If they don't want honest people considering it, maybe they shouldn't raise the price by 80% in a single price change.

I paid for YouTube premium when it was first available. They guaranteed the price would never change as I was a first adopter. Then they did. Then they did it again. And then again.

Google can fuck off. They have all the money in the world and they need to extort the people who helped grow their business.

I use ProtonVPN. They don't use IPv6, so neither do I.

Thanks! I'm cured!

Even this is a stretch to be honest. Their games aren't easy to mod. Minor updates break shit. You need to consider mod load order. You need to "clean" the base files before loading in any big mods.

Their games are made of fucking speghetti code and they don't care. They could fix it, but they don't. They could clean their own base game files so this isn't necessary, but they would rather force people into the ecosystems of Creation Club.

This is one point I contend with: Fallout 76 didn't become good with patches. I'm not unconvinced that there's a conspiracy for Bethesda to create the impression online that the game became good with updates.

That's just me though.

Thank you...

Smegger...

How pungently insightful.

There are some films I enjoy which are objectively bad, and that's okay.

If people want to enjoy Bethesda games, it's fine, each to their own.

However, if you want to talk about game design, there is a lot of evidence which supports the claim that Bethesda don't know what makes a (objectively) good game anymore.

Unfortunately, Bethesda are the only ones in town who are capitalising on "Bethesda style games". (With the exception of a few, like The Outer Worlds, and Cyberpunk 2077).

Bethesda's strong suit is their physical world building - but everything else has been getting worse.

The running joke is that the players mod the game to fix after launch. Except it's not a joke, and it's really not funny when the devs actually expect the community to fix their game. They could simply pay someone to implement every single fix from the UFO4P and UESSP, but choose not to. They do not care about quality.

Who cares? Bethesda is long past the point of developing a good game.

They could take all the time in the world and it would still be shit because their formula for game development is pathetic.

Do some people use 21 day months or something? What am I missing?

I meant as a playable character.

Also, no, I didn't play it lol. My last Assassins Creed game was Black Flag

I don't think Ubi went "woke" but it does seem kinda disrespectful IMO.

Imagine if in Assassins Creed Origins, the ~~main~~ playable character was white. There would be an uproar.

For what Assassins Creed is worth (and it isn't a lot, and hasn't been for a long time), the stories are about the history of the country, as much as the people within it.

To take the perspective away from a native citizen betrays that intent. If Ubi wanted a "fish out of water" character, they should have continued to elaborate on Desmond's story.

What does woke mean?

 

The city I live in, Port Macquarie, has awful cell phone reception basically everywhere (I'm on the Vodafone network).

Is this something I can bring up with the local council, or elected representative?

I can't believe I live in a city of 50,000 people and I'm unable to receive phone calls from my house.

 

I'm having trouble understanding all the benefits of BTRFS and how they'll apply to me.

Copy on Write and auto-compression seem like they will free up a bit of space.

What other practical benefits will I see from using BTRFS? Are there any noticeable performance benefits?

I use my computer to dual-boot. I don't need snapshots because I have a custom script for a fresh install. I use my PC for gaming and work. I've got an NVMe, two SSD's and one HDD.

Thanks in advance!

 
 

Right now we've got share, bookmark, upvote and down vote.

But I share and bookmark less than I block communities (curating my feed), and hide posts (so I can refresh without scrolling past the same stuff).

The latter two are in the extras menu. It would be great if I could swap these buttons.

Thanks for all your work! This is my favourite Lemmy app!

 

One of the most annoying parts about That Place, and also Lemmy, is curating your feed by blocking communities you have no interest in seeing.

I am not a sports person, so I need to block each sports team manually when I see it, and also each individual sport. It would be so much better if I could just block an instance called "Lemmy.sports".

I know it's too late to change at this point, but I think a feature to catagorise different communities would be nice, so I could block "sports" if I wanted to.
