Canadian-American software developer living in Japan since 2015. Into gardening, DIY, permaculture, etc.
Torchlight 2 should scratch that itch. To me, Path of Exile is something the Diablo series could have been but wasn’t exactly? Though I haven’t played it in a number of years, so I may be mis-remembering exactly what it was like. I seem to think it was more like a point-and-click RPG with kinda Diablo-like combat.
I will continue not using it. I was interested in Oculus until they sold to FB and then I nope’d right out of that. I really did think VR was neat, but various things kept me from pulling the trigger. If it becomes the only way to use chunks of the internet, I just won’t use them; I grew up still in the analog world (though we did have BBS and very early dial-up in the '80s), and I could go back to it. I’d honestly miss educational content more than anything else, but I can get books. In my lifetime, that strategy would probably still work fine.
A lot of Japan does this, actually.
What do the terms of use and privacy policies say? Who’s paying for the servers and what are they getting out of it? Also, since your data is federated, what happens when it hits a server with any different policies (or who may be in violation of the license of the software itself, but is getting no enforcement)?
If you are not paying for some service, you and your data are almost certainly the product. It was true then, it’s still true today.
They were updated as you requested. You did not ask for a loading functionality. Please open a new feature request.
There are still all kinds of things a company can do to mitigate at least some of this. New browser, new location, forced two-factor auth, etc.
Thanks for the additional context/info! :)
I can’t find anything corroborating this (most sources I checked stated ~ski just meant ‘comes from ~’ in the name kinda, so you may want to be careful about what you “learn”.
Examples: https://theskilesson.com/why-do-polish-names-end-in-ski-discover-the-fascinating-reason-behind-it/ states it may have helped popularize it a bit (presumably by having the place whence they came in the name?) but I don’t think the above poster’s statement is actually true here considering the link and several others I checked.
I was wondering if it were tied to recent court decisions in Korea to allow someone to sue over wartime labour, but it looks like this has been going on a lot longer.
I’m a xennial, but I went from being more into religion than my parents, getting people to come get me and take me to church until I had a car and more, to Atheist (with a weird neopagan interlude in my early 20s). Both sets of my parents, on the other hand, swung back more to religion to some degree or another (though both have at least one parent that is more into what they think the Bible says vs what it actually does).
I think “rogue-lite” or something like that is a better term for what I like. I’m currently playing “Against the Storm” is one a coworker recommended recently and I’m enjoying so far. Spelunky 2 was OK. There are probably a couple other’s I’m not remembering at the moment.
Well, that’s something I’ll want to turn off, though all they’ll get from me is random appointment reminders and confirmation codes.
Did they arrest all of her parts that they found individually?
Yep. I think my age (I’m in my mid-40s) and being an adult when I played them or they came out has a lot to do with it. I think having less free time and a number of issues I deal with makes it harder to enjoy certain types of games (this is not to say young people don’t face their own stresses and issues!)
I think any game you grew up with gets a nostalgia level assigned to it and it’s easy to overlook certain flaws. For me, OoT felt like a step back, but I had been playing PC and Amiga games lot (I hated Starfox for this same reason). I’m sure I have the nostalgia glasses for some games, but I’m old enough that I think many wouldn’t even know them, hah.
I have the exact opposite opinion, heh. Sniper elite drove me crazy when I’d carefully line up a shot and be just too far inside cover and shoot a wall I couldn’t see because my freaking character was in the way
FF6 is still my favorite.
Heh, exact opposite for me; I hate 3rd person games and feel frustrated most.of the time (sniper elite comes to mind)
I mean, if you change it to “if Bob murdered a guy in cold blood (i.e. not defense, etc.) and no one was looking, did Bob break the law?” The answer to me wouldn’t be anything but yes.
Just because the offense is different or you don’t agree with it doesn’t change that in my eyes. It generally doesn’t change it in the eyes of the law, either. Always campaign against laws you think are bullshit. If enough people do, you might be able to do something about it.
