Maybe I’m miss remembering but weren’t they restoring stuff users deleted during the API protest?

At sea? Chance in a million.

God I love that skit.

I blocked this website on my news feed because of this article. It’s opinion piece written by an asshat.

You would need to pay shipping on orders under 35$ - previously 25$ was the threshold. With some exceptions that require shipping be paid no matter what prime was there to give you two day shipping on all orders at no extra cost. Now they have prime video, prime gaming, prime music, and prime reading as part of it aswell. All of which have were some nice added value to anyone already paying to get the shipping. Although prime video now has ads, music and reading are really just a worse version of their subscriptions for those services - amazon music and Kindle unlimited.

Basically if you have frequent small orders on Amazon it might be cheaper to pay the monthly sub than to pay for shipping. For most people it’s really not worth it, either because you don’t place enough orders or they would meet the threshold for free shipping anyway.

I’m a souls hater. They are just slow and boring games.

Yeah this is one of those games you play for what it is now because chances are it’s about as finished as it will ever be.

Wtf is up with that building in the picture it’s lumpy and ribbed

Warframe has been consuming basically all of my game time. It took a long time of playing off and on for it to really click with me like it has now where Ive stuck with it. I’m actually a bit glad though because it’s left this ocean of different things in the game I can do and it’s been great.

They have the money and the technical talent to make a good launcher. They just appear to choose not to.

This is completely the case. You can’t tell me the makers of Unreal Engine couldn’t figure out how to replicate at least some of the more commonly used features of Steam. Of course they can do it. Someone somewhere in the corporate ladder decided they don’t need the extra features to compete with steam. Maybe burning money on the exclusivity contracts and game giveaways will work out in the long run, but I doubt that when they flat out said they’re spending more money than they earn in their 800+ person layoff just a few months ago.

Instead of offering anything to be a better platform they are burning money on the platform in hopes they can pay their way to dominance by paid exclusivivity and giving away games. One of those isn’t bad for users. Now consider what Epic offers beyond being able to buy and download a game. Nothing. Epic is only a storefront and they’ve had years to work on this at this point. Steam has gained dominance and maintains it in no small part due to all the additional features available to everyone. Do you use the steam workshop for any of your games? Have you used the steam community forums to troubleshoot a problem? Do you use big picture mode for a more console like experience? Do you customize your controller settings with the pretty expansive controller support built into steam? The overlay? How about the custom profiles and badges and trading cards? Epic is only a storefront. That’s it. That’s all that’s on offer. So they supplement it with bribing devs to be exclusive to their store and giving away games to try and attract users.

Okami was really fun. I will say that going back to play it now the NPC talking sound the murmuring gets really old fast. I still enjoyed everything else.

He has a video where he talks about his experience caring for his mother who had alzheimers at the end of her life. Very sad situation. His video was informative on the difficulties it presents and the perspective of trying to make it as easy as possible to let your loved on live while having to watch them regress and adjust.

Wikipedia is one of the most impressive collective creations of the modern world. One day corrupt politicians will ruin it. They’re one of the organizations I donate to every year in my futile hope they preserve it as long as possible. Articles like this just reinforces the need to vote for people who aren’t actually cartoon villains. May not vote for SC but we do for who appoints them.

Bets on it being a big map with not much to do in it?

It sucks because while the award has lost ‘prestige’ by becoming too much of a marketing gimmick it still obviously means a great deal to the teams that win. Maybe I’m too jaded on the topic but I can’t watch these kind of events anymore. Unaffiliated celebrities, shitty ad slots, can’t even hear the people your watching for talk for any length of time. For the viewers it’s kinda a shitty thing to watch live. Catch the highlights as they make their rounds on social media.

Diablo 4 isn’t that good of a game and not even close to the best arpg. I admittedly got hosed on buying it at launch and am not giving them more money. Why would I spend over 150$ total to get the equivalent of 1 mediocre game assuming they fix all the bs. Definitely regret the purchase at this point, and if a fixed version is going to be locked behind absurdly priced dlc in the future I feel like I got scammed twice.

This imploded so quickly I’m impressed

Big “I pledged it” energy here.

I found I could visaully block the pop up and use keyboard controls to still play a video. It did break navigating the page though because while I couldn’t see it popup it was still there.
