VerseAndVermin,

I really like the art style and animations. I like the soft-touched looks to things and the unique characters.

VerseAndVermin,

The bastards barely started selling it a few years ago. I feel like some responsibility should exist. It isn’t a company that is going under, so it shouldn’t be able to just casually kill the devices tied-service it only recently sold.

VerseAndVermin,

I recently encountered a song I could only stream but not buy anywhere without DRM. Kinda wild because it has over 5 million YouTube views.

If anyone knows how the buy Slow Song by The Knocks, lmk.

VerseAndVermin,

Do you know if you can just pay the difference to upgrade from simple to unlimited? I’m pretty sure I will gobble the 300 searches but they claim that 99% of people do not.

VerseAndVermin,

Unless gaming and using multiple monitors. That was my experience after a couple of months. Fedora, a few weeks in, has made things lot smoother. Otherwise though, Mint was great and with further Wayland I could see me use it again.

VerseAndVermin,

Did you ever play the first Divinity?

VerseAndVermin,

I know celebrities aren’t always where we should focus but this guy exudes passion and I’m interested in this. Thanks, OP.

VerseAndVermin,

The recent London video from three weeks ago is approaching 400k views. Searching Fallout 4, “10 Hidden Mechanics in Fallout 4” from a day ago has 250k views.

I’m stoked for London but I think most people are just pumping it up from the show. Which is good because I just finished the show and I need more.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they assigned another studio to make another Fallout already.

VerseAndVermin,

As someone newer who has only used Ubuntu and Mint, what do you get elsewhere?

VerseAndVermin,

It looks more like multiple companies were needed to pin the individual. I don’t expect any company to not comply with legal requests. My understanding is this is why it’s important to know what information a company retains.

For my own use, I have used Proton just to mitigate being a source of ad info and to get better service. I’m not interesting enough to overthrow anything.

VerseAndVermin,

To be fair if the blockbuster superhits are actually good that would be fantastic. And focusing more on fewer titles could achieve that. As long as they aren’t just laying people off for the hell of it.

I can’t think of a way this is good. Large titles are already happening and we’re already getting good games in them.

I don’t think less small fish helps. It’s not creating some sort of brain drain to also make small titles. I suspect it’s your last sentence for a lot of people, just laying people off. Imagine making a killer title like Hi-Fi and then losing your job because a suit needs number go up.

VerseAndVermin,

Your positivity is appreciated, and your right. I really wish things would turn around. It’s gotten so silly to hear a company head talk about passion when they are vampires. Redfall vampires.

VerseAndVermin,

While true I don’t think these studios deaths are going to make that happen. I think what we are likely to see is other large studios start making those games. I’m betting Obsidian gets another crack at it.

I’m actually more interested in what other studios would do anyways. Fallout 4 is less interesting than New Vegas and Fallout 3 was, while still being very good and fun, not as depth filled as the two before.

I even still think Oblivion, while showing its smaller scale and less resources, was often more imaginative than Skyrim.

VerseAndVermin,

That seems weirder to me to be honest. Like the recent The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. Just call if Return to Moria and make a LotR badge for marketings sake. Same here.

I’ll accept Middle-Earth though.

VerseAndVermin,

I know little about it. What makes this stand out? I am guessing kernal level, but is there anything else to it?

VerseAndVermin,

All of my local gyms in my last 3 areas have been super pricy. Like $75-$150 a month. It may not seem high, but when you can get a franchise membership for $10-$30, it’s a hard sale.

I have had luck with specialty stuff though. Yoga is common to have discounts and decent pricing if that’s anyone’s jam.

I just learned an interesting piece of gaming history that most people might not know about. (Xbox Live Arcade on original Xbox)

I just learned that Xbox Live Arcade was a service that first started on the original Xbox, not Xbox 360. You had to order a disc online that would let you access the XBLA store. Here’s the wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Live_Arcade...

VerseAndVermin,

This is neat. I would have loved to have played some of these alongside what I did on the 360. Feels similar. Marble Blast Ultra, Geometry Wars, etc. I had no idea either.

VerseAndVermin,

I’m online right now. Love the game. :)

VerseAndVermin, (edited )

Are these the ones on display where they don’t have the actual originals because they accidently destroyed them or destroyed them in some academic process?

Pretty sure I’ve seen the recreation of these in person. They were super nice if it’s the same place.

VerseAndVermin,

Good app but they got bought and immediately upped their price by a lot from what I recall. It’s why I moved on. I think it was a more than 3x price hike in the US and as much as 5x elsewhere.

Shame because their desktop option is tied to that subscription. I couldn’t justify paying that much just to swap phone/desktop.

VerseAndVermin,

This looks fun. Thanks for the share.

VerseAndVermin,

I like the idea, but the execution looks cheap. I’m more open to middle earth games without fighting than with though so I won’t lament the IP yet. It often feels hamfisted to force it into the slashy-casty box.

VerseAndVermin,

You can grind for great rewards but they also are encouraging easy endeavors for a lot of points and any content is giving the 100% XP bonus which makes even questing feel nicer. There is a grind if you want true flame or one of the other 4 this-time-only items but that’s some people’s enjoyment.

The only ball dropping imo is the PTS debacle but they are giving the affected all the items, like a years endeavors, and a ton of other stuff that seems fair to me.

I think it can be hard for someone if they always feel the need to maximize anything they do, they probably just grind the whole time to earn millions of gold. I did a few grinds to get the loot high but doing dailies I had not tried yet has been fun since I get the 100%xp and an extra loot box for each.

Obviously just my experience though.

VerseAndVermin,

Is € 251.88 the estimated loss in revenue? I would like to say that it only makes sense if you assume the user will be on the platform either way, instead of just not paying and leaving. However, my experience with others makes me believe they will take whatever option to get to what they want.

I think it’s a situation for policy but, at least here in the US, our policy makers aren’t in the ethical or learned position to be effective.

What I’m saying is, the boat has holes and I’m concerned.
