One of the biggest controversies at the start of all of this was Ubisoft pulling The Crew whilst pushing people to buy The Crew 2. Frankly it’s amazing we haven’t seen that more often with the near identical sequels such as the Madden, FIFA, F1 etc games.

No one’s forcing you to buy a remaster… unless they are because they revoke your right to play the original so it’s your only option.

Remasters and remakes will still happen but companies won’t have as much freedom to yoink a purchased product from your pocket years down the track in the name of some profit strategy.

But I want to resell it to the same person for further profit 👉👈🥺 - AAA Game Publishers

Alternatively, when the console control scheme is tight and well made but the PC controls are ASDF + whatever random keys spread at opposite ends of the keyboard.

It also gets pushed out! (Normally)

Yes, though not to the extreme.

Shaggy looking like he should be watching Better Homes and gardens while crocheting a blanket.

And I relate.

we don’t need … more tits.

Blasphemy!!

Wake me up when I can sync them to Nextcloud/Immich.

I’ve been giving Immich another go recently but I think it just tried to prune almost 900 photos from my photo library which keeps me very hesitant to keep using it.

My car has an electronic dash and one of the only benefits is displaying information such as GPS turn info in the centre of the dash cluster. The down side is that it only works with the built in GPS guidance which is almost always out of date. So even though it’s inconvenient I still default to using CarPlay and having guidance in the infotainment screen instead.

So I could see that as a useful feature if it’s opt-in. Ask the first time “would you like to see promotion for venues of purchase” or something.

But the random promotional notifications, like the F1 thing, can flog off.

As far as I’m aware NO₂ will fill a pit. In the industry I work in NO₂ leaks are serious threat because the engines that are worked on are in, what is essentially, a cage that you walk down into. I’ve not experienced it myself but heard from someone who experienced it firsthand as you just start feeling sleepy. I know now that it’s because our bodies are sensitive to asphyxiation from CO₂ but not NO₂, so as it displaces the oxygen in our lungs you just start getting woozy and tired.

All that being said; I am not an expert. Half this is information from diesel mechanics who work with it and the other half is from random science videos. So take it with a grain of salt.

She looks like the reference for the captured goblin lady in Baldurs Gate 3.

No and after I realised that something was wrong I set a second alarm for a few minutes later and it seems to do the same.

You have made me realise that I haven’t tested scenarios. I just tried an alarm then normally and in sleep focus without any issue. I’m thinking I might remove all alarms and start a fresh, maybe it’s something to do with the alarm a had set before the beta?

I especially liked meme community bots. Yes they were disruptive but as long as they were fun they were fulfilling a purpose and typically contained within the community they were for.

That would actual be pretty funny to start with. Rubber bullet stand offs between journos and the American brown shirts. You know, before USA starts “accidentally” hitting journos with $3.5 million dollar missiles a la Israel style.

Then Kelloggs releases a new porridge filled with red dye called “Oops! All journalists!” and taco serves it to foreign ambassadors in what would be a terrifying gesture if he didn’t spend the entire meal dancing on the table with those geriatric “I want to move but not fall over” dance moves.

Whether you like it or not, I had a lot of fun writing this absolute bullshit XD
