With this particular concert, no, they’re spending company money (which otherwise could have gone to employees) for themselves.

Would you mind to name five of those hundreds of problems?

When I first learned about Satisfactory, I thought this would just be Factorio with the unnecessary complication of adding 3D. But I got it through a bundle at some point, so I playtested it a bit (not much, just 200 hours) and then decided to put it away until 1.0 is released (as I really want to see the full experience before I’m done with the game). Since then, I tried every single game (I swear!) where you could build kind of a base in 3D freely, and nowhere saw a building experience that came close to Satisfactory. Not all is perfect there, for example I think it really should have terraforming, so not every little rock could block you from building your megafactory, but anyway, I’m counting days for when I can start building in Satisfactory again.

Snutt explains that in the video even. They will enter (closed) beta soon.

And it won’t go into production next year. But workers will still be treated like shit.

If you don’t want to communicate with non-Signal users and are always within range of a public or known Wifi network where ever you are in Afghanistan, then I guess this is fine.

That’s the point of banning by hardware ID.

And that’s actually an argument against buying this monitor, as long as you want to play any games with it. They have reason to ban you just for using this monitor. So in the end you have the choice between one monitor that could get you banned and all the others that don’t. I know which one I wouldn’t choose.

In Germany and Austria, there was a tax on salt for cooking until recently (1993 and 1995, respectively). To avoid that people buy the cheap road salt and use it for cooking, such a bitter component was actually added, usually magnesium chloride (sometimes also capsaicin).
Many German sources still say you shouldn’t eat road salt for that reason, so maybe this is still done (though it is of course possible, that those sources are just outdated).

Come on, almost two thirds of DB Fernverkehr’s trains are punctual (if you accept DB’s definition of punctuality, which allows six minutes of delay to still be counted as punctual).

US is probably the only country that went back on rail transport. Every other country is taking it as far as they possibly can.

I don’t know for other countries, but Germany (that has a decent high-speed rail network, to be fair) had a rail network of almost 55,000 km in the 50s and less than 40,000 today. More than 300 train stations have been closed since the year 2000 alone.

A developer evangelist is not a press person, but a developer that gives talks to other developers. I didn’t find any specific numbers, but Microsoft probably has hundreds of them. And anyway you wouldn’t expect that kind of announcement to be made by anyone who isn’t like C-level, in a presentation made specifically for that fact, accompanied by a big marketing campaign, and so on.

But incorrectly quoted as “Microsoft promised…”. It was one low-tier Microsoft employee who said it once, in a side note of a conference talk that was not about the future of Windows.

It wants a code for level selection. You get the code for level 2 once you finish level 1, and so on. So just start with level 1 (F1).

Doom is just the shareware version, just like most of the others (some already called with that fancy modern name “demo”). Some are freeware, some have been released into public domain after they went out of sale.

If you check it out, don’t forget to have a look atthe somewhat hidden 3D mode. Though well made, the 2D mode is just a Google-Maps-like view, and the 3D mode is entirely different.

Mostly because they have to wait for Half-Life 3 in order not to confuse the customers.

Pro: This looks exactly like the original Dungeon Keeper that I loved. Contra: This looks exactly like a game from the 90s.

Not having 60 fps might be an issue for a shooter or anything that is built on fast reactions, but it doesn’t really sound like an issue in a city builder.
