How dare they ask for money for their work!

You gotta either build monetization right into the game or offer an easy way to buy it. There's a reason why payment processors and stores in general try to reduce friction to a minimum.

If you wanna pay for something you either do it right away and without much hassle or very likely never. Personally I would even rather buy a game right away and be dissapointed (and potentially revisit it later) than download a demo first. I realize that this is a privileged position to be in, but either way it is an advantage for you if I don't think about spending money too much

Am I the only one?

You think the Rockstar marketing team is trying to scam people with a shitcoin? I am not shure even greedy CEOs would sign that...

I mean that and the leaker is German and has been active for a while as it seems

Everything was almost perfect. Until...

Any distro can break at any update. If you've ever done a major upgrade on any fixed-release distro, you have very likely experienced some sort of issue.

And the solution is very simple (and the same for all distros): Enable Snapshots, roll back if important stuff breaks.

Dark Souls 2 fun

Reply in thread

It had a great PvP scene going for it. Also a huge world and improvements of all kinds over DS1. The only tragedy is that it also came with regressions in very important areas...

Still, it heavily influenced later games and the DLC + Scholar brought back a lot of what the original release kinda lacked

Don't hate the player. You can't send mail with E2E encrypted headers and you can't leave payment data and expect Proton to violate regulations and delete it.

Signal has to deal with neither of these issues.

The problem isn't female leads, it' trash-tier writing. Like introducing a self-conscious stormtrooper and then having him unemotionally kill his mates pretty much immediately. Or introducing a nobody and then make her the child of a somehow™️ returned supervillain. Or having your minor villain and your female lead fall in love and then having them pretty much just revert back to where they were before. Or replacing the Death Star with an intergalactic Death Shotgun. The list goes on

Valve Engineer Mike Blumenkrantz Hoping To Accelerate Wayland Protocol Development

I love how people are complaining about Wayland not being ready or being unstable (whatever that even means, because it's a protocol), while it's the default on both GNOME and Plasma now, which combined probably run on more than 50% of Linux desktops these days.

And not only that, but Cinnamon, Xfce and others want to follow, so very clearly people who know a fair bit about desktops seem to disagree with Wayland being "not ready".
