We'll all pay for a subscription-based future

Not me - the moment when buying a game outright is no longer an option is the moment when I stop paying for video games. I already have a large library on Steam (1,700+), GoG (400+), and I'm not planning on buying any Playstation or Xbox products. I've never paid for Xbox game pass, or PS plus, nor do I plan to. They can scheme all day long, hike the prices every week, I already buy games only if they're on a really deep discount or in a bundle. Never paid more than 30 bucks for a game, and I could count on one of my hands how many I paid more than 20 bucks for.

I do, of course, realize that I'm in the minority, but hopefully more people will realize how big of a scam these subscription services are.

I was mostly referring to the last part of the article where the author explains the entire long-term plan behind the subscription services - first they offer a large variety of games for a low price, then they squeeze the customers for every single penny after they've cornered the market.

How else would you test the difference? By looking at a still picture?

The difference matters very much in high speed video games and this is the most basic of ways to test it.

Some of my favourites:

If I remember any more I'll update the list. I listen to these all the time.

I prefer Gothic horror movies (usually with vampires) and some of the very best examples would be Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu by Werner Herzog, Sleepy Hollow, and Hammer Studios' Dracula.

I'd also like to give a shout out to the most recent hidden gems from this genre that I enjoyed tremendously, The Haunted Palace (Based on The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H. P. Lovecraft) and The Family of Vourdalak (The second segment from the Black Sabbath movie, based on a story from Aleksey Konstantinovich Tolstoy).

This is true for a lot of fields, but I'm going to take a guess you're working with machine learning?

Just want to add, if you're feeling nostalgic about some of these Flash games and want to play them again, download Y8 browser. My personal favorites are Warlords: Call to Arms, and Steppenwolf: The X-Creatures project.

I'd love to see a seedless watermelon. It'd be less of a hassle to eat them.

There is literally a same post like this a few posts below in the community with a solution.

I really want to play single-player versions, or at least on my own private server, games like Travian or Ikariam. Basically resource management strategies but without the insane need to be 24/7 online in anticipation of an enemy attack.

Edit: Also a single player tab targetting open world rpg.

For a moment I thought the Eevee Blender render engine was discontinued, lol.

Because that's how Mastodon works.

After binging the 12 books over the holidays, I've made an attempt to watch the movie adaptation. It couldn't be that bad, could it?

It was much worse. Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen.

The official announcement teaser for The Elder Scrolls VI came out in June of 2018. That means Bethesda will have most likely started advertising the game a full decade before it came out, if the game is at least five years away at this point.

1P1 = 1 * 2^1 = 2

Long walks, tricep pushdowns, bicep curls and leg press.

Netflix competitors (Disney, Comcast, Paramount,...) lose over $5 bilion, and now some of them are thinking about merging into one huge corporation.

Crazy frog and its sequel were genuinely good racing games for the time. I enjoyed them a lot. Split screen was awesome.

The worst of Lemmy is a certain instance... That I have never heard from after defederation.

Yeah, defederating from Beehaw was definitely a great decision. I'm so glad I don't have to see those guys' posts anymore.

Took them only three years.
