Curiosity is the best trait nature ever gave us.

I wonder how that’s going. When the devs started they were clearly overpromising things that they thought would be cool to have without any idea of how long it would take to implement them. I always suspected it would remain in development for many many years, but apparently it’ll be playable next year.

It would be a service problem if the chapter was released officially in one language then translated to others by pirates faster than the official company, but that is not the case. The official Sunday release includes the English, Spanish and Portuguese translations (among others) and they are all made available at the same time, for free for several regions.

Pirate websites only manage to release it faster because they get access to the unfinished product and then have people work on them with no regards to any work laws in order to finish and release it as soon as possible without any schedule or time constraint.

In general, yes, but in this case I don’t think there’s any way for the service to beat piracy even if the service was just as good (which it isn’t). Take the One Piece manga, for example. A lot of people read it from illegitimate sources simply because they can manage to release it two to three days earlier than the official every week. You can read it for free online in your local language once the magazine reach the shelves in Japan, but even that is too late because the contents gets leaked while all the partners are preparing for that simultaneous release.

I think they just did some camera trick to cut out most of the travel time and not make the movie longer.

Duckduckgo didn’t make it funny, I had to actually Google.

Yep, though the combat is very hard to get used to early and it may feel to hard - only to feel too easy once you master it.

I deleted all my comments last year. Recently I got a notification for a response in one of such comments. When I clicked the notification link, my comment and the response were visible. The comment doesn’t show up in my profile.

Ah I had that popup confused with one of our own; Now that I checked the text on google translate I figured out what’s happening.

The meet.jit.si domain is a public jitsi instance that is kept by jitsi themselves. They recently implemented this login requirement on that domain (one user in every meeting must authenticate); They probably assumed that those meetings would always be in a browser and our desktop app is not handling that authentication flow properly. I’ll register a task for someone from our app’s team to take a look.

If you host your own jitsi instance, this login requirement won’t be there and you won’t have this specific issue (though I assume you probably won’t stay with Rocket.Chat anyway due to the E2EE requirement).

Thanks! I got it now. I’ll look into it this week.

But where did those `` jitsi-meet://` links come from?

The calls generated inside rocket.chat are supposed to be handled by the rocket.chat app, everything else it doesn’t get involved with.

(I wrote this integration so I’m legitimately interested in how it could be better)

What issue did you have with the jitsi integration on rocket.chat?

I assume my problem is my geographic location.

Dang you had to remind me about that game. I had been missing wii sports for years and was hyped for the switch game when it was announced. Played the test days and it was fantastic, then it was released and I never managed to play with another human, ever. I would be fine with playing with bots only as well, but every time I tried to play I had to wait for several minutes while it tried to find someone for me to play with until a timeout was reached and a game started. I quickly grew tired of the wait and abandoned the game.

I guess that will be everybody’s experience once the game loses connectivity.

The trailer looked uninteresting so I didn’t try it.

I’m pretty happy with my edge 20, after going through a bunch of other brands in the past years. Any other brand I suspect may be better than Motorola is just not available anywhere near me.

I’m the other way around regarding harvest moon. Stardew valley put the genre in a new direction and every new farm-life game now follows the direction Stardew valley pointed to. I miss some pure HM games in the mix.

I was working on a HM inspired game at the time SV came out and after the hate from passionate SV fans died out, even I was pretty much forced by the community to add extra focus on crafting stuff and things like that even though it was not my idea for the game.

Yeah, but the difference is on the PC it’s easy and comfortable to buy games if you have the money for it, so piracy is a choice. On consoles it’s often a hassle and the services are shit.

On PCs (specially steam):

• Games are often discounted, so you can buy them at lower prices
• Games remain available in your account “forever” (as long as the service exist). You can upgrade to new PCs as many times as you want and the games will remain available.
• You can play online for free, you can make cloud backups automatically, you get achievements, tradeable cards and items, extra visuals and fake points for karma.

On Consoles (specially nintendo):

• Games pretty much never get any discount, even after a sequel is released.
• Once you replace it with a new console, you likely won’t have access to games you bought on previous iterations (up until recently you would lose games even by buying the same console).
• You need to pay extra to play online, or to backup your saves, and there’s no extra useless goodies.

So in short: There’s hardly any reason to pirate something on PC other than to avoid paying for it. There’s several benefits to getting the game legitimately. On consoles, getting games from the high seas is actually more convenient. Sometimes people will even buy the game but still play a pirate copy instead.
