Idk, their post history looks super weird
This is all wrong.
- 1000 hours: If you have a day job and only play a medium amount, I’d say 3 hours with 3 days a week it’d take 2 years to reach 1000 hours. That’s about the time an expansion pack comes out and there’s new stuff to do.
- You have to grind: Okay, that’s no question. (Being born into a rich family is cheating)
- Your skills improve slowly: It wouldn’t be fun otherwise
- You realise you messed up picking your class and perks: In better RPGs you can change that
- You couldn’t choose your backstory at all: Not the same, you can do that IRL, in RPGs there’s a story for a reason
- The gameplay is starting to get boring: You’re playing the wrong MMOs
- You can’t do anything without elixirs anymore: Is this meant to be coffee? Many people can go with their lives without caffeine. If it’s about alcohol or drugs, there’s something seriously wrong
- People are already leaving this server: The closest analogy would be moving from one country to another. Not impossible but isn’t meant to be easy either, just like in games
- The end-game content feels unattainable: What’d be the closest analogy IRL? For example, hobbies aren’t unattainable, what else should be end-game?
- You’ve accumulated a lot of “inventory” that you rarely use: Skill issue
- In-game currency is harder to come by than it should be: True a certain extent - like in all places the economy varies from server to server
- 1000 hours: If you have a day job and only play a medium amount, I’d say 3 hours with 3 days a week it’d take 2 years to reach 1000 hours. That’s about the time an expansion pack comes out and there’s new stuff to do.
tried to out dick-wave each other for years wasting hundreds of billions of dollars and cratering their in-house teams
while totally wasting power and our environment
Trump reading this as: “Canada won’t be on sale forever”
No, this is the peak microwave from 1997
outstanding reference
Why the fuck false advertising is in quotes?
I just couldn’t get used to how the UI of Darktable works. Rawtherapee is somewhat nice, usable at least. I’ll check out digikam, I do have a problem with organisation.
Either a rent ceiling for a given size, or max % of a raise per year
Of course the US does DST several weeks later than the rest of the world
As with most enterprise offerings: If you have to ask it’s not for you
Has it been abandoned?
Yeah, next year they’ll go after NFTs then a year after that they’ll all in for AI.
That’s actually already a thing: https://www.theregister.com/2022/08/15/sony_launches_forgeryproof_incamera_digital/
but what happens when Trump decides in 6 months to stop shipping engines and engine parts and software updates and encryption keys
Soon we’ll return to what was when Microsoft had a separate Windows NT 4 High Encryption release
Web engine development is more costly than even OS development
Unfortunately, many applications that used to be desktop applications in the past are now programs that run in the web browser. It doesn’t matter anymore if they are a lot less effective than being native.
we’re talking costs that often run into the hundreds of millions per year – it’s virtually impossible to fund unless you’re a giant
That is the problem - the web needs to be a lot simpler, browser development should cost fractions of that. It got unnecessarily, absurdly complex.
overcooked pasta
Al DenteAh, so Al Dante
It’s a full rewrite in Rust, with no direct relation to the old program.
