Without delving into the question over how good the game is, this sounds like a company that simply has the wrong processes in place. A case of “working hard” instead of “working smart.” As a result, they waste a lot of time and resources on things that ultimately don’t matter. I’m sure the person in question worked really really hard on the game, but it’s mostly pointless and ineffectively effort.
Starfield heavily leans on procedural generation. It would be many times bigger if it didn’t. BG3 has something like 170 hours of recorded dialogue. Cutting down means getting of features.
So no, there is no room for optimization here. These games are just going to be that big, period. People just need to accept that they will have to get giant SSDs in the future.
If the mods really find it that irritating, they might as well ban all Musk-related news.
GitHub is owned by Microsoft and it seems to be getting worse. It is also nearly a monopoly and that’s bad in general.
This is just a FUD post. No one cared about green energy until recently. Everything was powered by fossil fuels until recently. And when people started to care, suddenly it becomes impossible because, wait for it, no one use green energy before! It is a circular argument.
It is a matter of when and not if hydrogen becomes a way of powering many types of transportation. Skeptics have their own agenda to oppose this and it is usually not a good one.
This is just a FUD argument. The route in question can never be electrified because it is a lightly used route. The alternative is just diesel itself.
People who question hydrogen pretty much always have an agenda. Either they are secretly promoting fossil fuels, or believe in environmental fantasy that is detached from reality. Akin to how green parties shut down nuclear power development.
No. This is just a return to the days of the IE-only web. It will be problematic but it won’t be the end of the web.
