I think with applications, like Calibre its relatively painless to save the whole library, if someone is ready to jump ship. Now its the perfect time.

I personally use a Kobo without the online features, which is fantastic, but there are many great Kindle alternatives without the corporate spyware bullshit.

About to install it on my new rig. I am using Mint, which is fantastic and it stays on my other PC, just wanted to try the nice baked in gaming features.

Great addition, thanks. There are similar online prescription glass webshops in Europe as well. They just need your eye exam results, some basic measurements of your head and they can cheaply make great glasses/sunglasses.

Its probably not the best answer you looking for but since I use prescription glasses for driving I always get a pair of prescription sunglasses as well. I can choose the frame, the lense and the type of coating on it (usually go for polarized/anti-reflection).Even my health insurance works on these so I can claim back some money from the price since its qualifies as regular prescription glasses (EU). Just need a descent enough optometrist. Some places even allow you to re-use existing frames and you only paying for the eye exam and lenses)

They are not cheap for sure (100-200 euros minimum for frame + lenses) but for me its a great long term investment.

My steam profile is 18 years old. I am using all the above features for many years and they are perfectly functional.

Your solution is to use different third party apps for everything is the opposite of convenience in my opinion. If you prefer the better software for these features, why not the better launcher/storefront for games?

Epic gives no added value to the user experience (IMO) and does not inspire competition to do better, other that the free games extravaganza to try to expand its userbase, while steam does not have to prove anything anymore, yet still investing more money in new features, technologies.

The steam users are used to a certain level of service and have a perfectly valid reason to dislike less functional competitors. If you are just here to grab the weekly free game, download and play then go for it, Epic will 100% serve its purpose , just don’t put it on the same level when talking about everything else.

Apart from the inconvenience (which is a huge reason I dont use Epic) for the same price I get less service.

If you only want to play games thats nothing, no melodrama, just install the game and play it.

…but as soon as you want to interact with your friends in-game, download some mods, look up help with the game, stream stuff from my computer to my living room TV, share my account with family or just play on Linux the Epic store transforms from “just another launcher” to a useless peace of extra software on my PC actively standing in the way of my fun.

This only hurts us, gamers. Stop this exclusivity BS and be competitive with better features, customer service and convenience.

I wish Nokia was still a big player in the phone business. My favourite (and most unique) phones were Nokia:

N95 - still looks gorgeous and classy and the “slide both ways” design blew my mind at the time. If they would release a new version I would probably buy it.

N-Gage - it was a cool and gimmicky phone, I admit it, only bought it for playing games, but loved how weird it was.

Lumia 920 - I loved windows phones, actually this was my second one and for me it was the best I could wish for. It had great camera, it was fast and looked super cool compared to the android competitors at the time. A shame the era of windows phones didn’t last long.

I am sure this will be something, almost 100% certain

A failure is a failure, no matter how small or big. Just because its Apple why brush it off as a happy little experiment?

Every single review I saw said the same thing. Its amazing tech, with a big price tag and nobody knew who is it for. The magic wore off pretty quickly and nobody wanted to use it long term.

Would a mass test have this kind of marketing though?

It failed, no need to dance around the subject. It was a very expensive demo product, and nobody wants it.

Tech support, the number of times I had to explain trivial things to some angry entitled asshat, who refused to read the instructions or didnt try basic troubleshooting steps (eg. turn it off and on again).

Also airport jobs. If people in holiday mode would just look up and follow the fucking signs…

Terraria, 480 hours. Every time Im done with the game a new major update comes out and I start a new playthrough.

Cant go wrong with Grim Dawn. One of the best modern arpgs with regular huge updates, expansions and modding support.

For an average moviegoer its a below-average action comedy with bad action scenes and weird shit.

For a Borderlands fans its a steaming pile of shit, with the worst casting choices, ignoring the source material, the lore. They just used the name and the idea if the BL world to create some nonsense story with an expensive soundtrack.

They were laser-focused to create a cast made out of big names and recreate the Guardians of the Galaxy formula. Even this didn’t work, there is little to no chemistry between the main characters and the whole plot is just stupid and makes no sense.

Im familiar with the mod, but its a mod, the game was designed to be played the way you always balancing on a knives edge. So not much time to enjoy the content (for me at least), when you have constantly ticking clocks reminding you to hurry up.

Ist too bad Xcom games are so focused on time limits. I know it meant to add to the tension but its just frustrating to me to non-stop rush everything.

Loved the trailer, even though the first game was “only” a 7/10 for me. Regardless looking forward to this, Obsidian is making great games consistently.

If the main menu music will be only half as good as the original Im sold :D
