FYI it fails to fetch votes if you don’t include https:// at the start.

That’s because the old game is still there, it’s internally running the same engine under the hood but with Unreal Engine 5 used for its graphics & rendering.

Please tell me this is with 4k textures but there would be a download without them

$20 is a steal.

Please yes. The average person doesn’t need an insane graphics card, if they can make an APU that’s affordable it’ll fly off the shelves.

I was very concerned reading those first few words

Plenty of devs think it’s easier than it is. A ton of games are built on proprietary tools, and then you get into legal hot water on whether you can even give away things like the soundtrack or assets you bought like stock sound effects.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they looked at it after the petition and thought “wait, I actually can’t open source this”

I pray this will be good, but I’m still skeptical on the idea of a multiplayer roguelike with the same assets of the original game. It might just be a cashgrab.

Same here. If you build up layers of oil and stuff on the basket it’s never coming out. It’s not a big deal IMHO.

I understand it well. It’s still relevant to mention that you can run the distilled models on consumer hardware if you really care about privacy. 8GB+ VRAM isn’t crazy, especially if you have a ton of unified memory on macbooks or some Windows laptops releasing this year that have 64+GB unified memory. There are also websites re-hosting various versions of Deepseek like Huggingface hosting the 32B model which is good enough for most people.

Instead, the article is written like there is literally no way to use Deepseek privately, which is literally wrong.

DeepSeek is open source, meaning you can modify code(new window) on your own app to create an independent — and more secure — version. This has led some to hope that a more privacy-friendly version of DeepSeek could be developed. However, using DeepSeek in its current form — as it exists today, hosted in China — comes with serious risks for anyone concerned about their most sensitive, private information.

Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers is still subject to Chinese data laws, meaning that the Chinese government can demand access at any time.

What??? Whoever wrote this sounds like he has 0 understanding of how it works. There is no “more privacy-friendly version” that could be developed, the models are already out and you can run the entire model 100% locally. That’s as privacy-friendly as it gets.

“Any model trained or operated on DeepSeek’s servers are still subject to Chinese data laws”

Operated, yes. Trained, no. The model is MIT licensed, China has nothing on you when you run it yourself. I expect better from a company whose whole business is on privacy.

HuggingChat is open source and lets you use DeepSeek.

Very misleading, it lets you use the lighter, watered-down version (Deepseek 32B) compared to the large impressive model they have (Deepseek 671B)

It’s not that weird, some ports only get reviews as soon as it releases.

Graphics cards will be the least of your worries. Putting tariffs on chips will crash the economy, there’s no way anyone will let him do this.

Making a dumb tweet doesn’t make you a fascist and doesn’t invalidate the years of hard work people put into a non-profit swiss company, you should get over yourself.

There’s the samsung tab S9 but it’s expensive and not exactly what you’re looking for. It’s 11", has a high resolution 120Hz AMOLED screen, and I can vouch that it’s really premium. You can put on a matte screen protector if you hate reflections.

The problem is that a 90Hz+ oled screen is almost exclusive to high-end tablets, so it’s best if you find one used or refurbished if you’re just going to use it for reading.

Yeah most game news websites don’t understand stocks but in this case, DA Vanguard was a massive failure. In the press release, the game was played by 1.5 million people. Not copies sold, just played. This probably includes people that just bought a month of EA Play to check it out.

The newest fifa game (EA sports FC now) also under-performed but they didn’t say much about it beyond that. A few more flops and it sounds like EA could be following Ubisoft into crashing hard.

Hype talk, that doesn’t mean anything. Nvidia is right in that almost every game will have AI upscaling though.

Neither, seems like a remake made in Unreal Engine 5. We don’t know which one it’s closer to yet but it’s releasing today so we’ll know soon enough.
