I wanted a name that was shorter, easier to understand and more recognisable.
As a fellow tech worker, I agree. Probably most tech workers would agree, but since that's boring, this article focuses on the opinion of just "some tech workers on social media". So dumb.
I'm OOTL. What's the icon on the right?
Oh wow I didn't even know that was a thing. Yeah you're right that does sound worse.
I hate MTX, lootboxes, and battle passes, but I cannot imagine that they'll go away unless it's to replace them with something even worse.
I don't know if this counts as a constant, but I read that time moved something like 5 times slower in the early years of the universe.
the judge ensures that it is clear that Microsoft’s intention is to bring the Call of Duty saga, and the rest of Activision’s content, to a greater number of consumers.
How can a judge be so naive?
Wow, I thought the days of streamers receiving huge contracts to join a platform were over. I’m sure having xQc streaming on Kick will be beneficial, but is it really $70 million beneficial? Facebook and Youtube have both paid a ton of money to get big streamers from twitch, but I don’t feel like that moved the needle much.
I've played a lot of WoW in the past, but I stopped in early legion. I started playing again when Dragonflight launched, but I stopped again just a few weeks ago - in part because I can't bring myself to grind anymore.
The endgame is fundamentally the same. You pvp, raid, and/or do M+, to grind for gear, and that's pretty much it. I don't do pvp, but I've heard the grind for pvp gear isn't bad. Raids and M+ are still quite grindy though, and for better or worse they're still pretty tightly coupled. If you want to play one at a high level, you'll have to participate in the other.
Personally I've never felt like recycled content was an issue in WoW, but since you brought it up, I'll mention that they're reusing old dungeons for M+ now. There are still 8 new dungeons, but each M+ season now uses 4 dungeons from the current expansion + 4 dungeons from an older expansion so that people aren't just spamming the same 8 dungeons for the entire expansion.
If you want a game that respects your time, my suggestion is to look elsewhere - especially if you're interested in raiding. They've made some progress in Dragonflight I think, but raiding at a not-casual level still takes way more time than it did pre-legion.
Yeah, same here. Apparently this has been an issue for quite some time, but it seems there has been a bit of progress lately. You can launch steam with a forcedesktopscaling
arg to scale the ui like this:
steam -forcedesktopscaling 1.25
Some people in the github issue thread have reported issues like crashing and an oversized overlay though. See: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5908
This happens to me if I get distracted and start thinking about something else while I’m reading. I think it’s normal, and I’ve read a lot of people experience this same thing.
The problem is DDoS attacks. See: https://lemmy.world/post/2923697
