I feel like for internal government communications you might not want it to be open source.

Doesnt mean everyone else should want to use it.

I feel like when I dipped my toes into the lore the Tau seemed the closest to good guys that I could find but I don’t know it well

I’m all for having both. I personally prefer ‘AAA’ games over indie games but I think there’s just different flavours for different folks.

That said, SC is a mega scam at this point and I can’t believe people are still continuing to fund it to this level.

I was just about to post Warframe as well - though on PS5 rather than PC.

Is definitely scratching an itch!

Why is matrix better than discord?

FOSS but also no ads. And don’t harvest any data to sell either.

I genuinely don’t understand where revenue streams are meant to come from for any of this software with peoples expectations.

But honestly Lemmy is so pro piracy that it doesn’t really matter if you were to charge for your product

It’s not so much laziness as the reason you’ve given - everyone else is on WhatsApp. Why would I move to a new messaging app when I literally can’t message the people I want to message on it cause they don’t have it.

I mean, the easy option is just selecting your level of experience at the beginning and offering experienced players an option to skip the tutorial.

I gamed on PC for many years and basically only moved to a console when I had kids a few a years back.

Both have benefits. For me, I like the not being distracted by other stuff on the console. Like if I sit down to game, on PC I’d often just end up on YouTube, twitch, check reddit, emails, whatever. I like that my console I just use for gaming.

I still play on my PC from time to time and there’s obviously games that are only on PC, but my preference is console for the current phase of life and that’s fine for me.

I can also buy and sell console games 2nd hand though which isn’t possible on PC anymore.

That said, PC piracy probably wins overall if you’re looking the absolute cheapest option. But that’s kind of a different set of arguments.

For parts of the world ‘free bank’ and ‘free transfers’ are just the norm anyway. I’m amazed it isn’t the case in the US already.

Yea, even with connecting flights I’m sure people miss the connection for various reasons with reasonable regularity

I don’t think the solution to that problem though is having multiple, smaller, unconnected grids.

I think it’s to just have a more resilient grid system that doesn’t have any areas that are a single point of a failure

I’ve a friend with one that I want to try sometime!

I switched the opposite direction a year or two ago.

Being stuck sat a desk at work all day makes me want to game on the sofa in the evenings and I find a console a much handier way of doing that.

Cause if you don’t buy the $70 disc drive, then you save $50. That’s the logic…

Long as you’re happy to be limited to digital purchases and not be able to buy 2nd hand games.

I guess the disc drive is also good if you decide a year or two later ‘hmmm, maybe I should’ve got the disc version actually’.
