Oh no, a non-native-tongue made a spelling-error on a fucking phone 😁 And I have no idea what you want to tell me. The kde-wiggling is the best thing to find it.

Best feature ever! (5 monitors, constantly “loosing” that damn thing)

I’m sure they’ll find ways to fuck it up…but my cynical ass does hope I’m totally wrong. I’d love any decent voyager-themed game, as long as the story is strong too and not just a license used to carry whatever…

We’re both stay-at-home, without kids, but still not making 12m/yr.
Also what an oddly specific sum…🤔

7d2d is actually out of EA for a while now. It’s been a looooong journey but a good game.
Valheim never felt very EA, although I, personally, didn’t click with it.

This forced x hours is the dumbest shit ever.
My employees can come and go whenever they want to. If they get the shit done in 1 hour at 3am, fine. Who cares?
If I pay someone to do X and he does, why should I care when he clocks in and out? Either I miscalculated how long X takes or he’s just awesome at it and I suck 😁
Anyhow, everyone seems happy with it and noone seems to exploit it. Also people are obviously way more motivated and sometimes even do extra stuff if they notice something needs to be done.
I know, maybe I just suck at capitalism and could be making much more. But 🤷♂️

Why not go and make something new?
Because it’s too risky. Shareholder want reliable income not a gamble. Remastering old shit is more or less guaranteed money.

Well that is a most exquisite question and I deeply admire your wit and smarts. And here is why you are so absolutely correct without any fraction of doubt left:

Haven’t played that one but am intrigued now.
And yes, gfx are indeed the least important factor of a great game. Yet it seems like the one most money is pumped into 🤷♂️
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 1 week ago:
So much has already been well put, except one thing that reaaaaallly help MY immersion:
Sfx & especially music. Thinking of “life is strange” or “cyberpunk 2077” or the good old witcher.

Depending on your needs and style of living, single-digit-million(s) already can do it. Risk-free at 2-5% or risky with >10%. Or, the wiser approach: 50/50
Work is stupid and boring. But what I always see with people: they earn 1k more a month and spend 1k more a month. I’ve seen people complaining about having no money left to spend, while their lifestyle already is at 10k/month.
Long story short: save, invest, rinse repeat. Stop trying to impress others with your “rich” lifestyle.

- Comment on dating 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but what you described as “wasn’t so.bad” is just the usual enshittification of everything. Lure people in for “free” until market saturation is as planned, then make them pay or loose.
Also yeah sure, you got lucky, but I bet that tinder is made to loose. If everyone would just find someone, noone would pay 😁
But that’s survivorship bias. You don’t hate tinder because you were lucky to profit from it.
Anyhow, congrats on not having to use it anymore 😉

OK that’s a lot cheaper. Admittedly I took 1st class though (as I wouldn’t go 2nd), but 2nd class would be roughly half of it. Which is still around 350. And even if I’d go alone, by car would be half as costly. Not factoring in cost of ownership of course. Which is immense here too.
Yes German trains suck hard, but even if they had Japanese precision and would just cost 1 buck from wherever to wherever else, I would prefer the car:
I can get precisely from a to b. While a train gets me from major city station to another major city station, if lucky without changing trains in between. Then I’d need to go find a bus station or tram somewhere near there and go stand in an overcrowded horribly stinky bus/tram full of people. Or take a taxi and pay ultra premium to have to endure a chatty driver. I’m not a people-person 😁
Also, if you’d go Amsterdam Vienna for 115, that’d still he 230 for two people and 460 if you wanna go back home some day. And then you have to pay for local transit too. A car would have neglectable additional costs for added passengers and local transit.
- Comment on [meme] choochoo 3 weeks ago:
As I love driving, I didn’t include the car cost. It’s a hobby.
Just checked, one way trip from my city to a another city 300km afar: €180,-, so 360,- if wifey is coming with. And 720 if we want to go back home again. Doesn’t include getting to and from the station and also not getting around at the destination. Plus having to change trains somewhere along the track. So it’s neither relaxing nor will it be on time.
While with a car, we just drive there, listen to music, are comfortable in the temperature WE choose, don’t have people around us. And if we see something cool along the way, we stop.
So, where is an advantage of using trains? I fail to see it.
- Comment on [meme] choochoo 3 weeks ago:
I’m neither the one nor the other.
And the last time I used the aforementioned here it was a horrible nightmare of never being on schedule and costing a lot more than just driving myself. Even if I would take the “fun” car.
- Comment on [meme] choochoo 3 weeks ago:
Meh. I hate trains, busses and trams. Always full of people… I would not give up a car for that, and I only drive like 3000km a year split over two cars.

- Comment on dating 3 weeks ago:
I feel so sorry for generations having to use those stinky fucking pieces of shit predatory apps, designed to keep the majority of men single AND paying.
Also the method of “dating” there sucks so much, unless you’re just there for a quick fuck.
Not saying it was easier back then without those apps. Probably wasn’t.

- Comment on What a great idea 3 weeks ago:
I despise people with no manners to keep their distance. Here, people come so close to you, it would be classified as sex if we were naked.
And where there’s shadow, there’s also light. And the forced distancing was a great thing.

Oh yes. It was great. People forced into distance. It’s all forgotten now.
