People who know programming already, yes. People who are getting into it / want to get into it, see it as an amazing shortcut.
I had two working students already, who thought and communicated that they don’t really need to learn programming, because they can do it with ChatGPT / Q. It was quite infuriating.
It wasn’t for a long time. That was also a very controversial decision (albeit I think it was necessary).
The developer is a cash hungry idiot, with no intention to ever listen to the community.
The community is great, battles intense, and the skill ceiling sky high. Sailing mechanisms second to none.
There’s a lot more ships than the DLC ships. But yes, it’s almost inevitable you will end up buying a couple of them, because the DLCs let you spawn a ship for free every day.
I stopped playing when the Dev decided to split the already low-populated PvP server into two separate instances, which is currently being reversed (to noones surprise).
No. Marathon has strong marketing.
*all westerners
Really. Japanese society has a lot of issues on its own, but there’s also a lot to learn from them.
That question is so broad it cannot be answered.
There’s a myriad of games which are or have been wildly popular (e.g. Mario, CS, GTA, WoW, Minecraft, Fortnite)
There’s games which pushed the borders to new limits (e.g. Tetris, Doom, WoW, VR Chat)
And there’s games which warped the industry or their players (e.g. mobile games, micro transactions, loot boxes)
No shit. If you artificially limit your customer base… and then open up.
French electricity leaves the chat in summer when their plants need to be shut down because the rivers are too warm or don’t carry enough water in the first place. And that’s nothing to say what they will do in the next decade years when a good portion of their reactors should be commissioned out.
Scalability is not viability.
Off-topic. I’m wearing without nose pads now, because they also didn’t stay put for me, and caused headaches.
As life long user I can only say glasses suck.
Not really. Tim Sweeney would sell his grandmother to appear cool / anti-establishment / consumer friendly - while trying everything to establish Epic Store as a monopoly. Once he achieves that, he would lick boots just like the others.
My impression came from headlines like this:
Tech moguls Altman, Bezos and Zuckerberg donate to Trump’s inauguration fund
I didn’t follow these donation news too closely, but from the headlines it always sounded like they do it personally!? Maybe Trump makes a point out of it that it comes from them personally? Would make them personally attached to him.
Exactly, enterprise world. Letsencrypt doesn’t aim for that.
Which of them is free?
A hundred euro is quite a difference. Didn’t expect it to be that much, tbh.
The only consolation is that, with the discounter sets, you will get something that has been tried and tested and everything is according to the relevant technical standards. Should be, anyway.
Any of the Discounters, really. ALDI, Lidl, Netto, etc have regular offers in their online shops.
Deregulation doesn’t means less rules to benefit the people. It means less of the rules which keep the rich and corporations in check. The less rules, the more free they are to exploit the people.
You really took the downvotes with grace.
Two-fold problem: a) give the consumer freedom of choice b) make it difficult enough to successfully set it up once, and then stay locked in
That’s both by accident (provide freedom choice) and by design (lock them as long as possibile).
