“You know what I am talking about colloquially”

I must not, because I see zero difference between Steam and GoG in this regard other than the fact that Steam provides a bunch of side services that GoG does not. Otherwise they’re both just selling you a revokable license to play a game.

They specifically state that they won’t use your data for commercial purposes. Until the company merges or gets bought I guess.

Which you won’t hear about until after all the existing data has been scraped off the servers. The company, if bought, will be bought for the value of their data stores and whatever corporation purchases them will specifically want to keep the news quiet until after they’ve gotten their value out of the data store. Therefore this is a non-starter as you may as well just hand the info to Dropbox today.

Yeah, I’m not sure what’s up with Kingmaker. It got dropped like a hot potato in favor of Wrath of The Righteous, which is to this day still receiving updates and is, in my opinion, a stellar game. Kingmaker for sure got the short end of the stick though.

I’ve only just recently gotten into Act 2 but so far I haven’t come across a single bug, actually. Seems very polished. It does require a bit of a Warhammer primer before coming in if you want to know what’s going on though. The game does a good enough job of explaining things that are important within the game but a lot of the context and fine details will escape you if you don’t know at least a little about the 40k setting at large.

I didn’t mind them that much, I viewed them more as a puzzle than a combat. It helped break up some of the run and gun of the rest of the game and you always knew you were getting a cool ability when you got through it.

That said though I’ll admit the last couple EMMIs did give me a really hard time with many, many resets. But I did get through them. And once I even managed to get the perfect parry and escape after getting got by the EMMI and it was extremely hype.

Been putting a lot of hours recently into Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. It’s been a while since we’ve seen a really high quality 40k game. Most of the popular (and good) Warhammer games take place in Age of Sigmar and not 40k. (Boltgun being a notable recent exception here)

But damn, Rogue Trader really hits the nail right on the head so far. I’ve never played Dark Heresy tabletop so the ruleset takes a little getting used to for someone primarily familiar with Pathfinder rules, but once you understand the basics the rest of the game falls right into place. The lore is spot on and the adventure is fun and interesting. Highly recommend to tabletop fans and Warhammer fans each separately, and if you’re both like I am, it’s a must buy.

I was so impressed with Metroid Dread, like seriously. As a long time fan of the series I was going to buy the game anyway but it’s just such an impressively polished and put together piece of art. I was deeply impressed with it. I’m also a big fan of the direction it’s taking the lore into.

Edit: can’t get the spoiler tag to work so I just removed the second half of my comment sorry

And you believe me, there is definitely a market for that lmao

Not here to tell you how to live your life, of course. But there are a non-zero number of people that would love to see that and not to make fun of you for it.

Recently, eh?

You consider the 1800’s recent? Because there were news articles reporting on the issue back then.

Here’s an article from 1896 for you to read over, provided you care about learning how you’re wrong.

Jojo’s is already a work of comedy, but take what it already is and now imagine Joseph and Jotaro with thick cockney accents, Avdol as Bob Marley, Polnareff gains +6000% “HON HON BAGUETTE” style and Kakyoin is a drunk Australian half-assing his lines

Edit: in this hypothetical dub where every character is a caricature of themselves, Hol Horse remains entirely unchanged from original

That is outside of our scope of vision and equally as unknowable as the true purpose of God.

Uncle Enzo isn’t going to let you down unless you let him down first.

While you may be correct I think you’re still missing the point. CLI is for super nerds. While you and I may know how to use it, the average person doesn’t, and is unlikely to put in the effort to learn. That is the innovation that Apple made in bringing computing to the mainstream. It was precisely because people didn’t have to learn how to navigate the CLI environment and instead got an easy point-and-click interface that computers caught on with the public at large, and that gained Apple an absolute ton of cash money and noteriety.

I’m reading a lot of “this can’t be true because I feel that it isn’t” in this reply. But I can’t go individually track down all the sources at the moment so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt for now.

I mean in the 60s we all thought we’d be destroyed by atomic bombs

Which wasn’t something that was guaranteed to happen. You had a reasonable hope that political interaction would make that unnecessary, which is what ended up happening.

We are 100% guaranteed to face climate catastrophe and can no longer prevent it, only attempt to handle and contain it when it inevitably crosses the line of survivability, and even that is looking unlikely these days. These things are not the same.

Would you rather trust information from Forbes, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, MassMutual Financial Group, or the Consumer Electronics Association?

Good, because that’s where nearly all their sources are from. Click the links. Leads right to the primary source.

At least read the article before dismissing it out of hand.

This particular dev didn’t. But the Starfield team at large has been blowing up the internet recently telling people that don’t like the game that their opinions are wrong.

Netflix used to be that and everyone bought the hell out of it. Then it enshittened and all the shows moved to proprietary platforms and now you need 19 subscriptions to get a selection of shows you care about. No thanks.

There are powerful lessons to be learned from the successes of Steam and Spotify if only the relevant people look and listen.

Your phone has to be informed somehow, from the internet, that it has data to present as a notification. The fact that you got a notification at 3:32 and then again at 3:35 is trackable data, pretty much no matter what anyone does with it, encrypted or not. Doubly so if someone has MITM attacked your data stream. They may not know what the notification contains or even what app it was sent to, but the act of transmitting and then receiving this data packet over cell network or internet is a trackable event. And I don’t really know what Apple could even do about that beyond attempting to build Internet 2 solely for the purposes of keeping the cops out of it, which is unlikely at best.
