That seems great! I’ll definitely check it out

Any communities here on Lemmy that you’d also recommend?

And thank you once again!

So as a leftist that I think identifies with Marxist-Leninist ideology but that didn’t find the communist manifesto an interesting nor easy read (it was small but not really approachable) are there any books that you recommend? I’m no economist but I do like reading logical arguments as to why capitalism doesn’t work, or better said, doesn’t work for the good of the majority but instead for a small minority (for whom it works very very well)

i.e. you want to give the companies the guns to go hunting for food, except you still want to tell them what they can hunt, but you don’t have any guns yourself. But surely they will obey you and not point out that they have the guns so you should make whatever rules they want

In this case “you” is either the OP of this this thread or just a general you

Competition for entertainment is higher than ever. You even have extremely good free games

An upward increase makes sense only because corporations will try to squeeze every possible cent from consumer. That’s the only justification that they need

Games don’t cost 90$ today for other platforms tho… even Nintendo that are a few years old still cost basically the same as at launch

No, I disagree. If things are really fucked (as they are) 30% of a population is more than enough to enact change. If they are really motivated to do so. Get most of those 30% only the street and you see what power it has.

Of course with 80/90% it’s easier. Much much easier but that’s just fantasy land. You can get 90% of the population to agree on many basic facts, so you can forget about having then agree to protest together.

Plenty of revolutions were made, and dictatorships overturned with much fewer people on board.

I very much disagree on how much power 30% of the population has. Yes the electoral system you have in the USA is beyond stupid. However voting is only the easiest and most polite way to make change.

Go on strike, protest, build some guillotines. If the population really wants it, change will be made, even if it’s only 15/30%. Because the remainder of that population will not opposite necessarily. They just don’t care enough to protest.

Luigi Mangione is just 1 person for example.

That’s just wrong

Put 20/30% of the population of any city or county out on the streets and it will make headlines

It’s technically a loud minority but a very loud and significant minority

The problem is that of those 20/30% only 10% will actually get out on the streets so you are left with around 2% of the general population. And that ain’t much

Exactly

Black flag was great.

But are you playing with reduced graphics or did the game age that poorly?

2k hours on DotA2. No regrets. It’s an amazing game. I loved “studying” that shit. Optimizing my game.

I was never really that good but that isn’t the point

Legend!

2 days till 100 let’s go!!

My man ATTICUS!

Let’s go for 100

As other folk said, definitely do get the DLCs. There’s a whole other game in there.

It’s been a while since I last played, and this game IS a masterpiece, no doubt about that, but the one of the first sections can be rough. Iirc it’s gloomy af, there’s some hard monsters in some quests that can be demotivating and the combat/mechanics takes some getting used to which makes the previous point worse. Just know that the game opens up and there’s a whole world out there.

There are tons of side quests which are great, so you should do those but also don’t feel like you need to do all of them. It can be easy to get side tracked and then lose steam and quit on the main story.

Especially because like I said the DLCs are amazing. They are also quite self contained so it’s like a breath of fresh air

Enjoy this amazing game. I’m jealous of you

I mean do you really have to suggest him that? He’s gonna get hooked like we all did

In any case W3 gwent is actually kinda crap in terms of balance but that just means you can own them super hard at some point

Keep up the good work

You will be one of the Lemmy legends in the future

DotA and Dota 2

Also dune 2?

Isn’t it free up to a certain amount?

Also aren’t you able to create steam keys for free and resell them wherever you want and they won’t take a cut off those?

Let’s make it to 100 days!

The autocomplete is amazing

It just takes the mental strain out of syntax and I can focus more on the logic and structure of the code

Like you said much better for writing unit tests, but also for log messages and comments

Even the chat is sometimes useful but not as much. I treat it as much junior engineer assistant/rubber duck. I.e. I never completely accept what it outputs and usually review everything but quite often it gives me a different idea/approach even if it doesn’t write it 100% correct the first time. Because I always review it, having it autocomplete the next line is my preferred approach so I verify each line as they come.

Once you start to past 10/20+ lines in a row you will have a bad time.
