I went back to it and am really enjoying it, using my existing characters. The servers they were on are gone, but was easy to find a new one. And after paying my housing upkeep, all my stuff is still there.
I'd stopped playing before Angry Earth was released (and when watermarking was still a thing). Almost all of the issues I had with it at fixed, and some great QoL and story updates.
Still getting used to the increased gear levels, level adjustments in some zones, and such.
I assume all the bot farms are paying for the privilege.
So, the Internet of Shit is not just a euphemism now. Great...
As with every legal topic on the Internet: depending on your (international) jurisdiction.
Nice. Thanks for sharing that.
As much as I'd like it to be, it doesn't have the network effect/popularity that Reddit does. It covers maybe 70-80% of my Digg+ needs, but there are many topics/subs I want that Lemmy just doesn't have.
"Be the change you want to see" is always there: if a topic/sub doesn't exist, you can always create it yourself. But no good deed goes unpunished, so you're now the owner/moderator...
This makes me think of the Sikh community's charity/giving (can't remember the term) food giving that happens in most towns globally where there a Gurdwara.
There has to be a better way than waves hands everything, really.
I have Netdata running in a container, which has a useful all-in-one-pane view, and it does a good job of auto detecting other containers and the host OS. Its essentially zero config.
It also has alerting capability, which is not zeroconf (configuring it properly is a bit of a chore). ๐
They try to push a pro/paid version, but it's subtle and completely optional (a bit like the way Portainer does it).
I was dragged along to see it at the cinema in the (then) new 3D format (versus the old red/blue glasses).
Took me 10 minutes to realise the story is Pocahontas, so I've always thought of it as Pocahontas Smurfs. And the 3D, while a cool novelty, gave me motion sickness something fierce.
While clearly no money was spent on the script, it did move animation technology and adoption along quite a bit.
Gobsmacked a sequel was made.
Quokka on Rottnest Island (Western Australia)?
Followed by trying to stop fuckwits from playing "quokka soccer". ๐คญ
The clock on my PVR (01:59) and the light switch. It's time for bed...
I think it's cultural differences. In the west, we abhor pay to win and predatory aspects. But in Korea, China and other countries in that region, players demand it.
So then it comes down to which market region you're targeting. If you're not a NA/EU mobile developer, how do you choose? ๐คทโโ๏ธ Can't keep everyone happy.
