Ori and the blind forest

Didn't click with the floaty movement and combat. But once you get through the first hours, the game is a delight

Choosing to retire his version of the Joker because Kevin Conroy passed away is a very sensible and respectful decision

Nope, it's not even the season pass. I was giving such examples regarding the whales who want to look cool, but in reality others often only see the default skin if it's from past season.

The 60$ skin is their pay to play roulette to get a 1% to get said skin with increasing price to get next "prize"

Maps, warframes, weapons and skins will also likely be loaded as needed, so you'll probably start with 20GB but bloat to 60 as you play

Another trick I noticed playing CoD mobile is that they don't load every other player's skin, only the latest. So if your install doesn't have it, it only display's the default skin for other players. Which also mean that the skin you paid 60$ for in the last Season Pass is only visible by a few players.

You just brought back fond memories of mine

I loved sliding that keyboard

Really depends on your age and interests

I started learning programming concepts as a teen by using RPG Maker. It introduced me to concepts such as variables, conditions, loops in a "low code" environment.

Thing is, I had a reachable goal which made it easier for me to learn and feel good as I had a tangible result. Things such as "I want to add a point everytime I touch X item" where very good for this.

IMO, I wouldn't worry too much about the language at first and focus on small reachable goals you want to achieve. But to each his own way of learning.

Like games? You should probably check out GDevelop.

Want to automate some of your online tasks? Maybe n8n.io.

Also, it's better if the tool you use starts with a high level of abstraction (it's very esay to use) and allows you to add in some scripts.

If you want to go further, pick a language and go through the basics. And if you're feeling even more adventurous, head to roadmap.sh to find a learning path towards your goal.

Edit: Also, ChatGPT is really good to teach you IF you always ask it to explain whatever you don't fully understand in the code it writes

And he's not alone.

I'm on tech Twitter and trying to switch to Mastodon. Unfortunately, the latest news and top content are still on Twitter and I don't want to be missing out on either of those.

Cool, so now it's a "work laptop" and I can justify expensing it !!

Only reason why they'd put Word on it IMO

My mind just did the same association even though I knew the meaning.

If you remember JRPG has a J for Japan, it's easy for your brain to go with C stands for Chinese, even if that doesn't make sense when you really think about it.

Also, side note, just chill out with the conspiracy theories. And actually give the guy the proper explanation of what the term stands for like the comment next to yours.

I know and I researched quite a bit before making the jump.

Basically there are couple of things which make me think they won't just shut down:

  • They've been around for quite a while (10 years as of now)
  • They're betting on the ever decreasing costs of storage to manage their margin
  • They still try to sell you complementary products
  • They don't ever have to increase your max storage unless you pay again
  • They still have monthly subscription available

All in all, I've felt pretty safe using them and I've done the cloud provider switch once so I can do it again

PCloud, once in a lifetime payment. Quite happy with it and works well with RSync

Just buy it on black friday as it's usually their lowest "on sale" price (they are always on sale it seems)
