Oof. Yeah maybe. I did play Skyrim on release, on a bloody PS3 no less. Pure pain.

Hopefully it doesn't take them that long.

It might be, although I've read of some freezes happening even on the fastest SSD in the world so... idk, I think they might have fucked up somewhere. I also suspect there might be some memory leaks, although this comes solely from my experience, I have no data to show.

Yes, all very cool, but when are they going to fix the actual issues? Like, I don't know, the constant freezes?

I'm loving this game so far, I'm playing it every night, but it feels like a constant test of my patience.

You do it if you want to, it's a game :)

You can make decent money off it, but first and foremost it should be something you enjoy. Personally I think that's a very chill way of breaking the monotony, after having spent too much time flying around or walking through cities to complete quests. Exploring planets has got the nice plus of not having to deal with loading screens, unless you want to get back to your ship and move to a different biome.

Certified email would solve this, if it was possible to self host it.

Unfortunately running it requires government approval and the resulting emails are legally binding, so I assume hosts will have to go through all kinds of security controls and audits.

This post glows so hard I'm going to need a pair of sunglasses.

It is possible to use Discord from the browser without necessarily making an account, but many big servers have restrictive measures that prevent users without a verified email addreds (or even a verified phone number, in the strictest of cases) to access. This will depend on your friends' setup.

I don't know if it's possible to bridge Discord to Matrix, but I can tell you that it's got a pretty prolific API for building bots and integrations, so someone might have already built something of that kind. Alternative clients are tecnically against the TOS (afaik) but I know of people who have built large projects without ever getting any complaints from the company.

  1. No
  2. Yes
  3. I would have guessed that, yes. I guess I just learnt a new word lol

Coconout milk would be confusing if they didn't put a picture of a coconout on the label and made it evident that it what you are buying isn't actually milk. I simply believe this same reasoning also extends to meat and any other products that may have a plant based alternative.

To be fair I hardly ever buy packaged meat so I'm not sure how their labels would look. Though I would expect the plant industries would try and pass their plant based product as the real thing, to trick omnivorous people on buying it instead, so they would write "plant based" or whatever as small as possible if at all (depending on food regulations in the country they are selling it in, of course).

I guess such an assumption would base itself in vegetarian people being more careful with what they buy, compared to normal people, otherwise they'd be tricking them too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Eh I hadn't really considered the flip side but it makes sense, it's also a problem the other way around for vegetarian folks wanting to be able to spot vegetarian products at a first glance, yeah.

Rare French W.

If you wish buy plant based "meat" you should be free to do that, but calling "steak" what clearly isn't is just trying to fool the customer into buying something they're probably not interested in purchasing.

I love this LMAO. I'd take notes if only my campaigns ever got that far (they never do).
