LAN parties was relatively rare, so multiplayer meant having social time with friends, we'd often break for food (and it was usually quite a feast as we all enjoyed good food).
So all those memories of co-op was extra good because we were doing it with friends that we knew very well.

I agree in that the standard SS loop won't really scale well to modern-day co-op, but also have to say that the video didn't *feel* like serious sam.

Quoting: JarmerIn the end it doesn't matter. Smart kids will ALWAYS find a way to get around stuff like that.

In fact, I want my kids to problem solve.

I would love a clone of this parental controls to work with Plasma too.

Although my kids are actually very good at self policing themselves right now, so maybe it's not really needed for me?

Wow, did not expect this.

Is this the start of the Linux picks up mainstream developer mindshare thing?
Or is Unity just trying to have it covered in case that happens?

Like they are dealing with VPN's but with less arguments against it. Just declare it all illegal, and then OFCOM will come up with the most tone-deaf way to do it.

What's more interesting for me here is that the patent lawyers themselves (Meyler Legal PLLC and the lawyer himself Samuel Meyler) got held responsible for filing without due diligence. This I think is the first time a PLLC has consequences for patent trolling, up to now PLLC's have been in the shadows when it comes to patent trolling.

Hopefully this will mean that lawyers will be more resistant to being complicit in patent trolling. That could change the whole landscape.

Also, wow, that verdict document is properly damning.

I can't stop you using LLM as a tool, but I still expect you to know what it is you're doing.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask people to understand what it is they are submitting, because they are asking me to maintain it going forward.

Personally I feel that LLM's as how they are pushed to have superficial value. I honestly feel that if it never happened the whole world would be in a better place and as a society we would be more productive.
Not that the tech is bad, just the politics of the tech.

Quoting: Tethys84Is it just me or are there more and more big co-op games coming out? This trend really sucks for the friendless.

For me it's not so much about being friendless, but I will make time to meet in person, and much less likely to make time to play a game with you.

And I'm just tired to large toxic game communities, alas.
