Yeah and you can still see the impressive art team at play with marathon (in impressed they still managed to keep talented people, seeing how they fired people left and right).

However, is there really a market for extraction shooter these days? The choice of making this kind of game really feel like trend chasing and generaly this doesn't end well...

I was extremely active on it until lightfall.

The way they added story "filler", the nonsensical scenario, the fomo/mandatory grind as well as the "you have to pay for everything" finally pushed me over the edge of my rabbid "I need to play" and completionist tendency. It was the last straw.

I'm gland I left because it's when shit started e to hit the fan:

• they started to make you pay for a lot of thing that was previously included in the expansions (dungeons, raid,...).
• They started to fire their (highly talented) staff en masse.
• FOMO was getting out of control indeed.
• You could feel the greed out of most of the decisions.
• Vaulting content (why???)

Shame because

• it was of the best shooting/power gameplay out there. The art and design was incredibly.
• The lore was deepd and with a lot of "hidden" link darksoul style (even if it'd be easy to argue it was just obscure and writer had no idea what they were doing)
• The sci/fantasy mix was working very well and for me is still unique so far.

I might give it a go again, but it'll not be the same without my old clan.

Ouah destiny 2 is still alive? Bungie hasn't managed to kill it by squeezing out for money yet?

Same, honestly posting something false without clearly stating it as such is... How fake news starts I guess?

Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a pattern in which online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.

Yes, we are in the third phase: service to user is free diving in order to increase money to M$ shareholders?

Glass?

That sound like a very, very, VERY poor material choice...

Another lemmy gold.

Thanks for allowing me to learn cathodic TV this old was still manufactured in the US in 2018.

Honestly, taking into account how important modding is for the TES serie, I'd say it's better to aim PC for this one.

Jailing opposition leader and biggest rival before the election, on made up charges, is not compatible with "elections" and more with dictatorship.

Thank you for these news/updates :D

As a lover of physical packaging and manual a bit saddened by the current full digital tendencies it was great to learn about all these info!

Damn as somebody with very little coding or IT background whatsoever but had to learn excel on my last 5 year of work, I understood it all.

Especially the cell merging... Spawn of the devil itself...

Still power query is quite addictive, the main reason why moving to OpenOffice is hard.

As I biologist I understand:

-*random bio subject in conversations.

-oh but you're biologist right? Is that true?

-well, I know just enough to be able to tell you the level of my ignorance on the subject. Unless it's linked to my master thesis (which is probably obsolete by now) no need to ask me.
