  • That is objectively a false statement.

    Phantom Liberty is an expansion. Shadow of the Erdtree is an expansion. Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles are expansions. Echoes of the Eye is an expansion. Bad Company: Vietnam is an expansion. All of these amount to a third, to a half of the total game content. We used to buy them, and will continue buying them, because they add absolutely insane value to what you already really liked.

    “Exclusive cat content” that can only be obtained through a 30$ upgrade, and includes 3 new costumes, and whatever the hell cat content is, is dlc. This adds nothing of value for us, but lines the pockets of the studio shareholders quite substantially.

    Just because the large players in the industry are complicit, it doesn’t change history, and certainly it doesn’t change the vocabulary.









  • I genuinely cannot express how much it annoys me that I cannot have a blocklist for keywords.

    Most of the things I read are from my subscribed communities, which i’m very happy about generally, however given the overall state of life today, half of the posts in completely unrelated communities end up being one of the following:

    • Twitter CEO
    • Hate speech in US politics
    • AI propaganda for some pump and dump quick money

    I really just don’t want to see any of those things




  • Some of my closest friendships are people I’ve either never seen, or only got to meet a couple times. It’s not like living far away makes them worse friends.

    You never know what kind of situation you’ll end up in. One time my transfer flights got messed up, and I was left stranded in a random airport for almost a day. I ended up asking around, and one of those long-distance friends drove hours to pick me up, get me some food, and let me get rest too.

    Of course I’d love for them to live closer, so we can see each other regularly, but i’ll take what I can have



  • The headline felt a little weird, but turns out this wasn’t written by Eelco. I thought how can they have found nix in 2016 if they’ve created it to begin with lol

    Either way, I’ve switched all by one of my machines to Nix now, including my Darwin laptop, and it’s honestly been pretty damn good.

    Aside from the huge learning curve, and a pretty depressing turnover rate for an occasional package update request, especially when it comes to home-manager.

    The ability to have a flake structure, that you can push to git, and then re-use on all of your systems, is huge.




  • I used to own a Marshall MG15CF, and absolutely loved that thing. For the price, it was absolutely excellent.

    Depending on how much money you can spend, the Boss Katana will probably be the last amp you’ll need for personal use. Or otherwise, digital kits like stuff from NeuralDSP are my favorites too
