Had a good playthrough of Dishonoured 2 and Death of the Outsider on my Deck. They run extremely well on the Steam Deck and I found a control layout that I liked.
This. Twitter is now under ownership and control of a spoiled fascist richboy and this is absolutely 100% transparently clear. This is how the platform is now and it is not going to change. Twitter as we knew it is gone. It's dead and not coming back. Move the hell on, people, please. Stop supporting this absolutely wretched waste of oxygen.
You can search my full legal (dead)name online and find absolutely nothing. Not a single picture, mention, or anything even remotely close or even in the same vicinity as me.
Obviously that's not a benefit to everyone but it is to me and has been achieved by maintaining some level of scrutiny over the information I make available.
I stopped playing ESO years ago after around 10,000 hours of playtime. It's nice (or perhaps unsurprising) to hear that they still haven't addressed how badly they messed up the story structure and pacing. Rather than have the expansions be an accessory to the main story and tutorial - they acted as replacements. A game design choice I'm 99.9% sure was made by management and not by any actual dev team. It was a confusing, convoluted mess with only a few expansions but I can't imagine how bad it is now with even more.
I cannot trust any publication that "reviews" a product like this without taking at least a little time to go over the legitimately harmful business practices against the customer.
Vancouver resident here. A great deal of the city of Vancouver and surrounding Lower Mainland are suburbs. The mixed-zoned areas tend to be some of the most expensive and have been gentrified to hell or are in the process of doing so.
Vancouver also has some of the worst traffic in Canada (and North America, if I remember right) and most of the buses here get stuck in gridlock traffic and are frequently late. Our passenger train system, the SkyTrain, is our best option but it is limited in where it has stations and Vancouver's immense wealth disparity and poor treatment of homeless often leaves the SkyTrain in a state of filth or feeling unsafe.
I've lived here all my life and will likely have to leave soon. Vancouver is not a livable city by any means; it's one of the most expensive places to live in North America. This is a very beautiful city with many amazing places to see and visit but it has a lot of darkness and suffering under that thin surface and less than nothing is being done about it. For every beautiful tourist destination there are numerous streets full of homeless camps, littered with feces, and drug addicts stumbling around without any help.
People with lots of money want even more money. Less employees means less money that has to be paid out which means more money in the short term. Makes line go up for a while. Makes suits happy.
Technically not free if you have to have a paid sub in order to access them. In that case it's a paid trial with the opportunity to pay even more. Which sounds even worse for Spotify.
15 hours/month is... pretty awful. An avid reader (or listener, in this case) will chew through that in no time at all.
Another thing that concerns me is payouts. Spotify is notorious for having atrocious payouts to creators. I wonder how this carries over to their audiobook offerings.
Yup. Have family who work in BC's medical field and this is becoming increasingly common. Can't afford treatment? No? Have you considered dying instead? MAID is not the problem, though; not entirely at least. Our medical infrastructure and the offices that govern it are rotten to the core. We have amazing medical staff doing their absolute best while trying to work within a system that is being actively sabotaged from above.
I think we're starting to see the beginning of YouTube's end. The algorithm is actively choking the life out of the platform, they're forcing viewers to pay fees that seem to keep getting bigger and bigger, and they're making life miserable for creators while also paying them less and less.
Once another platform comes along that ticks enough boxes to satisfy people then YouTube will be absolutely screwed. The only reason we all use that wretched site is because there is no viable alternative. More and more creators are moving to premium platforms like Nebula that offer better deals for viewers and creators alike. I'm likely to jump ship myself once more people I watch also join up.
You can hit the big round turn-based button in bottom right of your HUD to activate turn mode at any time, even outside combat. This effectively pauses the game. The game even makes a sound effect of a clock slowing down and stopping.
Can't say I disagree. Lemmy has become many of the things I disliked about Reddit and thus I have basically stopped using it almost entirely. I poke around Beehaw maybe once a week or so and I haven't touched my other accounts at all. I loved the migration away from Reddit. I did not love that people thought the solution was to basically clone Reddit, warts and all.
Even busy urban centres here in North America are struggling to add basic bike infrastructure and transit options, let alone major bicycle networks and pathways. NIMBYism and self-centred drivers often axe these projects before they even break ground. Once you get outside of dense urban cores then you barely even see things like sidewalks for pedestrians and certainly not even the most basic of bicycle gutters.
The damage that car-centric urban planning has done to North America is absolutely catastrophic and there is still enormous resistance to altering anything even on a basic level. Fixing such poor urban design is going to take a lot of work and money and even putting in basic things like accessible sidewalks is constantly being fought against.
