I don’t get why? It’s a great game

I’m a sub to their services and use it for travel and getting UK shows on BBC that don’t come to the US. Works great and no complaints.

It’s a fun game but an ultra competitive market. Either show you’re in it for the long haul or most players will never give you a chance.

I don’t think folks expect to restart when the pre-order perk is 3-days early access… But we live in a world with day one patches on every single game too 🙃

If they were actually concerned about it, Valve could have done real NDA’s and/or plastered the build info and user name on-screen like most game tests. They’ve done it in the past so I assume this was a calculated risk/choice.

Worked for Blizzard before all the Xbox layoffs… The confusing actions are mainly because the gaming division is now it’s own company within Microsoft and responsible for its budget and making revenue for the first time in XBOX’s history. The leadership level all got promotions and new titles, they shared new org charts to everyone, and then the layoffs and closures began almost immediately. It’s no longer about making their user base grow but about making money so expect their games everywhere and to see Game Pass lose features and raise prices.

I moved my email to Hey and ProtonMail so am using their apps. Doing that allowed me to push reset on what goes to each address and how I sort/filter/etc. Gmail is now my junkbox like Yahoo was forever ago.

I was paying for it at a legacy price still but that gets wiped out with this I guess. Canceled.

It’s mostly a problem with SMS. But yeah it would be awesome if they’d meet Android halfway and adopt some of the RCS stuff

Images get compressed and sent super tiny. Replies to specific texts start entirely new message threads. If someone leaves the group the whole convo stops and your in an empty new message history. Reactions come through as text replies and don’t specify which message it was in reference to. Etc…

If you are in a friend group that does group messages then maybe. It can get pretty annoying

That’s partly because of actions taken by various governments. Who knows what tech would look like today if Microsoft from the 90s forced us all into Internet Explorer.

Also, more successful examples would be Google. They have done this very thing several times but then keep messing it up lol

I think of “retro” as pixel-based and early 3D games that were sorta killed during the PS1/Saturn/N64 era.

Once we get into more advanced 3D / Polygonal games (PS2/GameCube/Xbox), it’s a different era; but it’s not due to the visual shift alone, but the design philosophy and craft/code itself. I would consider them “modern” and point to series like Zelda as an example.

Games like WindWaker feel more connected to Breath of the Wild than it does to Link to the Past or even Ocarina of Time. And I think the same goes for series like Mario, Metal Gear, and so on.

I was initially shocked but that’s like 4 months away from the initial launch. I’m fine with that.

The only way the Fediverse gets ready is by going thru the growing pains that Reddit had to when we all fled from Digg. It also wasn’t ready then but the community stepped up and became mods and built apps and made it awesome. We will do it again… and this time it’ll be distributed and much harder for one person to screw over all of us

I do but try to remind myself that “wasting my time” is a concept that capitalism has forced on us bc they want us to feel guilty when not productive.

wefwef.app is a PWA (progressive web app). Just save the site to your Home Screen and it’ll act like an app but be run by your default browser

Also is a great way to browse on the desktop. I have it open on the sidebar for Edge most of the day at work and do the same on SigmaOS while at home

Came here to say this! It’s great as a second unit and is always in my backpack or luggage when traveling
