In the NW, I was welcomed for who I was. In the South, I was not.

As a northern European I know nothing about this. But why are you allowed to generalize and discriminate against "southerners" and they are not against your "group"? Imo thinking tribally like this is really hurting all of us.

I would be satisfied if Bethesda did stick to their "ancient ways". Focusing more on environments and immersion rather than character-driven storytelling like any other RPG. Of course they did neither for Starfield unfortunately.

I was walking behind two dogs and their owner. I was walking faster than them and one of the dogs looked at me and proceeded to persistently move the other dog to the side so that I could pass. It was absolutely clear it knew what it was doing :)

I'm European. My first thoughts go to immense and diverse cultural heritage, pollution, amazing food, food sickness...

It's not a prediction, {Company} will simply push whatever future that benefits {Company}.

I can afford to buy or subscribe to services but at this point streaming is just more annoying than pirating. With pirating I can use my favorite player (mpv), maximize video quality (high quality blu-ray rips), watch offline, no bugs or buffering, instant seeking et.c. As for games I might pirate a game before buying it but usually I just buy it since it's convenient (unless it has intrusive DRM).

Make another post in 2 months, if it still has no cumstains I accept your proof.

Isn't the point of this meme for the low IQ and high IQ people to have the same preference? Any way, I'm on Linux Mint usually -_-

uBlock Origin, it's not even close!

I think it should be a "copy community" feature, then mods can just prevent posts in the old community and make a sticky that points to the new location.

Making users automatically subscribe to a community on a different instance (even if it's "the same community") is pushing it a bit in terms of moderator power. Also makes things worse in terms of exploits and others have pointed out.

In a year I had over 200 DAYS played on World of Warcraft back in 2005-2006. That's over 13 hours a day, then I quit abruptly and later tried a couple of expansions casually.

Second is probably Counter-Strike 1.#. No idea actual playing time but would estimate around 1000 hours.

The above two I don't regret spending my time in. Made a lot of friends and it all felt rewarding.

Then there are games like Civilization VI (~200 hours), Rimworld (~300 hours), Tropico (~200 hours) and even Path of Exile (~500 hours). These games are not really rewarding, other than little dopamine hits that gets you continuing playing forever.

Edit: Added hours!

Windows 11 still feels like a beta... Have they completely given up on quality?
