I’m not that old, but time is flying at me, and in my experience it’s that older people don’t have the same time options and skill level to “git gud” at newer games and that just makes online games less fun for some of us. So single player games we can take our time on and finish without somebody in the headset barking at us. I really prefer things like Fortnite STW these days, I can log in and choose to pair up with others or go it alone and I have the option to choose my difficulty level with the different biomes.

It’s ok, one day Gen Beta will be the same way with the Z’s, it’s the circle of life.

I still play online some, but I’ve come to the conclusion I’m not great at it and never will be and I’m ok with that.

There have been posts on X/Twitter/Nitter and some Discords that some of the Mod-Menus have bypassed the anti-cheat, which makes all of this crappy for Deck players.

JK Rowling doesn’t believe Transgender people are the sex they identify with and as such is labeled a TERF, Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist, and many, especially on the internet believe she should be boycotted and no self respecting person would give her or her properties any money. You typically will see some form of that comment in most postings related to her or Harry Potter.

lol, that does seem to be how things work out sometimes.

It may be a coincidence but to make it start working I switched my default feed from local to subscribed, and then suddenly it was working.

Thanks for the work you put into this, as somebody who came over from Kbin it’s a wonderful thing to see.

I don’t want to add to your workload but on the Tesseract interface, the homepage gives me a “500 error filed to fetch that page” and has an error when I go to communities saying they aren’t known to the instance. It could be a me error, but I tried on two different devices.

EDIT: It really could have been a me error, now it appears to be working, sorry to rain on your parade.

What’s their policy when someone buys one of these systems from one of these dickheads?

Most likely their policy is the same as the one Microsoft has for their games and consoles. Microsoft once told me, we’re sorry you purchased a banned console but banned consoles cannot be unblocked, buy a new one next time.

I still burn CDs… my ancient vehicle has a multi-disc changer and doesn’t require my phone to be on, so I like having the best quality I can get before I do the burning.

I was already wary of the change from 2D to 3D, then they had a couple of delays and now the main dev is bouncing just before the supposed release, it all looks really bad. This seems to be a wait a year or two and see if Paradox sorts it out kind of title.

They should have taken the lumps on release when they couldn’t keep up with the demand to play and kept the Sony login requirement. It was there on day one but people couldn’t get in to make accounts so they suspended it. That was a mistake if this was going to be mandatory in the end. They also really screwed up by releasing the game in regions that don’t have PSN, how did that even happen is the big question I want to know.

On the other hand, waving it and allowing people to play it without the 3rd party requirement also showed it’s a crappy requirement that doesn’t seem to do much other than annoy people to allow Sony to collect data. Sony also looks like assholes by changing their web page from “login is optional to play Sony titles on PC” to “some games require login.”

Disclaimer here, I have a PSN account because I’ve owned multiple past Sony consoles so I’m not really affected so much, they already lost and sold my data multiple times. For everybody else, I get why they are pissed.

I would say that depends on a person’s situation, sitting behind a computer in America and seeing things that go bad, it’s easy for me to see them as dysfunctional. If I were sitting in Darfur or Sudan starving to death and they managed to get a convoy of food to my location, I’d probably see them as making life better even if I’m not happy with some of them doing bad things.

I guess it’s I think too often they tend to do things in a way that is less than efficient. Not being party to the myriad of laws they have to cut through to get aid to these places, I’m not sure what could be done better there, I’m very unhappy with the sexual abuse claims and how nothing seems to be done about it. So I guess it’s they are insufficient.

Five countries with veto power on the UN Security Council control everything, and they spend almost all their time bickering with each other because they all want to be the big dog at the table. Sadly, most of those are currently involved in actions that the Security Council should be trying to stop, not engage in.

The UN Member States send somebody that represents whatever current administration is in power, not necessarily the citizens of the countries it’s supposed to represent. If I’m not mistaken a proposal was made in the late 90s about forming a Parliament Assembly but that went nowhere so we are stuck with the General Assembly whose votes mean nothing.

The sex scandals involving UN Peacekeepers. When Peacekeepers arrive, sexual abuse of children tends to go up. How do they do nothing about this?

The UN doesn’t function; some aid gets where it needs to be, but there have been past scandals with that from what I remember. I find the UN to be dysfunctional and set up to fail.

I bought it, but I only have about 9 hours into it so I’m no expert on it, still getting used to it really, part of that “play time” is idle as I do other things while it’s in the background.

EWR is still my favorite booking sim. TEW is just too much, but ProWrestling Sim on Steam is showing some promise I think.

It says they believe that mammoths, bison, horses, and reindeer will trample the grass, knock down trees and compact the snow which will cool the ground, based on a small 2020 study in Siberia that showed places that kept those animals, minus mammoths, had lower soil temps.

I think a much larger test is in order before I buy that’s going to save the permafrost.

I’m not saying it’s good to buy knockoffs, but the right knockoff Jersey on DHGate is sometimes better than the real thing, especially now fanatics have control of pretty much all US sports.

It sounds like they do want to reintroduce them…

Colossal has long claimed that mammoths, should they return to the grasslands in the planet’s northernmost reaches in sufficient numbers, would help slow down permafrost thaw.

They also would be elephant hybrids so not quite mammoths of old.

I think it’s more they don’t want to pay to upkeep them.

Owen Dreery told arstechnica…

“Even if a game is making no sales they still need to track those numbers, send sales reports to developers, generate international taxation documents for Canadians like me… etc. And who at WB is going to defend these indie games? Adult Swim Games is gone. To me it’s as simple as ‘Let’s get rid of these niche products made by people who no longer work here which I don’t care about.’”

This reeks of the same thing Discovery did when it took control of WB’s television and movie production, they canned completed projects, canceled upcoming stuff, and had TV shows like “Final Space” that were out for years erased, all so they could claim a tax break and pocket those billions. What a bunch of frelling bastards.
