Devolver Digital trolling with its “first ever AAA game” - All Army Attack
When I first saw Devolver Digital tease a “AAA” game, I knew it would be a stupid troll joke - but the game All Army Attack does sound interesting.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org There was an actual fire: The building was evacuated and I saw a burnt-down trash container. Sounds harmless, but these containers are inside of our building. (Because …) So this was an actual, real danger. Not as bad as some appartment being on fire, of course, but still. When I left my appartment, I could smell it and I just thought: “Yep. This is it.” 😐

@kamme@twtxt.thanatos.be Ah. Oh. Yeah. That sounds annoying.
pkgsrc is still on my todo list, only used pkin so far. When I’m being honest, though, I don’t really want to compile from source anyway. I like binary packages. 😅
@prologic@twtxt.net Understood, and I apologize if it sounded like I was trying to do a price comparison (I really wasn’t). Instead, let me ask this way: as I am still unlearned in the art of small VMs, what does one do with a 64MB container? I’m old enough to remember when apps were really small, but even most “simple” apps are too big for a 64MB machine, right? Or am I missing something?
I guess that’s why I made the comparison with the 512MB droplet at DO - that’s the smallest machine I’ve run in a VPS so far (and even my home servers have 8-32 GB of RAM).
Maybe a better question is: What would you run on a service like what you’re talking about? Or what do you envision people using it for?
Since honesty is kindness, Microsoft is by far the worst company I ever had the displeasure of trying to communicate with. Getting them to fix the most basic of bugs always took years. In some cases it’s been over two and a half decades and it’s still broken.
I never thought it was even possible to make an operating system so broken, I’d have to manually restart my background services and set “network interface metrics” by hand, in advanced TCP/IP settings, while using it.
There are buttons that don’t even do anything when clicked and ones I’ve never seen do anything other than throw an error message.
The AI they rent to pretend to be an AI company, was for years outputting paragraphs, describing the beautiful and artful checkerboard pattern in the background, whenever trying to analyze transparent images. Transparent profile pictures work only on GitHub, the one product where the implementation was done prior to Microsoft acquisition.
Many engineers in their own forums, still manage to make that very AI sound smart, in comparison.
The design is an absolute shitshow, where no two things look like they belong in the same system — the only thing almost consistent, is excessive padding and rounded corners, placed wherever they fit the least.
But hey, 5000 engineers were fired, that will surely improve things!

@zyak@twtxt.z85b.xyz That sounds absolutely lovely to me. Enjoy while it lasts.
