The launch price is what killed it. In a genre dominated by AA games, games need to use AA pricetags.

Which is literally just German for Bavarian Motor Works.

Basically me every time I open a website on my work laptop, where I cannot add browser extensions because of IT policies.

I honestly cannot fathom why large companies don’t include at least simple adblockers in their browser configurations. I don’t even need to block youtube ads, the banners on stackoverflow are bass enough). Would probably save fairly significant amounts of bandwidth, too.

Cars being online has some tangible benefits in that they can transmit location data to emergency services, especially if the driver is unresponsive. Might save someone from dying in a ditch in the middle of nowhere.

Arguably, some of the data collected while driving is also very useful for maintenance and development (e.g. if a lot of vehicles start having a similar issue after X miles).

That said, this data should be limited in scope and use (e.g. must not be sold, especially not to insurance companies), as well as anonymized as much as possible. Which is currently not the case, and that definitely needs regulation.

Hey, don’t forget the Matlab people

This page lists all links that OM is supposed to open, including GM.

A knife in close quarters is insanely dangerous. Using guns against an attacker with a knife is not really an escalation.

German also has Trauring (and related words) going back to that root. Although it’s rather archaic and not used nearly as much as Ehe or Heirat. And then there’s Hochzeit for just the ceremony.

I never realized how many words we use for wedding…

Yes, this does nothing for game dev. But I don’t think it was supposed to.

The fact that this is a genAI Model generating a reasonable, context aware image a whopping 20 times a second is nonetheless pretty impressive.

That’s pretty useful of you’re at a concert holding a beer though!

To be fair, the levelling mechanics in some ubisoft games (looking at you, AC origins) are complete garbage that do nothing but arbitrarily restrict your movement.

Still unsure why people would pay to skip them though.

The sound quality is definitely worse than similarly priced regular headphones or earbuds.

But having the ears completely free make them a great option for cycling or running, where keeping track of your surroundings is literally kind of vital.

I just wish K9 would support nested folders in the sidebar instead of flattening them.

For Germany, it’s in Bad Fallingbostel, halfway between Hamburg and Hannover.

Same, but Eurowings.

Still waiting for the response from b their customer support about the ~600€ they owe me (train ticket to another airport, taxi fare and compensation)
