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

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

“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when we look back everything is different.”

You measure your life by the milestones. When your a kid these come quickly. First words, first steps, first day of school, first friend, first crush, and on and on. So many things happening all of the time. As we get older the time between these milestones grows. You work the same job, see the same people, have the same routines. The space between those milestones blurs together and it all feels the same. It goes by slowly, but when you look back it’s happened all at once, where did the time go?

It’s important to fill as much of that space between as we can. Be adventurous and try everything, hit new milestones.

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

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.

I love when this happens and they present no alternative. Choosing a losing option instead of accepting an imperfect effort. Try to improve it? No surely not. Throw it all away. If a social program helps someone I deem unworthy of aid it must be removed.

How small of a person.

I know very little about electronics and really like Jeremy Fieldings videos. A very good channel.

As for mkbhd. I don’t like his content on Elon musk products. He bought a Tesla and was in a bunch of their beta/early adopter stuff and makes videos with heavy praise. It gives me a bad taste about his ethics on these topics which extends to the rest of the channel.

For me it’s the sense of progression. I cognitively know it’s meaningless progression but emotionally I still feel value out of that artificial progression. Like I’ve achieved something. In addition to that it’s freeing in that it’s the most objectively fair setting(I suppose this is less true in modern games than it used to be sadly) in a game it doesn’t matter who you are or what your reality is, it doesn’t exist there. No problems from your real life have to exist there so that escapism can be a very addictive coping mechanism.

Id need a fan to get rid of moisture when it’s hot and my feet are sweaty.

Quick swap method for the tread of the bottom as it becomes worn or to suit another purpose - need nonslip non conductive bottom at work -swap as needed or maybe need better support for long distance running on pavement for your work out - swap to the tread for that

Shoe laces are gone I want a one hand quick latch or something. I’ve seen them on helmets adapt it to a shoe please.

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.

Sponsor block says it’s skipped about 18hrs since I started using it. No way I’m going to stop using it when I have a choice.

Yes this is the most critical. The apps that have been made are a good stride in the right direction but the fediverse is not intuitive to use
