Most of Reddit was a toxic hellhole. It’s why I’m not on Reddit anymore.
I believe the way that link style works is that it does that only if your instance does not have it locally. Here on the fediverse we need one person to subscribe before it will show up on your local instance correctly
Whoever they are, we know one thing about them. They are dicks.

Edit: k, idk why you downvoted me, was trying to show you another sub with an audience directly for this question that you may want to also ask, but k go ahead and downvote me OP.
Oh yeah, learned the lesson and moved onto a different place. Learned that pushing yourself will only earn yourself more work, and they’ll forget you immediately.
It’s not what you think Dragon Age should be. I personally am excited for that. I loved Inquisition and hated Origins, I loved the high fantasy romp with Sera and Varric making quips all day. To me, that was the best story and characters in the entire franchise, and my opinions are just as valid as yours. If you didn’t like it, fine, but I think it’s weird to judge a game negatively because it changed.
To give a reverse example for me. I don’t like where Halo went, but I have a lot of friends who love Infinite’s multiplayer. Now, I could go online and tell people that they shouldn’t play it because 2 and 3 were the best ones - or I could say nothing and let people enjoy things.
God this, this right here is what I’m sick of in gaming. The negativity and hoping that things fail. Gaming has always been negative but ffs lately it’s just been awful. There used to be a time where people would say “Eh, it’s not for me”, now it’s “I hate the style and everything about it one star bandwagon folks let’s all talk about how terrible and awful this game is and shit it down and out” And I say this as a dragon age fan.
I’m willing to give it a fair shot - and I think real fans are willing to give the benefit of the doubt before shooting it down. Am I fan of the art style? No, not really. The gameplay? How could I I haven’t played it yet. Controlling companions? Personally I never used it much anyway. I would never hope for a franchise I love to fail, that’s such a weird thing to me. I’ll see how it is when it releases, and I hope I have fun.
I don’t care if it’s the dragon age I knew. I want it to be a fun game. I don’t care if it’s spongy, or the fighting is a little off, if they can get me to have fun - that’s my metric. More importantly, I know others do care about those things. What I won’t do is rage online or hope it fails because it doesn’t cater to me.
These are so reassuring, dear god I hope it’s good. I really really feel like this is the make it or break it for Bioware. If Veilguard does well we could see a new era of Bioware games, refreshing Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
Or we’ll see EA finally shutter it.
Is this really feature flags as a service? FFAAS?
Tried it and it works pretty well! I’ll have to keep playing with it, but so far so good!
I tried this one time., to actually be a great employee. This was well into my senior programmer status, got hired at at a new gig, and I liked the place. So they had a massive chunk of work. I busted my ass for 3 months to get it done in time, nights, weekends, you name it.
We got it done, zero bugs too, was honestly impressed.
A month later they asked me why my velocity had dropped. Well, because I pushed hard for that, but this is normal times, I’m well within my fellow engineers ranges right? Well sure, but you’re about 20% lower on our charts. Was told I would need to get that back up if I wanted to be eligible for raises or promotions. My 6 month review came up and that was forefront. I “showed promise” early on but I had been lacking lately. They mentioned my huge project as a footnote.
Seriously kids, don’t try. Business will formulate everything you do into graphs, and they only care if line goes up. Stay in line with your coworkers, and nudge the line up only noticeably through the years. They want to play stupid games, give them stupid prizes.
How well do you find it works? I’m not afraid of the fee, but I don’t want to spend time setting it up and paying the fee to only find out that it won’t do most things
The number one thing that most of these don’t do well for me is the connection with banks. You mentioned that there is bank syncing, how well does that work? Can I say, just click my bank and do an oauth connection, and it will store it? I really loved Mint, and essentially want it to be done the same way
I use it on my HTPC. It’s pretty nice, but there are definitely some bugs and quirks. It’s basically the handheld steam version, but with some better support. Agree that “Game-Changer” is clickbait.
Oh god so so so many. I’m going to stick with music though for today.
You like ${artist}? That’s gay.
Even more fun, “You like ${Track} from artist? That’s the gayest track.”
Guys are real quick to make sure everyone else knows how much manlier they are by what music they listen to.
yeah the only thing I could possibly compare it to is how Windows 10/11 did not include the HEVC codec in Windows and instead you had to pay $3 or something for a copy of the license on their store to play HEVC on Windows. To me, that made sense. <5% of users would ever use HEVC directly on their machine - why include a mandatory license across all versions of windows out of the box? Atmos too is like that I believe.
This is just some weird gimmick. Measuring my head? For what? Makes no sense.
Nope, even then, think of how much QA would go into something like this. They probably have 6-8 months of features that were built on this kernel. Upgrading the kernel before would mean needing to redo everything - all of the QA, UAT, months of prep work. Companies who hold up these big releases for us aren’t like us just clicking perform upgrade, it’s a massive process that needs signoffs and confirmations. That’s why I say they probably just drew a line in the sand and said “We can’t risk destabilizing it just to perform an upgrade” - or for all we know they did do the upgrade, realized it broke something critical, and decided against it.
We all know if they rolled out a broken release everyone would be on every forum with pitchforks calling Valve the devil. They weren’t just being idiots by not upgrading.
As an audiophile myself, I would not buy this. What the hell does head shape or ears have to do with it? I have my perfect home audio setup set up the exact way I like it. Everyone else can polish a game with good audio, I’m not paying extra for one game to have what everyone else does out of the box. If I’m spending more on audio quality, I’m buying hardware, not some weird dlc
If this was like a Dolby codec thing where it was like “hey we have to pay for the license but not everyone needs it” then fine that makes sense, the license costs money but 99% of players won’t care. But it doesn’t sound like that’s what’s is happening
Wow it’s just like browsing facebook!
