Just like Windows it’s absolutely fine if you never used an alternative. But if you used something else it becomes apparent how much better Teams could be if they just focused on the key features instead of trying to cram in every AI-powered garbage product owned by Microsoft no one actually wants to use.
(Of course this isn’t the fault of the lead developer, but I guess that is besides the point for this meme)
Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness is a slightly obscure CRPG from Hungary / Austria
Coridden is a very unique ARPG from Sweden
If you are willing to slightly stretch your definition of european you can also get the IMO best two CRPGs on the market Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader from Owlcat which have their headquarter in Cyprus, but if I understand correctly most of the actual development happens in Armenia.
I just made sure to buy a motherboard that allows disabling secure boot in the BIOS.
More importantly: I no longer support Microsoft
Their niche doesn’t include humans, even little ones. That makes them more suitable as a pet, even if they are better at killing their prey than dogs.
That is true, Typescript and JavaScript look easier. And heck if all you want to do is make the money dance on your web page it really is easier.
But writing actual application? That does actual work with error handling? Hell, no. It honestly baffles me that anyone would use JavaScript of their own free will, unless that’s the only language you know.
Easy to make? Have you worked with JavaScript before? It’s an absolute mess and full of footguns.
And I assume your project doesn’t use async code for shits and giggles? Async code is just as hard in JavaScript except that everything is single threaded anyway.
And even assuming that it really is easier to make: I’d rather have fewer well made applications than hundreds of crappy ones. Each fucking application having to redistribute a whole ass browser is insane, and they’re all slow despite needing massive resources.
A different mythic part can alter your experience considerably, nevertheless i would recommend playing something else for a bit before returning to avoid burning out.
Kingmaker is a good option, although you’ll find that it’s a bit less polished than WotR. On top of that the final dungeon extremely tedious, you fight the same composition of creatures over and over again in an extremely confusing map, that part of the game is just not fun. And being on Luna you AFAIK can’t install mods that make this part of the game less un-fun. Overall if you loved WotR you’ll at least like kingmaker.
Looking forward in Owlcat’s lineup, I liked Rogue Trader even more than WotR.
Other good options are the older Obsidian games: Both Pillars of Eternity games and especially Tyranny if you haven’t played those already.
If you already played through those, maybe look at the 3 Shadowrun games, they are a bit niche and the RPG system in use is kinda quirky but I had a blast with them.
(I have no idea which of these recommendations are available on Amazon Luna in your region)
Not really relevant for an iPad, but it’s a good example:
Have you ever tried putting a custom ringtone on an iPhone?
In Android you just put an audio file in the ringtones folder, either by plugging it into a pc or with an on-device file manager.
For an iPhone you need to either buy the ringtone from the store or put it on the device through iTunes (🤮). Also it can’t be just any format. It needs to be a specific profile of AAC (if I remember correctly), then rename the file to have a specific extension. There is no way you could do all that without reading a guide.
Here’s how it works in countries that are not dystopian hellscapes:
You tell your boss “I’ll be at the doctor’s on Tuesday from 08:30 to about 11:00.”
You go to the doctor and pick up a paper from the receptionist when you leave that confirms the hours you were there.
You go back to your job and hand HR the paper, they put the hours into the system.
The time you spent at the doctor’s office as well as the time you spent going there counts as work time.
This works the same for other things like getting your passport renewed or school events that parents should attend.
If the system in your country is worse in any way you should probably fight to improve it, or get out of there as fast as you can.
I hope you’re right. I’m future proofing anyway by preferring DRM-free stores when possible.
Sure that’s reasonable at the moment. And while it seems Gaben would never sell out, he is going to die at some point. What’s going to happen to steam / valve after that?
GOG enabled regional pricing several years ago.
Personally I enjoy the complicated character building of Grim Dawn way more than the item hunting. This also means I will play a host of characters and eventually complete item sets and have the resources for crafting after half-completed character number 86. For me the grinding is mostly a test on the efficiency of my build.
Maybe look into Warhammer: Chaosbane. It has a point system that superficialy looks similar to Grim Dawns devotions or Path of Exile, but in reality it’s super simple. And while you do collect items, they don’t matter as much as in other ARPGs. The flip side is that it’s kinda hard to fail because the game is so simple.
Pro Tip: A vacation + going to a concert there may be cheaper depending on the band.
Maybe it’s just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI
Coppelius is absolutely awesome. You get a theater-like show while they play headbanger after headbanger. Understanding German is a must though.
It’s not just that characters make stupid decisions, the same characters keep making the same mistakes and nobody ever learns from those mistakes or grows as a character. It’s so extremely frustrating.
There are like 20 different calculator apps on F-Droid, ranging from basic to scientific. There’s plenty of instances where the dystopia screws you, calculators ain’t one of them.
How do you propose GOG should handle forever support for a nearly endless number of shovelware games? Preservation is more than offering the downloads, the games also need to run on systems people actually have.
As far as I can tell they are fullfilling all their marketing promises by taking charge of updating games when developers stop doing so. I wish they would do that for the Linux versions as well as the windows versions, but it’s absolutely better than nothing.
