They priced people out of the high end to do it... That's why. There's no console that comes close to a 4090 so you can't make games that really take advantage.
Yup... I was using it to occasionally fix a headless Windows computer in my house (basically my own, LAN based GeForce now using moonlight so I can play any Windows game from Linux ... Sunshine on the Windows side occasionally needs upgraded and/or something needs fixed so Moonlight itself wasn't enough).
Anyways, I needed to fix something one day, Moonlight wasn't working and TeamViewer locked me out for "commercial use" ... I ended up just upgrading the Windows computer from 11 Home to 11 Pro and configuring RDP (Remmina is the client I use on the Linux side).
It works way better, Moonlight for most things and RDP (built into the operating system) for when something breaks.
For anything where TeamViewer locking you out is a high risk of disruption, I wouldn't trust them to honor their non-commercial use commitment.
My group of friends struggles to get 6 players on at the same time and when it does, 6 players that are good enough FPS players to actually pull off the raid, that have time for the raid ...
Raids are basically not happening for me because of the player count requirements. I'm also not big on random teammates for stuff like that so ... it's a part of the game I have engaged with and it's interesting but it's not something I engage with at any regularity and I'd rather they put more effort into more interesting dungeons (or allowing smaller teams to viably do the raids and just using scaling if you have a full party) personally.
Hot take: As someone that's played every Destiny 2 expansion, all the dungeons, and some of the raids... The game has pretty basic mechanics and a ... rather uninteresting ... collection of worlds that most players only ever pass through.
The mechanics include: dodging, healing, dropping a barrier, jumping, sliding, grenades, melee attacks, supers, and throwing or depositing a ball ... and a few other things they rarely use; that covers like 90% of the content.
The open world STILL all these years later feels like a place where they just hide filler chores, not a destination or particularly fun. Even when we get a new planet, it often just feels like a reskin of an older planet that's been rearranged. Compare that to a game like Remnant II where EVERY planet feels very very different, has unique characteristics and quirks, and lots of distinct enemy types. Even the $10 DLCs for Remnant that just expand a world add more than Bungie tends to add in a $100 expansion in terms of new interesting encounters, enemy types, and level design.
The music, (now dated) graphics, gun design, some exceptional boss fights, and unlock grind (that gives you that same RuneScape grind "oooo I did it" feeling) carry pretty hard.
Bungie built something between a MMO and a co-op campaign game that ... lacks the scale of a MMO and (in many areas) lacks the level design of a co-op game. It's gotten better over the years ... but I'm not sure if I'll be picking up the next expansion personally.
FPS by far ... Most of the time I'm uninterested or minimally interested in a game's story. If I wanted to read a book or watch a movie... That's what I'd be doing.
If I'm playing a game it's normally because I want a challenge or something to do that doesn't involve being totally idle ... and also doesn't involve a ton of thinking.
We also have 50s, they have the same problem as 100s.
There are definitely places that will take the 50s and 100s but the number of times you can get burned by it is too high for my liking. I once was on vacation and a state park (I think it was) wouldn't take anything bigger than 20s for their admission fee.
I think I only had 50s so I think I ended up having a stranger help me out.
I would consider paying with cash again IF $100 bills weren't so much trouble.
It's hard to get a $100 bill. ATMs just don't spit them out. Many places refuse to take them. It's just hard to carry over $100 in cash without quickly having your wallet explode in size.
Back in the day $100 was like caring $1,000 now. You could get a lot done with $20 bills... You can burn through the majority of $100 just going to dinner and I also have no desire to manage all that cash at my house or hit up an ATM every other day.
Yeah, I've been thinking it might make sense for Lemmy post to be ... almost "tabbed" when they're link post. So if the link for several different posts is the same you end up with "tabs" for the other communities, that swap you between the titles, descriptions, and comments sections from those communities (and possible a "merged"/"all" tab that lets you see comments from all communities).
Probably a toggle somewhere for "just communities I'm subscribed to" vs "all communities my instance knows about" as well.
I'm not sure how exactly to make that look pretty, but I'm confident it can be done.
Speaking as the operator of u/Auto_Post_Bot@social.packetloss.gg ... I think it's kind of inevitable with the current design of lemmy for folks that browse "all" instead of subscribed ... and in some cases local.
As an example, Auto_Post_Bot posts news post to !zed@lemmy.world and !zed@programming.dev (the latter is recent per request from the admin over there, as they don't want centralized communities)... So if your instance is "subscribed" to both, it's going to be a "duplicate" post in the "all" feed.
It's very unlikely it's actually that bad. As someone that's actually done multiple full rewrites of some fairly large software projects ... incremental refactors could've got it done without completely shutting down new feature development for years.

It's a weird day when I'm happy the Republicans teamed up with progressives to stopped a bipartisan bill.
I'm pretty irritated with Sherrod Brown on this one for voting for it in the senate.
