The problem with DA2 was that it was a decent game but a bad sequel. I’ve come to appreciate it but when I first played it I was incredibly disappointed. I did not want a personal narrative, I wanted freedom to role-play.
Legally it’s still a licence.
As yet another 30-something year old I’ve never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?
As another 90s kid that watched the prequels in theatres as they came out: I enjoyed the originals, even though I was only about half your age at the time. Probably worth noting that my mum made sure that I watched the original trilogy before Phantom Menace. And I’m sorry but the acting in the PT is supposed to be better than in the OT? What? No. Nothing against the actors because a lot of it was due to writing (especially for Anakin and Padmé’s shared scenes, especially especially in II where Anakin is such a fucking creep) and direction, but no.
Around 15% here in Germany. That’s more than I expected, but it isn’t mainstream. At least not in the sense that people will expect MacOS behaviour by default on their computers, or even to the point where you can expect familiarity with MacOS from most users.
We clearly live in different bubbles because this is the first time I’ve seen someone refer to MacOS as “very mainstream”. iOS, sure, but I haven’t seen many Macs out in the wild. It’s certainly not common to the point where people would expect MacOS behaviour as the default.
Fair. It still should be communicated better though, because it really does feel like a bug when you first encounter it.
Yeah. It’s one of those things where I’m sure it’s genuinely useful to some people but why on Earth is it on by default?!
Another issue was that Vista had very steep system requirements, which Microsoft deliberately understated. As a result it ran like shit on a ton of machines despite them technically meeting the requirements.
And it worked. Try finding any professional art/design jobs that don’t use Adobe.
I don’t think you can lump Endeavour and Garuda together. Yes, they’re both based on Arch but Endeavours basically is Arch with a GUI installer and sane defaults while Garuda changes a ton of things and adds a ton of customisations that make it very different from a plain Arch (or Endeavour) system.
Aren’t those still made from steel? There should be nothing preventing you(r friend) from sharpening them.
That’s the issue with online advertising in a nutshell, isn’t it.
My issue isn’t that it’s breaking sites. It’s the fingerprint resistance making the basic user experience unpleasant. Refusing to remember window size, forcing light mode, etc. I understand why, but those aren’t sacrifices I’m willing to make.
Firefox. Librewolf’s defaults make it very inconvenient to use as a normal, day to day web browser. You can obviously change all of that but at that point you might as well just use Firefox with a handful of add-ons so that’s what I’m doing.
Which isn’t necessarily an issue if your goal is to hit somewhere in a line of charging infantry. Why you wouldn’t just use canister shot is beyond me, but accuracy isn’t much of an issue if your target is an entire enemy formation.
Brutalism is brutalism for capitalism. It was a highly influential architectural movement on both sides of the iron curtain (and I’m pretty sure it got started in capitalist France).
Looking at it from the outside it doesn’t look like a failure at all, it provides the prison industrial complex with an endless stream of slaves cheap prison labour. If we assume that that’s the actual goal, it’s a resounding success.
I’m sorry but (all other issues with the scene aside) pretending that performative “apologies” are a good thing actually is genuinely problematic. Performative apologies are inherently manipulative by drawing attention away from the thing you’re apologising for and by being designed to be an effort that feels bad to reject.
