Kojima wanted out of the franchise after Solid 2 and pretty much every subsequent game since.
Konami are asses to work for and Kojima kept pushing the envelope for what they’d let him do for every game he made with them. MGS5 was where they drew the line in terms of scope and budget (MGS4 cost like $40m to make and god knows what MGS5 would have cost by the end of it) and aside from the fact that he didn’t get to finish it, he was probably more relieved than anything to be free of them.
At least Konami makes a decent slot/pokie machine nowadays. They give Aristocrat a run for their money.
Good to see nothing has changed from the days of the original Switch port of the first game. The one with trees that ran at such a low LOD that they just floated. The one that often ran at 180p. The one that they had to contract an outside dev just to remake it competently.
Does he have much experience with computers? Not sure if it’d be easier to set him up with something like ChimeraOS that just runs Steam and the game or a basic desktop environment so he can write stuff and browse the internet.
In the aged care home I work in, we’ve had a few who can work a smart phone but most can barely work their TV. Being into RC planes might work in his favour.
Just Cause 2 was their big hit, so they kept trying to make Just Cause 2 again with every subsequent game, Just Cause or otherwise.
Lightening doesn’t strike twice.
We’ve got DVDFab bots here on Lemmy now?
Welcome to the “90% of web browsers are Chrome, so let’s just optimise for Chrome” issue with the internet. Probably doesn’t help that Edge and about a kajillion different browsers are also just Chrome/Chromium.
Solution? Get the web to stop relying so much on Chrome and Google. It’s just that easy!
The Germans have been making jank fantasy games for years. They’re just only on PC and nobody plays them.
Embracer has really been a mess. Buying everyone up in the hopes the Saudis were definitely going to be on board with funding them probably didn’t help.
Just chucking everyone in a “Thing and friends” team probably isn’t helping matters either. Surely someone from the many dozens of development teams they have could have thought of better names.
I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.
Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It’s a nice idea but really isn’t very good in practice.
Skull and Bones is already a AAAA according to Ubisoft, so we’re already part of the way there.

They’re Ryzen processors with “AI” accelerators, so an LLM can definitely run on hardware on one of those. Other options are available, like lower powered ARM chipsets (RK3588-based boards) with accelerators that might have half the performance but are far cheaper to run, should be enough for a basic LLM.
