It's all just a symptom of a capitalist system that is totally and utterly broken and incentivizing the polar opposite for what a company needs to succeed.

Between your damning comment which I think is spot on, and the damning WSJ articles that just keep coming out, I honestly don't have much faith in intel to do any kind of turnaround of ............. anything at all. They'll just keep doing short term shoot-themselves-in-the-foot moves to pacify the broken wall street incentives, and slowly just crumble away. All titans fall, and Intel sure was a titan at some point, but that point has long passed, and now it appears we may be in the late years of an elderly company unable to adapt to current market trends, or even manage to stand up on it's own.

Sure, Intel may still to this day hold a huge chunk of the present market, but I still don't believe that means anything for long term. Markets are shifting at an insanely rapid pace around the world, and intel is like a sloth covered in molasses who's been darted by a tranquilizer.

Quoting: sprocket

Quoting: JarmerEVERYONE SHOULD REPEAT THIS AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE:

CEO Pat Gelsinger made $17 million in 2023 alone. That was a 45% raise from his 2022 salary of $12 million. This asshole took almost a 50% raise (what normal person ever gets anywhere close to that), laughed, turned around, and fired THOUSANDS of people.

If the company you are leading has to cut 15k people because of insane ramblings like "revenue has not grown as expected" then surely he will take a 90% cut next year, right? RIGHT?

I work for Intel.

Believe me, us employees are not going to be quiet about this.

Good!! I hope you survived the 15k, and also hope that you all can get together and make some impactful change.

Quoting: ShmerlIs GOG version coming? Looks like a perfect game for it.

It appears GOG is totally ignoring them? They have submitted multiple times with no response. This and many other threads are full of similar stories about GOG's mismanagement. Really sad. But of course this is the outfit that has a client that officially supports Mac but not Linux. Just total incompetence over there.

They say they'll try to release the 1.0 on gog, but at this point I can't support them so Steam it is for me.

I tried doing a playthrough of Dragons Dogma 2, but unfortunately it kept crashing / hard locking my entire system repeatedly, so it was unplayable. Looking online (protondb) there are lots of other reports of this, so I guess the game just needs lots of patches (or just forget about it entirely).

So I have been focusing on Zoria Age of Shattering and having a blast! I think I may be nearing the end, but it's been a super fun game.

man, by the time this game hits release it's going to be one of the best retro fps' ever made. This is amazing for the genre. Push some other devs to do more with their own releases!

Quoting: CatKillerFWIW, I much prefer default-Unity fuzzy pastels to default-UE sweaty plastic.

COMPLETELY AGREE. While I am not as good as you are at spotting the default unity / default godot look, I can 100% spot a default UE look in an instant and it's such a turn off. There's about a million action adventurey low effort steam games that have this look and I am kind of glad because I know I can safely close the tab on that game and forget about it forever.

I was looking for a new Deck game, and this seemed perfect. Have had it on my wishlist for ..... a looong time? (who knows how long lol) ... and it plays wonderfully! It's not certified yet, but it has full controller support and text scaling, so it works great!
