So… anybody else have to read that title a second time because they missed a letter?

You can try garlic infused olive oil

Nintendo issued an apology in 2020 over the issue, but argued that players who purchased the items were bound by the user agreement of the Nintendo Switch and thus ineligible to participate in a class action lawsuit against the company.

I’m not a lawyer, but this seems suspicious. How would this work? If I purchase a product in a retail store, where exactly would I sign something agreeing to give up my eligibility to participate in a class action suit? Are they trying to argue that linking the hardware to your account carries over the restriction to any hardware used?

Exactly. Win customers over by providing a better experience that makes people want to use your platform over a competitor, not because they’re forced to

That’s not a money reason or a store related reason. That’s really on the developer. Mac is a different architecture. Often times Mac versions require extra development.

Linux is gaining more ground not because of a store or the developers themselves, but because Proton makes the windows versions of games run on Linux.

My argument was about exclusivity deals, not technical compatibility.

Yes, I do realize the money goes to the same place. My argument is not that Epic should go bankrupt. My argument is that I don’t want to encourage or support the Epic Store.

“vote with your wallet” - my vote says I approve of unreal but disapprove of epic store.

Okay?

2 wrongs don’t make a right. That said, Microsoft does this much less frequently than Epic and mostly just with first party games.

Here’s a list of Microsoft Store exclusives. I don’t see a whole lot of triple A games on there.

Starfield was on Steam at launch, as was Halo Infinite. Microsoft has been moving away from exclusivity. But how dare they keep Solitaire all to themselves, right?

I meant I don’t want to give the Epic Store a dime.

Yep. Heard great things about the game, but I’m waiting till it’s on steam to get it. I refuse to give Epic a dime. Exclusivity deals hurt consumers.

I don’t have Virgin Media Hub, but my pihole has been configured as the DHCP server for years.

The PI’s Lan cable is connected directly to the router, so connectivity isn’t an issue. I rarely restart it except for routine maintenance, but yes if the PiHole goes down, then everything starts to throw connection errors. This is expected. If the router was the DHCP server and the router goes down, then you would also lose internet.

However, since it’s separate from the router, if you ever do need to take it offline, you can always explicitly set the IP configuration on a computer to bypass the pihole temporarily.

I really hope that was a typo and they meant AND a payment of $15k because someone who posted $200k bail shouldn’t have a problem finding $15k to get out of a murder charge.

Embracer’s deal with Beacon covers 3D Realms,…

TIL 3D Realms still exists

How else is it pronounced?

One other thing to add: permanent residency is issued at the province level.

If you’re planning to move here permanently and don’t speak French, don’t move anywhere in Quebec. It’s the only province that requires French language competency for permanent residency. In other provinces, you can acquire PR with just English.

Kinda looks like an Ood from Doctor Who

The funniest example of this being the development of COVID vaccines

I disagree. The funniest example of Trump never admitting he’s wrong is definitely the Four Seasons Landscaping press release.

In Canada and the UK, if the government fails to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic vote of no confidence, parliament is dissolved, and it triggers a general election.

US politicians do not suffer any consequences for failing to do their job.

BG3 is based on the DnD 5e system, with some homebrew rules. Items have different tiers of rarity. While there may only be one in existence in this game, it’s not a unique item in Torril at large in the context of the Forgotten Realms.

I’m not saying that your idea is wrong. It makes sense in the context of this specific game. I’m just pointing out why it is how it is right now.

I second the Museum of Science! It’s a lot of fun.
