Incredible. Given how expensive dental treatment is in a lot of places, this could be revolutionary for people who can’t afford regular checkups and/or treatment plans. It’s not going to be a replacement but it can certainly mitigate a lot of damage.
I’m not a fan of it. I think live service games generally comes with battle passes, which are essentially preordering DLCs. DLCs that have not been announced, with no details and nothing else. They also often offer some exp bonus or in game items. I think this has an impact on how the game is balanced. The bonuses can’t be game breaking so they have to nerf the base game experience to make it “valuable”.
I think it can be done well if the base game is free. Dota 2 and csgo are good examples of it because the bonuses that come with battle passes are mostly cosmetic, and they help the support game development. If the base game is £60, then the company can fuck off. I prefer standalone games with expansion packs being released at a later time. Being able to play offline is also great, even though I am rarely without Internet access.
I have it but I have never used it. I’ve been using my Galaxy note 9 user since December 2018. I have active noice cancelling headphones for most scenarios and true wireless earphones for gym.
Xmanager, newpipe, Firefox with ublock origin and dark reader extensions.
Wow I never thought I would live to see Mewgenics getting released. Definitely adding it to the wishlist
I haven’t played for years but I enjoy the memes and YouTube content. Sailing would mean more content to watch so I hope it passes
That’s exactly why there needs to be enough people to vote for the environment focused government party, if any. There’s no downside to raising awareness when there are still people out there who are in denial of climate change. I did not know about the fake protest arrests. Imo, no one can be perfect in the way their convey their message. Convincing the mass is a difficult thing to do. People will have various opinions on what’s the right way to protest/spread the message. The important thing is that effort is spent, and it’s having an impact. Lastly, we don’t need to focus on one issue at a time as a society. Different groups of people can be responsible for different tasks.
Are you implying that she was doing it for the fame? She missed out on school and a lot of normal teenager activities because she prioritised spreading awareness on climate change. Regardless of the reasons why she or anyone is doing it, her impact is undeniable. I think assuming the worst isn’t fair. It’s not like she has been in scandals related to corruption. Many celebrities and politicians are way more full of shit. She is consistently doing what she can for the environment.
To address your other point: Yes, there has been some actions taken in the past. Yes, there has been some awareness on it spread in the past. No one is saying she’s the first one to do so. The point is those actions and bits of awareness wasn’t enough. That’s why we are where we are. That’s why polar caps are melting at record speed. Amazon forest is the smallest it has ever been. (90+% of the space is used for animal farming). That’s why our global climate is hotter and wilder than ever (record high global average temps last month).
If you don’t think these things are an issue then I can see why spreading awareness would feel like a waste of time. However, if that’s the case then I would strongly recommend looking up the effects and potential dangers of the direction we’re headed regarding climate change. Our future generations are fucked.
Awareness is oversimplifying it but it’s a necessary first step for any major movement/revolution. What can one hope to achieve if people won’t acknowledge the problem? Greta highlighted the importance of climate change to many people around the world, and I’m sure she’s a role model to many as well. Many more people are plant based/vegan now compared to 5 years ago. Companies are profit driven so every little change from people makes a difference. It’s the power of awareness that can push people to change for their new found beliefs.
I lost 18 minutes of progress. I continued from my old save at around 1705
After a few hours, I closed the game and saw the update had come out at 1712
Oh well, still has fun replaying those segments
I don’t have any specific games to play after work. I just play whatever I’m enjoying most. Currently, that game is baldurs gate 3. I haven’t played anything else since Thursday. Before that, it was Spiritfall. It’s a roguelite with brawlhalla/smashbros type combat fused with hades’ blessings power ups. It’s still in early access but it’s pretty polished, and a lot of fun. I was also playing risk of rain 2 from time to time but boy does it take a while to get good at that game…
Both games are great. Blooms TD is a great way to kill time. The sounds of balloons popping take a while to get old.
I haven’t played loop hero since launch but it may be time to replay it
Yup. Fuck Ubisoft. The last game from them was Child of light, and it will stay that way.
Nier Replicant
I reached ending A, and I’m finally beginning to see interesting differences in the current route. Finally got my Dualsense controller to work via Bluetooth on pc as well
Definitely another reason to hold off buying a handheld for me
Cheat engine is one of the best things for modern gaming. I love many roguelites but when it gets too slow to progress, I’m using chest engine to make things more fun.
So far I’ve picked up Cassette Beasts and Nier Replicant. The former is a monster tamer game which I really enjoyed. Mechanics were fun, and the world exploration was superb. You unlock abilities for movement kind of like BOTW/Hollow Knight.
Nier Replicant has hot androids
Just finished the main storyline for Pokemon infinite fusion. Great game, highly recommend. There are a lot of custom sprites for fused Pokemon so the product end up looking pretty goofy/creepy/cool/cute/weird depending on which Pokemon is head and body.
Next up is probably going to cyberpunk 2077 or Nier Replicant.
