Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.
Firmly agree. If I notice a trend on posts being deleted after posting, I just block the user so I don’t see the new posts. Nothing is more annoying then putting a bunch of effort responding to someones question, especially tech related, just for them to nuke the post later on so it was all for nothing.
Thankfully though, it’s few and far between on the communities that I usually look at, so I have not noticed it a whole lot.
I want to say the amazon driver had a sense of humor and this wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. I know I got a chuckle out of it. I only hope the original person didn’t complain XD
One interesting detail is that all three games have a delivery-by date that’s a few days past the release date
Ah so basically worthless to a consumer if they wanted it release day then. So this will help existing games, but it’s not going to help anyone who wanted a game release day.
this is what my grandfather would have to do almost yearly do get an affordable direct tv bill. The year he switched to fubo is the year that they stopped giving him the discount. He refused to pay 150$ a month for the three channels he watched
as is I still find it rediculous he’s paying 80$ a month for them now.
I remember that. They actually had quite a bit of trouble when they first tried to establish as an officially licensed company because of the fact that their initial user base was sailing the seas.
I don’t doubt it with some of the translations I’ve seen. I think it would be better for them to just release the main content and then release subtitles further on down the road, But I assume there’s probably some sort of accessibility law that forbids them from doing that.
It just gets super annoying watching a show and either having poor quality subtitles or subtitles that blatantly spoil parts of the series.
For example, in one piece
When you first meet Blackbeard, from memory, he doesn’t say who he is. He just stands there as an old drunkard. And you’re meant to expect that he’s just some crazy drunk person that’s interacting with the main party. You don’t actually find out who he is for a good 5-10 episodes. However, if you had subtitles on, they clearly label him as Blackbeard during the first encounter, so it ruins that entire revelation.
I use subtitles because I have ADHD, And as part of that, it makes it so I struggle to keep up with audio versus comprehending it and subtitles give me a short delay of being able to catch up and still be able to read the text to understand what happened. when the subtitles are broken, I end up hard focusing on that. or get lost requiring me to rewind. Super annoying.
I should clarify it depends on your definition of fan. When you’re making a derivative work, there’s two versions. There’s fan which is The person is enthusiastic about the content and then there is the intellectual property variation of it, which is someone who is doing it for non-commercial reasons under fair use(or said countries equivalent). However, once you start requiring money for said process, it removes the protections the creator has shielding it and generally changes the definition to that version.
Additionally, I agree a donation jar would be much better, but even then it’s been shown that that doesn’t resolve all liability because fan projects have been taken down for having a donation button even though the project itself is free, heck projects have been taken down for having advertisements on the projects website despite having nothing to do with said project
Sadly, this can be said about actual streaming services as well. There’s some episodes on Crunchyroll on even big name titles like One Piece is very clear that they took the episode and threw it through some sort of subtitle auto generator because it won’t line up with what they’re saying. And I don’t mean like they don’t align or they’re out of sync. That does happen as well. What I mean is like it will say Fred on the show, but it will say the word bread on the screen.
I don’t get it, because a service that is licensing the shows shouldn’t need to use a service like that, because shouldn’t the original source have that information? It makes me wonder if those big streaming services are still pirating the smaller things, like subtitles.
Not really a fan translation service if they’re requiring payment.
ok, I feel password lock would be more secure in this case then since its harder to brute force. For some that might be worth the more of a hassle unlocking
password in this case, would it be the phones password, or a encryption key that uses the phones password for decryption.
if it’s the phones password, I assume if a password unlock was configured instead of a passcode, it would be significantly harder to brute force.

I disagree. the current IVR systems in place that only take a few valid voice prompts are insufficient for more advanced queries. I think transferring it to more of an AI style setup like how the chat bots were, but having it handle transferring to the proper area instead of doing everything is a much needed improvement.
I don’t disagree with the statement that companies haven’t implemented the right tech for their support though
Its a rust x Cohen Exiles baby with a Dune theme.
The actual game is decent tbh, but like it’s not at all what was advertised. It lacks common MMO mechanics to the point where the studio even said they were dropping the MMO theme then they used that same excuse “it’s an MMO” of why they couldn’t use self hosted servers and why it was forced private rented servers(which ended up being more like private homes) instead of allowing self hosting.
The game is also very vastly empty, and combat will not be at it’s best until easily hours into the game and there is a lot of walking and copy pasting of designs. Plus it’s a forced PVP env, they can call it all they want, but required resources are locked to PVP only areas and end game is strictly PVP as well.
I can’t say I blame them tbh I think I would do the same
A price hike, after the new Xbox PC relabel launch?? Absolute shocker I tell you
Rebutting criticism in my opinion is fine… if its not reflecting the OP’s(OP as in the reviewer) opinion but something the OP is doing wrong game wise. Like mentioning the lack of an ability that would be super helpful (such as fast travel) but the person had missed how to actually activate it. That would be a proper response to say “Oh it is in the game you need to do X”
Telling someone that the game isn’t that hard, or just a skill issue, doesn’t help anything. Same with the comments about gametime before refunding. Especially with drawn out games where it can easily take hours to actually realize the game, and by that point you have an 80$ game that you don’t like.
I usually keep my comments on my reviews disabled exclusively because of the trolls. I used to keep them on because I liked hearing everyone’s opinion and debates. I have zero interest in personal attacks instead of discussions of the flaws of the review.
Dune Awakening was absolutely horrible for that almost every popular bad review is a bunch of trolls foaming at the mouth that someone dared leave a negative review of their beloved IP.
I fully support the shift to AI customer service as long as its being used as an assistant tech and not a full replacement. I have zero issue with an AI based IVR style system to find out where you need to go, or for something that is stupid basic. However it still needs humans for anything that is complex.
And yes AI statements should be legally binding.
as others have said, generally a privacy issue type deal. Sometimes regarding data being collected then sold.
I don’t agree with the mentality tbh, if you were concerned about that just don’t post. Nothing is stopping the data collectors from collecting it anyway(I’m sure they already have their own instance set to auto sub and ignore deletion requests), the only people who are effected by it are the users who wanted to see the post, and the people who put effort into responding.
