Slimy lobbyist: Sure I’ll hold your robe and… whoops how did that big wad of cash get in there?

So sad EA axed Titanfall 3, Respawn started making it but EA bought them out and demanded they make it a battle royale which they didn’t want to do so EA just axed it instead. Iirc of course, don’t quote me on it but I’m pretty sure this is how it went down.

I’m no “normie” but Linux is so damned ass backwards my brain just can’t cope, some of the times I was unsure if I was asking the OS to change directory or summon Moloch to bring a thousand years of darkness to the world.

I’m thinking I may have to. I’ve been watching some videos with the I Am Legion mod, which really improved the longevity of the first one for me, and it looks amazing.

If it’s speed you’re after try Titanfall 2, my son is really good and watching him play is enough to give you seizures it’s so fast paced.

Eeeeh, I could but Techland has long been one of my favorite little studios so pirating one of their games just doesn’t feel right to me.

Also piratebay hasn’t been relevant in years and is most likely chock full of all kinds of nasty malware now, try 1337x instead. They’re probably the best of the lot now rarbg is no longer with us.

Dying Light, absolutely fantastic pakour zombie smasher with one of the best cities in gaming. Bought it originally (on a disc) many years ago and played it so much the disc died and I was inconsolable until Epic gave away the ultimate edition and I was finally able to play The Following DLC.

Now I go and look at Dying Light 2 on Steam and wish my stupid country wasn’t so damn expensive, even on sale at 50% off it still costs almost as much as a brand new AAA game in the states. Regional pricing my ass, we always get stung so hard for tech down here.

I was wondering why cannabis was so high but this makes sense, it’s not the ill effects the plant has (which should put it down with nitrous and hallucinogens) but what the state will do to you for possessing the plant that causes the most harm, which is a pretty clear statement that our policy settings are way off.

There was that windscreen that cracked a while ago too, AirNZ is obviously just discovering that taking an axe to it’s support and maintenance staff to get another yaucht in the marina probably wasn’t the best idea.

I feel it’s a really good rule of thumb to just not click any links, especially if they’re texted. I can’t think of the last time an organization texted me a direct link, MSD and IRD usually send you a text telling you to check your account for instance, so I feel it’s much better to er on the side of caution and ignore them all.

Emails are a bit trickier but most organizations generally use letterheads and footers to identify themselves pretty plainly, but if I’m ever in doubt I’ll again er on the side of caution again and either ring them or go straight to the website rather than touch a link.

You would think that, but the big banks made out like absolutely crazy from the derivatives and then got to seize a whole swathe of land they then sold on for even more money or kept for themselves and used to artificially inflate the rental markets while at the same time curb stomping their competition thus giving them a much larger piece of the pie after everything shook out.

The real own goal here is the poor saps who thought they were getting a cheap mortgage until the interest rates started going up and up.

I went through and tried all the Lemmy apps available on the play store and I feel Jerboa is the best of the bunch, I have heightened accessibility needs (low vision) too which Jerboa again seeming to be the best of the bunch as I’m pretty sure it runs straight off my android settings so the text is big enough for me to read comfortably.

Bear in mind that Gib is quite expensive nowdays (with fletcher’s monopoly over pretty much our entire building industry) with speciality products, like noisline, being doubly so.

So maybe give it a bit and see what it’s like before pulling the trigger, a decent block wall with a good air gap packed with batts will cancel out the vast majority of regular household noise I feel.
