I've seen the same thing. Seems like the new behavior is to just let me login, play, and it will get what it needs in the background and automatically update on next launch.
Makes sense not to bother me to update a 0.1 release change after launch (unless it's urgent) when I just want to play Tetris.
Isn't this the same behavior web browsers use? Background download and update on next launch?
Not complaining, I prefer this update cycle as default.
The best DMs are the ones that can adapt and come up with stuff on the fly. The only guaranteed thing is that the players are idiots and will try and punch a NPC in the tavern on day 1.... throwing your well planned story out the window.
I get the joke, but did the person writing this have a stroke halfway through writing it?
I'm trying to remember when I last had a real "free trial" and not these "give me your credit card subscription scams". A bonafide "try our thing for real" situation made me buy it.
Free food or drinks for sure. Maybe a newspaper or magazine when I was a kid?
I mean, that is a solid 5/7 desert they put together!
While Crystal Dynamics didn’t specify which content it’s referring to, it’s speculated that it could be the animalistic depiction of Pacific Island natives in Tomb Raider 3, who are implied to be cannibals.
Like the fictional Indiana Jones style villages? Or the real life North Sentinel Island Sentinelese? I'm scratching my head too...
Honestly I'm actually a little happy about this. I feel Mozilla needs to focus on its core job of advancing its browser and web standards so we don't get stuck with Chromium-only world (like when us old timers had to deal with Internet Explorer holding the majority market share).
These side projects like running VPN services and social networks may have the best intentions but have had to pull from their limited resources. I would prefer they get spun off as separate projects instead of pulling resources from the parent company.

One of the rare times when I feel the Hololive girls did this joke better....
Not today and hopefully never for general forum purposes. Worse case, you get somebody that necros an old post akin to responding to an old email chain, or replying to an old forum thread. Usually not a big deal but sometimes it also sparks new discussions if that post/thread had some meaningful content.
Edit: Actually I think @FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world had the best idea. Would be a great option depending on the forum / poster's need. There are some good reasons when you want to "mark a thread as closed"... like bug reports, project tasks, etc. But I feel the default behavior should be to keep post / threads open.
The fact that this is Gene Wilder immediately gets my approval. The Tim Burton / Johnny Depp version of this comic just didn't hit the same. 😑
