Agreed, definitely excited to see what the revised tech tree does to the initial stage of a playthrough as well. This seems like a great way to make the game feel fresh and change up a player's approach.
I hadn't kept up with Factorio much over the last little while but I've always appreciated how great the Friday Facts are.
Not surprised by the overall theme of the expansion but I didn't expect a different tech tree for "dlc playthroughs". I think if it's reshuffled correctly, it could really help give even the initial part of a playthrough a fresh feel and change up some of my usual strategies. Looking forward to reading about more of the details over the next year.
So I'm understanding you correctly then. Let's do nothing and hope things get better on their own.
Thankfully, we don't need to agree on this, but personally, I prefer taking active steps to resolving our problems instead of just sitting back and watching them get worse.
You do realize he can charge absolutely any price he wants for a product he created right? He doesn't have to even offer an ad-supported version, but he's decided to give the user the choice. If someone wants to use his app for free, they can. And if they don't agree with his model, they can just not use the app. It's really not a predatory practice.
What do you propose we do then, especially as a first step measure? Right now it seems like you're arguing that doing nothing would be better. If we don't try any new measures, the problem won't just go away.
I mean, yeah, obviously the dev would rather people pay the subscription when some of the Ultra features require server work and/or continued costs (translation, OCR, etc.).
Developing Sync is his full time job, which is why it initially shipped without a lifetime tier. People voiced their opinion and the dev listened by adding the lifetime option and the ad free option. If you don't like the pricing, use a different app. Nobody is forcing you to use Sync. LJ doesn't owe you the app for free (or any price outside of what he feels is fair).
At least in NA, it's either through Nestle facilities or via community recycling facilities. Each order comes with bags for either mail-in (red bags), recycling bin (green bags), or store drop off (I believe black bags).
You might have a point if it was the only way to access Lemmy but it's far from the only app available so I really fail to see how the prices are "abusive".
Nobody is forcing you to use Sync, or even to pay for any of the subscriptions/one-time purchases.
Omg I remember seeing this was being remade but I've purposely not looked at anything beyond that. So excited to give this a try, it was one of the 4 or 5 games I'd play non stop in rotation (partly because I was bad at video games as a kid (not that I'm much better now, I just have less excuses)).
In case anyone didn't want to open the article, the feature is improved image quality due to AMD's FSR2 on PlayStation being used over 2x MSAA on Xbox.
There's also a slightly different gamma on PlayStation, combined with the different anti-alliasing it results in cleaner looking frames. The article has side by side comparisons as well.
I would normally be inclined to agree but this isn't one of those "omg I just had the most intelligent conversation with my 4-yo today".
It's clearly someone sharing their hobby/job with their niece, and what better way to do that than by including them in a practical aspect. It also literally says they "helped her as she's 4 years old".
You commenting is only bringing more attention to the post by increasing the comment count so maybe reevaluate your approach in the future if you're so against wholesome content.
What brand is that water reservoir/bowl? I haven't gotten one yet because I don't like how the ones I'd seen all just look like a cheap plastic box but I really like the look of the one you have.
Adding to that, LJ is also aiming to work on this app full-time so I think that greatly impacted his calculation on what the price points should be. Imo the prices are quite reasonable for what is my most used app outside of messaging/emails.
Thank you so much for the detailed guide. I finally got around to finishing the setup yesterday but only had time for a very short raid to test everything out. Definitely looking forward to playing around some more, seems like nearly all my annoyances with Tarkov are mitigated by the various mods you listed (especially KMC). I understand why it's impossible but private coop would really make this perfect.
Personally I'm the opposite. I only have so much control over my environment in the office, but at home I'm able to build an environment that's way more productive for my brain. I'll still go into the office as required (usually about a day every week or two) but I literally have to plan my workload around those days since I know I'll be way less productive.
Do you have a guide or something to reference to setup EFT Single Player as you've described? I haven't played in a long time (last time was right around when the first versions of the SP mod was made public) because I got fed up with the online experience. I'd love to jump back in to SP eventually to see what's changed, I definitely miss the EFT gameplay.
