My time sheet totals 37.5 hours of work per week and I can take take a lunch break of 30 to 60 minutes. The break is unpaid and a minimum break of 30 minutes is required after 5 straight hours of work so the lunch break is mandatory.

Typically this works out to 7.5 hours work with a 30 minutes break totalling 8 hours on site. Smaller breaks are untimed so if we need to stretch our legs or get some fresh air no one is watching the clock. We also have a pretty good culture of not interrupting people's lunch with work issues so that does feel like an actual break.

It was a simpler time.

Now charging real money for boosts and cosmetics for paid AAA single player games has been normalized:

So I guess we need an open art set?

This name already means something :/

I wonder how much of that 20% is due to "Game X Denuvo has been cracked" headlines bringing attention to the fact its using Denuvo?

Map editor sounds interesting.

Unreal Engine was released in 1998, Creation Engine is derived from Gamebryo which was released in 1997.

Science might be a loophole.

Can't people donate their bodies to specific scientific endeavors?

It might just need to be framed as an experiment.

MicroProse, a Company With a Long History in Gaming

This is understating things! I believe, IP rights aside, the current company has nothing to do with the brands glory days.

Well I guess it meets the letter of the law :/

They can choose between either affirmative acknowledgment:

(A) The seller receives at the time of each transaction an affirmative acknowledgment from the purchaser indicating all of the following:

(i) That the purchaser is receiving a license to access the digital good.

(ii) A complete list of restrictions and conditions of the license.

(iii) That access to the digital good may be unilaterally revoked by the seller if they no longer hold a right to the digital good, if applicable.

Or a notice:

(B) The seller provides to the consumer before executing each transaction a clear and conspicuous statement that does both of the following:

(i) States in plain language that “buying” or “purchasing” the digital good is a license.

(ii) Includes a hyperlink, QR code, or similar method to access the terms and conditions that provide full details on the license.

Without a requirement to declare any restrictions (e.g. non-transferability) or revocable nature of the license the notice option is pretty toothless.

Most apps will be built using libraries to provide functionality.

For example a Lemmy client might use a small database to store cached data on the device so it doesn't have to redownload data as you navigate back and forth. Rather than writing their own code to create and maintain the database that functionality is available as a library they can import into their app and use immediately.

There might be dozens or even hundreds of libraries in any given app, this is great in that the app developer can focus on their app specific features and not worry so much about the low level features but these libraries also have their own release schedule and may only support security fixes on their current version.

This can result in a situation where you could have weekly or monthly updates just to include library updates even if you haven't added any features directly to the app itself.

Didn't they have some server issues? I thought they had abandoned it a while ago.

So... Its not reviewing as well as Fighterz

Thats not necessarily a fair comparison but if they are asking au$180 / €120 / us$110 / £105 then they need to offer a strong reason to upgrade.

Or just use one of the hundreds of guides the AI was trained on.

The overloaded breakfast table is a trope so tired they were parodying it 30 years ago.

Where i am if the ticketing machine is down the diver will ask people to take a seat without paying. They usually use the same phrase as your driver.

Eyeballing the login screen may give some insight, you're right that its probably unwise to try real creds if you don't recognize the server.

Home network or corporate?

Its a windows server, if you are using widows too you can try establishing a RDP connection with Remote Desktop Connection.

You are probably right but there has to be some kind of path forward baked into the regulations.

It will be a bit of a farce if retro gaming becomes illegal because no one submits the paperwork for 8-bit consoles.

I enjoyed the green hill zone set.

The others seem a bit pricy!
