I know this is unpopular, but I don’t understand why people care so much about which storefront they use to buy a game. I buy it where it is cheapest.

Hell, Epic takes less of a share of the sale. It is better for devs.

For me, the social aspect of the store I buy games from is irrelevant.

Ignoring hype is the best way to consume media.

Seconded. I actually enjoyed the game for what it was, almost Skyrim in space. Almost, don’t shoot me for saying that.

I had fun with the various factions, with constellation, and the story was reasonably unique but maybe not extremely enthralling.

That said, my expectations were basically zero. I purposefully ignore all prerelease hype about video games as it tends to ruin the actual experience of playing the game for the first time.

He does. Same with any other platform you do not “own” your account. You have credentials to login to an account you created.

This should not be news to anyone. This applies to all social media, all entertainment, and every other account you use online.

This seems sooo extremely common among software engineers.

Anyone that has tried the new version, does plex still make it really difficult to view your library by folder/file rather than by meta data?

I use jellyfin because I can get a folder view.

Good. I want them to be angry about having to break up search and ads so they have to compete like everyone else again.

A man can dream…

Women deciding to avoid men and men are calling it “man-hating”.

I’m so surprised.

No. I would never go.

Cheating is betrayal and a breach of trust. If my wife cheated on me I would not only hate her but want to see her and interact with her as little as possible.

For me on this trip, I would constantly be reminded of the cheating. Seeing them together happy would make me miserable.

I know you have to think about your kid and taking him into account may make this decision harder but I would still strongly suggest not going.

Mute ads in live sports. Absolutely.

Avoid ads in all other formats.
