I believe they’re saying that they have paid time off, but it’s paid at the rate for day shift workers. Since they always work night shift (which has a pay bump) that means the paid time off pays less than they normally get.

Thanks, I’ll pick it up then. I know it’s very different from the type of game Frostpunk 1 is, but it still looks like it has a lot of similar elements which I liked.

Saw some reviews saying the game felt like it was designed to be a platform for DLC. Anyone able to confirm or refute? If it never received another update would it feel complete?

Same here. Newer versions of Easy Anti-Cheat work fine, but pretty much anything else breaks. Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is an example of a game that uses EAC, but with a version too old to work with Linux

Yes, I’ve run several games native. ProtonDB will indicate if it runs natively (though some people will report using proton on natively supported games out of habit)

EDIT: some games are supported natively, but should use proton for mods. For example, Mount and Blade Warband runs just fine without proton, but if using mods it should be run with proton. This will also be indicated on ProtonDB in my experience

Yes, $4.65 and 9/10 of a cent (the decimal is sometimes dropped or falls off the sign as it is very narrow compared to the numbers)

Also much of the “recycled” plastic isn’t recycled, but instead burned or dumped.

Depends on if you’re using British or American English

I never really bought a lot of Ubisoft games because of their poor practices and buggy games, but the thing that pushed me over the edge never to buy from them again was with Anno 1404.

They took Anno 1404, made a few tweaks (the largest of which was some higher resolution support iirc), and released it as a new game, Anno 1404 history edition. They then delisted the original game on steam and made the two incompatible for multiplayer.

So if I wanted to play a game I already own with a friend who didn’t own it before they delisted it, I would have to buy the game a second time. It would only be $15 to buy it, but it was a massive “fuck you” to everyone who owned the game

In my experience, this is unfortunately quite common at universities.

The last one? It’s the gamma function

And a lot of the work over the last 10 years has been repeatedly reworking the same core systems. So it’s just different rather than significantly better. They have made improvements, but it’s somewhat diluted by the side grades
