Haha, that also came to mind, it's pretty poor. Paraphrasing: "Users on Metacritic saying it "ruined" the online mode - an indicator that they are very displeased. "

You don't say? 😄

It's common since quite a few years. And blocklist as counterpart

Investment funding seems to be tightly connected to making unsustainable decisions that lead to someone trying to do "10x in 3-5 years"

This mightve come across as blunt, but I really think following a strategy that increases agency and independence is the one proper way of doing things the right way in the long run.

☀️

I feel like this is something between a woosh and an overreaction. 😅

Just want to leave you with appreciation from a stranger in regards of your effort in making sure she's OK and taken care of in the future. ❤️

😂 Had a good laugh. Did not expect that one at all

Nice write up, thoroughly enjoyed it 😄 Looking forward to season 2 🌞

First time that I read the article (it's a few years old).

What stands out to me is the following:

a) the one thing keeping heavy monitization and fully eroding of User privacy within the app at bay is the strong encryption - if Facebook finds a way to get rid of it (or maybe they are contempt with the ways they found to link Metadata to users?), that's a step they are going to do. b) the moment one sells the company/ownership switches to a publicly traded company, even when you have employees fighting against it, it goes downhill from there. Even if you are competent and have the willpower and dedication and standing to advocate for the right path, you mitigate at best - and only for some time.
c) and finally the big force in all of that: in the article you'll find Zuckerberg communicating to the WhatsApp that Wallstreet expects growth. Growth that they need to provide by compromising WhatsApps integrity.

Once you are part of the publicy traded world, agency and independency is lost to an extend that is not recoverable. I see it time and time again.

Wow, 23! Was he part of your life since kitten? Looks so cute 😊

😂 Omg

On the surface, it sounds like you want to be "right" regarding a mostly subjective topic.

But if I read you correctly though it annoys you that he is dismissing the fact that mods can actually add to the experience in several, sometimes quite substantial, ways.

If so, It is not even about the game, huh? It is more about his disability to acknowledge another opinion. I assume it would not urk you as much if he just states that it's not for him - without strange reasoning like not done by Bethesda, therefore bad.

However I don't know your dynamics, maybe he is sick of discussing the case 😜 and if not, maybe you can learn a life lesson here - knowing which fights to take and realising at what point you're dealing with a lost cause 😊

Wiatt does not disappoint 😊

Jeweils einfach der perfekte Gesichtsausdruck für solche Art von Witzen 😄

Oh god, 😯 Did she have a good time while she was with us? Her expression seems so calm and friendly 😢 I'm so sorry 😞

This was such a nice read! I can totally feel that you are inspired by old video game magazines. Feels so fresh and your personality really does shines through 😊

Also gifs convey so much at a glimpse, no gaming site should use just Screenshots I'm convinced now 😅. No really, I got interested in a few games on the list just because I "felt" them way more than seeing Screenshots on some news site.

I love those posts, thank you so much.

With Captain blood and tridents tale we even have 2 pirate themed games today. I am surprised by Captain blood, I know quite some niche stuff in video games, but never heard of it.

The one click mods coming to gog are really cool, allows you to step in a curated alternative form of a beloved game without the hassle. I'm curious what we will get there. I could imagine a version for gothic 1, which is such an interesting game, but very clunky - but there are fan patches to address that.

Btw. I see an "Arari" where it should probably be "Atari". Not to nitpick, but rather to express my appreciation for the post.

I'm also looking forward to the next remedy release, those guys are very special to me.

Again, thanks for the writeup, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also the wider look including the PS2 and gog office rooms. ☀️

Get well PerfectDark ❤️

I like you pointing that out. It's honestly so creepy, way more than just thinking about a faceless company. Makes you really think which other stuff they are fine with 😕

What's their name? 👀

"Hello, this is dog"

Cute one! Does he behave?
