He’s right, this must just feel like a slap in the face for anyone affected by these layoffs.

I like the idea and even subscribed for a time, but their videos just kept buffering for me whereas YouTube is fine even at 1440p :( I’d love to support them and their content creators, but i’m not paying for a product that doesn’t work.

You can get the free games over their website, if you don’t want to install the client. You are right about boosting their numbers though.

I think simulation or generally CPU intensive games benefit the most, for example Anno 1800 or BeamNG Drive

Oh i like to play, Far Cry 6?

Jira and mails marked as unread until i have worked through them haha :)

Yup, Bandcamp. You can also click on “Genres”, then clicking on any genre will propose further subgenres. So currently i’m in a atmospheric black metal phase. Going to “metal”, “black Metal”, then “atmospheric black metal” shows me bands i might like.

Obviously genres are very fluid and sometimes subjective, but as a general tool to find music they work for me.

It’s the middle thing between not gifting something specific but also no just giving money. Sometimes you are not sure what exactly a person wants, but giving money directly might feel too unpersonal? Other than that, i completely agree with you that it sucks. Stores must love them though, they already have the money without having to provide a service / product and then many people will forget, the gift cards expire etc. I’m of the opinion that the cards shouldn’t expire, or at least have a very high expiration date (like minimum 10 years).

Is it really possible to sign away a right to sue a company, especially hidden in an EULA? For an unrelated service as well… I guess that’s something the court must decide in the end.

It’s a pity that a company who created so many beloved stories and characters fell so low.

Thanks, i keep missing this!

If you are “forced” to use WhatsApp because many of your contacts are using it, you could use it to run WhatsApp and set-up a bridge to Matrix: https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/setup.html?bridge=whatsapp

Thanks, that sounds like a good mix between story and gameplay.

Thanks for the suggestion, already read and enjoyed it :)

Don’t have time right now and i never played the originals, but i read great things. Seems like a pretty weird mix between mechanics, but great if the developers pulled it off. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it as well!

Is there a story or is it “just” mission after mission?

The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick.

It’s fantasy, but feels pretty fresh to me with the focus being on the main characters trying to con a rich family and less of the more usual (but no less fun) adventuring, combat etc. (at least so far, I’m still very early in the book).

Mirror, the first link didn’t work for me for some reason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8NSViLQFIs

It does now, but the mirror might still be useful to someone.
