Missed a bit of variation in the games. I felt alot of it was 3D with guns and generic video game graphics. Would have been nice to have to have a platformer, or some titles with distinct art styles.
Excited for Lil Gator Game. I’ve heard many good things about it.
Interested in playing The Quarry. Let’s see if this is fun to do as a couch co-op.
It’s a great game, from a great developer. So you shouldn’t regret anything.
Is this a long term source of revenue for Reddit? Or will it loose value at some point, simply because LLMs are all trained sufficiently on user generated content. Is there more to learn at some point?
Also it seems that a lot of content on Resdit is already AI generated, so it would train on data from other LLMs, which I’m sure doesn’t improve quality.
I used to be a big fan of Assassin’s Creed games, both the old style and the two new RPG styles. But not sure if I’m down for a 100 hours game.
I think having Game Pass expanded the style of games I play quite a bit, and I now enjoy short games a lot more.
I agree that a lot of subscriptions are really overpriced, but updates to an app are also a sort-of service. Pixelmator explained it quite well when their app switched to a subscription model, mentioning some fair (I think) pros and cons of the succession model, both from the perspective of users and developers.
I want to play this. But i also still have a lot of game pass games i want to play. Oh, when will my struggles ever end?
A bit surprising that most people pay full price. I really was under the impression that almost everyone did the 3 years gold-to-gamepass conversion and get it really cheap. But maybe the people here (or on Reddit) are not representative of all subscribers.
My 3 year conversion ends in February. Still undecided if I’ll renew at the full monthly price.
Autoscaling isn’t only used the grow the number of servers under load, but also to guarantee availability of a fixed number. If the max is set to 1, the bastion host is protected against hardware failure, zone outages, or just you screwing up. Accidentally killed your bastion host? No problem, within a few minutes autoscaling will have provisioned a new one and you’re good to go again.
Arstechnica runs on WordPress on AWS, and they have a really nice series of articles about it. Sure, you could use just one EC2 instance for everything, but on a high traffic website you would need a bit more.
To save everyone a click:
[Baldur’s Gate 3] will also be out on Xbox before the end of 2023. (…) “It’s 2023. And 2023 is narrowing, so it’s already pretty precise in my book. Between September and November… So, as fast as we can honestly,” Vincke said.
I just finished Inside. A really weird and wonderful game. In terms of gameplay quite similar to Planet of Lana, which I played before. Both are quite short. I you haven’t played Inside before, don’t look anything up, and just start playing. The less you know before hand, the better it will be.
Excited about Neon White and Case of the Golden Idol. Although I still have to begin Chants of Sennaar as well. Seems some of the best (indie) games of the last years are coming to Game Pass, which is of course great.
