You never owned your games, what are you talking about

Which wired controllers, without batteries, would you recommend for PC? in c/games@sh.itjust.works

I have had a Power A Fusion for around 5 years now and I love it. Replaced the sticks after a couple years cause the rubber wore out, but no drift issues or anything. Though it depends how hard you are on controllers. I have some friends that basically destroyed theirs in a year or two.

What's with the move to MIT over AGPL for utilities? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] Brosplosion@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I write code for a living. I cannot, by any means, utilize a GPL library to support the needs of our customers and will either have to write my own replacement or dig to find something with less restrictions like MIT.

On many occasions, we will find bugs or usage gaps or slowdowns that can get pushed back to the MIT licensed open source cause we were able to use it in the first place. If your goal is to make sure your library gets used and gets external contributors, I don't see how GPL helps the situation as it limits what developers can even choose your library in the first place. If your goal is spreading the ideology that all software should be free, go keep banging your drum for GPL.

Why So Many Video Games Cost So Much to Make in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] Brosplosion@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

The main issue corporations run into that cause this bloat is a situation like the following: Project A needs 500 people to meet schedule and workload. Project B begins spinning up and will need the same 500 at it's peak. Project A ends and the workload is really only for 200 people on Project B. Do you lay off Project A folks you know you will need in a year? No, that's a waste of all the talent/training/know how that was built. So you bloat and carry them until you actually need them. Still have to pay them though

Lower voltage = higher current for a given power. Guess if you simultaneously reduce power you probably are okay

I feel like a SOCOM revival is desperately wanted by the community, but the cost / earnings ratio isn't good enough. They really mean "Wish we had some IP characters we could make a hero shooter with"
