Problem is (well, not really, but still), she already looked like a real person. Personally know people who look a lot like Ciri, it’s not the most uncommon look in Slavic countries.
It may be just the trailer. In some scenes, she looks like herself from the 3rd game, just aged, but in most, she looks a bit… weird. It’s really hard to tell what’s going on because when you try to compare the models, they do match up.
I have a good guess on how this would actually happen:
PM: We need this
Specialist: makes this (doesn’t check results)
QC: Looks good (but doesn’t actually check)
Some updates later may further break the functionality. And as long as numbers aren’t blatantly wrong (think 0s everywhere, for example) and nobody checks thoroughly enough, the issue will remain.
I have unfortunate experience of being a part of such a story, haha. There are ways to counter it. Mainly, their project documentation either wasn’t up to par or wasn’t used as a reference during creation and tests. Either way, it’s negligence.
Another suggestion for a “mystery type” visual novel:
Everlasting Summer
It has some heavy Soviet vibes as well, it’s so good, very atmospheric.

I believe Ubisoft considers these games as “life service,” despite them effectively being single-player.
Kernel-level anticheats are specifically anti cheat. Although, if you take cheats to kernel level, they become anti-cheat in name only. For all the normal players out there, it is practically malware. No software ever should have permissions to track everything you do, see everything you have, and brick your OS just because.
My tipping point was YouTube serving the same one ad months on end to me.
I was fine with ads a decade ago. I tolerated them increasing the amount five-fold over the years. But that was borderline torture, and getting an adblock was the only working solution.
Yup, facts don’t exactly matter in Russian courts. If the judge is working with prosecution (which they always do), there’s practically no chance of you being acquitted. Your best case scenario is getting a suspended sentence.
That’s why it’s best to get a jury trial whenever possible. Your odds are way higher that way, but it’s only possible to have it in some specific cases.
I agree that the gestures feel great (pretty much the only good part about this mouse imo), but why not just use a track pad instead?
Oh, yeah, that I agree with.
My head was at the “VR gaming” as a whole back when I was writing the comment.
Well, I’ve decided to check the financials of a couple of VR companies since your counterpoint sounded reasonable. The only one working at a loss is Meta. I could argue their business model is in Death Valley right now. After all, they have major capital expenses, which aren’t easily covered unless you have a big userbase.
But that’s their VR sector. Overall, Meta’s profitable and can easily cover all the expenses several times over.
Also, what do you mean by “they have to dedicate several multi-person teams to manage the clients?” Firstly, who’s “they,” secondly, if I understood you right, that sounds prepostrous, unless you’re talking B2B.
Well, Mojang’s Minecraft in VR is dead. But that’s kinda far from VR gaming as a whole, don’t you think?
One symptom does not share the entire story.
Not to mention that there is a better alternative for it anyway.
Here’s mine, that works outside of tech:
It’s a great source for second opinions.
Say you want to make a CV, but you don’t know where to even begin. You could give it a description of what you’ve been doing and ask it to help you figure out what jobs fit the skillset and how to present your skills better.
It’s a good tool for such rough estimations that give you ground to improve upon.
This works well for planning or making up documentation. Saves a lot of time, with minimal impact to quality, because you’re not mindlessly copying or believing the output.
I’m also considering it for assisting me in learning Japanese. Just enough to be able to read in it. We’ll see how it does.
I think what you’re forgetting is scale.
Lemmy is niche. VR is niche. Gaming is mainstream.
You can’t call a niche dead just because there aren’t that many people into it. It’s a niche for a reason.
Linux is booming, even though it’s “dead.” Lemmy has never been this active in its entire existence. Why do investments from large companies matter?
What truly matters is growth. Negative growth is what kills a platform/industry/company/whatever else. VR is growing, Linux is growing, Lemmy is growing. It may not be fast, but they all have active userbases that support their development.
You cannot call a child “failure” just because it never achieved anything in life, can you? They are growing. They can get sick, they can recover. They can also regress due to that illness and die. Only then they’re truly dead.
For how big PS5 is and how small VR is, VR sure has a lot of people playing.
Lemmy has userbase (not even monthly activity) of 0.46mil (acc. to fedidb). Is lemmy dead?
What constitutes for a dead platform to you?
That’s not even accurate.
If VR gaming is dead, then what does it say about Linux with about 5 times less users? Like, a low poly game about monkeys has a daily playerbase of a million people there. Mind you, Mincraft has 1 to 1.5 million. Not bad for a “dead” platform. Also, Valve isn’t even the last one to enter the market.
I think what you’re actually trying to say is that it’s too niche, which it absolutely is.
UPD: as of right now, the access isn’t blocked in any way.
It is still unclear whether or not the block was intentional, Nvidia gave no comments.
Minor correction: key rate is 19%, interest rates are higher than that as a result.
Knowing our “sovereign” projects, no. No, it cannot.
Don’t get me wrong, there is some really cool tech stuff we create, but whenever it gets political, it’s just theft of budget money. Nothing actually gets created.
