I think this is one case that will bring everyone together, since I don’t know a person, woke or not, that hate Ciri.

The only worry might be that they might write Ciri as a Mary sue, but so far CDPR writing dept has been top notch, so I am very optimistic about this

When I create gambling addiction to kids I’m an outstanding human being, but if gamers don’t like my games, they are horrible human beings.

This blowhard

It’s not about the practicality, it’s the fact that it is there in the first place. Its like to boiling frog, gradually adding slightly more crap with each iteration.

So of course they will not add full pay to win in single players in one shot

Veneto is more like Texas tbh

They 100% don’t. The management and the publisher on the other hand can die in a fire

Just finished Hogwarts yesterday for the first time. I absolutely love the world building, but I found the story a bit lacking. In my mind I ended up siding with Ranrok, in his quest to free the goblins, Sebastian (Solomon was an asshole thorough and through), and the ending was pretty vanilla. Also the whole idea in the ending of keeping the ancient power secret makes no sense: the same implications could be made100% for normal magic

So you know the Lemmy instance Lemmy.world? Well, there is another instance called hexbear… Which is full of hardcore, Stalinist communist. And every user of every other instance hates them

The problem is that humans are subjective in my opinion. Water is not (or at least not the the degree humans are). With the same pressure, all water freeze at the same temp. Ask a Minnesotan or a Floridian (just to remain within the US, can use Greek/Norwegian for EU) what “cold” means, and they’ll have VERY different answers

As usual, there should be a bit of flexibility in there. I am not saying “oh, it’s 0C, therefore ALL water in all town is frozen , lets wait until it gets to 1C so all water melt”. But more on the line “oh, its around 0C (+ or - 5C), lets be careful while driving because some of the streets might have ice”. Farenheit freezing temp is 32 I think? Thats VERY arbitrary. A lot more than C.

I always found fahrenheit a lot more arbitrary: in Celsius 0 is the freezing of water, so if you are driving/walking, that is a very important temperature to look out for. Also 30 being hot or 100 being hot outside does not really make a difference. Some people find 30 hot, some other find it OK, since its subjective anyway

I absolutely adore their feedback/early access system.

All games should have an early access like that. Not a shitty way to release a crap full of bugs to steam out, but a very analytic/data and feedback base way to improve the game. Basically giving the players a very large demo that can be easily changed in order to improve it.

Who would have thought? Not me!

I quite like Chromium. Maybe is my tinted glass when I just switched from Firefox/Explorer. The fact that your browser would pop up almost instantly instead of taking those 2-3 seconds to start was quite revolutionary (Firefox of course caught up quite soon on that regard, Microsoft had to adopt Chromium to do the same).

But yeah, the current bloatware and resouce gourging are quite bad when looking at it impartially.

I see a couple of ad “emails” entries in my promotion side of the inbox, usually in the 3-4 rows, and I also use both adblock + uorigin. Again, not really disrupting, because its usually a section of the inbox I dont go into too much, but I can see it being annoying for others

So far the only complaints I have is the lack of population (my teams communities are so small there is no real conversation going on), and some delays in these days. But tbh, both are to be expected, so I dont mind them too much. Really rooting for the instances admins ramping up the servers, and for people to migrate here.

Functionality wise, I was a bit confused by the federatization concept but it is pretty similar to reddit so except for creating the account it is pretty good!

We are evolving. Just backwards!

The main problem of linux is that 90% of the downloadable software out there is written for Windows. And so are 90% of the games.

So it depends on what you use your PC for.

I think the issue here is not which browser is better, but companies not respecting your preferences and use scummy methods to make you switch. This might be a Microsoft issue now, but I can see it becoming a slippery slope and have more companies in the future do the same. Lets say that Microsoft succeed here: whats stopping Google to do the exact same with Android. Then you end up to keep in sync your favorites in 3 different browsers (Safari, Edge, Chrome. Firefox gets shafted since even if you use it as default each company will force its own browser) depending on the OS you are using.

I think this is the main point: they saw how the latest anti trust lawsuits went (especially mergers), and decided it was the right time to push it again. If this goes to court, prepare to be anal blasted by Microsoft. The only hope is that this turns into a battle of companies, so that Google and others can finance the opposite side to get the anti trust resolution to pass.

Its usually in the separate tab, the “promotion” tab, where they send most subscriptions emails. It’s not good, but it could be miles worse. Yahoo mail for example is a lot worse: you get Ads in the website taking away screen space unless you pay a premium
