HUNGER
War has ravaged Europe - but something far worse now grips the continent. A Bacterium of unknown origin has twisted the land, leaving behind only ruin, fear, and something far more sinister. In this PvPvE first person extraction RPG, players will scavenge a decaying world, face unspeakable horrors, and outlast rival survivors in desperate, high…
store.steampowered.comThis game has a terrible name and is being marketed poorly
but it's one of the more mechanically ambitious extraction games upcoming
they're doing a tech test thing soon, which hopefully we can get some keys for

I have read the Google paper now
this is actually really cool
links on the right if you just want the journals
this will sound like a meme, but this is just backporting quantum cryptography to data compression
which solving efficiently using traditional compute is genuinely impressive
also this will have limited impact on consumer AI (decode constrained by memory BW) and have zero effect on RAM prices (stocks are responding to Russia increasing the price of Helium-4)

Updated data and two new conversion methods

the multivariable thing seems to screw over some countries
it's weird that in some countries it fucks them over
and others it helps
I understand Valve have to (at least pretend to care) about 3rd world scams and keysales
but honestly, just let devs charge nothing for most countries
S. America are the ones I know are the most fucked
because their "normal" prices are a joke
and everyone just buys from the black market
cad is still lower than for direct conversion, but not much lower
some of them just being higher is funny
Yeah taking the min of those two seems optimal imo
4th and 5th option for devs
min/max of all
I just noticed this problem when I was fixing hte PQ soundtrack
the currency updates happen
ALL THE TIME
so if you don't have one of the global filters set to match
and are actually tweaking each one
you'll fall out of sync and then have gifting/sale limitations
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Cont. Act 4 (2-3 hours): I'm not sure why this was its own act, re-introduces some stuff from Act 1 and was probably initially when the game was supposed to unlock fast travel, before they realized that doing that 20-30 hours in would be insane Act 5 (10-15 hours): Narratively, this is "Act 2" since it kicks off the actual story, also the point in the game where you're expected to understand the meta/world mechanics (edited)
Cont.
Act 6 (10 hours): Uno-reversing the Holocaust
Act 7 (10 hours): A completely unrelated, additional Holocaust
