Yup. Though I’ve been pausing more and more lately. The months where I already own the games because I loved them are ones that I can’t blame them for. But there’s been plenty that I just wasn’t interested in.

I’ve played Genshin almost since the start (took a break for a while) and it’s had daily tasks the whole time. You earn gems and other in-game rewards every day for it. There’s also an additional web-based daily checkin as well.

A lot of people see an upvote as a signal that they endorse the message, or at least want it to spread.

A downvote is the opposite of that.

You’ll never convince people not to “shoot the messenger” on link aggregators because it’s antithetical to their view of the system.

Apparently not. I had to click a few pages into their site for this:

“While Eclipse Theia incorporates certain components from Visual Studio Code, such as the Monaco editor, it is independently developed with a modular architecture and is not a fork of VS Code.”

Yeah, moves like this have convinced me that when I get another NAS box, it won’t be from them. It’ll probably built custom instead. After some quick searching, OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS seems like top runners right now. Hopefully it’ll be a while before I have to really consider it, though.

I’ve bought stuff from Temu and without installing the app. I’m sure it recommends installing the app if you tap the ad on a phone, but not on desktop.

Those “former marketing leads” are former for a reason then, I guess. There’s absolutely no way that Nintendo is going to “eat the cost” on this.

For one thing, the Chinese tariffs are more than 100%. They are certainly not going to pay to ship their console.

But they’ve been pretty clear in the past that they aren’t about “loss leaders” and will charge what the console is worth.

They do. You’ll see a lot of hate for DLSS on social media, but if you go to the forums or any newly-released game that doesn’t have DLSS, you’ll find at least one post demanding that they implement it. If it’s on by default, most people don’t ever touch that setting and they’re fine with it.

They shouldn’t, but since the game has been enhanced, there’s a good chance that something will go a little wrong and need a patch. I would actually guess that most of them end up with a patch, but only a few end up with game-breaking bugs and need a patch.

I’m not sure who needs this advice. The game was designed to be played without it, so that’s good.

People that need the feature will use it, of course. For whatever reason.

Everyone else has a choice: Mindless running through the wilds to get where you’re going, sometimes seeing something interesting on the way… Or just letting this thing get you there, without the “follow the white line” minigame.

The people who are going to use this were already using in-game features to do it as much as possible, but with a manual component that irked them. Asking them not to use it isn’t going to improve their game experience.

Anyone who roams without the white line isn’t even in this discussion. They would never use this feature, so the advice doesn’t change their mind at all.

It’s just Rosie the Riveter, as a dragon… For some reason.

It does feel weird to copy something so obviously and use it for a union logo.

I really appreciate the specificity of the headline, rather than the clickbait it could have been.
