  • Clearly unfamiliar with the French

  • The data is never getting deleted in the first place, "delete" just needs to set a flag for non-visibility. The language used in their disclaimer leads me to believe exactly that is what is happening.

  • People who have been paying attention have already moved. Anyone who's left will need a missile dropped directly on top of their head by Elon Musk or Steve Huffman personally. They will leave when the websites can no longer support themselves and shut down their servers, forcing the users out.

  • There's no way this idea hasn't been explored in some side comic, right?

  • People lashing out about Linux terminal commands and people editing their own Windows registry entries are not the same people, lmao

    A regular Windows user being instructed to enter the registry would have a stroke and shit their pants when opening regedit, and those users would never have found the tech support thread instructing them to change a registry key in the first place. Someone who already knows about but is uncomfortable editing reg keys may fall into the group you're describing, but they would probably have an identical discomfort about regedit or about unknown terminal commands. Someone who is comfortable editing reg keys already has a Linux install on their home machine.

  • That's pretty much exactly it. Windows as a whole is now catering to the lowest common denominator. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially as more and more of the world population are adopting computers (or being required to adopt them, for work). But in trying to make things easier for beginners they're damaging some of the tools that we experts are used to. It's a give-and-take sort of situation, and I'm not as livid about it as some professionals seem to be, but the fact remains that Windows is situating itself to be used by... idiots sounds rude, so we'll say "beginners". Folks that don't know where or how to find what they're looking for. Web search in the start menu, and Cortana-now-Copilot are two prime examples of that - tools that "nobody" really needed in Windows but that help someone who has absolutely zero idea what they're doing get things done, even if poorly or inefficiently.

    I'm not upset at their attempt to add accessibility to Windows, but I do wish they wouldn't make their existing product worse in the attempt.

  • 30% and DBZ is one of my favorite media franchises. This is damn tricky.

  • Hey I made some fan art of a marvel character, should marvel pay me?

    When they use that fan art in the next official marvel movie, yes absolutely they should.

  • I've known some drummers that were talented. Smart? Ehhh, now that's pushing it.

    What drummers DO have, though, is killer upper body stamina.

  • When it happens in Russia it's "the will of the people" but when it happens in America it will be "them damn anteefers tryna' steal our election!"

  • Not annoyingly so. It's noticeably high pitched but not in such a way that I find it unpleasant.

    In fact, with a little bit of effort and a bit of training, you could probably have a pretty extensive voice range. Your tone is animated and friendly and I could see a potential for voice acting for you.

  • There's far too much sequential quest nesting that blocks you out of content for no reason.

    The reason is for replayability and having a fresh experience each time. You get blocked out of content because there are about 60 unique paths you can take through the game with different content for each.

    Not to mention the bugs

    The few I experienced personally were fixed within a couple months of release. I haven't seen a bug of any sort, actually, since January.

    Save scumming shouldn't be a part of normal gameplay

    Then... Don't do that. Save scumming also isn't a part of tabletop gameplay. You fail a roll or fuck up your plan, you deal with the outcome. Saves are only for emergencies if some bug does come up.

    You're allowed to not enjoy the game, and that's fine, it's not for everyone. But your reasons why are poor reasons.

  • Bombadil was one of the most important pieces of world building in LOTR, and that's not a joke. He's clearly a being of great power. He holds absolute sovereignty over his domain, such that even the trees and the undead bend to his will. And there is absolutely no cogent information or backstory on him, whatsoever. At all. Bombadil is printed proof that Middle Earth has a lot more going on than is touched on in the story. If Bombadil is an unexplained Great Being then it stands to reason that there would be more, beyond Sauron and Sauruman and the characters we meet directly. Bombadil is a signpost pointing off-screen and saying "Hey, there's more stuff over this way".

    He may be crazy, and silly, and poorly explained, but that's all for a reason. Tom represents the "etc." at the end of the list of beings in Middle Earth. He is an open end implying the existence of more like him.

  • If they can't deliver a product that stays in one piece when not even being shot at, they aren't about to stay a part of that MIC for long.

  • You don't want to wear the current iteration of headsets for work. Projects are in motion to make much smaller and more lightweight ones. They're stupid expensive right now but that'll change with time.

  • Once upon a time I would have agreed with you but nowadays I see a couple bullet holes in Nintendo's feet as well. And Valve is a bit less quick on the draw with their lawyers it seems.

  • There's been a big revival of that genre over the last 10 years or so and I think Boomer Shooter was adopted as a way to differentiate it from your standard FPS. Turbo Overkill is very different from Borderlands which is very different from COD. You'll need a way to communicate that difference if you want fans to buy your game.

  • We've already seen the boomest shooter. Our savior hath already come and gone and left us behind to witness his passing. His name was Ultrakill.
