Can we all at least agree that counting numbers are a joke? Sometimes they start at zero … sometimes they start at one …

I could be mistaken, but since it’s a Mozilla base code and F-Droid distribution chain, I’m not sure where Google can stick it’s thumb in the pie.

Precisely

Still bet someone will create a new set of assets that fit like a glove for preservation purposes. But kinda sucks that it’s not quite as useful as I was naïvely thinking.

(currently scrolling from the throne) Fixed that for you

Honestly? They’re probably going to continue to offer the game on Steam and it will probably continue to trickle in revenue. Most people who are interested in the game have already bought it, so it’s never going to draw in millions again.

The game is currently listed at $15, but goes on sale frequently for $3. I bet many new players would be happy to pay steam $3 for the cloud save and steam’s easy game management, as opposed to compiling from source for every new PC install.

Finally, the gameplay loop between Rogue Legacy and Rogue Legacy 2 are pretty similar. This means the the original is a good extended demo for the sequel which is .$25, but up to 50% off. Frankly, it’s a great marketing move at this stage in the game’s lifetime.

File under “abusive uses of technology”

Yes. Since Halloween is the last day of October, the 31st, it’s kinda never on the 13th. So yeah, it’s a shitpost.

Not everyone thinks of dog, there’s a bit of a bell curve.

Cracking a phone is pretty doable. Cracking phones in a way that will hold up in a court trial, much more formal.

I thought her insights were practical and grounded. Do you disagree about the factual nature of their anecdote about engagement with cameras off? Or that the anecdote isn’t indicative of general audiences? Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by “what actual people are actually like”?

It’s worse then that. They’re actively profiting from that discount rate, meaning they’re ludicrously profiting from everyone who doesn’t spend half their life getting discount codes (the cost of convenience)

Yep yep. Was hoping someone would call me out on that. 😝

Nah. I’ve been advocating for Linux for decades. For decades I’ve been trying to convince people to switch on its own merits, but none of that has been effective.

It took Microsoft sabotaging their product for me to see the needle shift. So I’m done trying to convince people with carrots, it’s time for Microsoft to convince the masses with sticks.
