I’m ashamed that the sprites for these characters will stop me from scrolling 100% of the time despite not liking the game at all 😆

Bummer that isn’t mastodon but any inconvenience to musk is appreciated

Wasn’t machines using humans as batteries a plot point in the matrix? Why are people trying so hard to make these sci-fi nightmares a thing? 😆

Cool story bro

You call it kidnapping but they’ve just done a good job at making partners and compatible software for 30+ years. That didn’t happen over night and that success wasn’t handed to them. Again, I’m not a fan of theirs and I boot into Linux whenever my day allows for it but it sounds like you’re putting your personal taste before logic.

Imma disagree since they’re part of that top 3 shuffle for most valuable companies on the planet BUT I still don’t like them lol I did try the windows phone though when those were a thing. It was solid but lacked app support so I caved before the 30 day period and returned it.

I’ve got the story all caught up. I had dropped out shortly after the new war was released and this time I decided that I wanted to actually understand the game (I usually follow guides because of how many game modes, resources and modding can be done) so I tackled all of the campaign missions back to back and then got my standing at level 4 to max with everyone and that was a DRAG. But I’m glad I did it because I’ve got tons of cool gear to mess with and I’ve been having fun swapping weapons and frames to see which abilities are fun with which gun or melee types. I don’t normally look into meta guides and prefer to just grab a weapon and see what feels fun but it took a while for me to get that way with WF because there are just so many mechanics to get overwhelmed by.

I’ve been addicted to WarFrame for months and before that it was Wayfinder but that was pre 1.0 so I’d like to go back into that one when I can peel myself away from WF

Honestly I don’t know much about the war over there because I’ve been actively avoiding info about it (just got enough problems without piling on a war I have no skin in) but organizing unsanctioned political events on company grounds sounds like it’s looking for heat. That’s a publicity traded company but not a government entity so freedom of speech isn’t really a shield there.

Timed exclusive*

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into it 🤔

I’m super torn between not wanting more Amazon in my life and wanting a convenient way to binge a lot of comics and manga

LMAO

I feel attacked (currently scrolling from the toilet)

I relate to that so hard though! I got 3 friends that I hand out with on a regular basis and 2 that keep some what in touch. I love them all like brothers (known them all for 20 years) and everyone else can kick rocks 😆

As a consumer and Linux user I want to agree that there should be more native support for games but from a realistic standpoint it just wouldn’t make sense. Even the Xbox having an estimated 20% of PlayStation’s sales has been enough for publishers and to slow down on support for that console. Linux makes an optimistic 3ish percent of consumer’s PC operating systems and doesn’t easily allow kernel level installs by games to support their anticheat measures. Again I would absolutely love to boot into Linux more often when I’m gaming but the numbers just aren’t there.

I agree mostly but ironically, I think the whole “cringe” thing is the darkest. It gives a get back in line* vibe (to me anyway) that’s been played out forever. Straying away from the norm should be encouraged or ignored if it’s not for you but openly insulting someone for it is pretty lame.

LMAO

It still makes me feel some type of way that Sony (a Japanese company) gets so much sway over US business and policies. It’s something I thought about a lot when Microsoft was trying to close its deal with Activision. I don’t care much either way about multi-billion dollar conglomerates (or trillions in Microsoft’s case) butting heads but it did strike me as odd that a foreign company had that much of a hold on the deal. I get that piracy of media is frowned upon but like the ISP’s are arguing here, the affects of cutting off access to their clientele would have a lot of negative impact. I once again sit here wondering why a foreign company should have that kind of power over American citizens… you know?

They offer text messaging as well yeah, but simpler devices are nice. I use my smartphone most when I’m at work, bored in the break from (like right now) but outside of that I just usually have better things to do. I often leave my phone at home in favor of my smart watch which does a lot less but still has my music on it and a way for the wife to contact me which are the 2 main things I value. I’m just saying that even it’s not for the majority, 2 way pagers would likely have a place in the market. There’s a whole group of people these days that love shopping for dumb phones to cut distractions out of their days.
