My man, this isn't shaming. It's someone politely pointing out that the entire world isn't your personal soap box.

Want to speak out about how shit Ubisoft is? Go make your own thread. I'm being serious, Lemmy is overdue for some name and shame of horrendous game companies, and it'd be good to have some sort of megathread documenting their bullshittery here on the fediverse.

This also doesn't really offer a different perspective on whether the game is enjoyable or not. Your justified distaste for Ubisoft is an entirely different topic to the question asked.

Does anyone else remember Microsoft's amazingly tone deaf slide deck about how integrating their systems and making thing seamless across multiple platforms including mobile phones and laptops would allow people to work during any/every spare moment in their lives, like while commuting?

Businesses want to own every moment of your life not strictly required for continued existence. If they can normalize using sleep time for extra "passive" income by using your dream power or by just renting out "spare" brain computation power, they will.

Expecting any part of the brain to work that simply is foolish. We already know that REM sleep does a lot of the lifting for forming long term memories and processing complex input from your waking hours. Not to mention the importance of it for actual rest/recharging so you aren't an exhausted zombie all the time.

Sounds like a wonderful idea to just fuck around with that.

Fair enough. Just always seemed like a weird repeated sticking point.

For anyone looking to buy it cheaper, look for OEM key resellers. It's the discounted price for companies preinstalling Windows. You can only install it on one device though, instead of whatever "multiple install grace window" they allow normally.

For anyone wanting it for free, MASgrave utilizes some sort of loophole with an official licensing method meant for corporations to get Microsoft to grant you a valid official license key for free. Microsoft can't go back and somehow differentiate these keys from paid legit ones, so there's no risk. Just make sure you're getting MASgrave from their official source on github so there isn't any malware snuck in. It also has some functionality for Office licenses as well.

Also worth noting that with effort, you can excise the overwhelming majority of the anti-consumer bullshit from Windows. Not really accessible to the average joe though, real easy to break shit or not disable things properly so they get re-enabled through updates.

If you're up for tinkering, there's a decent bit of mods for ship of harkinian. You can replace models with the 3DS ones, or even with Twilight Princess ones. There's also mods for higher resolution textures.

Lastly, check out all the settings. I forget what QoL are switched on by default, but there's a good amount of QoL you can toggle, like putting boots on the d-pad for quick equipping and unequipping so the Water Temple doesn't suck.

The iron boots mess is fixed in the PC (and etc) recompilation that OP is playing. Ship of Harkinian.

Yes, because they totally are enforing that hare-brained move on the other platforms they own, like on Youtube and sites returned in the search 🙄.

They don't give a singular shit about your politics, or about inclusivity. They care about money. They only care about avoiding bad PR if it gets bad enough to impact their money.

You all keep complaining about this shit, but the most I've seen any of these companies do is toss an incredibly lazy word filter up on posting stuff publicly, and on rare occasions taking manual action after enough reports or against celebrities.

Ok, this is the second time I've seen this $250 price. Where did you get that from?

Worst I'm seeing is ~$60 for a usb set up to install Pro along with the license, and you can easily get OEM Pro licenses for far far less.

Haven't played in around a year and a half. Shame, it had been a weekly thing for our little 3 person crew. We had even started to be able to hold our own in PvP ship battles.

Nope, this specific green tinted skeleton is what the game uses as a fallback if there's some issue with loading or displaying a player model.

The PvP curses look different.

Yep, but this specific green tinted skeleton is what the game uses as a fallback if there's some issue with loading or displaying a player model.
