New York has a similar thing about to take effect, as well.

Someone just made this up so that they could get it away from their kid, didn’t they?
I jest, but that would be funny.
For sure! I happened to come across it by accident while watching the first version.
She has a “version 2” as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLFbZlYWaKc
Not just this, it’s AH. Not… terrible, but super hype-y from what I’ve seen.
This is actually an incredibly good point. This applies to writing, visual arts, music, programming…
The bulk of heavy users are on third party apps, most likely.
I’d be a lot more willing to believe it’s down to the engine if we weren’t also dealing with a bunch of other games coming out on consoles at 30FPS.
To some extent, Reddit does get a slice - in the form of user engagement. User engagement is how they generate ad impressions, even if it’s not from the users on the third party apps.
They COULD have simply put ads into the API, or made it a requirement. They didn’t.
Their entire goal is to maximize “value” before their IPO. Control and number inflation. They don’t care about the long term. Spez wants to cash out, and he doesn’t care what it costs the company.
Even worse, their official app uses the same API – and, by estimates, the Reddit app uses more calls than Apollo does.
They wanted more per user than they will ever make. A multiple of that, in fact.
Knowing what I know about the costs of streaming video, I really want to know what the alternative is for a platform that can’t just throw money down the drain. To my mind, there are only two options here - people watch ads (within reason, but 2 hour ads aren’t resonable), or people pay YouTube (a la Premium).
If you want things for free, the only way to make that happen sustainably is ads right now. Donations simply will not work, especially for something with the costs that video incurs - to say nothing about being able to compensate creators for their time and effort.
Because that dip isn’t due to the blackout. Reddit was pretty hard down for about an hour.
Yeah, I’ve tried those out before. It tends to make the game feel weird, if that makes sense? Like, everything is still expecting time to progress.
Really, I want a game like Stardew, but without the hard timeline baked in from the start.
Yep. I love planting things, harvesting them… I want Stardew Valley without the time management stuff.
There are two parts to this. On one side, you have the “please follow the GPL if you’re using GPL code” – which is really just asking someone to honor a contract, more or less.
Then you have people like RMS, who believe that there should not be such a thing as proprietary software. They don’t care if you aren’t using the GPL – no software should be proprietary, period.
Same – I changed jobs since lockdown started, I work for a company now that was 100% remote before all this started. I’ve actually moved halfway across the country and… yeah, other than now I pay state income tax, nothing has changed for me. I have an office, that’s technically a change, I guess.
