That's the problem then, they should have hired some cloud experts if they're selling a cloud-first service as a "game".

IMO the only problem with it is calling it "Art". Stock photos are also slop, except man-made. That, or the soulless corporate-style illustrations in PowerPoints are the sort of thing it replaces well.

Not the "I poured my feelings onto a canvas/film" actual art. AI images are in my opinion a tool just as valid as the next - just a tool, not art.

With my current partner, we met "just" for a coffee at 11:30am. We got home at 7pm after said coffee, a walk, some drinks, dinner, and having had an awesome time.

Not to say I don't agree with you - keeping at least the initial intention short and sweet gives an easy way out in case either person isn't enjoying the date.

What? Elections in Japan?

It literally took me months to get through the character creator in MH World. Even that was so dense that I would get bored before finishing.

I think it's probably safe to say that they're not games for ADHD individuals.

I hope AMD keep pushing to do things well, because right now the value proposition of anything with an Intel processor is more ridiculous than when Apple charges $300 for an extra 8GB of RAM. Their $600 processors currently offer performance on par with the entry-level Apple Silicon M4. Which is great news for Apple, but not for anyone who wants to use Linux or "the other Mainstream OS".

Something I find incredibly weird about US company culture is how they talk about overtime like it's a good thing.

"Our employees worked weekends, days and nights to make this happen! We wouldn't have succeeded without people who are willing to give up their personal lives!"

I hope they not only succeed but get shares. Doing weekends or nights for a company you don't (partially) own feels like a con.

If they keep duplicating the ask, soon they'll be asking for a googol from Google. Hehe.

I'm not sure I'm following, it says developers can opt out!

I don't think anything with the word "intel" can be taken seriously in value comparisons...

When I got my last laptop I ended up with a MBP because there were no high end options for Linux laptops with AMD. Now the options are better, but back then, the only realistic alternative to a MacBook Pro would have had a third of the real-world battery life if not less, even if I decided to spend £3k. That didn't seem like an acceptable compromise so there were virtually no laptops in existence that could compete with an M2 MBP.

16 GB of RAM are kinda meh, but I can't think of many $600 devices that can run three 6K monitors simultaneously at 60 Hz, plus then one at a lower res but still 60 Hz.
