Changing the character designs wouldn’t require an all new game. If they can come up with a signature gamemode and better characters, they could have some moderate success.

TBH I had a look at Deadlock’s characters as well and frankly they’re not that inspired and interesting either, but people really like that game because of how it plays. Still that’s in early development so the characters could improve. IMO if the Concord devs make the characters hot, people will pay and play. I’m not saying that’s a good or bad thing, just what I think.

Amen lmao. Seems they hit the nail on the head.

Block the op i guess. People will upvote anything they agree with in ‘all’ filter

I’d been using linux for work for a couple years and it was going fine. I had a pretty crappy laptop at home with limited storage and I was constantly wrestling with Windows storing update stuff, installing adware during updates, etc.

I’d heard of proton and about how well it was going with it, so I had an idea linux gaming was possible.

Eventually something happened during a windows update that required I reinstall the OS and I just pulled out the flash drive I used to install linux on my work machine and tried it out. Eventually I did have to dual boot (on a bigger drive) for some games, but nowadays I’m all linux everywhere.

Jesus Christ, that’s a lot of weirdos.

The people don’t really do that. A move needs to start from the mods, whether it’s because they want to move or because they did something to piss everybody off.

Several people have already raised concerns with the fact that they got banned from several unrelated .ml communities by the same mod for breaking the rules in one community. There are several topics with broad appeal that have their largest community on .ml. Switching instances is basically the same as making another account because you’re still subject to the .ml moderation.

No matter how good your tools and materials, a skilled enough amateur can fuck it up. You can’t account for taste either. Furniture shapes aside, those bed covers and the couch are also not something I’d have in my house.

People still do that, though maybe less. Men in the family are electricians, masons, plumbers, all at the same time, and with varying degrees of success.

The Eastern Europe in this is overwhelming

Honestly I don’t even remember. By the looks of it I was wrong anyway but I thought it was in an article somewhere. Definitely not suggested in the trailer.

I thought this movie was set between the first and the second. If you watched the second one, from 1986, you know that all but one die. But now I’m seeing a space station in the trailer. I’m confused.

Fair enough, that could be the case. Some generic blocking setting. In that case others in this thread have given good technical suggestions.

Don’t, unless you don’t mind losing your job. They did it because they noticed people were watching stuff at work and they don’t want you to do it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I’m picturing anything, I usually go for 1 or 2. The difference might be in the amount of time I do it. I can just do it quick, then remember it.

Yes

I’m not saying you should buy a refurbished one, I’m saying I couldn’t buy a new one locally because it’s not in stock. Have you tried other laptops?

Have you checked out any other thinkpad? I’m not in Slovenia but my local price comparison website only shows upgrades for this one in stock, and the laptop itself only from a refurbishing place. Maybe this thing is just out of stock.

Given enough time, everything changes. Society as it is now will go away eventually, but it’s hard to say that society will ‘collapse’. Things can get better or worse, and in either case there will be people who think it they’ve gotten better, and people who think they’ve gotten worse.

It’s hard to stay optimistic with how perception is shaped nowadays. Let me try to slightly change that perspective. I don’t have a link to the study, but a majority of interviewed Americans thought that crime was on the rise, and worse than ever, when in fact it has been decreasing steadily since the early 90s. Public perception was shaped by the broad popularity of televised police, detective, true crime documentaries, and fictional media. A good thing was happening, but that’s not what people thought.

Climate change and pollution are bad, but renewables are on the rise on average, and being pushed hard by the public in general.

Increasingly divided and radical governments are bad, but people are getting sick of it, and governments will have to adapt or be replaced.

Economic woes are definitely a problem, but we’re slowly making baby steps, doing things like banning airbnb here and there, etc. Economic woes have come and gone.

Misinformation and disinformation is everywhere, but we’re more aware of it than ever. We’re suspicious of intent, of sources, etc. Not all of us trust the right sources, but we’re starting to implement fact checking, we’re making platforms that show news on the political spectrum, we have ways to find blind spots, etc.

Dangerous health crises aren’t the end of the world. The black plague and the ‘spanish’ flu killed a lot of people, and neither lead to the breakdown of society. We’ll figure it out, we’re tough SOBs.

Look, I’m not saying these things aren’t happening, I’m just saying that for every bad thing that floods the airways and the internet, there is some degree of reaction. We’re not laying down and taking it. And while it’s certainly depressing and disheartening to see so many bad things happening, they can help to galvanize people against it, and not fall into complacency.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed too, which is why it’s not a bad idea to take the time to limit and filter exposure to this stuff. You know about it, you’ve looked into it, you’ve made a (hopefully educated) decision, you know what you’re going to do. It’s not healthy for you to come back and keep looking at the problem over and over again.

There’s also the issue of being exposed to serious problems that you can’t affect in a meaningful way. I’m not American, what the hell am I supposed to do about their presidential election? No reason for me to look at it all the time. When the time comes, I’ll vote for someone on my end who says they’re going to handle the situation in the way that I think is best.

Take a step back, consider your situation. Which things affect you? Which things affect the people in your life? Which things can you affect? What can you do, that matters? Focus your energy on that. You don’t have to make a big change, you can start by clearing your head.
