Anyone with good media equipment cares when they consider purchasing a game. Nobody needs this info every time they launch it.

You can try, but people won’t be as thrilled for TES or Fallout without Bethesda, for example.

I live in one of the grey countries. You can create an account, but Sony offers different stores in different countries, so you have to pick another country. They even sells consoles in many of the grey countries. The biggest issue is that you probably won’t be able to buy anything without extra hustle because your card is not issued in the country of your PSN account. Also, this is technically against their ToS. But you can create an account to play Helldivers 2.

With that said, I can’t speak for all countries. Maybe somewhere it’s really impossible to create an account without VPN.

And that’s why they can afford investing in VR and in games like HL: Alyx. I enjoyed it very, very much.

And a helicopter.

My Raspberry Pi is named ‘raspberrypi’. I’m very creative.

Or use their API, you can filter by timestamp here https://miniflux.app/docs/api.html#endpoint-get-entries or get counters here https://miniflux.app/docs/api.html#endpoint-counters

You have to conquer areas of the city to proceed with the story. You go to some place like a factory, kill everyone, leave, a boss of the factory becomes alerted, comes to the factory, you go back and kill everyone again to get to the boss, kill or hire the boss. And that’s like 80% of the game. I think there were 20-30 repetitive missions like that with 0 substance. But Mafia I and Mafia II are fully focused on the story.

I get the sense that a lot of people here don’t use MacOS.

I wish that was true.

I mean, you and I known MS could simply ask…

No.

That’s the best known case, but it’s not limited to organ donation of course.

they want that slide that says x many million users of Copilot…

I didn’t argue with that.

No, because most people stick with the default option regardless.

Ultimately, most people stay with the default option, that’s why they have to be aggressive. Look at the amount of screenshots even in advanced PC communities with ugly useless search bar enabled, which is taking 1/3 of the taskbar. I’m not even speaking about casual users who have no idea that it can be disabled.

Isn’t this one made by Ubisoft?

Or you can explain it to a SO

Or you can ask on SO. Then close it with “nvm, fixed”.

Usually it means you’re doing something terribly wrong.

Because there’s no “Germany” in this movement. Different lands, different governments, different offices, etc.

Well of course, my screens are in front of me.

The hate for successful people here is ridiculous. Neither Discord nor its investors owe you a world-class service with private servers, video calls, screen sharing, voice calls, and many other features for free. The market operates on mutual benefit: you get the service, and the owners get the money. Those who complain about businesses aiming to be profitable are lunatics.

Investors, who made Discord possible, want to earn money. It’s totally understandable.
