To be fair, a blank slate can also result in collective choice paralysis.
If it had been clear from the start that they’re just doing another Fallout, then they could have gotten started on a main quest surrounding a nuclear freak accident with post-apolyptic hardships and maybe a reunification side arc.
With Starfield, they first had to decide what problems might exist in this blank slate, before they could start telling about it.
Yeah, this is like my personal hell, to have a streamer do/play something that I’m genuinely interested in, but also, they’re a streamer.
Could be German. It’s not pronounced precisely like “Kyle”, but close enough, and “Keil” is the German word for “wedge”.
I imagine, that’s most governments. The political pushback will be lessened a lot, if people lose interest, so then a block is more likely to go through.
I mean, if you don’t mind the quality, you can just crop it…
Today, we had a meeting with one of our customers and they couldn’t get their mic to work, but we decided to continue anyways.
So, the whole meeting was us just talking and then watching them give a thumbs-ups into the camera or typing into chat. It was very surreal…
Wow, I did not know, they changed their logo. Yeah, not a fan…
Well, it is kind of an extreme example to illustrate that OP feels like they have to save money wherever they can. Well, it might also be somewhat of a hyperbole for comedic effect, I don’t know that.
I feel like most people just don’t need to look into it much. Like, it’s kind of obvious enough (if one is aware of it), that no plastic bottle is better than a plastic bottle, and it’s not like bar soap is a massive downgrade.
Personally, I tried them for climate min-maxing reasons, but then found out that I actually prefer them by a lot.
But then as the others said, it’s not like it will win the climate war. So, if someone does have a reason or even just a preference for liquid soap, there’s no point in berating them specifically for that. Like, wash yourself with liquid soap all you want, and rather give some vegan food options an honest try or take the bus more often or something along those lines.
Seems like they switched to this logo:
It does kind of feel like the logo of a consultancy/legal/finance group to me. But I could also imagine this looking decent when embossed onto a phone…
This year has been so strange, with seemingly a new hype title every two weeks or so. I wonder what lead to this…
They’re often simply not connected to the internet and left un-updated for years…
or even something hosted in person with actual demos like E3. Does anything like this exist?
The GamesCom in Germany always hosts the Indie Arena Booth, which has tons of indie devs densely packed in tiny booths, where you can play demos.
Since the pandemic, they’ve also had an online offering, where during the GamesCom, you can explore a virtual space with virtual booths, which will then also link to playable demos that you can download from Steam.
Sounds to me like the scam is to attract workers with stock benefits.
Yeah, biggest challenge here, as with many “no-code” solutions before, is that it needs to be essentially perfect to be worthwhile. As soon as something doesn’t work, you’re just left with a slew of logic that you don’t understand and you really ought to start over fresh to give yourself a chance at learning…

Honestly, I expect them to just remain in violation, unless they get sued or reprimanded by one of our user protection organisations.
But yeah, they can serve different frontends or just with different configuration for different user groups. They probably do that already, e.g. to display a cookie banner for users in the EU.
Having seen previous lawsuits in this area, I doubt that’s good enough. Like, it’s still clearly designed to be deceptive.
It’s illegal here in Germany. Ads need to be clearly recognizable as such.
They’re mentioning the race and gender basically to say “a privileged person”. Having privileges obviously influences your character. And race+gender correlate with privileges.
So, while there’s no direct causation, and us white males who aren’t chumps don’t need to be offended, it’s often good enough of an explanation why a particular white male might be a chump.
