Oh, I mean the OG expansion "The Conquerors". As far as I know that content is just included in the Definitive Edition now. But back in the day, it was the AOEII expansion.

AFAIK all the other DLC came after the Definitive edition re-release. My original point is that I didn't expect new expansions to what is ultimately a 90s game.

I legit never imagined I'd see another expansion for this game. I say expansion because we didn't call the others DLC back then.

A challenge that they themselves don't understand and couldn't undertake, but they'll happily risk the livelihoods of others for their hunch

Is this why Xfinity sent me a message saying that they had "doubled my speed at no additional cost"? They haven't, by my testing. I was barely pushing 100 before and still barely push 100.

Mankind Divided is free right now btw

It's not free. The point is to get me to make an account on Epic and install their stupid launcher. That isn't free and I'm tired of people claiming things are "free" when in fact they exist to get you to sign up for another service. It's not free-as-in-air.

And not to mention: the original versions actually run fine to this day. Pure money grab and they made the product(s) worse to do it.

Such a weird gatekeepy headline. I'd argue it's virtually anyone born after 1980.

Just to add: the Steam Controller may have been a commercial flop, but I still maintain that it is one of the best controllers out there, in particular for playing strategy games from the couch (right pad > mouse). I still use mine regularly and have a couple backups. The price of the Steam Controllers now reflects that it's technically a niche success.

Edit: and the dual trackpad setup plus integrated configurator technically does live on for the Steam Deck

The idea that younger people just need "work experience" is a vestige of a bygone world, when just having that little bit of experience would make you qualified for the job -- THE job -- that you would continue to do forever, because companies paid for loyalty with loyalty. That isn't how the world works now and every job, entry level, dead end, or otherwise, is the job that you might need to do forever. That's why a living wage is more important now than perhaps it was in previous years.

Also why in the hell is a giant corporation like Amazon, with pockets do deep they exceed the GDP of many countries, getting a loan from the federal government. Make it make sense.

And the really annoying ones hide the "this will become a hybrid position" deep in the copy. It's almost like businesses know a lot of workers prefer remote roles...

Yeah some apps do, some don't. Connect for Lemmy had it until the latest update
