I’d be using apps a lot more often, if they were actually functionally useful, and not just a vehicle for micro transactions, and ad revenue. Half of the shit i used to open regularly is now paywalled, to the point where even the barebones features of those apps aren’t available anymore

Things like WP prove yet another time, that investing into a proper product is better, than cutting corners. If you need a website, hire an engineer. It will be yours, and you can do whatever you want with it. There are plenty of CMS options too.

Let's not jump to accusations now. People can be critical of something, without it being inherently negative. If anything, I want them to do better, because I know they can do better

Not disagreeing, but I hate my limits too.

Persona and Metaphor deserve all the success they've gotten, but after putting several hundred hours into the RGG games, they could have at least given Majima a new shirt, you know?

They’re not a retro company. They’re just stuck in the past, and unable to head into the future. The consistency and the quality of their products say everything anyone needs to know

Guildwars has been my choice for quite a while now. I enjoy most things about it, and it doesn’t feel like a job either. I can do my things, take a break, come back and still have fun. Plus all the cash shop items can be bought with in-game gold, which i do regularly.

Apart from that, I still really like ESO, in theory, but Zenimax continue showing incompetence and greed, so the interest there is decreasing fast. And that’s a shame

I wish I could repurpose my Home Minis to use this. Google butchered those entirely over time, so now they're practically collecting dust, when I dont use them as an occasional room speaker

It's essentially a MonsterHunter clone, originally revealed 7 years ago, but based on what I'm hearing, since then it's been riddled with horrible mismanagement issues, and players lost the vast majority of their earned items, for them to return as mtx later

That’s horrible news

The only bit of excitement I've experienced about this, was when they announced it will be force-disabled in Europe, so I didn't have to turn it off myself

Of course he did. People like him would not exist, if the law worked as intended, and we've already seen how all of them lined up to slobber each other's knob for tax cuts and law loopholes

It’s genuinely been infuriating. Typically, if a page asks me to accept cookies for their “1500 partners” i just decline it and block the site, but a lot of the Spanish news aggregates want 8€ a month before they let you view the page at all
