Krasnov got a go signal on his marching orders

Welcome to Costco, I love you if you don’t come from Iran

Probably by the common mindset that mobile games don’t really count for gaming clout.

If i compare what crap games i’ve played on my PC sometimes to mobile games, i feel that such boundaries are pretty arbitrary. There are some mobile games that can keep up with PC gaming too - Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Hoplite come to mind.

I agree that most competitive games tend to go that way. My ex and I played a lot of League of Legends in a small friend group together (where this did not happen, thank god), and if playing with “externals” it was unbelievable what bullshit she had to deal with. and although most of the time the creeps bit off more than they could chew, it must have felt pretty bad, regardless of what me and our friends did or said.

Anyone with experience in non-competitive game settings to share?

Yeah, i remember reading an article where child devs were getting burnout from working inhumane hours, organized through discord with shit like standups and all the crap from offices, but without pay, health insurance or vacation time, on top of a shitton of bullying - and Roblox gets their cut through their marketplace

If i remember correctly (it’s been a while), then the Bible becomes a lot more coherent if you throw out the old testament, and keep to the new testament only - which actually is what christians should do, because the sacrifice of Jesus is a new covenant which supercedes the old one with Moses.

If you keep to the NT, then there isn’t so much ambiguity - evangelicals who cite from the OT are even more backwards than catholicism itself is.

Not yet - Hyperinflation hasn’t yet started, but you’re getting there.

i use my 27 inch monitor as a shield while using my logitech joystick as a cudgel. if needed, i use my steam deck as a throwing weapon and short the battery of my Vape to use it as a fragmentation grenade.

Hi you, this is me too, didn’t want to buy new hardware too just because MS wants me to. i went with Nobara because it liked my Nvidia GPU a lot more than many other distros, and deleted my windows partition after 3 days - i expected it to take a lot longer than that to feel safe doing that, but it just works and i can do more with my PC than i ever could with windows.

We are doing our part :-)

I actually pay for 404 Media, because they are a small investigative outfit and do not do ads. That’s worth something!

the replaceable batteries will be coming back (thanks EU, don’t know if it will spill over to the US tho), and regarding the headphone jack there seems less and less market - wireless headphones have started to win out with features like ANC, passthrough and long battery times (i have to charge mine about once a week, and they are not new), on top of getting rid of the cable that annoyed more people than it endeared. You still can use cabled headphones with an adapter, so i don’t think it’s a catastrophal loss.

Yeah, i’m pretty sure the EU wont approve of locking down PCs that way. I’m also pretty sure that Googles current moves regarding the registration of developers and locking down sideloading will not be seen positively in the current climate, where the EU seeks to become more independent from Silicon Valley. The EU has been adamant in their view that users should not be limited to one market on phones; i believe that trying to lock down PCs would lead to legislation forbidding that.

thanks, i just filled out the questionnaire - data retention is illegal and it has to stay this way.

I don’t know what VPN you use, but i have zero issues running Proton VPN and accessing catbox. Maybe some VPN nodes are used to attack Catbox and they are temp banned?

If it comes to keeping contact information in order, that is something that only consumers can do; it would be pretty creepy if Corpos knew my new email address without telling them.

It has nothing to do with what i think about 3rd party launchers. Those are 2 different things, no need to get personal.

It can be, just relaxing together can be quality time.

The license is bound to Rockstar social accounts, which are bound to an email address. That is pretty visible when you create your account for the game if i think back to my installation. Control of the Steam account is circumstancial evidence, ownership of the email address is proof of ownership.

I simply repeat: it is OPs job to keep their accounts in order and contact information updated. The license is bound to an email account. Keep your info updated for stuff you actively use, or run into trouble. There’s nothing else to say in this matter.

that was gouranga

But Rockstar cannot be sure that the Steam account hasnt been taken over, so access to the Steam account years after the purchase is not proof of ownership to them.
