But on the PlayStation Store, I can see a game is on sale and text my buddy who lives down the street about it, but when he opens the store it’s not on sale for him, only me.
One thing to note is that this is not software you expose publicly at all so it not being maintained isn’t the biggest deal in the world. The main concern will be media plays making changes that break it long term. And if you’re a an Emby/Jellyfin user, those softwares develop at a snails pace so you should be good for awhile.
You couldn’t zip line with the carrier initially, that came with the directors cut.
The zip line networks were definitely too strong in the first game, but that’s still leagues better than DS2 because with zip lines you at least have to complete a delivery to get the network online, then go out and set up your zip lines. It took some setup work.
In DS2 you just throw your cargo in a truck and go. It’s a little too effortless in a game where effort is supposed to be the point.
The people who voted him in are completely underwater in an ocean of perceived victimhood and exist in a state of existential distress and panic. Trump’s followers and the MAGA movement aren’t guided by morals or any particular set of virtues or personal conviction. They are victims of a culture war of their own creation and they are losing. They equate a the takeover of a sane government and righting-of-the-ship with death. They are not guided by logic or reason, they’re guided by fear.
You can’t look at these people and think “What’s it going to take?” As if there is some line somewhere that could be crossed that will change their minds. Thats not an option in the table. If saner heads prevail once again, it’s an indictment of their behavior and it means the death of the culture they’ve tried so hard to save. You wouldn’t look at a scared, cornered animal and ponder what it will take for it to stop being hostile.
On the other hand, it’s important to understand that the people who elevated this regime to power are not representative of “The American People” as a whole, and the American system of government was not designed to put the full faith of the people into the president for an entire term. The fact that the midterms are happening this year, halfway through the presidents term is not a coincidence, it’s a design baked into our system of government because the framers of the constitution understood that public sentiment can and will change more often than once every four years. And while it’s too early to know for sure, you can take solace in the fact that “the American people” have seemingly swung hard away from Trump since 2024, likely as a direct response to this administration, the same as last time.
CIV VI really dives into board game-like qualities and while it’s a double edged sword, I think what it does, it does very well. There is room in the series for experimentation and trying new angles. The problem with VII is it doesn’t seem to even know what it wants to be or how it wants to do it. It’s unfortunately a mess that I don’t think they can fix.
To be quite honest if IPads could just run Mac OS apps on it, it would be a dynamite device and I wouldn’t have even bought my MacBook. I bought an IPad for note taking, and basic work tasks I can do via SSH. The lack of desktop app support was the only thing that thing couldn’t do handily.
Steam games are either on sale, or they aren’t.
