I quit RuneScape in 2011ish after squeal of fortune introduced legacy loot. I’m sorry, but for a game that was all about 100% completion, making loot legacy and unobtainable if you didn’t gamble for it was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
To get sorted to the top of the lists for biggest discount. To claim bigger losses in copyright infringement cases. And to increase the perceived immediacy to buy it to get a good deal to take advantage of impulse buying whereas if they have time to think about it they may not buy it at all. Plus rich people don’t care how much something costs, so you’ll get a few of them here and there buying it at full price.
Just a habit, on lots of subreddits now, you get AutoMod deleted or banned from their subreddit if you use curse words. This happened to me on PC gaming subreddit. I got hit with a Perma ban there 3 months ago and they wouldn’t tell me why I kept messaging them over and over again, told it was for excessive profanity. Apparently lots of my comments use the f word so that’s not acceptable.
I started to censor myself too on other platforms because sometimes they have warnings like “Are you sure you want to post this?” and I feel like they’re shadowbanning my comment.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure you’re getting put on a list. They probably have it designed that way, people who use offensive language often or certain words, add them to an internal list and restrict their interactions with the rest of the people heavily.
I’ve used CD keys and G2A in the past and had keys failed to work because they had already been used. Lukewarm customer service on both. I don’t know if I would trust that
As well as OP’s problems getting dud keys, I would warn that key resellers often contribute to the pickpocketing industry.
Tourist gets lost in Indonesia, kid grabs his wallet. In the time between then and when the tourist calls their bank, the kid buys as many legitimate keys of Game XYZ as he can using the tourist’s credit card, and sells them to G2A.
The bank refunds the fraudulent transactions, but even if the key retailer (eg, Greenmangaming) reports the transactions to the game dev, the dev is often pressured to not revoke the keys since it just leads to poor press off later customers that believe themselves “legitimate” for spending money on the game.
Sites like isthereanydeal.com give more legitimate tracking info and avoid key-sharing sites; the copies sold were obtained directly from publishers. They can also give price history to give you an idea of whether the game will go on sale again soon.
It’s funny that you mention the iPhone - a device that had zero innovation compared to its competitors, and just managed to take the market because of marketing.
(And while I didn’t own a Symbian phone myself, a good friend did. Oh, but what I owned was a tablet computer. Way back in 2002. And now you will likely call me a Revisionist again, because I owned a device before Apple invented it…)
I’m aware of Symbian, it ran on over half of the world’s smartphones before 2009. It’s not some hidden knowledge.
You’re the one who said it had zero innovations, which is patently false. Here’s a short piece from AllAboutSymbian.com on the topic. I never claimed they invented the smartphone or anything like that, but it’s obvious that you think I did since you added that part about the tablet.
This conversation is not worth my time, you’re free to think whatever you want. Have a nice day!
Had a CyberMaxx VR headset back in the days. It had a whopping resolution of 505x230 per eye at a combined 60 Hz (so each eye only got 30 Hz). Headtracking worked with 3 degrees of freedom. The included mouse driver for DOS made the head tracking available for every DOS game even if it didn’t have support. It came with Tekwar and a Flight Unlimited demo I never could get to run.
Some games worked with stereoscopic 3D. That was about the only really awesome thing about the headset. But the 30 Hz displays made sure that you could only play for a short while anyways. Descent was nausea inducing on its own. But in VR it was a guaranteed pukefest.
Thinking about playing with the headset was always much better than actually doing it. I’d pull it out every few years and then put it back into storage. Last I heard it died at my brother’s.
To raczej dwa różne produkty. Signal to komunikator a matrix to raczej takie odkrywanie IRC i XMPP na nowo pod nazwą która skutecznie utrudnia poszukiwanie informacji o tym cudactwie. :D Tak to raczej widzę…
@wariat czy moglbys nie odstraszac ludzi od Matrixa nazywajac go cudactwem? IMO to bardzo dobry komunikator (tzn. standard komunikacji - Element to nakladka frontowa, jedna z wielu), wygodniejszy niz Signal... :P
Wszystkie są komunikatorami wiadomości błyskawicznych (“Gadu-Gadu”) z opcjonalną historią korespondencji (+/- ustandaryzowane dla XMPP/Jabbera, Matrixa i chyba Signala, niestandardowe dla IRCa), zatem wraz z wątkowaniem to hybryda komunikatora z forum/BBSem ala #Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Mattermost. Signal bez szczególnych zabiegów wymaga do instalacji smartfona (którego zapewne nigdy nie będę miał, stąd znam jedynie z teorii), natomiast jego twórcą jest cypherpunk i anarchista informacyjny Moxie Marlinspike, dostarcza przeaudytowane szyfrowanie tzw. end-to-end; podobno jest też stabilniejszy i bardziej dojrzały od Matrixa (i protokołu, i wiodących klientów; ja siedzę na niszowym ala IRC, więc ponownie – niemiarodajnie).
I think it's far too late for that. Publishers have been testing the waters with $70 AAA games for a few years now, and people kept buying them. I don't expect that to change any time soon.
