Been playing for the first time Disco Elysium, but also have Kingdom Come:Deliverance and Titanfall 2 (Although I played it already 6 years ago) installed on my PC after getting them on deep sale recently.

Bad headline but reasonable argument within. Concord probably failed for the reasons people outlined, sure.

The point is that peoples fingers aren’t quite as on the pulse of what will make something successful as what we give ourselves credit for. We attribute reasons for something’s success or failure after the fact.

Personally, I don’t know what makes a hero shooter successful or not. A game like this could be going gangbusters for some reason in 6 months time and I would probably not understand why. I say that as someone who’s been an avid gamer over the last 30 years.

Barefoot Investor was really good for my wife and I when we joined finances. Particularly having our own “splurge” accounts means we don’t need to ask each other before buying our own personal or frivolous things.

Great answer, thanks!

What is the big difference between Cosmic and Gnome? I know System76 are developing it so I would imagine they have a problem with Gnome and their hardware business.

I used popOS! for a year and did get annoyed that Gnome required extensions that were not necessarily maintained in order to allow for what I considered to be basic customisation.

On OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE now, but interested to see what the philosophical difference is between Gnome and Cosmic.

Which ones would they paywall? The ones which would be the hardest sell for them would be the big meme subreddits, given how many other sites can be searched for memes.

I could potentially see them having some success paywalling all of the sub’s where technical questions are asked looking for solutions to particular problems (think r/DIY). But then again you wouldn’t pay just to have 1 question answered, and would generally just try a different forum if it could be answered elsewhere.

Agreed. Clearly it must do simply what is said on the tin, otherwise why ban it?

Lots of YT creators edit their face to look strange or unsettling. I’m the same as you, though I think it’s more the gimmicky nature of his content I’m a bit put off by.

I think you could happily live your life not knowing who he is. I will say that he’s a master at knowing what will make someone click on his videos.

It turns out that job security is rather important! Who would have thunk that, Microsoft?

Just to add to the noise… I’m shocked that Obsidian is not the number one app that people are talking about. Didn’t even know there were so many other great options, to be honest.

Edit: it’s because it’s not open source. The plugins all have to be open source, and it is free as in beer. I’m keeping this comment up.

Realize that one of the main determinants of your lifelong happiness will be your choice of partner.

Don’t get too serious with someone that isn’t going to elevate you, but also make sure that you’re elevating your chosen partner.

Realize that the cutting edge electronics that you buy today won’t be worth jack shit in three years time.

I like the memes, but I don’t know a lot about the person.

I can’t help but feel that Web 3.0 will accelerate climate change. That said, I know nothing about it except that crypto people are excited about it, which means that money can probably be made from it.

That’s a bummer, I still watch him from time to time but accept it as factual. Didn’t think I needed to fact check him.

Distrotube hits hard. I remember the video showing everyone his collection of increasingly larger guns was the checkout moment for me. Even saying one of them was great for kids. As a non American maybe I just don’t get it.

Gross. I heard he lost a hell of a lot of money on crypto and hookers, so that checks out.

Boogie2988. I thought he seemed like a reasonable, unbiased person when I was watching around 2016. Kind of just moved on with my life after realising he was just following YouTube drama.

Have checked him out in the last year or so and it’s not looking good for him. The really sad thing is that he could have just taken his money and lived a chill life, but he seems to want a spotlight and to feel important even if it’s because people are shaming him for being a washed up b list youtuber.

It’s hard to get an apprenticeship to become one in Australia after your mid twenties. I’ve heard it’s because your pay has to be a fair bit higher than the kids just out of school, so they’d rather train a teenager.
