Metro Exodus was like 5 bucks just a few months after launch. Since it’s the sequel to a very successful series, I have to imagine it did terrible.

Edit: Nope. It was one of the best selling games of all time.

Oh, yeah, already did it. I was more so speaking to the experience a regular user would get out of the box.

Honestly, I don’t get the hate of Windows 11. Sure, compatibility is a shitshow but if you can install it, it’s better than W10. I updated a couple months back and was pleasantly surprised. Things I like:

• Improved tiling
• The new terminal app is actually usable.
• More consistent theming
• Settings menu is no longer useless
• Last two points combined result in me not getting flashbanged nearly as often as I did in W10
• Improved volume mixer. I even ditched EarTrumpet.
• Most people won’t care about this one, but the little pop-ups that appear when you hover an icon in the system tray don’t get stuck in your screen as much as they did in W10.

Things that got worse:

• The start menu. Seriously. Stop with the redesigns.
• Taskbar is no longer movable. I liked it on the left.
• They hid the right click menu under an additional “More options” menu for some reason

Disclaimer: I only use my Windows computer for playing games. I do all of my regular day to day computing on my laptop with Fedora (KDE spin because I’m not a godless heathen I like it better). I’m also running the Education version, which is basically Enterprise so I have feature updates straight up turned off and only get security updates. It also doesn’t have any ads but my ROG Ally has W11 Home and it doesn’t have any ads either, so I don’t even know what’s real anymore.

And 1 copy is also less than 2 copies.

So you were always like this.

Why would I swap a game for my friend to try it out when the next sale will probably happen in a couple of weeks? Literally yesterday I bought The Master Chief collection for a fiend for 10 USD. The second-hand market only really applies to anti-consumer companies like Nintendo where several years old games still retail for launch price.

It works on the honor system, which is just a fancy way of saying it doesn’t. Mainly because nobody wants it. Turns out reselling, as a concept, doesn’t really make sense when games go on sale all the time.

GOG’s EULA allows you to legally transfer any games as long as you destroy all not transferred copies.

You can if it’s DRM-free.

I’m honestly not interested in 23andMe so I never bothered to fact-check so take this with a massive grain of salt but I did watch Linus (from TechTips, not Linux) rant about the privacy problems it has. I don’t trust him about these things but I’ve also watched him rant in favor of letting the spyware consumer features of Windows stay on because they’re so great and it’s not that big of a deal, so 23andMe has to be doing something very, very wrong.

I just tell people “don’t swipe unless you wanna see my dick” and that usually does it.

My insurance covers me for up to 7 million dollars and it’s like 1500 a year. How is a movie star not insured?

Just read the article. Well, that’s 100% a clickbait title.

Yeah, the fact that everyone’s fighting for physical media instead of DRM-free makes me skeptical that the argument is anything more than muh pretty box

I know a Kal-El. His mom just thinks it’s a cute name and has no idea where it came from so I’m sure his dad is the culprit.

What even are physical games in this day and age? Sure, you can buy a disk but if you still need to download a zero day patch that takes approximately a buttload of time to finish before you can actually start playing, then it isn’t a physical game. Don’t even get me started on Nintendo’s links in a box. Perhaps we should start calling them physical DRM.

They get paid by the word.

Does LinkedIn count? If it does, I know a millennial who has all of these.

Too soft. You should not be able to own a house in which you’re not gonna live at least 6 months and 1 day per year. Period.

There’s a bunch of context missing from this. Did he tell her hey, I know a cool way we can get free McNuggets? Or did he just ask her out, took her to McDonald’s and randomly pulled out a laptop with android emulators to get free McNuggets? Context matters a lot.

If it’s the second one, it’s giving me these vibes: :

Cinnamon is way more resource hogging than KDE.
