People are still on EA Origin? They forced ppl to update ages ago. Surprising they even still had the Origin running.

BG2 came out in 2000. It didn’t exactly have a huge sales happening in 2023 either. It was largely considered as a shelved IP. Yet BG3 came out with massive success. My point is that you have no point. DA was (I would say “is” if veilguard wasn’t such a horrible piece of shit) a strong IP with or without inquisitions long tail given from past sales alone. No one ever goes and says their best selling product ever is a weak IP. It’s completely bollocks that you’re framing it as a weakening IP. Clearly BioWare thought it was strong too since they’ve spent huge amount of budget into veilguard. You’re presuming you know more than their huge investment and sales projection team about Inquisition sales.

Besides, how would you even know if Inquisition had a long tail or not? You have no figures, this game was released exclusively on ea platform at first and continued to be for a long time until it was finally released on steam. I know, because I remember begrudgingly buying it on ea origin. Steam’s public data in this is hardly a meaningful pie. My 12m Inquisition data on sales was their Sept 2024 release info. Which I assume BioWare released to imply a long tail and and continued popularity to get more sales into veilguard. But let’s not assume.

Btw, I didn’t say you said it didn’t have a lot of sales either.

DA:I sold 12 million copies. That makes it the top selling game Bioware ever had.

I bought both cyberpunk and BG3 in gog instead of steam. I would guess cyberpunk sells more through gog than BG3 would since it’s their own platform. Would be interesting if gog stats could be seen as well, but since it’s DRM free, tracking stats on some people are outright impossible.

Your source says Trump won the popular vote.

Harris got 74.46m votes and Trump got 76.94m votes in the graph.

And the US Election Atlas claims 77.1m for Trump and 74.7m Harris.

I don’t use porkbun so I can’t guide you in detail. But look for “glue records”. Some will just call this nameservers, ns record, or some other confusing and ambiguous lingo (like GoDaddy…). Glue records are separate from rest of the auth DNS servers. Even though you are essentially doing an A record.

So if you have example.com on porkbun, and auth nameservers for this same domain is going to be elsewhere, you can set glue records. Like…

ns1.example.com ns2.example.com

With specific IPs like 123.123.123.123

This will allow you to essentially do the first step and not end up in a cyclic problem of one requiring the other.

I assume this is what you’re referring to as the problem.

Speech bubble doesn’t have enough pixels to be read

This is one of the highest upvoted post in my feed but with 0 comments. Guess everyone just agrees wholeheartedly.

BG3, yes. Massive success.

Veilguard is a massive flop. It sold a lot compared to other games, sure, but based on the amount of money they spent and time in development, that was a shit investment. They were expecting like 10m sales, doing 1.5 instead according to whistleblowers.

But then, where are you gonna plug your Ethernet cable?

If you bought a alien spider router just to use as an WiFi access point, you bought the wrong thing.

I have that and use Ethernet cable.

I just have cables outside of walls, along the corners. And doors have enough gaps usually at the bottom to let a single Ethernet cable through and still close without any problems. It isn’t very noticeable even without drilling.

NA mostly uses ESRB while most of Europe uses PEGI as their rating board. They’re different organizations so they can have different criterias for rating as well as different inspectors actually doing the rating.

The newest models tend to get hand mostly right as long as hand isn’t in a weird position.

Because they’re already a major shareholder of Ubisoft. And they’re the only one willing to fork over cash for this failing company since they have a lot to lose if they let it continue its course.

Never heard of yunohost, but… definitely not worth managing your own email server. That shit is essentially a full time job. And it’s forever ongoing full time job, with 24/365 on call type job if emails are mission critical. Doesn’t matter how much other hosts are charging, it’s worth using third party email service.

It’s not and such content should be banned from memes. But Lemmy has nearly no moderation on validity of content. Tbh, I like Reddit a lot better in many ways except for the asshole admins. It has problems, but still lot better controlled than here.

I’ve already addressed this same argument to the other commenter in length. But if what you say is true, which it is not, then python is not inefficient since it’s already equivalent to C. Thus OP point of something being inefficient because it was made in python is wrong.

Wtf pepe is considered alt-right because alt-right uses them sometimes??? I hear they also use English! Maybe English needs to get banned!

Nearly every languages’ every core packages are written in C. And almost every higher packages have some amount of C. That doesn’t mean we get to say every program is done in C. And if you keep drilling down, everything is just machine lang. And certainly still disproves the OPs point of inefficient python.

Saying it’s all done in C hardly even true. Just look at xformers library on GitHub. Only 2.7% of the code is C. And the entire library is about optimizing.

Additionally, vast majority of the great leaps in ML efficiency changes hasn’t come from better programmed packages, though they too certainly made big strides. How we calculate itself has changed. That’s what makes the greatest optimizations in anything. It doesn’t matter what language it is, doing a loop 1000000 times to add 1 is going to be worse performance than just doing 1 multiplied by 1000000. How we calculate, what we choose to give up (such as determinism in some implementations if SDP attention changes) and such makes big differences.

Optimizations also has to be done by someone. Whether that be data scientists or otherwise. The ability for higher level languages to enable them to do so like you say also makes a big difference. If all the programmers had to optimize in C only, we’d still be way behind where we are now in performance.

Just swapping languages doesn’t yield better results like OP is implying.

It makes the best example because there’s that much more money to be saved.
