A lot of devs already do this. That's what Steam Early Access is for. Now, whether or not the devs actually listen to feedback is a different story...

There are more peppers like that, too:
poblano - ancho
chilaca - pasilla
anaheim - colorado
mirasol - guahillo
serrano - chile seco
bola - cascabel

Also related: green, yellow, orange, and red bell peppers are all the same pepper, just various stages of ripeness. Guess I had my own dumb moment in this thread. Not sure where I read my take, but the reply to mine is correct.

I can tell folks here didn't read the article. These talks were in 2018, when Stadia was still a thing.

I also like how they try to stay within a certain price range and focus on experience and efficiency, rather than push the latest hardware.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm getting my hopes up.

It's not illegal, but the airline could cancel your return ticket and/or blacklist you.

Go with what you know, I guess. He's obviously passionate about MMOs.

I remember seeing a lot of criticism on him back in his WoW days. After he left, Blizzard had to hire two people to fill his role, one for PvE and one for PvP. It was amusing to see the general sentiment go from "good riddance!" to "omg please come back! these guys are worse!" over the span of several months.

A pair of official Joy-Cons is around $80 USD.

Yeah, seems you're correct. Not sure where I got my take from, probably something I read a while ago. Thanks for correcting me.

I understand the desire to keep kbin a solo project in order to maintain control over it, but if this is going to see any success in the long term, then there needs to be a team. I like kbin over lemmy for the interface and mocroblog integration, but the spam and lack of updates are taking its toll. At the very least, there needs to be another admin or two to look after things whenever Ernest isn't around.

You're only a customer if you pay them. If you don't, then you're the product, and they can't sell your eyeballs to advertisers if you block their ads.

I'm currently playing through a FO4 mod run, so sounds like I better finish before this update drops and breaks all the mods.

The Epic v Google lawsuit is bringing to light a lot of interesting tidbits of info, so I think it's just that. It's an interesting tidbit, but not really relevant to much outside the trial. That said, I do like seeing this kind of info shared, as it gives us a peek behind the curtain of these megacorps' operations.

Last year's TGA was somewhat exciting because they gave away a bunch of Steam Decks. I normally just see the winners posted the next morning, along with any new game trailers.

Ultimately, if you want a free game and have no issues with Epic, then hurray, you get a free game. Some of us don't like Epic and prefer to give them nothing (including our data), even if it means passing up on free games. I have no shortage of games to play, so I won't be missing a free copy of FO3 or whatever else they decide to offer up.

Take this with a grain of salt, but a few years ago, I remember a discussion in /r/overwatch where someone said they practice sniping by playing osu.

We will have to see what happens with Win12 as more info releases. Windows seems to follow a pattern of good > bad > good, where 10 is "good" and 11 is "bad", so maybe 12 will end up decent?

If Win12 ends up being garbage, then I guess I'll take another hard look at Linux. Hopefully game support will be better by then. Proton is nice for sure, but not quite where I would need it for some of the games I play.

If you're a bad actor, you could block anyone who downvotes your bad takes or whatever garbage you're posting, and over time, you could block most active users (or at least the ones who disagree with you) until your posts aren't downvoted into oblivion. I suppose by then, your total rep would be pretty pretty low and it would probably be easier to just make a new account.

I'm not sure how viable this would be, just a thought.

But it does. You're still giving them your data, which they can use for all manner of things. If that's something you don't care about, then more power to you - enjoy your free game.

I got Fallout 1 and 2 in a 2-pack for $10. This was back in the early '00s before the others were released. I loved those games so much.
