bit late to the party, but:

it’s not that reports out of a warzone shouldn’t be questioned… it’s the way the user up top chose to frame their skepticism.

it reeks of alt-right divide-and-conquer tactics…

there’s plenty of people with poor articulation, but this is not that. this is on purpose.

there’s a certain way the far-right tends to speak that’s very distinct, once you start noticing it. and tankies, certainly not by accident, use a lot of the same language.

austria is gonna burn before we give up falco, lol

not true; that’s a developer thing, not steam itself.

steam offers it as an option, it doesn’t force developers to use it.

plenty of games bought on steam can be run entirely without steam.

f95zone has it almost certainly, if not, request it in a request thread, done.

works for pretty much any NSFW title ;)

yeah, no.

thing is: YT/google/the data kraken knows you regardless of wether or not you’re logged in.

they track everything from IP, to location (even just approximate based on IP), screen size, browser, OS, and sooo much more.

being logged in makes it easier to track you within a site, but you get tracked regardless.

the DLC are pricey, but they’re also proper, old school expansions adding lots of content that actually enhances the game.

it’s perfectly playable without the DLC, and there’s a LOT of DLC-sized mods on the workshop!

kind of a fundamental problem with modern DLC: they generally don’t get cheaper over time (remember when that was an actual thing? not just sales, but actually lower prices for older games?).

if you keep up with the releases it’s super okay at about 20/25€ once a year, maybe twice, bur if you’re late to the party it’s a whole lot of cash all at once!

exactly why paradox introduced a subscription for Stellaris’ DLCs at 10€/month… honestly kinda worth it, if you know you’re just gonna play for a while and then move on…still wish stuff would just get cheaper at some point again…

the information age is easy: the silicon age!

not sure about the space age…maybe titanium age? that’s about the time we figured out how to machine titanium on large scales, and for highly specialized, extreme applications (talking about the SR-71 here, mostly). could also call it the alloy age, since a number of important alloys were discovered around that time

Also let me emphasize this: for every discord server shut down like this, there are 100+ servers with almost the same purpose that still exist and will continue to for at least the next 3y.

you completely missed the point here:

the issue that those aren’t around NOW, the issue is that they WILL inevitably disappear eventually and every shred of knowledge platformed there will be irretrievably lost to the void.

discord is a black hole for information:

it sucks information in and deletes it from existence.

that’s why it’s bad.

the time frame doesn’t really matter here.

Patch 6 only really broke the script extender (well hotfix #18 really)

nvm, just checked, it’s up to date! (hotfix #19 is supported!)

pretty much everything is up to date!

i don’t think so, but you can either entirely disable it, or make them passive, or tune it to your liking; there’s tons of customizability in the difficulty!

it’s honestly some pretty smart design in how they handled it! you should give it a try, see if you like it!

one little beginners tip that’s kinda important: they always choose the shortest path to your base (so pretty much any structure you build) and they attack based on your power consumption! (there’s a little widget that tells you when a wave is coming)

*They’re the same picture

(the dark fog update is seriously sick tho)

that’d be great in theory!

if only the vanguard anti-cheat wasn’t ridiculously easy to bypass and effectively useless while also being a major security concern…

I’ve started a new Minecraft world on the All the Mods 9 modpack together with a buddy of mine!

it’s been a blast so far!

just getting ae2 setup going, beginning to automate all the things, it’s great!

sexual content

not an expected part of life

say that again, but very slowly…

alternatively I’d be thrilled to hear all about these alternative ways to have kids that you apparently think are out there…and then I’d like it explained to me how exactly that’s not an “expected part of life”??

ah, thanks!

that’s good to know!

you lose cross-device sync, don’t you?

that alone is kind of a big deal…

i think it’s weird how outright immune software companies are from false advertising claims…

like, in any other industry, failure to deliver promised products would lead to a lawsuit…

overall some good points, but this one is simply untrue:

Gaming options: Without resorting to piracy, consoles offer the largest variety of gaming options. More games release on console than they do on PC.

a higher number of games is released on PC by a huge margin.

you also forgot to mention modding, which is either not an option, or very limited on consoles…

it absolutely was one of the stated goals for starlink.

it hinges on the laser mesh networking though, which isn’t online yet, iirc.
