I explained how it works, that it’s just artificial scarcity, with vark patterns like FOMO, that they’ll lose it all on day (when switching game for example or the game stops existing), but also that for a small game it could help the creator (they loved a sand digging game and bought a better shovel lol) etc. I also put the money in perspective , like remember that candy we bought, it was 5€, are you sure you want to buy a skin for 8€ (they did)? But I didn’t outright forbid them to do so, they got to chose and they were quite happy about it. I very rarely gave them anything (maybe 20-30€ during like 3 years) but they hit the gramps :-) and eventually the house of cards went down and they were outraged that all their skins and “rare skins” were just useless now. They got a single skin for the next shooter IIRC so to not have the newbie skin, but then it just stopped.

It’s a dictatorship. It’s not logic. Fuck the Kremlin.

He doesn’t sound very epic to me.

Putting too many game mechanics into a game, like fighting system, bonus crystals, combinations of stuff to upgrade other stuff, plus pets, minigames, repetable quests, party combinations, crosswords, and more, in a single player game especially.

And dark patterns of course.

The 5600X is a beast IMO, I had a 2600X IIRC that my kid now has, very good CPU, I understand why you’d like to compile with it 😁.

I also remember mobos were kind of bad, like 2 RAM lanes and few connectics compared to how it usually was “before”.

What’s the spare CPU?

Maybe an old mobo with 6 sata can be found for cheap.

I totally agree with the sata (or raid) cards.

I worked hard to make my kids understand why that stuff is bad. They got their highs, crashes, and understanding, now they’re not attracted to stuff like that any more 😅 but man, it should totally be illegal.

Especially for kids ffs.

Time to get a little homelab :-) ! Like it can encode stuff for days without getting in the way and keep those drives accessible. Nowadays any tiny pc comes with an ethernet port so usually its just plug & play too.

That’s not how you compile fast. I mean they exist but better buy a second PC for the price. Or optimise your project, or get a build cache.

E8400 for the win! Q6600 is soo out!

Just send one (1) child picture.

Chess on lichess

My passkey died for my DS, haven’t been able to find a replacement, maybe I should look again.

You could also do homebrew on it, kind of nice back in the day.

What about those Xiaomi and other “versions” of android?

Thank You!

I’ll checknout jade empire for sure!

I tried baldurs gate (3?) and it was like 6 persons right away and I died in the tutorial (I guess you have yo use each and ones special abilities to overcome the others weaknesses ir something).

I’m not a fallout person, a shame it wasn’t a more fantasy setting 😁

Played nwn back in the day, liked it a lot, but when I retried it lately it felt really old, I’ll have a look at nwn2.

Cheers !

I’d love a good old rpg 😊! Especially a non group one, or like a side kick or small group but when you start out with 7 it’s too much for me.

Thanks! I might have a go at it again then. Or if you have any better recommendations 😊!

Arcanum, is it that one that starts with a blimp crash?

If so, what’s Drogs patch?

Looking for something along those lines…

Cheers

Chess 😐

LEGO lawsuit incoming!

The landscape gives me some Moebius vibes, the construction, LEGO!

Well said IMO.

Soon to come: AI made games? 😬

Yeah what’s next, microphones that listen to everything we say?

East Berlin and the STASI remembers.

You forgot the /s

I guess, some people are deluded with communism.

What a stupid take.

NPC dialogs? Owned by Nintendo too.

A 1TB SSD is 60€. In a shop.

They’re like cheaping out 6 bucks here

No. Must, not, install, D2 again!

Good developers can work there?

How much is it?

Also how much RAM/Storage did you get?

Sure, but my point was: don’t believe their word for it. Check it up.

Edit: still can’t help yourselves sucking it up to rich people IMO. Guy lived like a billionaire his whole life and now “only” has tens of millions…

Yeah maybe he’s like bill gates and gave away large portions of his wealth, to himself…

Stuff like this needs to be thoroughly checked before it becomes “heartwarming”.

Edit: my point: don’t just trust them, verify.

Edit: seems to have angered the bill gates boot lickers lol

But could he curl his goatee like jobs? I think not!

It’s crazy good, or you can use the slightly less good chesscom for $49.99 (first month then $69.99).

I love the puzzles on lichess, they are taken from played matchs where a mistake were made and there are literally millions of them of all kind of difficulties and types 💖

Try online chess, we’re all fools over there already.

Godot rocks!

Ha ha nice game!!

Some constructive criticism;

You get accepted into a game, but have to scroll down to find the playground, which is a little mini hassle

You play “the other” sometimes, I thought you always player orange and loled when the cross moved stupidly

The enemy went into himself I think (that should not be possible to do IMO) and I won, but I’m not sure that happened, some visual feedback on why you won would be nice.

Great game I must say!

Yeah but I don’t think anyone of us are going so big that’d be a hassle :-) and it could just be opt in too…

Godot is really good, but it doesn’t distribute your games, right?

We just hit 1.6M votes to “debate” a horrible law that’s in the passing here in France (re-allowing cancerous anti pest substances and more), we should have aimed at the EU level instead!

No but that there are no leftists in Italy because of it. Or do you believe the CIA is killing all the leftist in Italy right now?
