I don’t get why? It’s a great game

It’s a fun game but an ultra competitive market. Either show you’re in it for the long haul or most players will never give you a chance.

I don’t think folks expect to restart when the pre-order perk is 3-days early access… But we live in a world with day one patches on every single game too 🙃

If they were actually concerned about it, Valve could have done real NDA’s and/or plastered the build info and user name on-screen like most game tests. They’ve done it in the past so I assume this was a calculated risk/choice.

Worked for Blizzard before all the Xbox layoffs… The confusing actions are mainly because the gaming division is now it’s own company within Microsoft and responsible for its budget and making revenue for the first time in XBOX’s history. The leadership level all got promotions and new titles, they shared new org charts to everyone, and then the layoffs and closures began almost immediately. It’s no longer about making their user base grow but about making money so expect their games everywhere and to see Game Pass lose features and raise prices.

Weird, I have it so email is req (to cut down on spam and duplicates, we have zero plan to use them) but you shouldn’t be forced to sign in to Google…

I moved my email to Hey and ProtonMail so am using their apps. Doing that allowed me to push reset on what goes to each address and how I sort/filter/etc. Gmail is now my junkbox like Yahoo was forever ago.

PWA with wefwef. But also checking out the new apps here and there.

They did such a bad job in court… focused entirely on CoD which they already had offers for everyone to get for 10yr minimum. How you gonna win that case?

Came here to say this 👆 It’s really not hard to get started or use, folks just drag their feet on it for some reason.

It’s mostly a problem with SMS. But yeah it would be awesome if they’d meet Android halfway and adopt some of the RCS stuff

Images get compressed and sent super tiny. Replies to specific texts start entirely new message threads. If someone leaves the group the whole convo stops and your in an empty new message history. Reactions come through as text replies and don’t specify which message it was in reference to. Etc…

If you are in a friend group that does group messages then maybe. It can get pretty annoying

I think of “retro” as pixel-based and early 3D games that were sorta killed during the PS1/Saturn/N64 era.

Once we get into more advanced 3D / Polygonal games (PS2/GameCube/Xbox), it’s a different era; but it’s not due to the visual shift alone, but the design philosophy and craft/code itself. I would consider them “modern” and point to series like Zelda as an example.

Games like WindWaker feel more connected to Breath of the Wild than it does to Link to the Past or even Ocarina of Time. And I think the same goes for series like Mario, Metal Gear, and so on.

It’s not perfect, but it’s way better for privacy than Google and looks a million times better than Bing. Sometimes the middle path is the best you can hope for / ask of others.

I was initially shocked but that’s like 4 months away from the initial launch. I’m fine with that.

It’s so so soooo good (if you like platformer roguelites)

Sucks to lose Spelunky but they earned my money

Before going to a doctor I would look up local/regional ADHD support and advocacy sites to see what they lost for late diagnosis options. A lot of folks will otherwise waste your time or tell you that since you made it this far a DX won’t help.

I did this when seeking my ASD+ADHD diagnosis a few years ago as a 35yr old adult and my process was way less time consuming and frustrating because of that help.
