So programmers are now basically the equivalent of in-shop publishing house editors, or a better analogy, a script-doctor in the hollywood production scene.

A company vibe-codes something that is cheap and shitty, then has to pay an editor to actually make it usable.

I hate this timeline…just pay the person to create the code in the first place…

My issue with 76 is that due to the nature of it having to be on a multiplayer server at all times, there was no permancence to anything.

For example, when I would base build in FO4, I could spend some time clearing out the surrounding area of hostiles and be confident that it would stay clear for a least a good while. It’s how you survive. If I complete a quest, I get the reward and move forward in my plotline.

The first time I tried 76, I popped my base down without realizing I was accidentally within trigger range of one of the random quests that exist (Robots taking over a greenhouse or some shit), and literally every time I loaded up into the game, the exact same quest would trigger, because it has to. That’s how 76 works.

So I moved my base, except this time I cleared out a small group or raiders that had set up camp just a little ways down the road, and wouldn’t you know it…they respawn every…single…time I load the game.

That’s just how 76 is designed to work. Other than the main plot quests that are “instanced”, meaning that you complete them and it goes away, literally everything else, from fetch quests, to raider camps, to robots and monsters, to clearing out buildings all respawn and there’s nothing you can do to have some sense of permanence in your little settlement.

That’s not Fallout, that’s just a shooter.

Not the point of the meme, but where does one go about getting fresh supplies (ribbons, replacement keys, etc…) for old typewriters like this to keep them in top condition?

I’m no swifty. But I would be a huge fan if she dropped the hammer on Musk and Grok for this. It’s only a matter of time before Musky fucks with the wrong billionaire.

The only way that has any accuracy is if the Linux photo has a button that quite literally manages most of the other buttons for you, and the more complicated stuff exists really only if you want to do it manually.

You can get by just fine literally never touching any of those buttons day-to-day. But they’re there for the people who want to get down in the mud with their operating system.

As a Canadian, American Express most certainly exists here. A quick google search shows that it exists in the UK as well. I’m going to guess it exists in other major countries as well.

No idea about Discover though. Barely even knew it existed at all.

A crackdown by whom?

The people who have the power to change it are the people who want it the way that it is.

Protests don’t matter. Boycotts don’t matter. For one simple reason.

You’re not their customer. The people buying the data they collect from you are. There will never be enough people willing to do away with their precious smartphones and tablets to make a dent in ithat.

God how badly do I want to see a remaster/remake. So under rated. With a bit more fleshing out (It’s a pretty short, pretty linear experience) it could easily compete with the mechanics in Homeworld.
