Fixed save points in general.

To be fair, non-fixed savepoints introduce a bunch of additional work, especially on the gameplay design and testing sides, and for some games that work is better invested into other aspects of the game.

But if savepoints are fixed, they have to be frequent enough to not become an issue.

Wait. Did Vince Gilligan add that one awkward scene (with Skyler doing the thing from the meme) to secretly imply that Marilyn Monroe ordered the hit on JFK?

Is there a single Paradox title that doesn't do exactly this?

That also goes for the first. Doesn't Jesse Eisenberg turn into water in one scene?

The article opens with:

LOCAL AUTHORITIES HAVE been instructed to implement 30km/h speed limits in built-up and urban areas “where appropriate” by 2027.

Now, do you really think "where appropriate" includes roads built for 100km/h?

Imagine seriously using break... when I was young we had a break, it's called SIGKILL. And we liked it this way!

Wait, you'd seriously throw a tantrum because you don't have useless AI features enabled? That's sad.

My company uses our company teams on our company computers, and we do have the "Upgrade to Premium" button, even though our company pays for Teams.

Though I guess it's a great filter - who'd wanna be part of a company that's stupid enough to pay extra for "Teams Premium"?

They literally added an "Upgrade to Premium" button a few weeks ago. Yes, it applies to Teams

No? The article literally explains that it's for something else?

Hey! I'm looking for an alternative to Sync, and Summit looks great.

Unfortunately it defaults to German, and (as is usually the case) the translation isn't great, e.g. the font names are translated (and the translations aren't correct). So I'd like to use English.

But I can't find the setting. I searched for "lang" as well as the German word in the settings, but it seems there's no language selection.

Is there really no way to change your selected language, except for changing your phone language? That would be a bummer.

 

Let's face it: the app has been abandoned for longer than is acceptable, especially at this price level. It's no longer working correctly on newer Lemmy versions, and there's no indication the dev is still active.

Yes, he worked similarly during Reddit times, but a) Sync was much cheaper back then, and b) Reddit didn't change as much.

Right now, to unsuspecting users Sync seems great given the 4.9 star rating on the Play Store. They'll possibly buy this app before noticing that it's subtly broken.

Please consider giving Sync a bad rating, but if you do so, explain why. Write about the broken functionality, so others don't fall into the same trap.

 

It doesn't stop. It just never stops.

 

Everyone has something they can't stop themselves from nerding out over - but often it's hard to find people to talk to about it. So go ahead, share your interests, and tell us about them!
