Total Annihilation

Some memorable moments in no particular order:

• Outer Wilds when you reach the Sun Station
• Descending into the Lost River biome in Subnautica
• Alan Wake 2: The Musical

“The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year.”

A key part of Moore’s law which is often omitted is that Moore was not just talking about transistor density but about cost. When people say we’ve reached the end of Moore’s law this is not because we’re no longer able to increase semiconductor transistor density (just look at TSMC’s roadmap) but that the “complexity for minimum component costs” is no longer increasing. Chips are still getting faster but they’re now also more expensive.

Ah, thanks. That was entirely unclear from this article.

Another game I simply won’t need to buy. Neat. I guess some publishers just don’t like selling games or something.

Judging from the video description this seems to be a remake of the original Frostpunk in Unreal Engine. Not sure why they’re doing it. The original is still just fine.
