I was paying for it at a legacy price still but that gets wiped out with this I guess. Canceled.

In my freetime, I play games, play with gadgets, solve Rubik’s cubes, play rando’s on Lichess, and take lots of naps with my 6 cats.

Came here to say this 👆 It’s really not hard to get started or use, folks just drag their feet on it for some reason.
That’s partly because of actions taken by various governments. Who knows what tech would look like today if Microsoft from the 90s forced us all into Internet Explorer.
Also, more successful examples would be Google. They have done this very thing several times but then keep messing it up lol
I think of “retro” as pixel-based and early 3D games that were sorta killed during the PS1/Saturn/N64 era.
Once we get into more advanced 3D / Polygonal games (PS2/GameCube/Xbox), it’s a different era; but it’s not due to the visual shift alone, but the design philosophy and craft/code itself. I would consider them “modern” and point to series like Zelda as an example.
Games like WindWaker feel more connected to Breath of the Wild than it does to Link to the Past or even Ocarina of Time. And I think the same goes for series like Mario, Metal Gear, and so on.
It’s not perfect, but it’s way better for privacy than Google and looks a million times better than Bing. Sometimes the middle path is the best you can hope for / ask of others.
The only way the Fediverse gets ready is by going thru the growing pains that Reddit had to when we all fled from Digg. It also wasn’t ready then but the community stepped up and became mods and built apps and made it awesome. We will do it again… and this time it’ll be distributed and much harder for one person to screw over all of us
I do but try to remind myself that “wasting my time” is a concept that capitalism has forced on us bc they want us to feel guilty when not productive.
Just the idea/concept felt off… someone should have asked why we need a whole game about a side-character that no one asked for
Ooof… sad for all those devs, but wow was that game was a mistake from the start
What’s with every big tech company trying to destroy their userbase this year?
I moved off a while ago at this point… I still have to use some of it because of work being on G-Suites but otherwise my personal stuff has moved.
Doesn’t seem that surprising since AMD has its chips in all the consoles. Probably just makes the PC and Xbox version extra similar
I’ve been happy to see a few webkit browsers on Mac recently (like SigmaOS). Hoping others follow suit since that team seems to be doing good work again
It’s no more cheating than scrubbing through StackOverflow posts for help. Just a lot quicker.
Sucks, but at least you can remove them
They did a real good job with Redfall after the last purchase. And Starfield keeps getting delayed… gotta release good exclusives to eliminate anybody lol
I guess that’s $2 for Ultimate though. If you’re paying for it, that’s the tier to get.
Just grabbed a bunch of Diablo-likes for cheap (Titan Quest, Revenant, NOX, Sacred 1 & 2, Grim Dawn)… was about $20. Retro summer here we go!!!
We are all leaving my dude. Who will be there to vote?
PWA with wefwef. But also checking out the new apps here and there.
