There is no such thing as an unintrusive advertisement.

... That's not the point here. The point is that they decided that if they launched the in-game shop at the same time as the game's initial release that they would get a bunch of bad reviews. This is worrying mainly for the fact that if they had this train of thought, that means that it must be super predatory.

Finally, an excuse to use the Wayback Machine for all of my searches!

Wait how do you disable shorts this is the first I'm hearing of this

Even emails have tracking pixels at this point. Like, I route all of my email through a client that blocks all outside media without asking lol

Are they really dogwhistles when it's so obvious? Pretty much air raid sirens at this point.

I understand why you're getting down voted, so I'll explain a bit: although union members are able to leverage protest for a variety of reasons, that's usually the last thing anyone wants to do. Negotiations are always the first step so that actors or whomever can still get paid, since while on strike that's not paid labor.

That's pretty hard to do if you live in an area that only has the one store near, and even then; would the multi-billion dollar company really care if it gets like $1200 less per year from a single customer?

Honestly, natural disaster/Apocalypse has been on mine since 2021

Neurodivergent means anyone with a medical condition that could be seen as brain pathways either being disrupted, or gone, or rerouted. A few examples would be AD(H)D, Autism Spectrum Disorder (Including things such as Asperger's), and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Edit: Changed Autism to ASD, and switched out Schizophrenia to OCD as it's more apt for the term as a whole.

In this case, it's mainly a catch-all for folks to easily find help and or others with their conditions.

Instagram is just Facebook with more pictures though tbf

Yeah, like Hasan's stream where you can literally see he retweeted the post.

This is also drawing questions for what will happen to the Risk of Rain IP. Hopefully it goes back to Hopoo.

To be fair, most of Forbes' writers (especially for games journalism) are Freelance.

Well, Pirate Bay is essentially the defacto website someone thinks of when they hear "This person pirates content." Because of this, game devs, Hollywood execs, etc end up putting out detectable torrents/illegitimate files onto this most popular pirating source.

What about VIV?

And in other news, water is wet

So, obviously this is a very bad thing to happen to Plex; however there is a secret/locked library functionality iirc from using it before.

Honestly, I'm fairly certain of the 90 or so games I have on EGS, I've only paid for one lol

Profile themes, pfps, emotes, steam deck startups, among various other things. I wish you could use steam points for booster packs though.

The Doom Eternal soundtrack was super delayed, and Bethesda/iD put the blame on Mick Gordon saying that he missed multiple deadlines to finish up the masters of the tracks. (Iirc they also fired him and hired someone new to make the DLC soundtracks) Mick Gordon responded a while after with reciepts that proved that they gave him practically impossible deadlines.

Didn't they try doing this like 5 years ago? Lol

Rock and Stone! Yeah!

I think it's because Thank You/You're Welcome is more common in older people, and that saying "No problem" makes it seem as if there's a problem in thanking someone, I guess?

Either Cashapp or PayPal I think

Fifa loot boxes contain different players, so you could either get Messi or a 3rd grade soccer player, with the 3rd grader being weighted more heavily in terms of being acquired.

Use your Country's stock exchange. Also depends on if they're doing business in that country too though iirc.

Saw this while I was on break at work, and I legitimately went slackjawed

Seasonal content is $12 a season, sadly (really dumb too since Silver only can be bought in $10 or $15 packs) but campaigns and their respective content stays in the game. They also have overhauled practically every game mode aside from Gambit, and occasionally have free weekends for DLC. Overall, it's better in some ways and worse in others.

I've been using Emby now and it's just better, plus Jellyfin uses some of Emby's databases (as per a few crashlogs I've seen)

Not especially.

A few years back, in November 2020, Bungie decided to vault all of the DLC before their most recent at the time (Shadowkeep); this was to both keep the game fresh and without cheesy weapons and whatnot, as well as to keep the game size lower. The thing is, those campaigns and raids that they vaulted? Those were the only Free-to-play aspects aside from the basic game modes at the time.

What I'm getting at here though is that because they got rid of those experiences, a lot of the story elements that were previously established with those campaigns were gone. Now the only way to experience them is to: a) Look at the in-game Timeline b) read the lore books in their tab, or c) watch YouTube for a good 2 hours at least to figure out what the hell the Fallen are, why the Witness is our Big Bad, and why Taniks always comes back.

I literally got a movie called "Cocaine Shark" like last month because of the title alone lol. It's a terrible movie, but hey, it's about a killr shark high on coke.

Ah shit, my reading literacy is terrible. Sorry about that.

Usually ones that come with an upfront cost, but yeah. There's actually a lot that are pretty good, like Monument Valley 1+2, or Stardew Valley's mobile port.

As far as I know, it was made as a ripoff film, like how Asylum makes shitty movies thst are like popular properties, but not quite.

Plus he only really came back with the last Crisis or something, so he's pretty fresh for lack of a better term

Oh those are lost to time lol

Mine's the "Can only remember work-related and hyperfixations" variant of it :/

It depends on your system, but there's a desktop and mobile app as well as an unofficial app for Linux.
