Watched Season 3 of Squid Games. Nowhere close to as good as season 1, but I thought a lot better than season 2. It was a good conclusion to the show, and a bit surprising and shocking in a couple of places. I also watched the 45 minute discussion the writer and a couple of the main actors...

I've just started the Three Body Problem. I'm hoping that the book makes more sense than the Netflix show.

No, I meant 42, but I'm an idiot and misremembered it as 43.

I was wondering how they were going to implement some of the features on the Mac, or if they were going to be able to do so at all. This sort of makes sense now.

Seems to be one of the most important tools in every game dev's starter kit. As for names, in CP2 I advocate for our character being designated by a number rather than a name. Either some seemingly random number that has everybody guessing at its significance, or else 43.

Indeed. From Alicja's original post: "... taking full advantage of Apple silicon and advanced technologies of Metal, ..." Sounds like they were waiting on it to be able to deliver the technology the game needs to run. (edit: although I don't know the details of Metal 4 vs prior versions...

Toybox has been updated. As far as I know, it should work fine now, although it wouldn't surprise me too much if there are hidden glitches if people alter some of the new quest conditions.

Maybe. But if it's like 2.2, then it will consist of a bunch of small tweaks and additions, and they might be having trouble implementing one or more of those the way they want. If they include something in patch notes, and then end up not adding it in the patch, people will lose their minds.

"Similar in scope to 2.2" is actually pretty informative. I appreciate them including that comment in the announcement.

Did you get to experience the build up to the Coriolis storm today? It was fantastic bit of immersion.

Against my own judgement, I bought the early access to Dune Awakening. I'm really enjoying it. Keep in mind that my expectations were low, so I'm not sure what the perspective is of people who went into it expecting greatness. But for me, compared to other new "massive" multiplayer games that...

Yes, please. There's a pretty good mod for it, but having it in the game for everybody would be much better. The mod uses the autodrive function already built into the game, so it wouldn't be a big effort for the devs.

Would be nice, but I'm not expecting it.

The fact that we're getting another patch (or maybe more than one) is expected, since the game is about to release on two new platforms. But the linked post implies something more than just bug fixes and a bit of refurbishing. Might just be a new car or some new clothes. Might be something...

Some of the iconic weapons are really cool. But for functionality, I still prefer something non-iconic that I can attach mods to. Particularly since the devs killed the non-lethal Kiroshi eyepiece a few updates ago.
