Was playing it a bit in the morning while it was slow at work, seems fantastic so far!

I hate how installing or removing (or even updating) a flatpak causes the whole software center to completely refresh, and it doesn’t keep its state so if you were in the middle of a search or scrolled down through a category… say goodbye to it.

Traversing a motherboard sounds like it would be interesting!

(Note, the linked music video has a seizure warning at the start of it)

I used to justify it with “I’ve had a shit day, I deserve to be able to have something for the convenience” - not to mention, I don’t have a car so realistically it was “Do I want fast food or not”.

Then I started to realize that every day tends to be a bad day for me, due to a multitude of reasons. I live paycheck to paycheck (which is why I don’t have a car in the first place) and the amount I was spending on takeout was way too high.

Now the only time I do so is on Fridays because my workplace lets us spend $25 on their tab just for joining the weekly staff meeting. Aside from that, I might order a takeout once, maybe even twice, during a pay period as a “congrats for making it through last month” but I’d like to even stop doing that ideally.

This doesn’t read as a global Blocklist for all Android phones in the world. It reads more as a local database/API for blocked numbers on your phone.

So blocked numbers would theoretically be applied to your messages apps and other “telephony” based apps that use phone numbers such as WhatsApp (should said apps implement the API).

Google already seems to have a spammer database for numbers, though I’m not sure if that applies to just Fi users, Pixel users, or anyone who uses the Google Phone app. If I have call screen disabled, I’ll see numbers on an incoming call have a red background with a “likely spam” description.

But based on the comments on this post, I feel as if I’ve overlooked something in the article here (I’ve just woken up so it wouldn’t surprise me) - is there a mention of it being a worldwide list?

It would be an alright show… If it didn’t use the Halo name and was written to just be another science fiction/fantasy TV show.

But unfortunately I don’t think the show was ever made for hardcore Halo fans - whether that’s because of the writers or just Paramount going over the writer’s heads I couldn’t say.

Once I woke up a bit more I had another look at the article, and this phrasing certainly makes it sound like it needs approval at some point:

Due to a licensing dispute between NVIDIA and Activision in 2020, GeForce NOW lost access to all Activision-Blizzard games.

Perhaps though it’s a case of “Better to ask for forgiveness than permission” and they just add games until someone tells them to pull it off, I’m not sure. It’s been 4+ years since I looked into GFN, I tried it out during the beta period but I don’t believe I’ve used it since then.

Realistically, a lot of relationships are “situational” (especially at that age) - but that doesn’t erase the fact that they existed in the first place.

Correct on all accounts. Just to be more precise, I’m not placing any blame on the players in my prior comments - the blame goes to GFN and Activision since the player expects to be able to play a game that they’ve paid for, on a service that they have paid for.

Right, I didn’t mean to imply that playing on GFN was cheating by any means - I probably should’ve worded that a bit better.

I meant more of “If Call of Duty explicitly allowed GFN to add the game, then players who play via GFN shouldn’t have a chance to be banned just for playing through it”

Doesn’t the publisher of the game have to approve for a game to be put on GeForce Now?

I mean, don’t get me wrong - I know anti cheat detection has never been perfect, but you’d think this would be something they heavily try to make sure they get right.

Yep, I modded my switch, dumped the keys and my games and went “Now what?” and after playing via Yuzu on my PC I realized this was the only way I really wanted to play the few Switch games I enjoy.

Every now and then I’ll boot into the stock firmware to play Mario Kart with some friends when they want to play, and that’s it.

Oh wow, I didn’t know about Kandalf and KDE valley, that’s awesome!

I imagine that is the case, however they could refund it given the situation.

I get the feeling they won’t allow refunds.

Hmm, well the railing of my bed would well… be railing me.

It never should’ve gone out in the first place. Whether it was ever going to be a good idea (I do not believe so) is something that can be debated elsewhere, but it definitely was not a good idea with the current state of Bungie and Destiny 2.

Am I surprised that someone higher up in management pushed/green-lit the idea? No.

And no Bungie, you do not get brownie points for seeing the train wreck (that they were completely tone deaf enough to cause in the first place) and being like “Oh we can see that this was not bringing joy, we’ll pull it… for now”.

What?

First of all, after the shitshow that was the launch of D4, that’s just hilarious. S2 is certainly better than the start, but it is no holy grail that magically fixed everything.

Secondly, you’re dreaming if you think a DLC is worth more than the base game.

And finally, I like how they’re “asking” players if they’d “be okay” with it. Are you telling me that if the majority of the player base said “NO!” they’d actually listen? If there is anyone who believes that, well I’ve got a bridge in Sanctuary to sell you.

It looks like my top song this year was “Relapse” by Wage War, and top artist was Self Deception:

Makes sense, great tracks and artists all around!

I mean, sure - why not? Like Ada said, if it isn’t going to cause any negative impact on me, there isn’t a reason for me to object that I can think of.

I would be a bit concerned about the hazards of drawing a lot of attention to yourself on the internet, because of the vile people on the internet - but aside from a brief note about it (if they asked for my opinion), that’s really all I’d have to say on the matter.
