I haven’t played SWTOR since the end of the Valkorion storyline (so well before the major class revamp), but starting thinking about checking out again recently. This update seems like a nice timing to revisit

I would assume they do. When companies have these free deals, then the intermediary/store hosting the deal will be the party who pays for the claimed copies. As such it is technically copies sold, even though the price is not necessarly the current full price that consumer would pay in another store

A risky skip that makes or brakes any run, especially as it causes a soft lock if you mess it up

There are many sublime sublemmies

Which then transistions into “Warhammer collects my money”

Lot’s of fantastic runs and runners this year!

Imo top quoting, where the reply is added to the bottom of for example an email, is far superior to bottom quoting, where the reply is on top.

With top quoting you can read the entire thread/discourse in order by reading the latest email top to bottom, instead of scrolling up and down.

However, since most people and email clients default to bottom quoting, I’ll have to stick to that. The only thing worse than bottom quoting is inconsistent quoting.

Bottom quoting in emails

60$, or regional equivalent, for 6 games is not a bad discount. If you own even one of them already the price is halved. I’d say that qualifies as cheap.

Here in Norway you are legally required to attend a few sessions with financial advisors(a protected title here, so they will actually be qualified), before you are able to recieve your winnings.

The rough thoughts I have had about being in such a situation is to allocate maybe 10%-20% as “fuck you money” to have fun with, and the rest to follow all their advice with

I don’t know if it is the kind of “worst” you were thinking about, but in a previous helpdesk job I found a text file on a users desktop with a bunch of links. Asked the user what that was for, and they used it tonremember web sites. They were star struck when I showed them that bookmarks were a thing, and added their links as bookmarks for them to get started.

Yes, but it’s easier/less effort to grade that way which is why so many do it

The swedish button

Here in Norway we like to make fun of Swedes as a stupid people. The swedish button originated (at least the first context I knew of) as yanking the power cable from the socket as a way of turning off an applianve such as a Tv or computer, inatead of the intended way

One can also call other extreme/destructive ways of turning something off as the swedish button, such as hitting a tv with a hammer.

I love having firefox on my phone with ublock origin and DarkReader.

Facebook Container is also a nice addon that suppresses facebook trackers specifically, that are often embedded on all sites where there is some “log in/share/comment with facebook” element

Being able to set a timer for when to sleep and wake up

Another option related to the checksum solution is that camera manufactorers could implement a system on the physical camera where the raw file is tagged with some checksum/stamp and the same is stored on the device. In a situation where the validity of the photo/video in question, you could use the raw files and the physical device that captured it as the proof.

I’m sure we will see multiple attempts to solve this, whether it be adverserial “de-fake” AIs, some physical verification or something completely different. It will be interesting to see what work and not, and what may turn out to become the standard way of verification

I feel this is just a natural step in a new, growing platform/community.

Initially there is a smaller userbase tending to be more like minded/interested, and people will mostly behave.

As some get more comfortable and as more users join there will be a point where conflicting views and interests congregate while there may still be lacking people and tools to moderate the discussion, in addition to there being just the amount of content that it is difficult for bad faith content to be buried.

I think a lot of the fediverse is here now, where users are exposed to other users and content with either differing views or straight up intentional bad faith, whereas they previously were in heavily moderated communities or was only exposed to their section of content. Sometimes this might lead to good discussions, while other times it will devolve into rudeness or spite (especially with bad faith parties)

Eventually the amount of content may grow so that these incidents will be harder to notice, and/or more users will also bring more people and tools to aid in moderating said users and content
