40 second load times are pretty dreadful in a genre that by design has a lot of them.

Microsoft is a good underdog because they have infinite money. And a really bad market leader, I bet worse than Sony. It would’ve been way better for the industry to not let them acquire the big boys they have.

Honestly, I wholeheartedly support this move. For a couple of (obviously subjective) reasons:

• Lemmy/kbin isn’t ready. If Beehaw staff were able to fork their own version of the base code with their moderation etc. design preferences in mind, this would be another thing – though even then it might not be enough to be worth it with the headache of fediverse moderation.

• Closed system/community is more personal, hence more productive and less noisy. At least before it outgrows itself.

What I’d hope but is also more work and potentially creates conflicts, is that the new platform provides good moderation logging etc. Which I think is key feature to ensure trust and self policing.

That game seems pretty loved, I wouldn’t be that surprised about a remaster. Though it would have to be a pretty barebones if it can’t compete with a ten year old release.

Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn’t have any qualms about recommending that route to you.

It makes more sense to think about it like that.

Did I say that somewhere?

And calling review bombers reviewers, like they offer legitimate unique criticism is kinda funny too.

Because they took OW1, changed very little, made it a lot more microtransactiony, didn’t release a promised co-op mode that basically was the reasoning to release OW2. I’m sure there’s more but that’s about it.

For sure, agreed. Major downgrade and when I tried it at launch it still had the same queue problems OW1 had so not like they even fixed anything for a casual player.

But I’m pretty sure we both know Overwatch 2 isn’t the worst game available. (I’m not going to go out of my way defend OW2 to anyone, it’s not worth it.)

Yeah these review bombings are ridiculous, so what? Am I not free to express my opinion? And I’m not quite sure how anyone’s not allowed to have their opinion, if it’s dumb then you can call it dumb.

People are voicing their opinions, what’s the big deal? We should all agree with these gamer tantrums?

I’m not s fan but if you really think it’s the worst game on Steam woof…

Which I think is kinda weird decision since they could’ve just hidden a setting that unlocks all addons in the options. But maybe they were so incompatible at the time that it wasn’t worth the headache.

Not an expert but as I’ve understood it it’s pretty similar to Fennec, less tracking and more private than your regular Firefox. I don’t know anything about either ones development team size or activity either so I can’t recommend one over the other. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in.

Same for Firefox forks, Mull and Fennec.

My understanding is that USB-C as a standard is pretty all over the place. Some can fast charge etc. So my guess is that Apple will come up with some superduper performance USB-C or they’ll at least present it as such. And why not sooner? Because they were in the lab perfecting it.
