Yeah coming to lemmy and finding out about the so called communist reminded me more of those in favor of the small ruling elite like the pigs from Animal Farm was surprising. Not realizing they are the ones being sent to the glue factory while the pigs lounge around enjoying the lavish life in this so called communist workers paradise.
Reminded me nothing of socialists or at least what I think of socialism with it reminding me of more the monarchy. They seem more like nationalists who coopted socialism/communism to white wash what they actually support and overlooking the elite ruling class that they are not a part of.
Much like the fascists in Western countries who deny they are fascists and are for democracy while supporting ideas of coups for life time dictators that hold their views. Very similar groups.
Indies I think helped younger gamers and old gamers become less impressed by graphics compared to the past. Gamers expect more and there's many indies and old games people haven't played.
How is that even measured when you see big budget games with DRM flop and games without DRM get crazy sales. Do consumers who pirate but are willing to pay full price for a game even that significant?
I'm saying they are using it like a rss in the fact that they are mainly there just to follow and be fed content. It's where they go if they want direct content submissions from blank famous person.
Regular people likely care more about being able to follow who they follow than ads, which they are more likely to put up with even for basic browsing. Last bit was just how I use it.
For iPadOS had heard of people getting it bent because of the case they used requiring force when they took it in and out. Screen is also big and its thin so that can make it easier to bend if you are putting it in a bag.
I put my iPad in a hard shell laptop case if I'm putting it in a bag. And for general case to protect from scratches I used one with soft silicon edges so it was easy to take in and out a opposed to the ones that snap to the iPad.
I think because when it comes to Instagram or Twitter type social media more people probably use it only to follow accounts and have no interest in being involved in it. So closer to treating it like a rss reader than something like lemmy or reddit. And conversation feed sucks in general.
I use squawker for Twitter. Can't comment, like, sub, or whatever and account follows are just local feeds like Stealth for Reddit or NewPipe or Freetube. And that's all I need from it.
Yeah, the first map area is small and kind of lifeless and I think like 3 hours long? Some don't give a game longer than that, but the entire game took like 300 hours for me to finish so it was very small portion of a very long dense game.
First few hours can seem slow with the early map not being the most exciting, but if you make it through the huge world opens up and things start getting much more exciting.
When I played I printed out a side quest list to try to experience as much of the game a possible and checked off ones I completed. Side quests are amazing and better than the main quest as opposed to being the usual fetch quest with a weak or no story.
Companies can charge $60 for games and people will buy it. Doesn't mean enough people will rush out to buy it to actually be a good price. Too many options now, and not all games have the demand to have people pay whatever.
So excited about this. I've wished for years to be able to be able to play this game at 60 fps and hire. Months back I revisited this game on my PS3 to check out the multiplayer and the frames were rough.
Yeah Apple was the one that really needs actual side loading with how absolutely locked down it is. Makes me wonder if this is just some equivalent of an empty gesture to avoid having to make Apple actually open up.
