Okay, fair enough, Fo76 was an unmitigated disaster. But what were you expecting from Starfield, exactly?

Honestly, I’m amazed by the hatedom for Starfield. It’s … a Bethesda game (and it’s actually better at being a Bethesda game than Fo4). I’m not sure what people seem to have expected?

As someone with a competitive sports background (swimming), yeah, no. This shit would get you disqualified and, if repeated, banned from competition for life in most sports. It’s not a necessary part of any competition.

Kindergarten. But my parents never really cared. I was told “know your audience” not “don’t say that”.

Imagine having that little understanding of how and why people enjoy modding their games.

The engine is what allows the game to have a thriving modding community already.

I know it is, developers can block downloads unless the user is signed into a Steam account that owns the game. But as an end-user that’s distinction without difference.

That’s even worse though. Plenty of games (e.g. Stellaris and RimWorld) are also available on platforms like GOG or, ugh, Epic. But if you want to use mods and you bought the game on any platform other than Steam it’s fuck you.

You’ve just described Hexbear. :b

The current system is entirely sustainable. It does need reforms, but a regulated market economy combined with strong social welfare programmes is the best economic system we’ve come up with so far, by a very large margin. Planned economies were attempted, they universally failed.

Correct, all diminutives are neuter in German. In this instance the base word is die Magd (historically the maiden, nowadays the maid), which is grammatically female.

Which they technically didn’t. I’m sure Nvidia has a legal team that vetted their solution, they certainly have the money for it. At this point the “protection” against the proprietary driver is just anti-consumer.

31, Germany, I can’t drive at all. City kid.

I don’t need to. iPhones are pretty but every time I’ve been forced to use one I wanted to pull my hair out, I know they’re vaunted for being easy to use but I find them incredibly unintuitive, and I need help to do basically anything. MacOS is mostly Fine™ (with that being said - no window snapping? really?!), but they have no laptops with a number pad on the keyboard, and even if they did, they don’t have matte display options so I couldn’t comfortably use the damn thing anyway. It’s a laptop, I’m not going to use it exclusively in darkened rooms with the lights turned off.

I have to use O2’s 5G (using a landline would be much slower) and there’s no data cap on it. Costs €35/month, around the same as a regular landline contract. I think they’d cry foul if I tried using that SIM in a phone though.

Not yet. It’s the inevitable outcome of tolerating Nazis on your platform but it takes time, especially with a userbase as large as Twitter’s.

Tutanota, an email service.

Almost certainly both. And people who made an account but who didn’t stick around.
