That’s really interesting! I’d heard the white flight explanation for downtowns falling apart, but this adds a new layer to it

Mixed feelings on that since games that get delisted often get delisted because some critical servers they depend on are going offline.
I’m not sure if that applies to Forza … but personally the last thing I want is something that’s about to be delisted.
They couldn’t even be bothered to report the correct keys if you use anything but an xbox controller or allow custom key binds in Dark Souls 3. I will never understand the praise the Dark Souls 3 PC port got.
People are allowed to not like games you like …
I also find souls likes to feel janky. Elden Ring is playable for me, Dark Souls 3 I just rage quit rather than dealing with its UI.
Don’t count standard notes out just yet!
They offer discounted plans upon request!

Valve’s Artifact Classic card game. I actually found the basic formula to be really fun.
I think this game died for two reasons:
A) The game was review bombed for its monetization (IMO a lot of this was the non-target audience trying it and leaving a bad review)
B) Valve said following the review bombing that they were going to make major changes. This resulted in a lot of Artifact fans (IMO) leaving the game because … why invested and learn a game that’s going to undergo major changes.
So Valve worked on Artifact Foundry (and never finished it) … before eventually everyone at Valve gave up and released both Artifact Classic and Artifact Foundry for free. The original Artifact Classic is still a great time with a friend and all cards are now totally free so you can build whatever decks you want.
It’s basically a AAA studio card game, with cross platform support, released in complete, for free … because of some poor decision making. Some things may be unbalanced but if you’re playing with friends anyways … just have a friendly agreement to not use the cards that cause problems in your decks. It also could bounce back into active development if it starts to acquire a player base again (because Valve).
s/you/one/ I don’t think it’s really about YOU in particular, just “you” the author or “one that is saying things like this.”
Another example, “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime” isn’t about “you” it’s about the concept of “an individual (that might be the reader).” This phrasing seems to be more agreeable with some people and possibly there’s different tolerances geographically.
I’ve tried to use “one” in place of “you” to remove this ambiguity but it’s at times uncomfortable to type lol
You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain – DC Comics
(I hope they do find a way to make this “for the best” – maybe reviving Scroll like technology + private advertising + actually checking to make sure advertisers are legitimate so you can pay to turn ads off on lots of websites and the ads aren’t leading to malware – but it’s very concerning in general)
Wondering the same thing
I’m surprised, I was pretty sure anything with Battleye flat out rejected virtualization.
I thought Destiny used Battleye but I must be mistaken on one of these points.
Don’t give these guys money. One of the worst studios out there.
AFAIK, Windows firewall is perfectly fine, usable in commercial spaces, etc. You’re probably going to be getting into more “hobbyist” firewalls even if you do find one … and a firewall isn’t something you particularly want that with. You want something that’s well designed and well maintained.
(I say this as a guy that has run Linux on basically everything for … over a decade)
If you’re going to use Windows … just use Windows firewall. There’s no real reason that I can think of anyways to replace that one component with something FOSS.
Proton because I get it basically for free under my existing Proton plan and because of Proton’s stellar reputation.
That’s not to say the apps aren’t a bit buggy or missing (Linux doesn’t have one) though.
Best for what requirements?
Lots of space? Ease of use? What devices? Web access? Etc
I’m kind of hoping for some asynchronous multiplayer features; Age of Wonders does this with some jank, but I think there’s room for a less jank / a more polished implementation.
I strongly disagree, email is a train wreck for secure communication.
Proton has done a pretty good job of making an implementation that’s actually secure but PGP email has fundamental flaws like the subject line and recipient being clear text on the message, user error/key management complexity, and it’s also just a high-friction means of communication vs “texting” or “IRC”-like approaches.
Maybe Valve is on to something with not counting to 3.
The only thing you can really do is create new communities and wait for them to grow.
Because if enough people do that, it actually can result in that state not “doing what it always does.”
Assuming voting for X is going to result in Y getting elected over Z “anyways” is not a good strategy for getting what you want.
