Just randomly wondering, which distro did you use on what hardware?

Practice and dedication.

Present day. Present time.

The problem with the gambit system was it was too easy to script an attack setting that the battles played themselves and you could only lose if you were grossly out leveled.

Finished the game like this by just walking thru it, just killed the challenge. And it wasn’t set up well to use commands, more just the gambit system.

Wow, that gameplay.

Double check prices first. I moved from Canada to the Euro and all electronics are about 20% more expensive here (when converting the currency). Including from the companies website (Google, Microsoft, Apple) so it’s not just a third party raising prices issue.

Google also can’t:

Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores

So basically, hand Apple a monopoly over the smartphone duopoly. Apple still will be allowed to do this, and they have done this already in the past. Wow, way to make sure the free market stays free.

Worst part is, because this is a government made monopoly, Apple can’t be taken to court for monopoly behavior. Apple didn’t do anything here to make this happen, but will laugh all the way to the bank for it.

Seems crazy that Google is forced to open up when Android is already kind of open but Apple get away with keeping iOS very closed

Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first

Not only that, but Apple is still allowed to offer developers money/perks for exclusively as well but Google can’t. This reads more like a pro-Apple wish list.

This is why I buy my TVs from Costco. If it needs internet at any point, return. It’s a TV, it shouldn’t need internet at any point.

WotC never cared much about the novel and stories part of their IPs. You could tell from the MtG lore that it always was a distant second.

Forgotten Realms was amazing in the 80s and 90s, but that was when it wasn’t bought out by WotC and still a part of TSR. Now that it’s part of WitC (Hasbro), all of the lore is not cared much about in all their IPs.

Doubt the top down GTA game would ever be made again. Last one was GTA Chinatown Wars and it sold terribly. Started on DS, and was ported to PSP, and now on iOS and Android.

The article points out how other sites and articles are calling it a dead game due to the fact it doesn’t have the 1.5 million concurrent players now (it did in Feb). Not that’s it’s been abandoned by the developer, but that is not getting the daily player counts that games as a services expect and how this game is bucking that trend and it’s a good thing.

Its not clickbait journalism.

Microsoft is already looking at preventing this stuff because of Crowdstrike. While the whole event was completely CrowdStrikes fault, so many blamed (and still seem to blame) Microsoft for it, so they have a real reason to do this.

There might be hope as Microsoft might remove kernel level access after the whole Crowdstrike incident.

Could be good if they are willing to try, and you choose a distro that closely resembles Windows. And they aren’t purchasing new hardware and their current Windows OS isn’t being supported anymore.

Big fan of if it works, why change it?

Also, don’t promise them that it’ll be perfect and magical, set their expectations to be realistic. (This is where typically people convinced to buy a Mac quickly learn to hate it. They are promised it will never have problems and then they have one problem after another, leading to hating it and tired of having to message for more help. And a lot of people I’ve found that sing blind praises for anything are the same ones quick to blame and down talk users when things goes wrong)

First challenge would be trying to convince them to spend a ton of money for a computer that they only use to do basic web surfing.

Then there is the fact that MacOS is different than Windows in look and feel, so a larger learning curve, all to do what they’ve always done before. People don’t like change, and the bigger the change, the more the pushback.

And in my parents case, they have already talked to other parents who’s kids convinced them to get a Mac. And heard all the complaints and regrets of those other parents for buying a Mac, and how it will be their first and last Mac. (My mother needed help buying a new laptop a few months ago, so I know about this).
