Keep in mind Rockstar cancelled single-player DLC content for Grand Theft Auto V. Why? Because online Shark cards (microtransactions currency) made them too much money. That’s a fact. They literally cancelled the paid, story-driven DLC they were already planning on making and selling simply because it wouldn’t have made them the most amount of money. So it was deleted, never finished, and will never be released.

They made 8 and a half BILLION dollars from GTA V!!!

You think a publisher like that is hurting? You think I’ll ever buy anything from them again?? Especially not at $80/90/100…

Clever girl…

Absolutely. Don’t install anti-cheat malware on your computer.

Firefox with uBlock Origin and Consent-O-Matic. Oh, wait, you said “Linux Mint”, not “every single OS, for work, personal, and mobile use”.

Exactly the same energy!

Do you pay your employees fairly, or funnel all the wealth to the top and investors? Why the fuck would you expect anything other than mediocrity??

Like, what’s fucking left!?

I haven’t fished in probably a decade and am definitely not an expert. With that said, there’s many different kinds of fishing. I liked lure fishing partly because of the lack of just sitting. You’re constantly reeling in so the spinners and feathers create an enticing target under the water. There’s also fly fishing, which is usually done in a river either from shore or wading in it. You’re constantly re-adjusting where the fly lands and drifts. But even if you’re doing the “just wait for it” style fishing, there’s spots where you will constantly get bites and pull in fish. Enough that you have your pick if you’re taking them with you and not doing catch and release…

What a sad way to view the world and all its viewpoints…

I don’t know why you all tolerate this pathetic c3nsorshep here. All I said in my “unalived” comment was basically that there is 1 party in the USA that illegally disappears people, crashes the global economy (for you and me!), is corrupt, etc, and the other one tried to give everybody health care. “b07H s1des” right!?

I’m an Independent. But there’s no “leader” of the Democrats, it’s a big-tent party. Chuck is head of the group of Democratic senators, but he doesn’t dictate things outside of Senate business and we don’t blindly all follow everything he says. That’s the difference between electing public servants and people in a cult.

EDIT: Downvote all you want, this is a simple fact. You’re allowed to just want to be mad! But I don’t know why people click the “down” button just because they don’t like what was said… Has anyone used actual logic and facts to disprove me? Of course not…

Wow, people agreeing with someone arguing for ethical restraint! Not sure where I am, but respect.

That’s not fair! A cat without a box also = upvotes.

There’s not a single subreddit I will pay to visit, there’s also not one I would have paid to visit in the past. Fuck Spez, fuck Musk, and fuck censorship…

You’re not a billionaire. You just became 50% more attractive to normal people!

It’s absolutely not, lol. Like, I have no problem demonizing the worst companies, but we should be less critical of the better options. Unless you want to create a grocery and retail store chain and distribution network out of nothing…?

Money ruins literally everything.

Huh. Interesting article. But, like a lot of people, I didn’t really know anything about Unity before other than they tried to lock in and fundamentally change the fee model with their last CEO.

With respect to PC gaming, this CEO talked a lot more about AR, VR, and “web games” (still not really sure what those are, he envisions people playing them on phones in a Safari browser?) than he did about PC games. That’s concerning, but maybe to be expected of the former COO of Zynga. I guess that’s where the majority of the money is… He even said “We’re usually supportive of PC gaming too.” Lol. But in fairness, they did touch on the Steam Deck, just less than they did on things I’m much less interested in, like vehicle UX, and nothing about Linux gaming at-large…

I think developers realized how much depending on a single closed ecosystem like Unity could put them over a barrel and started to look at alternatives like Godot, etc that will probably continue to haunt this new Unity company for a while. But I’ve always been of the opinion that more competition and choices are better, for consumers and companies…

Maybe I need to look into these, or something similar. I’ve tried all the earbuds: different sizes, compressible ones, stabilizing fins, “sport” designs, etc. Every single one falls out of my ears! Can’t even imagine what it’s like to just stick them in your ears for an extended period of time and not have to worry about them…
