The hottest year on record… So far.

“beset on all sides, with idiots”

“prison warden advocates for locking everyone up for their own safety”

The network providers know full well that the market is saturated and that they have to make a better offer if they want to gain market share. The only thing device lock in does is improve their bottom line since they can force you into a shitty contract for longer. It has NO benefit for the consumer whatsoever.

Money. That’s why.

People double dipping and people that buy it on pc release for full price when that is just too much to ask at that point.

I waited years and years for RdR2 to be at a reasonable price, only bought it because I had a gift card and only needed to pay what amounted to a candy bar. Still managed to get disappointed with the start of the game. In hindsight I should have gotten a refund for it because a candy bar would have been the better choice.

Cool. But I can’t help the fact that it feels like a potential security risk to me. It is not unknown just how low they can stoop to get their way so I would expect that to be no different there.

Everyone else could just say :" the rules say… But you don’t give a fuck about the rules so we won’t do that either. Get dumped…" And then just exclude him everywhere and revoke their access and all that. But that is unlikely to happen for reasons. But they could…

While I have not played overwatch myself, I have heard about a few things with it. From my point of view overwatch had it’s own problems including characters that did only one thing but that one thing really, really well. Which is frustrating. It also didn’t help that they tried to force things instead of actually working with what they had. IMHO it’s a master class of what not to do with a game unless you want to to fail.

You have to balance that. A pure healer would need to be so strong that it would become the primary target at all times. Which would be frustrating for both sides. For players playing against it because they can’t really play the game anymore. For the pure healers because they would be under tons of pressure.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) we (should) design games around a core audience. Chances are that if your ( r my) hypothetical friend isn’t enjoying the competitive part of the game at all, that she (or he) is going to get frustrated at that game at some point anyways. And there are probably games that suit both your needs better to start with. Competitive games may just not be the right choice. Don’t ruin the game feel of those games for those that enjoy them for the sake of non competitive players because that will just create a game that no one actually wants to play.

I enjoy playing support classes, you want me to stop Playing support classes? Make it so that they are utterly defenseless and rely solely on others to stay alive.

Ultimately, it will play absolutely terribly if all you can do is run away unless you are playing with a well organized team. And then you may find that all your team mates get to have all the fun in the game while you get stuck with only the boring stuff.

No thank you.

For real. Hacknet uses commands that work like that in the usual Linux terminals. Including the auto complete feature. At the very least you will learn the basics from that game. As for if you should start to play it. Well the question is if you enjoy a puzzle game with a story that is hacking themed using actual terminal commands to do stuff. If that sounds like fun the go for it.

Ah hacknet. Teaching people Linux terminal in a fun way without them even noticing.

In my personal experience, ignoring them really doesn’t help anyone but them. They will find a way to spin that into their favour.

And to perhaps go on a short tangent : one of the best ways to get rid of an infection is to kill it. Even our body’s immune system knows about that and is usually doing just that. To the point where it just orders sick body cells to die.

In other words. Not helping them by not giving them any more free real estate is not enough, you need to make their lives actively miserable.

Or yet again in other words, not paying them any more money is not good enough to stop otban or Hungary, you actually need to make it hurt for them if they keep doing what they want. Give their actions actual consequences.

As it stands right now Hungary is best either out of the EU or at least has ALL their rights taken away from them while it stays how it is. Including all the EU funds and then some.

They play hardball? You need to play hardball better than them. Simple as that.

Gotta fine them more than that. Lots more,it has to be painful for them at this point. As it is right now we REALLY don’t need them in the EU like that.

Almost like shitty and unsustainable business practices have consequences and those are starting to show now. Who would have thought…

Yet… Ubisoft did go and “remove” the keys for the crew when they shut that one down. No one but them can really say if they actually deleted them or not. though I have my doubts with how that company has acted in recent years.

There are reasons for why that is possible, for better or worse.

To reverse malicious actions that may have been taken by other people that got access to the account for any reason for example.

There may even be legal reasons for why that is the case. Licensing law can be quite complicated.

And then there is the fact that if it’s hidden it’s effectively gone anyways and that may actually be what people actually care about. Not whether or not they technically still have that game or not. People wanting a clean library is a thing and it ties into the concept that is the right to be forgotten.

I can only speak for Deus ex: mankind divided since I have played that myself.

It is technically a sequel in the sense that there are other Deus ex games that came before it with the original Deus ex, invisible war and human revolution. That said every single one of those games has it’s own self contained story with only some overlap between them. Mankind divided features the same main character to play from the previous game but everything else is different. From the location to the characters barring one which isn’t an issue for reasons… And is also otherwise completely isolated from the first two games maybe with one Hommage that you might miss If you don’t know the first game but then it’s just a great character instead of the thing it’s supposed to be.

Long story short, IMHO you can just pick that one up and play it without worrying about missing a ton.

One of the better indie RPGs that got released in recent years. Featuring an “online” (CrossCode is Singleplayer) world with a story and other charactersto interact with (all of which with different personalities and even writing styles to not just make the world feel alive but also the other “players”. Platforming, some puzzles, nice and fun combat, RPG elements and some surprisingly novel ideas.

It really is worth the asking price.

What a calamity. Which is ironically how the capsule that is stuck got named. The jokes just write themselves.

I mainly wonder how they are going to solve a broken microswitch with a software update…
