so yeah it’s technically always voice-over-IP even if I use the cell network.

It’s not. GSM calls are definitely still a thing, and while VoLTE is becoming more and more common, it’s not universal.

Maybe?

Afaik wifi calling works the same as VoLTE, which afaik is just VoIP, but handled by your mobile provider, and integrated into your normal mobile plan, so it works with your phone number.

When both ends of a call have the service, the call is entirely VoIP, which is how it achieves the much nicer audio quality for these calls.

If you just completely disable the mobile radios (set your phone not to use any kind of connection from the sim settings, while still enabling the sim) and use wifi exclusively, then it should work as if you just have VoIP service?

Looks like pretty much just a texture resolution increase.

What do they mean by “smooth modern controls”? It looks exactly as charmingly janky as ever :D

Mastering that is part of the charm. The fact that Croc can’t turn on a dime is part of the game and level design.

It doesn’t.

The limit is set by the people hosting your specific instance, as they’re the ones who then have to host that image.

Different instances have different limits.

You can use other image hosts, tho, as long as they give you a direct image link. Just plop it into the url field/use it in a markdown image, instead of uploading to lemmy.

Someone in the playtest has to invite you.

You can ask for someone willing to do that over on !deadlock@sopuli.xyz. That’s how I got in.

There’s a bunch of planned but unreleased heroes still in development that might drop in an update at any time. They are already in the game in a WIP state, so you can find videos of people who have used commands to access that stuff in sandbox or custom matches.

Mirage was only just added, Valve doesn’t announce or elaborate much on what is coming when, they are basically adding stuff as it becomes ready.

Climbing ropes weren’t even in the game a few updates ago.

“Private cloud” as if that isn’t an oxymoron.

Don’t forget that while they managed the PR better, apple “Intelligence” also has access to damn near everything on your devices.

It would be madness!

And !moomin@sopuli.xyz!

Nice, 250 posts and comments a year, on average more than one of either each day when combined! That seems like a normal amount that no sane person would exceed.

He is.

The fun part is that as soon as I do actually get up, he isn’t far behind, and then the meowing by the food bowl begins.

My cat loves to sleep in.

It’s common for people to semi-jokingly complain about their cats waking them for food every day. Mine doesn’t do that.

If it’s the weekend, and I sleep without an alarm, I’ll rouse to my cat having joined me in bed, ready for a couple hours of snoozing as the sun comes up.

He’s usually down to keep chilling in bed for hours and hours past when I usually feed him.

Wait until you find out about the child labour stuff.

There may not be sweatshops in the developed world, but you can bet your ass a lot of roblox “dev studios” are really just one or two adults, exploiting a bunch of kids for free labour via discord.

Oh, and then there’s the fully integrated speculative market for assets and cosmetics, where ten-year-olds gain and lose thousands of real dollars in robux.

The ecosystem around Roblox is a complete shitshow that no sane parent should allow a kid anywhere near.

This pretty much shows, that in all that time: noone cared

Heroic can actually do that too, now.

Not sure what you mean by with or without GOG, but their whole thing is that none of their games have DRM.

AFAIK, you end up with identical installs even if you use Galaxy to download and install your games, and the installs will continue to work even if you uninstall Galaxy. The actual game files are exactly the same.

I think the installers boil down to convenient self-decompressing archives for getting the game files onto your machine.

If you have the game files for a GOG game installed using any method, those can be moved around, copied, and run with no problem.

Build software using contractors.

Use software to make game using contractors.

Finish game, end contracts with contractors.

Company now has literally no-one on payroll who still knows how to do anything with their “in-house” tools.

Fuck everything up for years, and get literally nothing done, because you keep trying to finish things with a revolving door of contractors who all have to learn to use your in-house crap made by other contractors who aren’t around to answer questions or update documentation.

Switch to UE5 because all the contractors already know how to use it, as you won’t consider hiring actual employees again.

Note that a lot of games on steam don’t have any DRM, either. It’s probable that if you have large library, a lot of your installed games will run without steam, if you go and start them from their exe.

So you can likely archive at least some of your steam games by simply keeping them installed, or even squirreling away the install folder somewhere.

It also pays the creators better than ads ever did or ever will.

Sure you could pay them all individually, but that gets tedius real fast when you like hundreds of channels.
