It’s probably less optimal than walking since I seem to get less steps in when I bike, but I can confirm it works

I tried the beta a few months ago and it was great! I kinda lost interest when I struggled to find a city with the workshop I needed at the time, but I’ll try again now that a few updates have come out!

It should also be noted that a directive isn’t an “EU Law”, since it cannot be enforced directly (as opposed to a EU regulation such as the GDPR). It’s basically a framework that all EU member states have agreed they would each pass as a Law in their own jurisdiction (which explains the first quote in the article beginning by “Member States shall ensure …”).

Since eprivacy is “just” a directive, each member state has since passed their own implementing Law that have the same basis but can vary in their specifics, so rules on tracking and cookies aren’t the exact same in each member state.

Selling only DRM-free games has always be GOG’s whole thing (well, that and selling oldies compatible with modern OS), it’s weird that this meme specifically would be considered “aknowledging piracy”

Agreed, Big Tech’s quest for UX and frictionless Interfaces has lead to a generation of people who vastly overestimate their tech savviness and are basically only great at navigating walled gardens made specifically to be easy to use.

It’s not really their fault though: in addition to frontends becoming ever easier to use, backends are also becoming increasingly complex. 20 years ago you could learn a bit of HTML and CSS and throw a decent website together, but nowadays you need to master tons of other skills (graphical design, scripting, etc.) to make even so much as a web page that won’t scare people away immediately. It’s hard to get interested in this stuff when the barrier of entry is getting higher and higher, while tons of GAFAM-made alternative are already available for “free”

I think you’re spot on for Vision. If the last Phoenix Force buff taught me one thing, it’s that the difference between a 4-cost card that can move and a 5-cost card that can move is truly massive. I guess Vision got a bit more appealing for a Shuri combo and a last turn move to bait Shang Chi though, that’s probably something I’ll want to try out.

This game is fascinating to me because of the range of reactions I’ve seen from players. Those who like it love it so much they call it a masterpiece, while those who don’t like it really hate it.

It’s also one of the only games I can think of which message (or at least what I personally interpret its message to be) gets less and less impactful the more people praise it. I feel like it only works if you go in blind and only expect a standard shooter, and really suffers from its reputation as a consequence. Expecting a fun shooter and getting this whole thing was a unique experience to me, while a friend of mine that played it expecting to find the experience he read about was super disappointed and hated it.

A weird game indeed, but I’m so glad it exists
