You forgot the VPN service they install without consent.

This is actually a question I'd like some opinions on!

I have a ton of headless servers running Debian that I just replace the sources.list for an upgrade. I imagine things are much more complicated when switches like X11 to Wayland happen, so all desktop environments get a wipe/install instead... But maybe I'm just making a lot of work for myself doing that!

If I'm given a choice between some fixes and no fixes, I'll take some. You know they'll dump the code like a hot potato once Sims 5 starts rolling out micro expansions.

throw in a microSD card slot and I'm sold

That would be Nintendo themselves. The fools recommend port forwarding everything to the Switch.

What are they going to write about next, the dangers of unsigned drivers and how easily they infect Windows 98? lol

I wonder how many people still directly connect to the internet without a gateway. It seems sensational to say "INSTANTLY INFECTED" and then tiny print (in a way that nobody connects to the internet since 1999). But maybe I'm just ignorant to how large a market still use direct connection.

Here you go. Reasons the hero shooter aspect is not working.

this is where you say "It failed because...."

My assertion was that it was an imperfect hero shooter among many hero shooters. The more competition, the harder it is to enter a game.

That seems like the only way you don't get an accurate profile is if the ad is completely unrelated to the page content.

I'm just curious why Valve looked at the oversaturated hero shooter market (seriously, we've had failures 8 years ago now) and said "Oh yeah, let's devote our resources there"

edit: Like, I seriously can't understand it. Not even Blizzard is coming out unscathed from Overwatch 2.

Any of them compatible with Winamp plugins? Because that's my reason for sticking to the past.

It's been too many years since I've dabbled in code licensing so I'm a bit in the dark as to what this implies, but if this results in a Linux fork that's capable of running Winamp plugins...

This might be a controversial take, but this was one of my favorite controllers:

It had the size of a Duke, so comfortable to hold with my large hands, and also felt really nice when the airflow feature was turned on. It had the really bad D-Pads though.

ah, a fellow Duke connoisseur!

Oh no doubt. It's a shame too. We saw the death of the mid-level developer long ago.

When I go to cons I try to buy any smaller self-published titles I see, but wish the market could support smaller devs while remaining consumer-friendly with a "coop" publisher. An entity that can eat a loss while still finding gems that would be lost to time if stuck on a digital store.

That isn't to say that smaller titles are dead. Currently I look out for stuff published by Soedesco, GS2 Games, Team17, Microids, EastAsiaSoft, etc etc.

Is this bell curve change a recent thing? Because it looks to be the same ratio to me based on box office Pre-COVID.

It's funny how much survivorship bias we have. Movies, Music, Games. It's so easy to forget how bad some previous stuff was.

I wish we had more small publishers. It's so rare to go into a store now and see a $20-$40 title from some rando. Cheap enough that I can go "Oh, that's interesting looking I'll grab it". Limited Run is great and all, but there's no magic when you pre-order something 8 months out.

I'm guessing ease of installation/use.
