Exactly, the moment things cost real money in the game, the design of the game changes to increase likelihood of spending. Guild Wars 2 e.g. sells increased inventory space…and it fills your inventory with so many crap items that you’ll constantly be managing your inventory without the extra space.

Firefox not getting better in the last 15 years is quite disingenuous though.

I use Pixels, it’s very barebones but that’s exactly what I wanted in a mood tracker!

Need for Speed Porsche to be honest. The campaign of going through the Porsche eras is iconic. Buying new cars and tuning them up is really fun and you really feel the difference between the cars.

Thank you for that insightful rebuttal.

If a country (Russia) has decided it wants to be aggressive, then there are really only two ways to prevent a war with them:

1. Increase your own strength
2. Decrease their strength

Usually, number 1 is the only feasible way for a country without outright opening up hostilities. However, Russia has given the world an opportunity, by attacking Ukraine, to enact number 2 relatively risk-free.

I fully believe that if Russia is given leeway then they’d just continue on. Appeasement, as World War 2 has shown, does not work with personalities like that. By supporting Ukraine in this conflict, number 2 can be accomplished.

And this war can be stopped, today! By Russia withdrawing from Ukraine. So please, aim your ire at Putin who started and stubbornly keeps this war going.

The russian soldiers are in an awful predicament in this war. But they are still the aggressors and Ukraine has the right (obligation even, seeing what Russia tends to do to civilian population it conquers) to defend itself against them…and as awful as these weapons are, they have not been used in an illegal way here according to international law (something that Russia doesn’t give a flying fuck about, btw.).
Personally, I don’t see a moral issue here though I of course would prefer if noone had to die of which only happens in the case of Putin withdrawing his troops right now.

The original developers worked on the previous expansion.

Core Keeper comes out of Early Access soon I think and should be up your alley

The worst fate.

I swallowed shampoo

I pretty much stopped watching videos like that. “$Game story EXPLAINED” but actually it’s just a 30 minute rehash of the story without anything added to it or explained by the content “creator”.

The Trump presidency and the years since then have more than ever shown that the rules don’t apply to everyone equally.

I agree that the code is probably poor but I doubt it was a conscious decision to crash the OS.

The code is probably just:

1. Load config data
2. Do something with data

And 2 fails unexpectedly because the data is garbage and wasn’t checked if it’s valid.

Problem is that software cannot deal with unexpected situations like a human brain can. Computers do exactly what a programmer tells it to do, nothing more nothing less. So if a situation arises that the programmer hasn’t written code for, then there will be a crash.

Most Video Games work on Linux these days.

Anti-Cheat software is usually still a problem though due to their invasiveness that cannot be handled easily.

No thanks.

I wonder which license they are going to use. Is it gonna be just an open source one or full-on FOSS?

Same thing that happened at Boeing.

Openstreetmap is really good…except for the detailed information about shops which is why I still use Google Maps if I need to know opening hours and other information.
OSM is just not widespread enough to be on the radar of shop owners to put their information on it themselves so volunteers have to do it. :/

If one does that, be prepared to defend yourself against the copyright infringement lawsuit that’s coming your way eventually.
