Which C25K app is that? I'm using one that sounds less good! Would be interested to try that one.

I'm not quite the target for this, but I'd value the ability to take age-ID (which for me is always my driving license) on my phone in some way.

I'll also say that I think you can get to Samsung wallet without unlocking your phone, though you need to authenticate to trigger payment, so it's possibly a way of not handing your unlocked device out.

I'm always weirded out by folk handing over cards to be taken to machines in other areas, too.

Edit: Huh, seems like there may already be a solution for me, [here] (https://www.postoffice.co.uk/identity/easyid).

The developer Bohemia Interactive found it crucial to promote the idea of player creation, something that was true for most of the golden era of early PC gaming.

I can't agree more - so many high profile games and trends came from the ability for players to mod and map for things, going back to CS and further.

That games with subscriptions etc are so much more locked down these days (for sort of fair reasons, if you agree with that model for monetising games - and not, if not) is pretty sad, and means that folk who may otherwise organically start mucking about with the ideas behind game development much earlier than otherwise.

That said, stuff like unity is way more accessible than it used to be, but it's a whole other can of worms for various reasons.

Looking back at community mapping competitions as late as TF2 (which didn't require mindbending detail, just an art style), it's sad that we're missing that these days - partly due to the increased detail, but also the ability to host your own server, mess with modding it, add new maps... And all in the name of (pessimistically) greater recurring revenue for shareholders.

To sum it all up, ":(".

I'm sorry, what? This doesn't reflect my experience at all. Source, pls?

Or, to write it in British: bollocks, mate.

Edit: other than "it's not going to happen soon", of course.

I'll be honest - I feel however a game is, you will find someone who is happy to play it for literally hundreds of hours. I'm happy you enjoyed it (as I'm sure at least a few others did), but honestly think that on average people haven't. I may well be wrong! I'm mostly basing this off the reactions my friend groups have had to it, after a few weeks.

It was a non-binding vote! (Mild anger)

Will you be folding the Cauldron VTT community into this, or cross posting everything? 😅

Would you accept "in a way that can be reversed"?

Seems like they assumed their original foot-in-the-door would hold the slam, here.

I was really interested, but heard that they added Denuvo after the review window, which is somewhat offputting.

So that is literally the last time, assuming no bugs, you would encounter it?

... Yeah, that is pretty much what I figured. 😑
