I totally agree. And I would add some of my favorite games like Outer Wilds, Satisfactory, or The Witness to the list that look great but don't try to be realistic. Their art style only serves the purpose of their respective core gameplay.

You might be right.
Cue the Sherlock theme.

Another hint:
"I don't believe you heard us or Larian say that this was about parity in terms of parity."

In another article it makes more sense:
"In terms of parity, I don’t think you’ve heard from us or Larian, that this was about parity,” he told Eurogamer.

But at least the subtitle must have been typed since there is an extra character in "f+ears".

Care to elaborate? What community has been built on Mastodon and what should not be discussed on Lemmy? Politics? Or only US politics? Or criticizing Republicans?

Coming from Germany, I don't know if the traditional way to eat muesli is just adding yoghurt. Most people I know normally add fresh milk to it.

Personally, I enjoy my daily Müsli with vanilla soy milk (but I tend to be the only one liking that), fruit skyr (or yogurt), some oatmeal and/or crunchy granola, and most importantly, at least two kinds of fresh fruit, like bananas, peaches, apples, pears, or grapes. Without fruit, it just tastes bland.

Still works for me without any issues

This is the right way

Exactly. Maybe I'm sounding awfully optimistic, but I actually enjoy the slow pace here. Posts can be 1 week old and there are still comments popping up after a while. It also makes interactions more meaningful in a way.

Sorry, your comment was just very vague. As a European, it is always interesting to follow these discussions from an outside perspective, be it here or earlier on Reddit.

It seems like US politics is all about owning the other party most of the time. It's amazing that for every issue, no matter how reasonable and clear-cut, there is always an opposing position that can be credibly argued for either side.

I would also often like to see discussions that focus more on substantive arguments and not so much on predetermined positions.

Exactly the same thing happened to me over at r/idiotsincars.

Normally, everyone there criticizes any driver who makes even a small mistake, but when I commented that the "victim driver" was speeding themselves to block someone illegally passing him, they just fell over me, ripped parts of my comments out of context and downvoted me into oblivion. They even accused me of having some kind of agenda just because I wrongly assumed the signs were showing km/h, like the dashcam, and not mph. He was briefly doing 95 km/h in a 40 mph zone. I argued it doesn't matter if it's 40 km/h or 65 km/h at that point.

I deleted all my comments and unsubscribed from that sub instantly, not a big deal. But from then on, I was so much more hesitant commenting anything. That was almost a year ago and I'm still shocked at what random hate and insinuations can do to you.

Let's hope something like that doesn't spill over here.

Do you mean that it's still the case that more resources are allocated than actually used or that the code does not need to be optimized anymore due to elastic compute?

If I remember correctly, that was the original idea of AWS, to offer their free capacity to paying customers.

Do you think that AWS in particular has this problem or Azure and GCP as well? I have mainly worked with DWHs in Snowflake, where you can adjust the compute capacity within seconds. So you pay almost exactly for the capacity you really need.
Not having to optimize queries is a good selling point for cloud-based databases, too.

It is certainly still cheaper than self-hosted on-premises infrastructure.

Enjoying games is so difficult because of this. I love open world games that let you do everything, but it's so hard focusing.

I want to finish all side quests first, but I'm forced to do parts of the main quest at some point to progress. Then I'm sad when it's already over just when I thought I'm ready to start.

And when I try to focus only on the main quest, I don't enjoy the game that much anymore after finishing because it feels unnecessary and boring.

I still somehow managed to play all 6 Assassin's Creed games up to Black Flag + Origins 100% through sheer willpower.

Pikuniku is a brilliant little puzzle adventure game, too. I don't know exactly when it was available for free in the Epic store.

No, people still have their opinions. And it's not surprising that the general opinion towards Reddit is not positive here since many feel not valued by the Reddit leadership.

Think of it like a free ride on a train sponsored by Reddit that records every move and conversation of passengers (users) and offering paid drinks (rewards). There are unpaid conductors and ticket inspectors (mods) who are stripped of many tools for their job. And passengers will no longer be able to choose between preferred seats or book a handicap accessible option (3rd party apps). Why should everyone continue as before when conditions are dictated unilaterally? Without us, the trains would be empty and no one would buy any drinks or look at the billboards. If you are happy with your uncomfortable assigned seat (official app) and the conductors are willing to compensate for the lack of tools with extra work, enjoy the ride on. However, I do not presume to be able to decide for the latter.

Satisfactory is the first game I thought of. It even made me craft little 2D building models to plan proper factory layouts.

I started playing GTA V with a controller, but was really confused how difficult the boat trailer chasing mission was. After almost 1 hour, I switched to KBM and finished it first try.
I still prefer controllers for most games.
