No, it’s a comic.

EVs have plenty of advantages that it wouldn’t kill them. No gas tax, for example. They should still pay for the damage they do to the road. Drivers have had far too long ignoring the costs they put onto society by driving massive vehicles.

Also, if this kills EVs along with other heavy vehicles, I don’t care. EVs are better than ICEs, but they aren’t good.

Edit: Also, taxing by weight effectively taxes pollution due to tires, which we should have. Ideally this would be a tax on the tire by weight, but that’s another tax that would need to pass. Negative externalities need to have a cost associated to them. Ignoring them for convenience is how we got into these issues to start with.

Switch is only exclusive from PC if you care about legality. The Switch emulators are quite good.

More importantly, PC has significantly more and better exclusives. Factorio, Dwarf Fortress, Ostranauts, and Squad off the top of my head that I’ve been playing lately. There are so many incredible games, frequently that are $20-40, that will never be on a console. They’re never advertised as “PC exclusives” because there’s no marketing budget to push that stupid concept, but they are. People always talk about which console to buy because they have better exclusives, but any reasonable person would choose a PC if they cared about that.

Yes. Literally everywhere was designed wrong for covid. It is not designed for that. What a stupid argument.

For me, I’m more concerned about getting bacteria into the highly nutritious PB. If you’re only eating one spoonful then fine. I wouldn’t stick a spoon that’s been in my mouth back into the container though. I have done this “meal” though, but I scoop how much I want into a bowl first. Maybe drizzle some honey or something onto it.

They’re only halting sales. My guess is they’re going to make the switch to F2P. It’ll take time to build and rework the systems for that though, so they’re taking it offline while they do it. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. From the article: “at this time, we have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players.” That implies it’s at least not dead for good.

Still, not interested in it at any price really. It looked super generic. That market is crowded with good competitors so they need to do something new to stand out, not just copy what others have done.

Every modern MMO is pretty much solo with people around. I’d say this is especially true for ESO. There’s essentially no reason to socialize from what I recall, but I never made it to end-game. I prefer the FFXIV design where you can play solo if you want, but there’s also reasons to socialize if you want to. It’s much more interesting to hang out in. In ESO, from what I remember, I never felt like hanging out and only played to complete content.

Have you tried it? I played the beta and didn’t care for it, but a few years after release I tried it again, with a different mindset, and enjoyed it. I played it for a few months then. It’s not the best MMO I’ve played, but it’s good enough. If you want a pretty casual MMO in the Elder Scrolls world, it does the job fine enough. I personally don’t think it does enough to push you to socialize (most MMOs now have moved away from this), but it’s a decent single-player theme park with plenty of interesting things to do.

They can’t require you to participate, so I’m curious what would happen if everyone declined to do it. It sounds like you’re club may be up for that. That teacher is going to be pissed, but if you all decide to stop participating then they may stop trying to force it.

Maybe. It’s unlikely except for multiplayer, and even then pretty rare. The Riot games won’t work because of the rootkit, but nearly everything else has. Protondb.com if you want to check or ever need help getting something to run.

Have you tried it yet? Try installing Proton on your Linux install and pointing Steam to your existing folder that you use on Windows. It should be able to just boot them up like that without an issue.

Just a word of warning, Windows may fuck your dual boot plans up with an update. I lost all the data for my filesystems on my main drive with a Windows update. It decided to delete grub and the partition data. I recovered a lot of it, but I was never able to get Windows to boot again. That’s why I’m 100% Linux now. I just decided Windows wasn’t required anymore and installed everything fresh, and gave 100% of the drive to Linux.

I would assume Steam to be lower because gaming was one of the major roadblocks for gaming until recently, and many gamers are still scared of switching over. It also assumes no dual booting and whatever they ran the check on is the registered OS. This would register both potentially.

Team’s data is also useful, but it’s different data.

There are margins of error I’m sure, but you’re just making things up.

I assuming it says the same thing as the English before it, but in Chinese.

You’ve gotten plenty of replies, so I’m sure this has been said. There’s nothing to make the content or behavior better. The thing that’s better is it isn’t controlled by a single entity. If 9ne of the hosts tries to use their power to restrict API calls, for example, the other instances can ignore them. Anyone can always spin up new instances as well.

That said, one instance (Lemmy.world) has far more users and communities than any other, which isn’t ideal. If they were to just cut ties with everyone else then a lot of people and communities would become lost. This doesn’t have to be the case, and hopefully it diversifies, but it is the case right now.

There’s also Arx Libertatis for Arx Fatalis. Arkane (yes, that Arkane) released the source code for the game. This is a new engine and patch that is basically required. Even if you could play the game on a modern computer (you can’t really) you wouldn’t want to play without this patch. It does things like making drawing the runes for casting spells more reliable. (For those not aware, you drew runes on your screen and combined them to create spells. You didn’t just press a fireball button. You had to figure out what spells combined to make a fireball, and then draw it.)

If you like ImSims or Arkane games, I highly recommend Arx Fatalis. No one has done magic like it since. To be fair, it was one of the slowest and most cumbersome ways to do magic, but it did actually feel like you were part of it. You could cast spells before you learned them if you had the rune and guessed the combination (they all make sense). There were even some spells never told in game that you were expected to figure out. Cheats were even activated using the system, by drawing a certain combination of runes. It’s all very cool, and I wish we would get a second modern version of the idea.

“Just some guy” doesn’t mean they aren’t amazing. I would argue the opposite. It just means they didn’t use their abilities to become rich and famous like some other assholes. They’re almost certainly more capable than them, not less.

They can. It’s a lot harder and different though. It requires emulating the server software and replicating it. It won’t be the same servers as the main game, and also usually requires knowledge of something not provided with the game.
