I think it is okay to have a dlc IF it is fairly priced, there is proper content included and the base wasn’t gutted for it.

Positiv example would be Factorio. Negative example is Stellaris.

Probably because the creator had a blog post that got shared around at a point in time where this exact problem was resonating with users.

It’s not always about being first but about marketing.

It also is an option to ensure everyone has the same dev environment.

I’ve seen a tablet for old people. The whole interaction is limited to NFC cards. Instead of having to open an app to start a video call, you put the Call Flipper card in a tray. On the other side I can send pictures which are then displayed for her.

My 95 grandma would never have been able to use a smartphone/tablet otherwise.

I got something better for you.

This only half as bad as the emoji soup macros

For AMD it was executed on one core of the CPU. So the problems you’re talking of, with AMD cards is exactly what I mean.

Not in my experience. On the CPU it only uses one core for me.

I want to disagree on German. It isn’t verbose. We’ve got several words where there isn’t an equivalent in pretty much any other languages. Including Schadenfreude und Torschlusspanik (the feeling that you are getting older l, can’t find a partner and will die alone).

The same EU legal text has in German 22.118 words Vs English 24.698.

The making me cry part, that’s fair. Overcomplicated, could be worse.
