That whole survival crafting genre seems very hit or miss to me, and I’ve noticed that people liking one game in the genre is a very poor predictor of whether they’ll like another one. Subnautica, Don’t Starve, Minecraft, and Ark are all theoretically the same genre but very different games.

However I’ve also seen a lot of people say that Subnautica was the one that clicked for them. I think the story and progression was big for a lot of people.

I thought the people fired were executives, not creatives.

Edit: I also don’t see how a boycott helps the actual people working on the game.

I did not find it that difficult, but there was a lot of up front homework to make sure you had a compatible hardware configuration due to needing hardware which was supported by the limited number of Mac configurations. I recall running into a problem where I wasn’t getting a picture on my monitor and I could not figure out why since my video card was supported and the drivers were ok. The problem as it turned out? I had my monitor connected via DVI and macs had never supported DVI so there were no drivers. Once the install was done, it pretty much Just Worked. Linux installs are pretty easy these days but debugging problems can be very difficult. The hard part of the hackintosh was keeping up with upgrades, since they needed to be done manually (due to potentially breaking things).

I do think that bluesky has a ton of momentum right now and is a viable alternative. But the thing about microblogging sites is that if the specific people you want to follow aren’t on them, there’s not really a substitute. I know I’ve heard people say that, for example, a lot of japanese game developers are still primarily on twitter (I’ve never been a twitter/bsky enjoyer so I can’t speak to it personally).

Abandoned mine several years ago. Kind of a shame, they were a good option for a while for people who weren’t windows fans but didn’t want to run linux full time. Apple just doesn’t really have any offerings for people who want a desktop that’s upgradeable, but don’t want to drop the money on a Mac Pro.

Yep.

The point being that it wouldn’t be “this guy is banned from the park,” it would be “please alert the police if you see him.”

As someone who frequently shops on their bike, lack of handles on paper bags can be the difference between me being able to bring things home or not. I can hang a plastic bag off of the handle bars or over my shoulder if I need to. A paper bag without handles is going to leave me pretty screwed if I don’t currently have panniers with me.

I’d love to see another more standard turn based FF, but people also have to realize that the last pure turn based game was X in 2001. FF changing shit with every game is what FF does.

I mean you can also tell this is fake because that would be assault.

TBH I think they’re right. It has zero chance to result in removal. It has zero chance of passing either house of congress. It just ends up being an ineffective gesture. Save it for when you have some chance of actually changing something.

Shit who’s this vputin guy in our group chat?

They’re pretty common on raw denim, especially if it’s unsanforized (i.e. not preshrunk). It’s basically because when jeans stretch and shrink zippers can look weird (have you ever gotten that weird pants boner around the zipper?). They also have a fade pattern that’s pretty classic. I dont think they’re any less convenient than a zipper once they’re broken in and you’re used to them.

I like the disgaea series not only because of the deep systems involved, but also just because gameplay is so snappy. So many SRPGs are slow as molasses in terms of interface. I also really enjoyed Unicorn Overlord recently.

It may very well be true that people hold contradictory views, either because different groups of people are being conflated into one, or because many people don’t examine their views very closely. But I don’t think this article makes the case strongly at all.

A) I don’t think this is a new phenomenon at all

B) I don’t think they’ve provided any evidence that single women quitting the dating market is because of this.

Also has there ever been a point in time where the majority of single people don’t think that dating sucks?

I’m pretty sure that actually doing this would violate their medical licensing, regardless of VA rules.

You might be surprised by how vigorously people will argue against this point.

It’s called SAFe and it’s an art form.

Means we change requirements mid-sprint, right?
