Sometimes they do, but they usually have a golden parachute that makes it still a win for them.

It's on game pass if you want a (potentially) cheaper way to try it.

I can't help but wonder if that just makes things more boring for the cheetahs. Chasing things is something they probably really want to do.

Not only that, but most people who wanted to get Diablo 4 already got it through Blizzard's store/launcher. Despite their drop in popularity over the last decade or so, they are still very visible, so it's not like going on Steam exposed the game to many people who wouldn't have been aware of it if they pay any attention to gaming news.

I only get mine from browsing Lemmy and formerly Reddit. I haven't been paying any specific attention to Blizzard but I still knew when Diablo 4 was released and that the Overwatch I paid for has been replaced with a f2p Overwatch 2.

I usually read it as R2D2 at first.

His kid is doing really well, too! He's in high school now, his English isn't that great but he's very assertive and confident. Harambe is raising him well. Even that brutal murder of the zoo employee didn't cause so much trauma that Harambe couldn't counsel him through it. They never did catch the killer...

What specifically about this post triggered your hatred?

On the other hand, I saw it on gamepass when looking for interesting looking games to try this weekend and passed it over. So even though I didn't have to pay anything to try it, I didn't. Maybe that's a trend they are seeing on that platform, that interest is low even though it's free access. Though it's also competing with starfield and lies of P on there.

You can have missing objects with real ray tracing. Like the player object itself generally doesn't need to be rendered so it might not even be added to the scene. Unless the player is looking down. If their arms are holding a gun or reloading, it might just be disembodied arms if you could move the camera to see it from another angle.

Or, different game, but in GT7, the ray tracing doesn't include vehicles' self reflections. Which is probably an optimization because every reflection ray trivially intersects with the object it is reflecting from, so it makes sense to skip the reflecting object, but then you miss cases where it should be reflecting another part of itself.

Yeah, it feels kinda like OP is really wondering if what's there now is just as good as what used to be there because it might still be labeled "art". Not all art is equal, and I'd much rather have nice looking art than art that says "this used to look nice but now it's just dicks". But, given that some asshole decided to just paint over it with monocolour, I'd rather have that "fuck you" than to see it left blank.

I hope the 2nd artist has the determination to put it back if the owners try to get rid of it again, but the patience to wait until they stop watching it so they don't get caught. Or make them spend money on a surveillance system and someone to monitor it but still put it back one or two lines at a time. Until the owners have an aneurysm and it eventually ends up in the hands of someone more chill.

Well then I hope the West continues to provide that help and that Ukraine makes improvements in the areas it needs to so it can launch attacks into Russia without that help. Assuming it really does need western help. Given Russia's track record for honesty, it might be more likely that Ukraine is doing this with Russian help.

I suspect that's a body kit and not a real Lambo. It just doesn't look right.

And after looking at some pictures of the real thing, that's definitely not a Lambo, or even that good of a Lambo body kit.
