Cart persistence and going through the actual checkout is not great. Plus even as a browser there’s no progress bar or sense of stuff still doing something so you’re sat waiting for things to progress

Trying to buy gog through heroic, I have no issues with using gog in a browser

If only the store UI wasn’t buggy lol

They claimed they won’t, but we’ll have to see their actions www.nexusmods.com/news/15301?comment_id=155643499
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 6 days ago:
Nah there’s some games that still only have stuff on moddb, thunderstore is the main place for v rising and a few other popular titles, and for Minecraft there’s curseforge and modrinth. The community is more fragmented than you’d think

You are excited for a new game, I am excited for more russian bfg remixes coming out, we are not the same
- Comment on CODE VEIN II — Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
It just looks like Pokémon trainer models, but worse in terms of proportions.
- Comment on CODE VEIN II — Announcement Trailer 2 weeks ago:
This looks… Rough. The character designs seem to be a major downgrade from before, and the lore and plot don’t seem to follow up at all on the last game?

Have you tried SFC /scannow, dism repair, or factory reset?

Are you sure you don’t have some client side dark mode on from your email client? It’s often the case that those don’t work too well, particularly if an email has an image background.

Privacy and pressure I’m guessing. Now the other person knows you’ve seen the message and the feeling of being perceived when you just want to send a message in your own time can be uncomfortable for some.
- Comment on Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered 1 month ago:
… yeah Skyrim the region exists just next door to Cyrodiil, crazy that.
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Mod Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 1 month ago:
I’d argue they’re the most vocal about it, but no. They release a half lobotomized set of tools, they keep making modder unfriendly changes to the games (recompiling the exe for no reason every time a new cc mod was released for Skyrim, which meant you needed to wait for skse to update too) including having load order broken at launch in Starfield. Also the many ways and attempts they’ve made at monetising mods with them getting a cut. Not to mention this new Oblivion game needs new tools to work with it and once again like with Skyrim VR, “modding is unsupported”, though that could just be a decision made by the Devs since they’re developed by third party studios.
I’d say Larian is actually pulling their weight tho, with bg3 modding going quite well and them frequently highlighting mods on their twitter. Also CDPR who looked at the most popular mods and added them to the base game as polished features.

Yeah that’s partly what I meant by debugging
- Comment on The inconsistent naming for insert row/columns in the German MS Office 2 months ago:
This is why even though English is my second language I will set software to be in English, I know any translations into my primary language will use weird and uncommon phrases (also makes debugging harder)
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting 12 new subclasses next week 2 months ago:
It’s a pre-written balanced set of classes to try out, it’s not a requirement to play d&d and you can also just homebrew your own stuff. I don’t see how shouting at the sky about an optional purchaseable module helps
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting 12 new subclasses next week 2 months ago:
what are you mad at? This is bg3, a “rigid computer game”, what does wotc’s physical books have to do with a free update?

- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 2 months ago:
While I agree, it’s also a chicken and egg problem. How can more money flow if they don’t make it easy? Even just endorsing Heroic and providing them some APIs would work
- Comment on Why is it sometimes difficult to start doing what one enjoys? 2 months ago:
In a world where everything is optimised to give you immediate rewards and happiness an act that is a bit frustrating to start with or that requires a modicum of effort will lose out to those temptations, unless you make an extra effort to stick to a schedule to rewire your brain to get used to it as part of a routine

Hey you should look into darktable, it’s got a different learning curve from regular photo editing software but it’s really nice to use. Alternatively Rawtherapee is closer to lightroom in UX. Both FOSS

Thinner* since there are people actually wanting smaller phones (and I have a jack on my zenphone 10 so size isn’t an issue), they’ve been blaming thinness and water resistance for the drop of the jack

- Comment on Please allow ads! JK, you need to subscribe, too! LOL 3 months ago:
I didn’t say ads can’t contain malware, but it’s a bit of a “(some) internet malware is ads, but not all ads are malware” scenario, it’s very dependent on who they get the ads from and how tight those ads get reviewed. Broad statements like that are just ignorant, and I say that as someone who uses an adblock on all of their devices.
