I also don’t know what “Fallout 3 Remastered” entails, but if it means forward-porting the content to Starfield’s engine, that’d be pretty cool, though I do wonder how much effort will be required for mod-porting.

I think all their previous games will eventually get the Oblivion Remaster treatment. So a frankenstein’d UE5 renderer + gamebyro backend.

What might be a valid argument in 5.x might not be an argument for 6.x.

But IMO, Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 have more in common with vista than vista has with XP.

Mir geht es hier um soziale Gerechtigkeit und eine flache Gebühr ist das halt nicht. Entweder müsste man die Gebühr den Umständen der jeweiligen Personen anpassen, oder man macht es halt wie ich vorschlage und ändert die Anreize.

Wenn ÖPNV das bessere Verkehrsmittel für 90% der Reisen wird, muss man hier nicht direkt eine Gebühr drauf legen. Wenn das Auto trotzdem am besten die Anforderungen bei einem Transport (Umzug, Transport von großen Geräten/Möbel etc.) erfüllt dann sollte das nicht nur den Wohlverdienenen vorbehalten sein. Und ein festes Limit würde sowas auch ziemlich strikt einschränken, nicht zu reden vom Verwaltungsaufwand mit solchen Lösungen.

Also du glaubst das bleibt nur bei Computerspielen? Das man Dinge ‘kauft’ und dann etwas später einfach keinen Zugriff mehr darauf bekommt?

Und du findest diese Praxis OK?

Und welchen Effekt hat deine individuelle Aktion an der Gesellschaft?

Konsumenten Boykott funktioniert nur in den seltensten Fällen. Man braucht hier klare Regulierung.

Ja ist er. Und so ist die Situation seit der Privatisierung der Bahn.

Infrastruktur ist Staatssache, weil es hier darum geht jeden bestmöglich anzubinden, auch wenn es wirtschaftlich keinen Sinn macht. ÖPNV soll nicht wirtschaftlich sein, sondern den besten Service für alle bereitstellen.

You are using acts by Bavarian police to say that acts by Berlin privacy officers are sinophobic.

Finde die 12 mal pro Jahr Regelung auch etwas ungut, aber mit Geld freikaufen auch nicht toll, dann wird das wieder ein Statussymbol.

Lieber Autofahren unangenehm machen. Überall verkehrsberuhiger Bereich, Schrittgeschwindigkeit mal auf max. 5 km/h festsetzten (aktuell scheint das ja nicht mal definiert zu sein). Zusätzlich Dezibel limits setzten und vorschreiben das jedes Auto vorne und hinten mit nem halben Meter Abstand Objekte/Personen mit dem halben Meter Höhe sehen können müssen.

TBH, age verification services exist.

If it becomes law, integrating them shouldn’t be more difficult than integrating a OIDC login. So everyone should be able to do it.

Depending on these services, you might not even need to give a name, or, because they are separate entities, don’t give your name to the platform using them.

Other parts of regulation are more difficult. Like these “upload filters” that need to figure out if something shared via a service is violating any copyright before it is made available.

Unless you are also complaining about it when white male characters are also surface-level, 2-D, copy-and-paste characters then all you are saying is “Only white male characters are allowed to be simple or a stereotype/trope.”

What? Where am I saying that?

Yes I would complain about all kind of stereotypes. Even the “white muscular tough guy” could be considered sexual objectification. IMO CoD is sometimes pretty gay coded.

Lets be honest, not every game needs a complex and well written character, and that is fine. If they choose to go that route it doesn’t matter what race, religion, or gender the character is in the first place. So it doesn’t matter if they are a white male, a latina woman, or a black non-binary person.

I wasn’t saying that. You can have games without a single character. Or where the character doesn’t really matter, because it just an empty shell you are driving around and not more.

But IMO I mostly play story driven RPGs, where you are someone, and where you want the environment to react to you. It would be awesome if when you run around with colorful hair or tattoos, it would slightly change the disposition of the NPCs or cause them to comment on your appearance. Don’t let this stuff be just cosmetics, it should be more meaningful, and embedded into the game world.

