I specifically requested to be informed of this!

Ah well, now I can browse through it all :D

Falin: 🤗

Senshi: 👀

Laios: 🤤

My communities are all going slow and steady as usual. !cybermoe@ani.social is likely to reach 1k subs soon.

I've been really enjoying !deadlock@sopuli.xyz and helping with an active lemmy community for the game has been fun. Even made an original meme.

I'm a little cross with the mod of !touhou@lemmy.world as they've banned me for "deliberate" rule-breaking. Not marking posts NSFW whenever danbooru arbitrarily rates them as "sensitive". This despite the rules not requiring this, but rather requesting that posters use the same verbal guidelines. (I complied the first time the mod complained, the second time my post was obviously safe, so as nothing made sense to me at that point, I responded by deleting it along with a promise not to post anymore, this got me banned for "deliberately breaking community rules")

As such I'll be taking !touhou@ani.social under my wing instead, so go sub there if you like Touhou, or the type of content I post in general :D

Completely reasonable use-case for forbidden magic, tbh.

Must've walked through there a thousand times.

I don't think that's happening, necessarily.

I died thrice in a sidelane against a q pressing Abrams, which game him a 4k lead and my guardian. Once the denizen camps spawned, I started prioritizing those, and at the 10 minute mark I used the teleporter to visit the other side lane and take that tower 2 on 1.

I caught up by the end.

There's definitely more incentive to be more defensive/aggressive early game, now.

On the side lanes you are a little less "safe" while in the middle lanes you now always have a partner, and have the shorter travel times to base.

You also don't get the zipline boost from the start anymore. Along with the first kill soul bonus, it means getting an early kill actually comes with substantial benefits, as you get both souls and a good while to have the lane for yourself. Same with being killed, which now sets you back a little more.

All in all, games feel more "unstable" right off the bat in the sidelanes, and maybe a little more stable in the mid lanes. I like that, personally.

Becoming more like the competition might make sense, if you completely blind yourself to the fact that the customers you do have are the people who don't like the competition.

Yeah, so it seems. Feel free to remove, or should I?

My script checks for duplicates, so it almost never happens. The rare time it does I tend to just let it be, as by the time I notice it, lots of people are already enjoying the post. There are always some who didn't get to see it the first time :D

This is kind of a huge turning point.

It would mean reddit is discarding the biggest thing that makes it different from all the other algo-driven "engagement"-fueled social platforms.

Everything runs on an API, including steam.

The simple fact that Epic allows API proves that they not tracking and datamining people's information

That's not how anything works. Even literal spyware would have to make use of some APIs. The acronym literally just refers to a interactive protocol between software applications.

AFAIK, legendary, the python application which Heroic uses to interact with Epic services was created by reverse-engineering the Epic store API used by their launcher, not by implementing some public spec they freely provide. It's essentially a workaround they haven't bothered shutting down. For now Epic hasn't blocked it, but that's not the same as an endorsement.

Legendary may not have implemented the parts of the Epic launcher that collects user data, but that doesn't mean Epic doesn't do that.

I mention Linux, because that is the primary use-case for Heroic. I entirely forgot it works on Windows.

I'm under no illusions about how Steam works, but to claim EPIC of all companies is any better, is beyond rich.

GOG I can agree with, but even they have some games that don't work quite right without galaxy. That may improve, as those APIs are being reverse-engineered, as well.

Steam maintains the right to erase a user's game library without a refund

So does GOG and Epic. The only difference is that there's a third-party downloader for their libraries.

All three storefronts sell at least some games with executables that function entirely on their own, no launcher necessary once the game files are acquired.

All three also sell some games that can be shut down by their respective developers or publishers, or rely on other services that may not stick around.

Yeah but his real crime was that he screwed over other rich CEOs, soooo....

Fortnite is riddled with overreaching anti-cheat. No shit it wont run on linux.

GOG doesn't sell you anything more than a license, either. The difference is that you can download and keep the game forever.

Except you can actually do that with a lot of games on steam, too. These games don't need steam, which means you could completely uninstall steam, and the game .exe would still work.

The slide works in all conditions afaik. It's not gravity fed or something. It's full of cartridges under presure from the spring, same as any other gun, and rounds are pushed into the receiver one by one. IIRC three dummy rounds are tethered to the end of the spring, which allows the spring to push the last few cartridges into the slide and out of the magazine.

For the last few rounds, there are IIRC three tethered dummy cartridges that are pushed by the spring into the slide, so that the last few rounds are properly fed and can't rattle around.

Cartridges aren't gravity fed through the slide or anything. They are pushed through and into the receiver by the pressure of the spring, same as any other gun.

She'll make us one, guys!

Good.

Also someone in the video comments mentioned, the teleporters only work after the 10 minute mark, too.
