  • Venmo/ Paypal Alternatives

  • Money transfer platforms are even worse than chat apps in terms of how acceptance dictates usefulness. You might convince a couple of friends to use xmpp instead of whatsapp. But its near impossible to get major outlets to integrate new payment methods. Especially if that platform advocates privacy and therefore doesn't offer a return on invest based on user data. I don't think we're gonna see true alternatives without government regulation, and even then...

  • fighting over the little money that most younger gamers have to spend

    That's where the money is tho. Presents, pocket money, paychecks that don't need to go to rent and utilities. Everything I had I put into games when I was a kid. Sure I do have more money now, but I also have exponentially more bills to pay. My dad is retired and is pirating left and right cuz he can't afford gaming. Also, kids don't inform themselves before buying. They're much more prone to ads, social pressure, etc... Adults don't care if a game is 5 years old, which incidentally can be bought for a fraction of the initial price.

  • Macron calls the rise of far-right parties an 'ill wind' for Europe

    Jump

  • Exactly this. He's a corpocrat, which is a big no-no in the french public eye. Also, he has more of an assimilation instead of integration style in regards to immigration politics, so he's right leaning as well. Doesn't help that the left doesn't have any candidates that anyone can take seriously.

  • I played through the invincible. Great story, visuals and voice acting. I am however reminded, that walking simulators aren't really games. The whole thing should have been a mini series.

  • Strictly speaking, if being trackable is an issue for you, you shouldn't run around with bluetooth enabled in the first place. And incidentally, no BT means no find my device either.

    Objectively, these three statements form a paradox. At least one statement has to be false.

  • THQ Nordic Game 'Biomutant' Achieves 20 Times More Sales Than Expected On The Switch In Japan

    Jump

  • That's really surprising to read. The game has been been described a solidly mid by every review outlet. Does portability really offset the repetitiveness by that much?

  • The characters are great. It's not BG3 obviously, but there's enough depth there. Like I said, it's on the level of a goofy action movie plot from 20 years ago. No ones gonna get an oscar but you'll be entertained nonetheless.

  • It has a lot of Doom-like exploration for new gear and other goodies. Also a handful optional bosses which are pretty hard to beat. But the shooting revolves around basically 3 weapon types (magic types in this case): a DMR, an SMG and a shotgun. The variations thereof don't feel different enough and the feedback lacks kick, so the shooting doesn't feel very meaty. It's still solid enough, but the story is definitely what carried me through the 20ish hours of the game.

  • I just finished Immortals of Aveum. I really liked the story. Felt like an early 2000 science fiction action movie. It's gorgeous looking but the shooting didn't have enough oomph to be really fun, so I stopped playing after the credits rolled. Didn't feel the need to 100% it.

    Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?

    Jump

  • I would still recommend turning wifi off when leaving home for privacy reasons (which can easily be automated). The process to identify if a network is trusted or not requires a handshake. So leaving wifi on makes you trackable by the wifi network operators and the apps on your phone with access to your wifi, wether you connect a network or not.

  • Was kann ich meinen Arbeitskollegen sagen, dass höflich ist, sodass sie mich mit aufdringlichen Fragen und Tiraden nicht nerven, arbeiten gehen und mich arbeiten lassen?

    Jump

  • Mit einer Tatsache wirst du dich abfinden müssen. Es gibt keine dramafreie Möglichkeit da rauszukommen. Wenn die schon Theater machen, wenn du die Klingel genauso ignorierst wie die, dann werden die erst erst abgehen, wenn du den Grenzen aufzeigst, egal wie höfflich. Alle Sprüche, die du hier beispielsweise aufgeführt hast, sind passend. Hau die einige Wochen bei jeder passender Gelegenheit raus und die werden dich irgendwann in Ruhe lassen. Aber die werden dich aller Wahrscheinlichkeit auch ausgrenzen. Und die Klingel wird weiter ignoriert. Die sind ja offensichtlich eher zum schnacken auf der Arbeit.

  • I played a resist durge and I get the feeling I saw like at least 80% of the game. I might do a murder hobo illithid run at some point, where I drag all my origin companions to the dark side. But another 100 hour run just to see the remaining 20%... I don't know, seems like work.

  • Couldn't participate in these threads for a while, because it would have been the same game over and over again. But now I'm finally free! I beat Baldurs Gate 3 with a 150+ hours resist dark urge run.

    I started Immortals of Aveum as a palate cleanser. Pretty decent FPS with a cool story and lots of secrets.
