Tangentially, isn’t the phrase, “WITH abandon,” to mean unchecked, or unrestrained?

Anachronox. Ion Storm at it’s best. Engaging plot and characters, humor well ahead of its time for a game script, and party members and environments that I’ve still never seen many games match to this day. I don’t know why it didn’t become huge, I think the rpg crowd back then was still pretty married to sword and sandal conventions. If you like old games, I can’t recommend it enough.
I think it’s important that you know that another human being on Lemmy got both sides of your joke. You earned my upvote.
UC cousin in the house. I got a cheap bidet seat, loved it, and ended up splurging for the full on Toto, automated, temperature adjusted, and air dry bidet. If THAT’S not heaven, it’s awfully close .
Seriously, you’ll practically weep with how much less miserable a flare up is with one of these nearby.
Also thought it was webs in a sunbeam for a sec. The opposite of calming, really.
That was a lame joke about the check mark. 😔
Why is Javascript on Twitter?
“Ofc, Bender Bending Rodriguez is capable and willing to bend anything, including gender, but this wasn’t that episode”
Good save, you almost got one helluva nerd thrashing.
Apparently they still exist. I just haven’t seen one in my city in almost 20 years. A quick search shows they’re now owned by the same parent company as Einstein. Einstein is fine but I liked Breugger’s better.
I like cinnamon raisin bagels…with scallion and herb cream cheese. It’s sweet and savory and the contrast is as good as a super hot shower with an ice cold drink.
Breugger’s bagels, may they rest in peace, used to have a bacon/scallion cream cheese. That was divine on cinnamon raisin bagels. I don’t know what upset people more, the scallion on a sweet substrate, or the bacon on a bagel. It doesn’t matter, if this is goy, I don’t want to be kosher.
Hmmm. They’ll be back soon enough. Manslaughter? 🤔
Didn’t know they could look like that. Neat!
I don’t want to spoil anything, but if you decide that his back story has twisted him into a vengeful madman, you can uhh…get pretty crazy powerful with him late game.
Thank you for correcting my misinformaion. I have edited my post, while pointing out the error, My sincere apologies.
I feel somewhat the same on single player, but this is competitive GAAS, and they knew exactly what they were doing when they did it here. People who do this seriously already know every map, every spawn and every weapons characteristics within three days. (I’m wrong about this see below) This is simply another pay to win mechanic for the kind of people who play 12 hours a day, reach max rank in three days and hunt rookies who didn’t spend the extra money to play early.

I have been corrected and apologize for the mistake. It is not competitive and that mostly renders my point moot. I’m leaving this here for posterity.
If this functions to poll users broadly, then count another one for NOT federating. I came to Lemmy to not have my feed dominated by a tsunami of corporate junk curated by one of the worst influences in modern society. And if the counter argument is that I can block their content, then you can go join threads. I have no desire to be on a service where the majority of other users are constanly being fed crap from Meta and then interacting here, even if I can’t see the initial influence. I can go elsewhere, sure, and will if they federate, but I like it so far and would rather not. But consider, at least, the kind of thing .world will become if the only people here are people who think, “Hey, maybe Zuck’s new project won’t be so bad!”
Yes! I wonder how a company working with Cambridge analytica to start a war, and influence elections worldwide, who sold children’s personal information illegaly in EU, and gleefully partcipates in the Prism surveillance program, would be? 🤔 I mean it’s not like they just gutted their staff trying to deal with misinformation for the 24 election. We simply can’t predict how they might behave!
Look at it this way, Google stopped caring about their viewers as anything more than wallets to empty years ago. Now they’re going through the same cycle with advertisers. They don’t care if the ads land, or the targeting works, just that they can convince them to keep buying ad space.
Eventually the ROI will show as not worth it to the advertisers, but by then Pichai and the rest of the C-suite will be pulling the same scam at another company whose investors are more greedy and stupid than saavy.
Because the horrible truth of America now, is that CEOs and their ilk have stopped caring about creating value, or building a sustainable business model with long term revenue. Now they just look at witless investors as wallets to be emptied too.