I don’t think representation is the main issue, it is more about how they are presented.

Striding for a perfect 50/50, doesn’t really sense if they are all just stereotypes and sexual objectified. Also there are many other underrepresented population groups.

IMO, it is more important to focus good well written and complex characters, that represent real circumstances right.

I don’t complain that AAA studios have gone ‘woke’ because they now include choices to select from marginalized groups, I complain about them because they are often do not offer a deeper perspective of people in that group and are just different skins.

In some way, I can understand, games often happen in a Fantasy world, but I would wish that selecting different characters would do more than just exchanging the player mesh, texture and voice pack.

Well I worked for a while at a large international corporation that maintained (and AFAIK is still continuing) a managed Linux system, which worked well enough. And there where a lot more people, especially the people that were the most productive, interested in it.

Sure that might have just been a nice island inside the larger company, but the people there were the internal consultants, which often had to pull other projects out of the gutter.

If you over your specialists ways to use the tools they need, you will improve the whole company.

But it is not a “Linux Subsystem”, it is a “Windows Subsystem”.

If I write a hypothetical Driver for Linux to support windows, it would be a “Linux Module” not a “Windows Module”.

I guess they could have called it “Windows Subsystem for Linux support”

Linux on a corporate desktop is mostly about how well you know the IT guys and do they trust you. And of course the software stack.

I would say it depends more on the commitment of the IT admins to support and manage a fleet of Linux workstations. There are Linux “Active Directory” servers, configuration provisioning tools, ways to centrally and automatically rollout updates, etc. It really depends on if the IT guys invest the same amount of effort to support them or not.

Nun, ich wäre sehr erstaunt wenn das Gericht entscheidet das die Abgabe von Informationen für Serviceverbesserung oder zur Missstandsaufklärung notwendig sind…

Wie funktionieren den Restaurants oder öffentliche Toiletten, wo nicht jeder danach gezwungen wird eine Bewertung abzugeben?

Aber wenn die Bahn schon anfängt einen Crashdumpübermittler als den Kleber, der deren schlecht geschriebene Anwendung abhält abzustürzen zu framen, kann man sich bestimmt hier auf einiges gefasst machen.

Vielleicht mal damit anfangen: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauban_(Freiburg_im_Breisgau)

Bestimmt können dort auch noch Dinge verbessert werden, und es gibt auch noch andere Inspirationsquelle weltweit für autofreie Städte. Barcelona, Oslo, Gent, etc.

I just tried this on LO 25.2.3.2 and could not reproduce your issue.

Wherever Stanley Parable is a game or not, isn’t really important. Someone could make the argument that open ended games, without a clear winning or completion state aren’t games, but instead simulations.

Someone could argue that the winning or completion state of Stanley Parable is seeing all endings.

Other people say that to be a game, you need some kind of adversary or challenge to overcome, but that would depend on the definition of challenge. Is figuring out what to do in order to see a ending you haven’t seen before a challenge? If not, that would exclude many other genres.

So I just do not want to down the road of making useless distinctions, and be liberal in my understanding of words, and just ask if something is not clear.

I just call Stanley Parable a game, because the creators call it a game, you can buy it and games similar to it for game consoles and on Steam under the game category. Wherever you can or cannot find enjoyment in experiencing it, does not depend on wherever it is a game or not.

I would say many games with procedural generated worlds, like Minecraft, No Man’s Sky, etc. Where the main task is deciding where do I go next, where do I settle down, maybe there is some better place over the next hill, next planet, etc.

There are other games, where it is also sometimes not quite clear what to do next. Like games have a lot of progression and rebuilding of stuff that was done before because of it. Like Satisfactory, Factorio, etc.

And on a more literal sense, where you actually redo the game over and over to progress, like The Stanley Parable or Outer Wilds.

Some games have a very labyrinthine level design, where it also isn’t really clear what to do next, like Dark Souls, Subnautica, etc.

Or environment puzzles, where you have to figure out how to progress, like the Myst series, Riven, etc.
