As far as I read/understand, nope. But if it does limit the assistance to 28 miles an hour, that might be required if the bike goes above that speed. (Note: that’s only the point where the power would stop assisting, not the fastest speed the bike can do.)

Umm that’s not exactly what they’re saying.

It would update a 27-year-old law to create three new classes of electric bikes based on the type of motor and how fast they can go.

Hell the ACTUAL statute is just defining what a e-bike is. You can see it here: https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2024r1/Measures/Overview/HB4103

It does say class 1 can be operated by anyone, but 2 and 3 can be limited to 16 and older. Yes that’s more restrictive then the past, but really it’s “Defining the e-bikes” because they were poorly defined based on an almost hundred year old law.

That being said it does limit the top speed of an e-bike to 28 miles an hour, I assume above that it’s now a motocycle, and honestly, that might be a good thing, because at that speed they no will come out of no where (hell at 20-30 miles an hour they still will)

This is hardly as bad as the title.

“Well we clearly need to make it even more illegal then” -The Government

(Although technically was 16 year olds not allowed to ride e-bikes? If so then this is more permissive, because it says 16 year olds can ride class 1 bikes)

“You’re the guy who put Microtransactions into FIFA? Come on in and sit down!”

They always knew.

The board that allowed him to present and push the idea forward is still there. The power structure that wanted this change is still there.

Riccitello is gone (and fuck him for many reasons) but Unity isn’t changed, it just has a different face.

Truthfully Agents of Mayhem isn’t Overwatch… Which is kind of the problem. It wasn’t saints row, It wasn’t a new game. It just kind of existed.

More like "We don’t want to say it was only that game… "

Though actually with it a year later, I would say their follow up effort wasn’t amazing them… which makes more sense. They probably were going through Pre-prod on “saints row too” or what ever it was going to be. And Embracer didn’t want to continue.

I wonder if this is just a Hail Mary to try to stop the fear that the merger will make Microsoft the most dominant face in streaming.

Even if it’s agreed upon, it just means in two generations once internet speeds reach where they need to be for streaming to be feasible, Microsoft will get those rights back. Streaming means next to nothing today, but the fear is in a couple generations, that’s going to be the future of gaming, especially seeing how much publishers want to stop gamers from owning anything.

Said none of those companies.

Listen, all those companies suck, but you don’t have to put words in their mouths, everyone seems extremely positive about Baldur’s Gate, and I would say almost all developer aspire to reach the same breadth and depth as Baldur’s Gate 3 with as much polish as they put on it. There’s a long list of reasons why they can’t or don’t (often publishers… or scope creep… but mostly publishers).

Unless there’s a massive thread of shit talking from other developers that I’m missing, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t exist.

As someone who LOVED the previous two South Park games. This give me no interest.

Can’t really tell exactly what this game is, but it sounds like a brawler, survival game, or just multiplayer focused game.

Not saying it won’t be good, I hope it is, but using Cartman in a wizards robe, made me hopeful for more South Park style RPGs. This feels like it’ll be cheaper (to make). Though I’m sure it’ll find some fans.

Lol me too. I was just thinking the expensive corporate printers I’ve used. Home printers have to be more sixty percent of the time on a good day.

I’ve a theory that no printer anywhere has ever properly worked, and people are just happy with 95 percent of a usable printer.

It might not be that crazy.

Try running two applications that require different versions of a package on linux. fun

Like Linux might be the best for choosing when to update, but everytime I’ve HAD to update, it’s more because of a new hellish problem that I need to resolve, where as Windows/Apple works as expected.

Add to that the forced update on Windows are security updates. Linux doesn’t force security updates which means if you’re not keeping on top of it, your linux system has security issues that have hopefully been patched already, but you’re not on the latest.

Also same reason I’m ok with Android not allowing roll back, but I DO fucking mind that my 64 gig phone had 10 gigs of System space… and now has 22 gigs of system space because of updates/bloat.

And that’s also before I start talking about Python and assholes who don’t use virtual enviroments, and requirement files… Sorry sorry, not technically linux specifically, but god damn that’s a huge pet peeve.

And people still use python2!!!. Ok I’ll stop now,. But holy shit that bothers me.

Jesus… if you beat yourself up this much over games, how do you deal with stuff that really matters. Do you moralize over the gas you buy? Do you consider the cable company who gives you the internet connection, when you have only one option? Do you freak out over every single piece of food you purchase, and the supermarket you buy it from, and the television you watch?

Or do you only wax endlessly on video games? Play what you want to, or don’t, but you’re putting way too much thought into this, and if that’s what you want to do, you’ve made your choice, but then perhaps you need to stop buying almost all video games, and read up on crunch, because almost every video game is made at the expense of their employees, and their mental health.

You do you.

As for me, I’ll continue to support companies who I think make a good product, and not avoid stuff like Hogwarts Legacy, or Balder’s Gate, because I realize the majority of the money I spend to pay for those games go to the developers who worked extremely hard to give fans something special. Because you won’t hurt the big companies, but you definitely will destroy the developer and the company that made the game with that attitude.

Wait… You built a computer. Installed an OS on it, one of the easiest OSes to install… And now are having an issue installing steam… And somehow it’s the OS’ fault?

This is either fake, trying to pirate windows, or your trying to avoid responsibility for not being able to assemble a simple computer. Wtf?

You’d like to think that, but there’s a lot of people who got into gaming for the wrong reasons (making a lot of money. Fame) and not the right reason (I want to make something awesome that people enjoy).

There are definitely good people in the industry, but there are a number of devs (designers and managers) who only care about the bottom line or money. They’ll think huge profits mean they’ll get massive bonuses, and ignore how the product will be received. It’s not the investors, but involving the wrong people in the process.

It should be VIM

No one comes back from VIM.

Those who say they have are dirty liars… or have it paused in the background.

It costs penny on the dollar to archive the final code base of these games.

Saying it’s fine is like saying a artist shouldn’t keep copies of their work on the wall because there’s no money it’s it.

Companies should have pride in their accomplishments. These companies only care about profitability, and care nothing about what they have done in the past unless it makes them more money. It’s why modern gaming feels soulless.

Nah, too late. We’ll sail the high seas when it comes to your games, because first you tried it, now we see this policy can change on a whim.

Theres no used to be when it comes to these rants. It’s just a ticking clock to the next one
