At this point I think the greater issue is that fans didn't learn from Starfield (or FO76, arguably FO4/Skyrim too at least enough for a trend line if you care about the RPG aspect of it). Why would Bethesda ever change course if they continue raking in money? It really seems like people aren't even waiting for reviews.

I was going to say that it'd be a coin flip on if this actually has the same re-occurring bugs that the UOP fixed, though I see that it's going to be 3rd-party so that may change the odds a bit.

I mostly do untextured low-poly stuff so I'll think I'll leave that one to the brofessionals. It doesn't seem like a good starting point.

Yes, but also I don't have much programming experience or even viable beginner project ideas. Also interested in polygonal art but lacking a project doesn't help with that either.

So add in other issues and it really ends up as

Me when

when it is never tail time ever

Agreed, but I have doubts that this will be a massive improvement if the same amount of other sugars are used. I'm sure some things would reduce sugar to fit with production, but if some foods just became gritty (or, soda with sugar sinking to the bottom) I would not be shocked.

Particularly because that seems like the easy-but-wrong-answer. Not that "maybe we shouldn't make sugar cheaper than water" and "food doesn't need to be loaded with sugar to taste good" should be unpopular opinions.

Is this supposed to be self-deprecating or did you forget to switch accounts?

Nintendo.

Not just crushing fan games, but also issues with the Smash bros community, pricing and availability, eshops shutting down (+needing to buy those games again on new consoles or it's not even available at start), stick drift, fan content policy, also Youtube strikes/claims (both newer for specific reasons and an entire era for let's plays in general). 20 years of content removed from Gmod.

And no this isn't about Japanese law, they choose to be this way.

Assuming the law doesn't mandate their desired beliefs, I am still waiting for the video of red-faced yelling at a school-board meeting after the tiniest mention (or perhaps a poorly-printed picture of the cover) of the Qur'an.

Just to add, there seems to be some issue with thumbnails on .cafe, from the admin:

Yes, there’s clearly some problem with the change introduced in lemmy 0.19.7 where thumbnail generation was changed to force a smaller size (and potentially something else). Still not entirely sure which part - lemmy or pict-rs - is misbehaving, but working on both fronts trying to find the culprit. Nothing so far, unfortunately

So currently, most new posts don't have an icon.

You got scammed, bro. 4-stroke lungs are a much better deal. (uni-directional breathing, air sacs before/after lungs. birds, crocodiles, dinosaurs)

They need to change the likeness a little.

Elo, who? What? Nooo, he's... uhh... Æléon 3000! Does it at all resemble a real set of events that happened? I sure hope not, that'd be an interesting coincidence.

Probably because in most cases, doing so requires a tradeoff of some sort. Hardware, design and planning, upkeep, data privacy and reliance on external factors/services etc.

So when it doesn't fit together and people don't even have any real source of help (not to mention enshittification) it should be no wonder that the existing way (or "live with it") is the only real option.

Also there is also the angle of some "easier" options that sound nice on paper but end up creating their own problems (or are just too expensive to be viable).
