  • Facebook/Meta (the owners of Instagram) have been extorting phone numbers and IDs from people for years. They don’t target everyone all at once, but a few hundred here, a few hundred there. I don’t know if they do it for all new accounts, but the practice is definitely not new.

    This is one of the many reasons why I stopped using their services.


  • I wasn’t even aware that it was an MMO.

    The entire galaxy is shared by everyone playing the game, in real time. You can encounter each other, fight, team up, or avoid each other, and your actions influence the state of the shared simulation. Definitely an MMO.

    What am I missing?

    The most recent thing you probably missed was the thargoid war, culminating in a battle with the titan that parked itself over Earth and took over the Sol system. You might compare it to a fantasy MMO raid, but at a much larger scale.

    Colonisation is coming soon.

















  • Yeah, they did. I wasn’t a fan of every part of Cyberpunk 2077, but I have to hand it to them: the gameplay was pretty solid compared to the mess I read about at launch. They even made the player controls responsive and reasonably nice to use. That alone was a huge improvement over The Witcher 3.

    (Geralt, I’ll never forgive you for all the times you stepped forward into danger when I pressed back to avoid it, or decided to fiddle about with a candle when there was something more important for your hands to do, or moved like a lumbering sloth instead of… well… a witcher.)

    I’m optimistic about this one.
