@LifeisaGameMag It's actually been shown by concrete market data that Demos usually lead to less sales. That's why companies have stopped offering Demos.

But, I think consumer sentiment and purchase patterns are changing, especially in an age of post-sale refund protections.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

@ItsKiraWorld @Ryvnhll But you're conflating two different risks. One is an IP risk (launching GoW with a new Lead). The other is a business risk (fixing a game and 'relaunching').

It's like comparing AC: Shadows with No Man's Sky. Two entirely different decisions with different risks.

@_rawrell Ironically, those who were shitting on the "evil chuds" for allegedly hating female characters, are all now hating, on a female character.

@Grummz >the world is appealing and great because its Grimy

Huh. Interesting insight.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

They really announced 1.0 by giving the biggest middle finger to Nintendo - With their own Rayquaza lmfao

Absolute chads

@Oyinlola3d Not just in Blender! It's also the same in zBruzh!

Read up on the medication Ritonavir and polymorphism. Same phenomenon happens with Cocoa Butter. The composition changes due to irregularities in temperature.

Nothing to do with Palm Oil or chemicals.

[celtic Jaime 🍀 @celtic_jaime]

Look at the state of that galaxy chocolate bar just look how floppy & bendy it is 🤮

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

@celtic_jaime This has nothing to do with Palm Oil. This is a phenomenon with micro-crystalisation of Cocoa Butter, which is polymorphic. The melting rearranges the crystalline composition of chocolate and turns it floppy. You can actually reverse the process.

Ritonavir is a famous example.

@Ajaon_of_All @stupicide @sainsburys Probably they're going to offset the carbon by incubating the eggs in some 3rd world, then trading excess the Carbon to Norway, using that to show "how carbon friendly" they have been, all the while they pocket millions in subsidies & tax breaks and funnel money to their friends

[Jason | 🇬🇧 🇿🇦 🇮🇱🇺🇲 @Ajaon_of_All]

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

@elbethium The thing is, they've already killed off Sekhmet and Begste. Which means in the GoW timeline universe, Egyptian and Tibetan Gods had some sort of cataclysm or war during the Norse Timeline. And I've they have those two, then probably other Egyptian/Tibet gods will appear.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

@AngeloPintore I must be blind or something. Because my missus doesn't have pink eye, boogly eyes or suddenly her nose becoming bulbous when she doesn't wear make up.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

What is it with modern face scanning, that they all end up with giant boogly eyes, swollen eye-lids and exaggerated laugh lines?

Or is it simply the FoV that is being used in cinematics that exaggerates and warps features?

It's almost comical.

[THE RED DRAGON @TheRedDragon]

I'd honestly be mad if I were her...

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

@AranTheLichKing @Pirat_Nation No studio is replacing concept artists with ai-generation except for maybe small indies or Ai-bros.

AI is simply not reliable enough for the intricate levels of detailed iteration without hallucinating.

It's good for rapid iteration, proto and high-level conceptualisation.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

@MaxRovensky @EndymionYT They added an afterlife into the universe. Anything is now possible.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

Can't believe this is an official poster. Genuinely had to double take. Looked like AI-Slop at first.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

New poster for Christopher Nolan's ‘THE ODYSSEY’.

In theaters on July 17.

@elonekapisi @Grxit No. It was already outlined in the video. When Ben said he'd take the B&M franchise to court, the manager said he'll just use aggresive litigation tactics until they're forced to drop the case due to insufficient funds.

Having B&M sue Ben entirely avoids this.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

@Dexerto Finally, Ben got exactly what he wanted, for Bricks & Minifigs to sue him.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

@ZeroOmegaX @buckadeath Nobody wants to answer why the Human baby is born neurologically premature compared to every other mammal in existence, including Chimpanzees.

It's allegedly because we walk up straight.

It's exactly the same argument. Novel adaptations have weird consequences.

[Dervy @ItsDervy]

When I say AI in games, this is what I want. Retopology and the true endgame boss, UVs.

It might not be 100% perfect, but damn it'll speed up labour intensive processes.
