As someone originally from Hungary: as a kid I was taught I should walk on the left (if there is no pavement), so I could see the cars I’d be sharing the side of the road with. So technically it should all be reversed everywhere.
Also there is no consistent walking side tendency anywhere, and just walking to/through the shops you’d know that. Brits might do a queue but see if you can predict which side they’ll be walking on, and it’s no different elsewhere.
Not OP, but I’ll answer from my own perspective. Note that Discord terminology can be a bit weird, since a server is just a unique shared group space, but hopefully makes sense.
So you can:
And key thing is: all very easy to get started with, whether you’re just wanting to join a server, or start an entire community.
Big deal for my uses currently is voice chat and screen share in one place, while still being able to organise stuff into separate channels, pin messages in them, etc.
I think right now if I had to replace it, assuming I could get the people I interact with off (which is either 20 or 1500 people, depending on how much I’d want to carry with me), it’d have to be a mix of Matrix/Stoat and probably Steam’s built-in features. Maybe a classic forum. That is, if I wanted to have all the features I use. I could do with less, but it’s frustrating.
I think the alternatives will get there eventually, self-hosted even, but self-hosting also has a hardware cost.
That said, I really don’t know why software stuff was ever moved on discord. My uses are gaming and university community-related.
Unfortunately it seems very much a mixed bag. For some the more recent patches did a lot, for others they broke things.
(Sadly on Windows) The same happened to me. Decent performance around release, later updates messed it all up. That said I think the latest update did make it run better than ever on my machine, but obviously YMMV.
I do think they’re working on it, they just seem to be lost? It should be a big deal for Capcom if Monster Hunter loses popularity due to performance.
Ok, I genuinely might be reading this wrong and the other guy won’t communicate, so:
The way I read that is “we will have a button that’s there that you can click to activate an AI feature” (though it’s unclear if that’s actually what it’ll be like when finalised). And yeah, I’d rather that was an extension or something I’d go and toggle on if I wanted. That said, I also don’t consider that to be “on by default”.
And before anyone misunderstands more, I hate the addition of AI in everything and don’t think Firefox should do this. That’s not the point I’m arguing.
I mean it seems to me the opt-in part is when they say it will be opt-in by it potentially being a button on the toolbar. Though the dev acknowledges not everyone will see that as opt-in.

I can understand why people have issues with that, but let’s at least keep criticisms to what they’ve actually said?
It’s only fair the logs (or Ewoks) also get the Warhammer treatment.
Some potential options:
Though let’s be honest: even with all that, the Ewoks probably would’ve been one of the countless species wiped out during the Great Crusade. 40k does have some argument for having only the most over the top shit existing.
Yeah, fuck those poor old women, they’re religious…
Idk, regardless of my thoughts on religion and organised religion especially, I can see that these people are human. They seem to be oppressed and haven’t done anything to deserve that. We should be able to feel sympathy for them, and appreciate that their story being shared is the attention they need to have extra protection at the very least.
I feel like this should be an official EU petition like Stop Killing Games as well. Have lawmakers actually tell payment processors that they have no right to deny legal transactions (not just fictional content, but any legal transaction).
Phineas Gage if anyone wants to look the case up. Classic psychology and neurology tale.
Of course this happened before modern scientific standards and procedures were mainstream, so take everything with a grain of salt.
This seems like it fits more of a management/strategy type vibe to me.
Maybe you hear news of the 10 greatest knights of the realm coming to save you. But you don’t know what they’re great at and you only have a limited amount of instructions to give them.
You could have the first knight leave hints by telling him to leave marks in specific places. But he might be the best at combat and would be best sent against some of the other monsters guarding the path. You just don’t have the information.
But honestly, I’m not sure if that makes a player feel trapped. They have power to change things. Maybe you steadily take away that power? I’m just not sure how.
Very interesting question though.
I disagree. All our current storage methods still degrade, not to mention they almost all rely on technology to be read.
If nothing happens, sure. We can keep things preserved, know how to access the data from them, make copies as needed, etc., but that would’ve applied to the Library of Alexandria.
Most, if not all (afaik) MySpace profiles are gone. We can archive all of Facebook and Instagram, but thousands of years is a long time to not have accidents, mistakes, war or even natural degradation destroy some or all of the data carriers.
Yeah… Would be smart. So Labour, who are trying to be the Tories but from 5-10 years ago, will not do it. Gotta court those undecided centre-right and right-wing voters: the people who still believe in Brexit, even though polls show that’s definitely not a majority.
Sigh.
If Deep Rock Galactic counts, then Monster Hunter games should as well. The hub is usually a bar/restaurant with food, drinking, and an arm wrestling mini game. You can also randomly cook meat out in the field or go to hot springs.
Many other games do have bars, but without any real interaction. Lego games and Borderlands come to mind.
Stardew Valley has cutscenes at the bar and you can play a mini game there, but not quite as interactively as DRG.
That’s all I can think of right now. It feels like Baldur’s Gate 3 or Saints Row should also have something similar to Stardew at least, but I can’t remember how much you can do in those bars. Same with MMOs I haven’t played in a while like Runescape. I’m sure if I mention them someone else will know though.
As a bonus: with modding, Lethal Company can have a casino with a bar you can get drinks at.
Late and I cannot possibly read everything here, but I’ll come back to it as well.
And just to do some due diligence:
Very space- and RTS-themed, but that’s what got my attention at the time. And they were having their golden age. Also I was very young in the 90s, so that’s all I have.
I’m not entirely sure what scene I would’ve said had me similar when I could still more surely remember those first years. Possibly a game I’ve forgotten since. Maybe one of the Bionicle Mata Nui Games or some other big online game. Or Imperium Galactica 2.
But a moment that will always stick with me is from the first Homeworld game: when you return from your first hyperspace voyage. That entire game was epic, including the intro sequence, but it’s that sequence that I think can stand forever as a masterpiece.
Do you have any sources for this? I tried to look into it, but I can’t find them making any political statements and they seem to be mostly centred in Cyprus, so how much do they actually support Russia besides being (originally?) Russian and thus at risk if speaking out against Putin?
I think it adds to the contemporary symbolism.
Not even just that. I can’t speak for Edinburgh, but in the area I live in in Glasgow we’ve had random fireworks go off during the day for weeks leading up to Guy Fawkes. One big explosion every now and then. One day, still bright out, I was walking home and almost hit the deck because one went off so close to me out of nowhere.
After Guy Fawkes it has been less frequent, but still happens, at very odd times. You can even check news and see that it’s been an issue for a while. E.g.: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0j87zneq4vo
It stresses me out a bit, and I spend most of my time in my own home, with decent soundproofing. And I’m not a sensitive endangered animal.
Just to nerd out a bit: I think this is justified. He has nanomachines, son. His eyesight is probably perfect, but he adopts a different persona most of the time. He’s a puppeteer and a politician most of the time.
This is when he gets his actual boss theme lyrics too and he finally treats you as an actual fight. No more metal gear, no more speeches. You get the treatment of an equal rival.
Or: Rising Revengeance might like symbolism, but it prefers the subtlety of a giant boulder and memes, and him taking off his glasses just fits the rule of cool.
