  • They sell hardware, everything they make is there to want you to purchase the next version of it.

    Their lockin game is on point. I was reading an article about how kids bully other kids who are not using apple products because their icons are another color.

    I think ideally we should all use something that’s open source, e2e encrypted, and platform agnostic, but you are not going to get either Apple or Google on board with that since you can’t really make money off it.





  • This is where I was. Decent game, just lost interest after like 2 weeks. There was a bit too much fishing around in the inventory and clicking through menus.

    There were definitely a few cool moments in it, but I think they got to engrossed in the procgen planets to really give it all that handcrafted feel. Having 1000 planets forced the content to be too spread out. And other games have been out for years that handle the procgen better.

    7/10 review guy was right. Decent game with some cool parts, but also a lot of issues and annoyances.





  • Yeah, I have a network attached brother black and white printer. It’s pretty great. It handles 98 percent of my printing workload, no fuss, I honestly don’t remember the last time I changed any toner. Has a scanner on top that works if I need it.

    If I want something big/nice and in full color I can always go down to the print shop. But for your common printing it’s great.



  • Call me old fashioned, but I don’t play a game for the trading cards. I also don’t hang out there, I have used Discord for years. Overlay is less important now that I have 2 monitors. I just want a game on my computer that updates itself so it’s ready when I want to play it, and then gets out of the way.

    Gifting and a better cart experience I definitely agree with, those are so much better. But not 30 percent better.

    As far as the user base, it may be changing. There are 132 million active steam users vs 230 million epic pc users. Though I imagine the number that actually buys software is strongly in Steams favor, as they are going to be older and more used to spending where I suspect you see a lot of F2P players in epic. Does that demographic start changing as they age out of fortnight? Hard to say. Don’t have any stats on that though, just guessing.
