I'm really going to miss his videos, but I'm glad he's ending it on a happy note rather than dragging things on when he doesn't want to. Godspeed, Tom.
There was also one string of Tweets in which many seniors from the Overwatch crew blamed Kotick for sabotaging the franchise and ruining Overwatch 2 with terrible decisions from higher up getting in the way of development. I really felt that one since I used to be an OW fan.
Everyone knew something was off when the game director which was extremely passionate (Jeff Kaplan) just straight up left the team after OW2 was announced. Really sucks, but at least we got some context.
People probably said the same thing when Apple dropped PowerPC for x86, there's going to be an awkward transition period but when it becomes a standard you'll feel differently.
I'd rather not have bots posting outside bot communities. It's annoying seeing them here.
The origin of the name is actually told in Lemmy's GitHub page, it's not just the Motorhead singer and Lemmings:
Why's it called Lemmy?
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
So basically the name came from an amalgam of things the lead dev liked.
I always hated complex combo systems in fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter. Fighting games shouldn't be about being able to input 50 super precise key combinations in the span of 1.5 seconds. It should be about positioning, timing, improvisation... Guilty gear strive and super smash bros is proof of this. Every game that gatekeeps new players for not memorizing the built-in combo that takes 60% of your opponent's HP feels like it's still stuck in the 90's arcade game era. Most fighting game series refuse to move forward. There, I've said it.
Dumb take. Lemmy.world devs simply said it's not likely Threads will federate with Lemmy anytime soon anyways, and they'll make a decision when there is actually a decision to be made.
I got excited for a second, the title should clarify they made the API generally available, not general use on the chatgpt website.
But for real though, they had to know that having telemetry be on by default wasn't going to look good for the open source community.
I'm for blocking Threads. I'm not for blocking instances that support Threads. That's ridiculous, you'd just split the community and make the Fediverse irrelevant.
Bit of an overreaction, it's just that kbin is experiencing a lot of server issues and is insanely slow lately. Your request will probably go through later.
Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it'll taste 10x better.
