Can they disable their steam forums if they don't want to moderate them?

I really like that there was a whole thing about building a super-weapon where players had to complete quests or whatever to contribute to its development. Then enough players compete the quest and the weapon was completed, and it turned out to be an orbital bombardment that killed enemies and players indiscriminately.

A lot of players were pissed but it's so aggressively in-character I can't imagine how they didn't see it coming.

Best news I've seen in weeks

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they'd just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are "old generation" chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it's pricey enough that it doesn't look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

He's 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

I hadn't played in years and started a new world a few weeks ago. I just started setting up a raill system when the update hit and now the whole thing is fucked. Gotta tear up a bunch of diagonal sections and re-do them noe that the new track angles lead to different accessible grid points. I literally cannot connect new rails to the old rails on the diagonal section 🙃

Most of those are just based on the same real-world animal.

How DARE you also put a wolf in your game!

Yeah. It's got all kinds of problems but at its core it "basically works" in a way that Salesforce hasn't quite figured out, at least for a developer's workflow.

Salesforce is (unsurprisingly) tailored towards sales teams, not necessarily dev teams. They've been branching out into more of a "full business solution" but the dev stuff isn't really a strong competitor with the bigger names like Atlassian.

Slack (which, admittedly, was acquired by Salesforce) is probably the closest comparison to this.
