For me it’s not the time spent at the checkout that matters, it’s the time spent waiting at the checkout. Also over here cashiers don’t bag your items for you, so you have to do that anyway
Also also, they have these really handy hand scanners over here so I can already bag my items while I’m walking through the store, and then the only thing I have to do at self-checkout is hand in the scanner and pay for the groceries. That is genuinely a lot faster than normal cash register shenanigans.
Spheres of Chaos is an old asteroids based game that really ups the ante on trippyness and cool sounds
I should warn you though that it is very flashy, so epilepsy warning is in order
Honestly all of the mysims games I played were the shit when I was a child. Don’t know what I would thing about them today though but
Yeah if you play ssf you sidestep these problems entirely and then the only problem you might have is simply just inventory management (which also only comes up in the lategame)
You can easily get through PoE1’s main campaign without paying a dime
Someone also posted a video of them essentially getting through the “midgame” of path of exile in 24 hours without paying as well https://youtu.be/JeIDCxQhZM4
However, during that midgame he shows that he really starts having trouble with the lack of stash tabs for trading. It’s doable, but that’s kind of where you start hitting your limits
All in all, if you play for the main campaign it’s essentially just a free game, and if you play without trading the game is still designed to be somewhat doable. Really the only thing you miss out on is trading
Very cool!
I think the greenery in these pictures is doing quite a bit of lifting. Brutalist buildings without plants are less fun to look at
What’s a spider georg
Count this comment as irrelevant if you will, but I think one of the biggest missed opportunities of EGS is mod support. They have this world-class game engine, and they do so little with it. Maybe it is because of Unreal Tournament 4 failing to take off. Maybe they think just hamfisting a bunch of this modding stuff into Fortnite is all they need, but still I feel like the EGS version of the steam workshop is an open goal. Hell, with the money they’re saving from pawning off Bandcamp you can even buy off mod.io to get support for virtually no work at all. Like why hasn’t this happened yet?
Isn’t there usually a yellow pop-up on the top of the screen showing microphone and webcam controls if they are active? I think that’s how you control it. Now this isn’t per-tab control, but it’s better than no control at all I guess
Whatever metric they use to track installs has to prevent abuse like this
I would be eagerly awaiting a follow-up response from unity from this, because as it stands right now, consensus among gamedev circles is that unity won’t prevent abuse at all, which is just awful for multiple groups of people.
Idk I don’t tend to look at the clock when I fall asleep, but I do know that whenever I accidentally fall asleep while watching, say, a PBS spacetime video, I pass out for no less then about an hour
Also I have no clue how the other people here figure out how long it takes them to go to sleep, because as far as I know, looking at the clock just keeps you awake for longer
I just embrace impermanence. Fediverse is not much other than some other person’s server, and if the instance owner decides he doesn’t want to host his instance anymore, you’re just gonna have to cut your losses and move somewhere else. It’s not as if the entirety of Lemmy is gonna stop existing at once.
The real threat to Lemmy’s existence is the maintenance of the software. If that stops, there are 2 options, either someone forks it, or the medium slowly dies out as no one feels like hosting outdated software anymore.
In that case (which, might I add, is unlikely to happen), you’re gonna have to cut your losses, and move to a different type of social media
Even worse is when the bash script you downloaded is only there to do some uname checks and then download and execute more code from the internet
I know 5 year old me would have a little trouble sleeping from some of the sounds (example when you pick up an orb) coming from noita, never mind the occasional worm or kummitus jumpscare
Yes but actually not by much, [email protected] has 37.7k subscribers, which is their biggest community
Death by:
IIRC their reason was world got pretty big (still is) and spam was coming to the instance. So beehaw decided to defederate until world solved their spam problem. However, as they say, “out of sight, out of mind” so beehaw may just forget about refederating world if they do fix the spam. Who knows
Yeah isn’t this like the thing that California required them to do?
