Notably this is not the developer who has done Life is Strange True Colours, Double Exposure or Reunion.

This is the ones that did the amazing first one, the meh second one, and then a bunch of non-LiS games that IMO were of varying and unstable quality. Although I'll have to make an exception for Bloom&Rage, because that one was absolutely fantastic, for all its flaws.

I really feel Don't Nod is a studio that captured lightning in a bottle, and have since mostly failed to understand how they did, and how to replicate it. They're still chasing it.

No parallel port for a printer, either. Pah!

Yeah that'd clearly be absurd. Nobody would believe something so obviously wrong.

...

Right? 😅

It was both, tbh.

It was a very rough product but the person above you is also right that it pushed the industry forward in a fair few ways.

Yeah and whos fault except yours is that, Satan Nutella? Huh? Who could have possibly changed things to have this be any different? Who is responsible for what the company as a whole does?!

JPEG XL! Now that's a name I haven't heard for a long time.

Is that format finally gaining some momentum?

I mean this one - hopefully - still wants Location, Camera, Microphone and Files, right? Otherwise it'd be pretty limited as a camera. Granted I suspect it only wants Location if I turn on EXIF location as per its description, but the other three would be the bare minimum to work I imagine.

(edit)
Just checked it out, and yeah as expected it of course needs Camera, Microphone and Files. It doesn't seem to ask for Location even if EXIF is enabled, which maps as it seems to be unable to even record location-of-picture even if desired.

So same permissions as both my Google Cam port and the pre-installed Fairphone camera app, yeah.

WDYM?

My camera app (Fairphone) asked me for:

• Location. Makes sense, I set it to record where each picture was taken, can hardly do that if it doesn't know the location.
• Microphone. Yeah, I wanna record sound in my videos.
• Camera. Duh.
• Files permission. I like my pictures and videos to be actually saved, so this makes sense.

What permissions in addition to these pretty obvious ones does yours want?

Yeah americans genuinely would rather have a rapist as a president than a woman, amazing. (jokes aside, you are of course correct that this immediately disproves that theory that people don't care who the leader is)

Yeah these people have constant access to the internet yet are entirely unable to spend 4 seconds on it to look up picture of middle-aged highland folks who are working in the sun all day.
