I mean I also doubt the director was behind all the bad decisions that led to this. Cause this game started development back when Overwatch 1 came out. It wasn’t an old formula then, it just took too long to come out. That could be the directors fault but from what I’ve heard it was more decisions from corporate to chase new fads like live service and more that ended up delaying it so long and causing it to become dated.
Yep it’ll be the classic thing of the company saves money, doesn’t pass it on to the consumers, and now reports higher profits to make it’s stock price go up.
Personally I think it’s fine to do that. Better that you get that money then either some right wing person who is gonna use it to promote their horrible causes more or some right wing company gets it and does that on a bigger scale.
I think the main worry is an escalation not to a full blown WWIII style full nuclear exchange but to using tactical nukes against Ukraine. We haven’t really seen that used yet and if Putin thinks he might lose this I don’t know if he would decide to do it. And once that precedent is set that you can do that there’s no putting that back away. This isn’t to say that giving them this permission is bad or shouldn’t be done, this is just a risk to consider and would be a risk with any strategy that allows Ukraine to attempt to win the conflict.
You can still get that by just playing very small indie games. There’s tons of small games out there being made by just a handful or even one person that have these kinds of little fun things scattered throughout them. They are harder to find by their nature but that culture is still very much alive in the indie space.
Yeah and the only way technology like this might ever get there is with companies like Google and others gathering even more data from you. Which for most people might not be a problem but I’m guessing for people on here you’d probably not like that.
I think the fact they’re going for a patent suit says they probably think they don’t have enough of an argument for a copyright suit which kind of makes sense. Just because the designs are similar doesn’t mean it’s copyright infringement.
I don’t mind decimals at all, it’s more that I don’t trust companies to actually deal with supporting decimals when making the switch. Plus the last time I discussed this on Lemmy someone was saying that decimals aren’t even universally used and it might depend on what you get whether you get that precision or not. Either way like the main point of my post was anyways these are minor arguments and at the end of the day there isn’t really a reason to use Celsius vs Fahrenheit.
Yeah like the metric system has good arguments for why it’s measurements and weights are better, mainly conversion being easier, but for temperature there really isn’t an argument. I would make an argument for Fahrenheit as it gives more precision without having to use decimals which at least in America isn’t a thing for temperature. But those are pretty minor things and I do tend to agree it comes down to what you grew up with.
It’s also not unique to Germany as well. As an American its crazy how much this just sounds like what’s going on in America with the Democrats slowly shifting to the right on things like immigration. Capitulating to the right wing framing on these issues doesn’t help you win, it just pushes more people to the right since you’re basically saying they’re right.
My problem with it is the whole purpose of what the device does based on the post is stupid. It just puts a notification on the screen as a way to try and use social pressure to get people to stop vaping. But that doesn’t work cause no one really cares if you vape or not. Some people might even think it’s cool or might turn it into a game of trying to vape without setting it off to impress their other friends who vape. I graduated highschool in 2019 and people definitely vaped and the only people they really cared about hiding it from were the teachers, no other students cared at all. So because of all of that this kind of device is just a waste of money that could be better spent on educating kids on how vaping is bad, just like what we did for cigarettes that worked so well.
I don’t see it by default on Sync but if I go into the menu and click view image then the alt text is there.
Pretty sure it’s cause they did it without the original people (or person, not sure how many) who did the code. And so what ends up happening is the new people come in, don’t understand why things were made the way they were, and try to rework stuff to be better. Whether it actually is needed or not is a different question but either way reworking large parts of your code is bound to lead to bugs and problems.
I think in that case it makes sense to knock but in most cases if I see a single use bathrooms with the little occupied in red or vacant in green lock indicator on it I’m just gonna assume it’s free if it’s not locked and open it. I haven’t been burned by that yet because in most situations people will lock them when using them.
Fair enough, I forgot it didn’t launch with the world Congress stuff. It has enough other new stuff and a bunch of features from Civ 5 that at least for me it made up for that being left behind at first.
Eh I don’t really count civs I guess. I was just counting features like religion and stuff like that. The civs are usually pretty cheap and they don’t really change the game that much.
I don’t think they really do that. I remember Civ 6 launching with everything 5 had as DLC in base game and the DLCs added new things 5 didn’t have.
I’m pretty sure this is just an idea they took from Humankind, another Civilization like game that came out a bit ago.
Is there really any period in American history that isn’t at least a bit anti-union?
What are you even talking about? They are making concrete demands, one of them being an arms embargo which Kamala has said won’t happen. The way a deal works is if the other side doesn’t accept your offer you don’t just cave and perform your side of the bargain. And judging by the fact that Kamala hasn’t proposed anything other than the same vague support for a ceasefire Biden has shown they haven’t even tried to push for anything else that might satisfy this constituency.
