For better or worse, there’s not a lot of right wing stuff that makes it into the positive on votes.

That is for the better.

Would be fine as an option that could be enabled, especially for larger communities, but an instance run by a single person wouldn’t be able to host communities if it was a built in requirement for all communities.

Calm down, I just have a different preference than you.

“Everyone else should be subjected to my preferences” is also a child’s argument.

If i wanted a Mac I would buy one. They are great for people who like them, but their extremely integrated environment is used to justify exclusive software and hardware requirements that I don’t want to be limited to. Windows forcing an online account is aping Apple and I hate it.

My personal phone is not linked to my computer. My work computer will never be linked to my work computer because I don’t have a work provided mobile phone. I do expect this new menu to nag the shit out of me to link a phone based on prior Windows ‘features’.

I don’t use windows messages.

I see fewer icons in the preview image than I see on the start menu now.

This is far less useful than the existing menu, which is less useful than the windows 7 menu. This is like how they hid half the things I used on the right click menu under the ‘show more’ option.

Just against pointless change.

I’ll be over here hating then.

This is the Window 8 menu bullshit all over again.

This is literally all the steps.

While yes, it does sound like that, if Carpenter and the movie producers are involved the odds of it being a decent game and not just a reskinned cash grab are higher.

Tim Walz is the person who actually cares about rural folks that Trump was pretending to be. Of course Walz is known for helping regular middle class folk by primiting green energy, while Trump focused on the coal miners who are small in number who were clinging to a dying pollution causing fossil fuel undustry.

The movement is wonky compared to modern games, and unless you are wanting to do real time DMing it isn’t worth it in my opinion.

It was absolutely fantastic. A full campaign plus all of the DM tools and the ability to run shared servers for people to join and play together!

I really wish they included similar real time DM tools to BG3.

Always a great reminder to focus on the basics. In addition to hygiene and cooking, there are a lot of little things like basic repair by tightening screws, cleaning surfaces, and upkeep on utensils and other things that are used regularly that are great to pass on if you know how. While my parents did teach those things when asked, they were extremely busy and didn’t always volunteer the non-basic stuff and I didn’t know to ask.

Thank you for the reminder, @DaddysLittleSlut@lemmy.world

My question is, am I really responsible if someone kidnaps her between getting off the Uber and getting into our apartment complex?

Only if you were involved in the kidnapping, like paying them to do it.

Is she trying to guilt trip me into thinkg her anger is justified or am I really a horrible, kidnap-facillitating bad person for missing a few texts?

She is trying to guilt trip you for missing her text by using emotionally ever the top hyperbole which is not gaslighting. Gaslighting requires intentionally lying about something that did not happen to make you question your own experience.

SCOTUS just ruled that US presidents have the divine right of kings.

I haven’t experienced it, but hear good things about the community.

The player base was always going to decline significantly.

It doesn’t have the same kind of slow grind and wide open maps with tonnes of things to interact with that kept up the populations of a game like WoW or Overwatch, so it was going to naturally decline anyway as most people got their fill of the game play and move on to the next game. Anything that is comparable either had a ton of content that was drip fed or has random loot boxes to keep people playing. This game lets you earn enough to play even the highest levels of play fairly quickly, with getting everything taking a bit longer.

The remaining population is actually pretty high for this kind of game, and it is far from dying. I play randoms when friends aren’t on even though I have unlocked all the upgrades to earn myself medals, but also to help out the other players because the game does promote team play even with all the accidental team kills. I never have to wait when there are more than 1,000 players on a planet, and the there are often several planets with several thousand even when people aren’t grouped up for major orders.

The community is engaged and while there will certainly be more of a decline as time passes, I wouldn’t be surprised if the game gets a significant bump in player activity (old players coming back) when they introduce the next faction. Probably not double whatever population is there when it hits, but maybe 50% increase as people come to check out the new content. I think the rapid release was their original plan to keep the player base going and I’m happy they slowed down to address bugs and do quality of life improvements for a bit.

This game also has the most friendly, or at least least antagonistic, player base I have ever experienced in an online game. Although most random games don’t have anyone speak up unless I do first, people help each other out, attempt to get everyone out, and there is often hugs on the ship after extraction. I have only had one player grief in dozens of random games and one match had someone who was rude. Far, far fewer negative experiences than any other game I’ve played.

It may get down to 3% of the highest number of players and will still be alive and kicking for those that do enjoy the game play.

Is anything other than sexting referred to as inappropriate when a minor is involved?

They probably saved 30 billion through sales and got even more worth out of finding the games they really enjoy that they may have never even tried without the sales.

I can confidently say that I spend less per year on games now than 25 years ago, very rarely regret a purchase, and don’t bother with refunds (which I hear are easy) because if I buy three games for cheap and spend all my time on one then I got my money’s worth.

Hell, I spend less each year than my wife spends on switch games and get way more entertainment out of it.

Like early Netflix before they all decided they would make their own shitty streaming services and didn’t renew contracts.
