I might give Backpack Battles a try. It doesn’t look like my usual style, but I heard there’s some good strategy under the surface, and I like that it’s made with Godot.

So with normal use it should be fine for a few decades.
Considering that “normal use” can be so very different among different people/applications/climates, I don’t put a lot of stock in assessments like that, but it is at least one prediction to compare against when we see what happens in practice. Time will tell.
I’m curious how long the current gen OLED consoles will be in use before they develop screen burn-in.
Or by people formerly paying for their internet service with money that should have been going toward food or heat.
Losing the $30 monthly discount could force families to choose between broadband and other necessities,
Exactly.
It’s also important to note that some ISPs created a low-cost service plan specifically for ACP. (It’s reasonable to assume this was possible in part because ACP handled income verification and eliminated the costs of individual billing and credit card payments.) That plan will likely disappear if ACP goes away, leaving poor people stuck paying a bill much higher than the program ever paid.
Joke’s on them. Google locked me out of my account when I refused to give them my phone number.
This seems like a step in the right direction. Much like language translation, doing it on-device is the only way to preserve people’s data agency / privacy.
Good riddance.
This seems like a good candidate for a bookmarklet that would append the (site:…) parts to an existing DuckDuckGo search result URL. Then you could just do a normal search followed by clicking the bookmarklet.
A good explanation of the different thin film transistor (LCD) panel types:
IMHO, some of the beauty of Baldur’s Gate 3 lies in the ability to start playing immediately, and discover the mechanics little by little as you go. Instead of an impenetrable wall of complexity, it gives you a world to explore while learning something new every time you play.
However, if you want to study the mechanics, you can also consult the D&D 5th edition rules. BG3 follows most of them. https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/DnD_BasicRules_2018.pdf
But really destiny and overwatch complicated??? Those games are for children
Overwatch might seem that way because of the cartoon style and the low skill floor, but the skill ceiling is somewhat higher. I haven’t met many children who would be good at predicting behavior of high-level opponents and coordinating to counter it, for example.
I don’t know that I would call it complicated, either, except in the sense that there’s often a lot to keep track of all at once. I think I’d place it somewhere in the middle.

Friendly reminder that Klei is now owned by Tencent, in case that’s important to anyone here.
There’s a reliable way to combat scalping in general. Start selling the item at a high price or in larger quantity and then cut the price whenever sales drop off.
That alone might be effective at reducing scalping, but would also put the item beyond the reach of entire income classes.
Even if that issue were to be solved, the endless vendor lock-in and deliberate incompatibilities would remain.
I stopped buying Apple products years ago because they’re all about preventing people from truly owning the hardware they buy. Given how effective it is at extracting as much money from us as possible for as long as possible, I doubt that will ever change.
I think it’s time that we move the letter of the law past the requirement to prove harm in cases of encroachment on personal agency. Such things are next to impossible to prove as harmful (especially within a limited time frame) yet the damage is irreparable and can potentially continue forever.

Ha… That is hilarious, and very much like Bethesda. (See also: the bee problem in Skyrim.)
Sigh… You conveniently deleted important parts of my comment, such as “at least with low-graphics settings” and “adjust for a few years of hardware inflation”, and completely ignored the fact that I am talking about cases of abnormally bad performance compared to entire categories of games. The straw man you’re arguing against is not what I wrote.
It’s also ironic in light of his history of loudly bashing linux and linux game development.
I can’t think of anything good to say about Tim Sweeney.
