It's hard to get across "no really, I find predictability comforting and/or am not willing to share the personal projects I fill my time with for various reasons."
I suspect patient gamers have held off on this one given its relatively high system requirements, need for patches to improve performance, and super recent expansion. I'm sure you're right, but speaking for myself, it's not on my to-play list for at least another year. (Only mentioning it since you seem surprised)
This. They should be going through insurance for this.
Of course, the insurance rates would rise, and they'd still be passing on that increase to the residents, but residents would be slightly less bitchy about it since the extra layers of opacity would make it seem like "just more of the usual greed and inflation."
The fact that they even tried to pretend it wasn't retroactive because they didn't charge for old install counts. Like, does it charge games that were released under different terms? Yes? Then it's retroactive!
I'm glad you had fun with it. Do accept that my inability to have fun with it doesn't negate any of the enjoyment you got out of it. Respectfully, something this long instructing me of all the ways I must have played it wrong if I didn't enjoy it as much as you comes off as a little condescending. I'm sure it wasn't your intent, but like... I know I have the option to put it down or skip things. I know I can pay off bounties. I was there, these systems and ideas are not hard to find. But for me, the fact that I'm allowed to skip engaging with a system or put it down before I see all the devs put there for me to see is the opposite of a selling point.
For me, it's like I ordered a meal at a favorite restaurant, the plate came out with portions three times larger than expected and gorgeously plated but with so little seasoning I couldn't stomach it. Saying "you don't have to eat it all" and "there's salt on the table" doesn't make it a good meal.
We find different things fun, and that's okay. May we both have a good time with Mirage.
AC Odyssey was the first one in the entire series I couldn't push myself to finish. I used to love just bumping around eliminating every single map icon, but Odyssey was way, way too big, and having my zen ruined by bounty hunters all the time was exhausting.
I heard Valhalla was even worse. It was the first one I skipped after playing each one since the original (even some of the 2D ones).
Are you capable of checking the context of a statement before replying to it? The quality of the advice was not at issue. You asked why the person was hostile. Being an asshole begets hostility.
Couldn't possibly be because that person is acting like it's our fault we're too weak to have it too with the dismissive "bub" and the cry to "get your shit together."
I got my first one of these when I was 21 and in the best shape of my life. Accidents, injuries, and unpreventable diseases happen, and acting like your comparative good luck means you've made better choices than those who have been less lucky by implying they've been "unhealthy as hell" is kind of gross.
On the fediverse, I use it every day. There isn't enough content in my subscribed feed, so I check the "good stuff" first and then pop over to see what's interesting elsewhere.
It's pretty much all he does unless he finds an Obra Dinn-tier darling.
Except for Gollum, he was weirdly defensive of that for a game that pulled every AAA anti-consumer trick in the book without at least the decency to be bland.
1.0 release means going from "we hope this works, but if not, be patient because we're still working on it and let us know so we can try to fix it" to "we're pretty confident this works as intended well enough to make it an official feature with announcements and PR."
This goes for all software.
It's weird to call it misleading. Yes, it might have worked, but it was a testing relationship, not an official one.
There are parks in California and Kentucky where these appear consistently and predictably in the waterfalls for a couple of hours each month. Really pretty, like the faintest ghost of a rainbow.
Photos don't really do it justice, because most photos of them are long-exposure that crank the colors up; in person (at least when I saw it) it was pale grey in the night.
Yeah, this is consistent with my experience too. I got one or two participation ribbons in my whole school life (graduated early 2000s), but they weren't common, and they never came at the exclusion of winners being recognized.
I wonder if this is why I’ll see a post has a larger comment count than the comments I can read, too.
If you've blocked someone, that person's comments and all comments replying to theirs are hidden from your view. This is my only guess why you might be seeing this. The comment count you see on your instance should be accurate, since it only counts comments it knows about and it doesn't know about defederated ones.
This makes sense in accents that skip the H in historic. Whenever I read it I mentally assign the post a comedically posh accent. Might help you tolerate it more?
Anyway, I agree with you - we all have our pet peeves, but banning over them is just silly.
