It would be pretty easy to make a fraction class if you really wanted to. But I doubt it would result in much difference in the precision of calculations since the result would still be limited to a float value (edit: I guess I’m probably wrong on that but reducing a fraction would be less trivial I think?)

Rise of the Golden Idol

It’s ff14, and the actual playtime is none of your fucking business.

Wow, reddit has fallen even further than I thought, and I thought it had fallen pretty fucking far.

Web 3 was crypto scams, we’re up to web 6 or 7 by now

The FOMO based businesses are preying on people with poor impulse control…which there are no shortage of in the nerd world.

Yeah I don’t really buy pc games before they fall below a certain price point, anyway. So I don’t really care about these limited exclusive periods.

I wonder how much these deals are paying off for epic. Outside of exclusives and the weekly free games I’ve basically never even thought of buying a game on EGS. Definitely the worst launcher experience. Easily ignorable.

Yeah definitely hasn’t been a single good game release in the last 20 years.

Why is “DAE games suck now??” such a meme among olds? Do you only buy games made by Ubisoft and EA or something?

When I recently upgraded my phone I was surprised how little got brought over automatically and how hard it was to migrate configurations. If it actually copies over all my preferences from old phone to new phone, then great. If it’s just logins then that’s not really useful.

Which does not reflect my experience in the working world at all.

Empirically, Final Fantasy 14. Also my only 1000 hour game since games services started logging playtimes in a more durable way. Only other games I can think that might have touched that time are Diablo II and UT99, but both of those playtimes are lost to the sands of time.

Out of curiosity are any similar products actually good? My company uses Webex and frankly I’d rather use teams.

I think they call them devops now.

Presumably because they are continually picking up new players from younger age groups while retaining many older players, but I don’t really have any interest in those games so I don’t know much about them. I’m not really seeing how this directly relates to my comment, either.

Or uh maybe old games are still good and it makes sense to provide an easy way for newer generations to play them? If a record label remasters a Beatles album do we get mad over that? Music doesn’t have an expiration date so why should games?

Because social networks are only as good as the people who are on them.

If you want to roll your own with keepass that’s fine, but most people will want a more comprehensive solution.

When you’re spending $300M on a game budget you don’t want to take a lot of risks. But I don’t think there’s any lack of creativity coming from the market as a whole. Most dire pronouncements on the state of games are only really true if you ignore indies.

Like honestly, I think GOW and Spider-Man and Horizon are fine, but I’d rather see Sony put out several AA games that take risks than crank out another sequel to those.

If you’re paranoid about this, go buy a yubikey and use that to secure your device/access to your passkeys. Being able to secure your own data instead of relying on the admin who may or may not know what they’re doing to secure the server is an advantage of passkeys.

It’'s really up to the end device (and the user of said device) to decide how much security to put around the local keys. But importantly, it also requires access to the device the passkeys are stored on which is a second factor. And notably many of the implementations of it require biometrics to unlock.

The “one password” thing is also true of password managers, of course. One thing about having one master passphrase is that if you do not have to remember 50 of them, then you can make that passphrase better then you otherwise might, plus it should be unique, which prevents one of the most common attack vectors.
