There was some discussion of this not long ago: https://feddit.uk/post/24412286

@nutomic@lemmy.ml linked this GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2345

Yeah, I was utterly shocked at the price. £70 to download or £56 on disk.

The last Assassins Creed I played was Odyssey and that was well after release so I paid a far more reasonable £30 or so.

Nano is fine. But Micro is a worthwhile upgrade: https://micro-editor.github.io/

It’s a free to play game, is anyone really surprised they intend to add microtransactions?

I recommend reading the source rather than blog spam: https://insider-gaming.com/ea-adds-microtransactions-to-skates-closed-alpha/

Again, I’m not saying Linux is bad or even at fault for these issues, but these issues exist and I it’s valid that some people don’t wanna deal with it.

You don’t know that these things issues exist because you’ve never tried it.

You even admit at times you’re too lazy to even set these things up.

If you have a highly customised setup you need to accept some responsibility for it and not expect others to test it for you.

This really just shows how inefficient human communication is.

This could have been done with a single email:

Hi,

I’m looking to book a wedding ceremony and reception at your hotel on Saturday 16th March.

Ideally the ceremony will be outside but may need alternative indoor accommodation in case of inclement weather.

The ceremony will have 75 guests, two of whom require wheelchair accessible spaces.

150 guests will attend the dinner, ideally seated on 15 tables of 10. Can you let us know your catering options?

300 guests will attend the even reception. Can you accommodate this?

Thanks,

They’re completely irrelevant to the average person.

If you want absolute perfection then sure, stick with Chrome but implying Firefox on GrapheneOS is insecure is misinformation.

Pretty sure it’s 3rd April

Then why do you want to see it broken up? Monopoly seemed a pretty reasonable assumption.

Steam is hardly a monopoly.

There are plenty of successfully competing stores. The only real thing Steam has going for it is network effect that every gamer has an account therefore it’s decent for socialising, but even that is being challenged by Discord and a multitude of others.

GamePass is probably the closest we’re seeing to a potential monopoly. The purchase of activation should never have been permitted.

If everyone puts wind turbines on the balconies they might end up blowing the building over

Bevy is damn impressive. I can understand why it’s not suitable for large projects yet but for anyone tinkering or projects willing to adapt to a rapidly iterate ecosystem is well worth a look.

It’s easy to gamble if money isn’t yours.

To my knowledge Musk is gambling with his own money, not hedge fund capital or something.

If your day to day survival depends on every dollar, then you don’t have the freedom to dick around with investments.

But, yes, this is correct. If you’re extremely wealthy then you can keep gambling. If you fail you still have a million other chances. So you’re kind of guaranteed to succeed eventually.

Whereas the common person has one chance. If they fail that’s it.

In fairness he was able to recognise which companies to buy

I think this is just survivorship bias. There are millions of wealthy individuals investing in companies every single day. Occasionally these gambles pay off and make people extremely wealthy.

Most of the time the people who succeed just spend their incredibe wealth and live a quiet happy life.

But there are others who crave attention. These individuals bully their way into prestigious positions and pretend that they’re leading the company.

Elon is that kind of person. He started wealthy, bet his money on companies that succeeded. Then took the CEO role so he would get credit for the companys’ successes.

If ever people dare stop paying attention to him he’ll do something drastic to recapture the spotlight on.

He’s the kind of person who will stand on stage and do a nazi salute just because he wants you to look at him.

Is it definitely the MP3 format at fault here? Was your MP3 from an official source or could it have been from a faulty source or improperly transcoded?

The game itself is cheaper than that. I suspect they chose to pay for a deluxe edition

Oh, OK that’s actually a bit more interesting. Does the combat system mean you can then invade their settlement and/or fight to control resources? If there were diplomacy mechanics as well it might interest me but I’m not overly interested in competitive mechanics in a city builder. I’d rather just relax and build an awesome community.

What is the clock deadline you’re racing against? That’s a very strange mechanic for a city builder.

From the trailer it looks really great but I’m very reluctant to purchase anything in early access
