Ubisoft has been shit for a very long time.
I still recoil from the memory of Far Cry 3 dropping in the middle of the game because thier launcher had an issue, three times in one hour. Which reset my progress. Uninstall, never bought shit from them again.

Lol, Palantir isn’t going anywhere.

If we let them then yes.
The point was it was Meta, not OpenAI, so why is Altman doing this instead of the Zucc?

- Comment on Maldives begins 'generational ban' on smoking 2 weeks ago:
Nothing of what you wrote made any sense.
If parents gave you smokes before you were 18, they don’t give a fuck about laws or your health.
Same for any friends.
If you started smoking this year… it won’t be as hard to stop.
And why should even people born in 2010 still have access to it in your mind?
I support global cigarette ban, specifically for filters and the litter smokes do. And rapid and continuing tax increase on any tobacco products until it’s priced out of existence.
Same for any disposable vapes.

- Comment on Austrian Ministry Kicks Out Microsoft in Favor of Nextcloud 2 weeks ago:
It seems that every company uses FOSS products, and almost none actually supports the products (in relative numbers).
Valve wanted a competing OS to Windows, so they are sort-of an enemy of my enemy.
EU should force companies to give dividens to FOSS projects.

It’s the perfect solution just waiting to be kickstarted.
The entire world would gain so much from investing into FOSS. Just a fraction of the price of locked-in solutions, and it would change the world.

- Comment on Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck 3 weeks ago:
All those anti-QoL things are just an inconvenience to me. I get it might help with immersion, so I don’t diss them, but most of those things sound like they can be worked around easily, just very time-consumingly. I think I saw some get fixed gameplay, where people died by flying to space? So you just build a space wall and you’re in vanilla with extra steps. And I hate doing the preps.
Way back in the 2012 maybe I collected every vanilla item, and since then I just enjoy fighting bosses. The rest is hard meh. Slapping extra HP is also just lame.
Calamity did everything correctly, specially the post-ML content, and Infernum changed bosses so well that passing them feels like a real achievement.
One of the hardest things in vanilla now is to accept that those bosses are so much more simple, but so are my options.
- Comment on Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck 3 weeks ago:
I will never forget even Yahron, much less Calamitas on Revengeance in 2020. Played ranger. But it literally took me a week of constant battles to beat Calamitas once. (After that, even with post-Calamitas equip and with duping, I still had trouble killing it.)
But Infernum Queen Slime? Lol, we beat it in team only thanks to respawn items. Infernum bosses are on the top level of crack, and I love it so much. Those battles are so much fun, yet so stressful. Also visually stunning.
Never tried any special vanilla seeds. Are they difficult compared to Infernum? Or if you once start owning Infernum, vanilla is a piece of cake?
Playing with lag sounds awful, and it’s sad it prevents the true experience. So thank you so much for your advice, much appreciated.
- Comment on Rise of the Tomb Raider -SteamDeck 3 weeks ago:
Wow, this is an amazing post, thank you very much!
I played through Calamity on Revengeance during covid (took me a week to kill Calamitas?), then tried a Infernum run with and without friends last year, and I got beat hard. I love Terraria so much, was so happy to discover Calamity, as the content added is top notch, but if there’s modpack for even more content, I’ll definitely find some time to try it.
But dying just 30 times to a boss? Took me about 170 attempts to kill King Slime in Infernum, after reworking my arena multiple times. I’m very bad at the game.
