Imagine living in a country where people take “short sabbaticals” (the developed societies know those as holidays, are paid and you are entitled to them each year) that can affect even potential promotions.

Putin will go and say “yeah, we did it, so what? Suck it up” and that will be the end of story.

No, it didn’t. He is a free speech absolutist. For his own speech, not for yours. He bought twitter so he could speak freely.

And the face banquet starts.

Generally, 12ft.io works pretty well for me.

Indeed. Today’s problem is that graphical fidelity takes so much of the development time and resources that the rest of the aspects of the game are completely left aside.

Yeah, I can count how many freckles this character has in their face, but that’s all these games offer now, and I don’t need to count freckles, I can do that in real life. I want to have a good time with the game.

I’m not really sure it’s completely like that. In the early 2000’s we had “beautiful” games (aka the most advanced graphics that technology could afford) but games were fun.

Devs invested in graphics, but they also invested in innovative formulas, in gameplay… You could tell a game was unique and beautiful.

Today, AAA games are just a checklist of things that must be included (almost none pointed at making the player have fun) with an incredible level of detail that makes every single leave of every tree move independently from the rest.

They focused so much on hyper realistic graphics that they forgot about the most important part of a game: being fun.

I’ve sunk way more hours in an “ugly” game such as space haven or balatro this year than in any ultra beautiful (and void of fun) AAA game.

Doesn’t work for me either. Mail cache empty.

But don’t worry, fifa said they can held a world cup and it will help them with the humans rights respecting issue

And I’m perfectly fine costing them money, I would pay, were they not enshittifying music streaming and paying peanuts to the artists.

Actually, I might try and find a new patch if they block this one to keep costing them money out of spite.

Still working on my end, but don’t know for how long, if they kill it, it might be the time I pass to tidal or say fuck it and just start using again my old mp3 player app

Sure, and then what? Remove their shitty launcher?

Since we’re fantasizing here, why don’t we go big and ask to end the hunger in the world?
