Critical mistake thinking paywall is pay to win. There is a difference, one is locked, the other can open their wallets but don’t have to, but can. Any type of advantage that can be bought with money IS pay to win. The key word is advantage and can be applied to any view point, like ‘skipping’ and ‘easier’. A person that pays will always be ahead of a person that doesn’t, hence paying to win.
I mean, if you are trying to argue against this means you probably wouldn’t mind buying premium bullets in a video game, like a CEO, John Riccitiello, suggested. Premium bullets would be very convenient and make killing players easier! You wouldn’t need to grind levels as long with those boosts!
Rule of thumb is to ask: would paying allow me to finish the game faster? Yes means pay to win.
Warframe is the most p2w game I have ever played, and I don’t understand how people can say otherwise. Imagine you could buy the best pve gear in a mmo like WoW instead of grinding out raids. Warframe is this and then some. Resources? You can buy that. Skip crafting times? Yes. Buy boosters to shorten leveling and item acquisition? Definitely multiple versions. And the game still creates problems and sells the solution, the classic monetization of inventory space.
The game is very good, has an amazing story, and the movement system is the best, but it’s extreme p2w if you want it to be. At its core, It is a very grindy looter shooter which is severely monetized.
Some thing needs to keep the court in check and remove the bad apples.
I play it a little from time to time and it’s gets boring quick. Doing the same meta events uncountable amount of times isn’t exciting. Also the lack of RPG progression has drawbacks, but great for casuals. The power creep is just buffing classes, some can generate all the boons in the game. Adding new maps every expansion/update spreads out the player base, an old mmo problem, making the game look more dead than in the past.
Even on windows 10, Onedrive uploaded random crap you don’t want and then yells at you that the space is full and buy a subscription. It has to be the worst cloud service of them all because of the bullshit integration. It was easier to disable and remove it than to work with it.
Doctors are people too and can make mistakes, but they are highly educated (hopefully through accreditation) and depending how long they have been in practice, experienced. That being said, online educational sources can help get you started if you suspect something is wrong, but don’t try to do a doctor’s work from online research. This includes asking Lemmy/reddit advice.
I don’t know about your medical or financial situation, but maybe look into talking to a therapist to vent. They are paid to listen and give advice that could help. Venting is better than bottling up.
Steam reviews should be a good place to read about it. Despite what people may say about steam reviews (jokes and brigading), it’s still a good source of info.
Second time… as if the punishment didn’t deter them.
Maybe it’s just me but I prefer bezels, like the Sony phones still have a nice border and no front camera cut out.
Sad to see. Feels like Lemmy has no bright future with people in charge of it thinking russia’s and China’s government is good and ban difference of thoughts, opinions, and beliefs.
OP wants no control of his eyes and computer and wants to give that control to corpos.
In my opinion, there is no democracy without the public being able to protest. If the powers that be are not making decisions or actions of the people, for the people, how are they to know how upset they are; unless the powers don’t care and send tanks or armed forces to squash disgruntled protesters.
Even if you disagree with the protesters, you should allow them to voice their grievances publicly, otherwise you don’t actually want a democracy, imo. I see so many uncaring takes or indifferent takes, it’s the silent insidious part of humanity, like a cop watching a crime happen but don’t want to get involved.
I tried Kate on Linux, and didn’t see that. I’ll look into it again. Thanks for the tip.
I have no clue what it would take to make a Linux version, way over my head haha
I’m so ready for something like this. I’ve cleaned up my bookmarks and been waiting for alternatives to search engines.
I prefer the name Burma, idk why.
I’ll try this next, thanks for the info.
From the lack of reaction to how big this change is, too many are not concerned IMO.
