    You could also drive an old hooptie with 300,000 miles on it and it might work for a period of time but don't removed at your mechanic when the engine finally gives out.

    You're throwing back "It just works." at them because you failed to maintain a Windows VM that you haven't updated in FIVE YEARS? Not to mention that you really expect game dev studios test and support running a game in virtual box??

    If you want to do something tech savvy, that's on you to do the tech part.

    This has to be one of the most wild "gamer" complaints I've ever seen.

    Trump is almost 1:1 a character straight from Transmetropolitan.

    Then you have people like Elon that are straight from any cyberpunk media corporate heads.

    The parallels between the themes of a cyberpunk dystopia and the present are drawing pretty close.

    We just don’t get any of the cool shit like cybernetic implants.

    That’s what makes this even more of an issue. The game isn’t procedural. They used procedural tooling but everything is set in stone now. They could’ve gone through and cleaned up and tweaked everything so it didn’t feel bland. Doesn’t sound like they did.

    I knew the writing/rpg aspect was going to be shallow like all of Bethesda games but, they always had fun exploration so this is unfortunate to me. It sounds like they reuse assets a lot, even in the main quest line. Like same buildings with the same enemy placement just on a different planet.

    Lol I do the same. Went from “what is this? It doesn’t do anything why is this here?” to doing doing it every turn because I’m a god damn bard.

    My favorite is that if you get hit the song gets interrupted for the rest of the turn. Like it was actually doing anything to begin with. I guess it makes me want to get some serious revenge.

    That’s because the government has had tech way beyond even what we have today. They just peace-meal it out to us bro. They’ve been coordinating mass propaganda against us 1984 style since like. Before 1984.

    I don’t think the recommendation is about knowing the rules.

    I think it’s recommended that Dark Urge is only played after your first play through because something with the character is going to drastically change the story and your decisions. Just judging from the name alone it sounds like you’re going to have to fight against the character to make decisions in the game that aren’t evil or what not.

    Maybe not a touchpad, but I DEFINITELY remember adaptive triggers while playing Super Mario Bros on NES. It made the jumps extra fun. Also the gyro controls on the card game were really neat.

    I wish they’d finally add other cool features to controllers since than rather than just the trackpad.

    But you don’t understand! It’s not straightforward!

    They totally care about the employees there. It’s definitely not about the profit they made that had them paying 33m in taxes to Russia last year.

    I’m sure they offered to relocate the employees and not you know, just leave them working in the country to get conscripted.

    Lol. Just for shits and giggles I want to entertain this for a second.

    You’d probably want to pay hackers in a country that isn’t friendly with the US to do this. Russia, North Korea, China, Iran.

    Three of those countries are heavily sanctioned right now. I wouldn’t want sketchy money flowing to Russia at the moment even if it didn’t technically fall under sanctions since money flow is being scrutinized. Same with NK and Iran.

    So that would leave China. I think you could get away with it there pretty easily.

    And lo and behold….

    It’s going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they won’t want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.

    The biggest issue though is that you’ll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless you’re in Europe, it’s their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.

    I agree. Getting cutscenes and actual story content rather than just some tweaked changes and a few items added is a good proposition.

    For 4-10 bucks every three months that’s totally sane.

    I’m also really enjoying the “free pass” season chapters. It gives you some goals to work on if you skip the campaign rather than just renown and farming whispering tree.

    I’m not surprised they used Reddit data to train. I am shocked a bit at how fucking lazy and haphazard they were with the data.

    There’s only logical arguments for anonymizing the data which it looks like they didn’t do. It’s such a massive privacy risk not to. It also puts the company at legal risk. Who knows what other bizarre info it’ll leak.

    I purposely bought the base dash on my Focus ST. Screen is smaller than a phone like 4 inches at most, has no apps. It Bluetooth syncs my phone for music and calls. There’s no touchscreen, all interactions are dedicated knobs and buttons.

    For GPS I just use my phone and audio directions, my smart watch has the upcoming direction as well. If I really don’t know where I’m going I have a dash mount for my phone if I need it. But that’s not often.

    It’s great honestly and the dash doesn’t blind me driving at night.

    I was also looking at a Mazda before I got this car and their dash is absolutely horrendous. It’s like they just took a Alibaba knock off iPad and welded it on top of the dash. It’s literally in your view of the road causing a small blind spot.

    If you had told me the Orioles might make a playoff run by squeezing through the wild card in the next 5+ years I would maybe believe it. But being the best team in the American League after the All-Star break there's no way I could believe that. I don't think anyone could.

    I wish they would as well but the cable deals are so insanely lucrative. The TEAM collects like 5-7 dollars per cable subscriber PER MONTH. It’s basically a tax on the city. Just picking a random number but like say 80% of subscribers don’t watch a baseball game any given month. They’re still paying 5-7 bucks for the privilege.

    It’s a system that could ONLY exist under cable monopolies. There’s no way they’ll ever have such a sweet deal if people have to willingly go out of their way to pay for streaming.

    Yeah but if the hotfix is still just reverting the drop rate you still need 250 now instead of 175. As a casual player that tries to do helltides if they happen to be there it basically kills them for me if the timing isn’t miraculous. I’d rather they just limit it to 1 mystery chest or something.

    I really don’t get the helltides nerf. They’re supposed to be special events. If you don’t catch the helltide immediately at the start getting to 250 is way too stressful.

    Limbo is fantastic

    I can’t believe how fully featured this app is already. It works great and I’ve had no major issues so far. I had posted a comment earlier on the desktop but it may have gotten lost. The UI could use a bit of cosmetic tweaks. Nothing major. Just make contrast between elements a bit more subtle in light mode. Things like that. I have gotten some exceptionally large images on posts. But this is miles above anything I’ve used yet. I adore it. Kudos.
