders afterwards.
Other dates I went out with also had similar stories of not paying attention to that message.
And if that's not enough, here's more denuvo on older games that didn't have it either!
That's why you need to convince, not show proof :)
Yeah, been hearing that shit since OnLive. 15 years later and cloud gaming is still niche. Throw that prediction together with "we'll have super AI by 2030". Neither Nvidia's Geforce NOW or Xbox Cloud Gaming have open financial reports, being thrown together under other umbrellas. Google didn't have the foresight to see that cloud gaming wasn't "the next big thing", but at least it was a project that surprised no one when they announced it was being killed.
The only reason to think "we'll all be streaming games" in 3 years is because nobody will be able to buy electronics due to AI shitting the RAM market. The more likely result is more people making do with what they have and less games aiming for 300GB install size and 16GB minimum VRAM
Don't forget the great success of Google Stadia!
As someone who read 4 HP books back in 2001-2 and only saw the first 2 movies, I was deeply annoyed by that goblin. Maybe I didn't see "the good part" of the character?
You just need to convince Satya Nadella that it'll be profitable. Like, billions of dollars in ROI profitable.
According to this, bookings between 1.58 and 1.65 billion US dollars are expected, which corresponds to a decrease of 14 to 18 percent compared to the same period last year
This is something I'll never understand about the stock market. Revenue falls 14-18%, stock falls 70%.
Users under 13 years of age are migrating from the hits of 2025 to newer and permanently available games that generate less money per hour. This is reinforced by the revamped recommendation algorithm: It favors games with high long-term engagement and displays titles that monetize in the short term less frequently.
They're aiming for long term. Lose some revenue now, but ensure it lasts much longer, the "would you rather have 100 now or 1000 in a month?"
Fuck Roblox.
Not to defend them, just that we don’t really know what they intend, what they’re really trying to do.
They want profit. Maximum profit, preferably by the end of this quarter. Failing that, they want monopoly power. The fact that M$ is going all in on AI (it already spent over 150 fucking billion dollars on it as capital expenditure) with nothing to show but "trust me bro" revenue and empty promises should be all you need to know about how far up their own asses the higher ups are.
When they went on a studio acquisition spree, it was with the intent of gaining market share. This was back when cloud gaming was "the next big thing", but that it has mostly disappeared from headlines should make it obvious that it was not "the next big thing". Sure, only Google Stadia was shut down, but you don't hear much about GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna or even Xbox Cloud. "Cloud gaming" was nowhere near as big as they hoped and is unlikely to be, even with the absurd prices of electronics thanks to the AI craze.
We are talking about the M$ which is actively sabotaging their own mainline programs for greater profit extraction. Win11 is a mess of unwanted ads, worse than Win10 ever was. They bundled copilot everywhere - teams, office, even fucking notepad - in order to artificially boost adoption numbers.
All of the decisions that put focus on profit extraction come from higher up. None of them come from Joe Software Engineer, who has to do what the boss says or pack his shit and look for a job elsewhere.
Or, the more likely explanation, the parents are permissive shits who think they should never make little timmy uncomfortable

Some people didn't like being called "unskilled"

Context: Working Designs was a studio that localized several Japanese games for western markets in the 1990s. Besides translation, they would often increase the difficulty of the games they translated

The CD case was all warped due to heat, the CD didn't survive either :/
How long was it there? Some years, i think

Increased productivity from better tooling has never equated to less working time. Increased productivity from better tooling always results in more working time, because now you can "produce more". The only exception is farm stuff for small producers. The big land owners can now use more land thanks to better tools.
