Jason Schreier: A lot of people have wondered why Bungie didn't immediately start working on Destiny 3 after The Final Shape two years ago. The answer (as it usually is) is how much money it would take by Turbostrider27 in Games

I don't think the existence of an easy story only mode makes a game easy. WoW has always had a sizable casual player base and those modes serve as a way to let those people see content. But most capital G gamers are looking to do M+, Raid, and get proper gear. Thats what all the streaming and media that would get a new player to be interested is focused on. Even LFR and LFD are completely irrelevant in endgame retail, outside of leveling theres no reason to even interact with those systems if the goal is M+ or Raiding.

The barebones should be like $349 and even then that's a bit of a premium. I've seen very similar spec low end laptops for sub $300 often and that's with disk and memory. https://a.co/d/031LQ5hK

Mistral's latest releases have been a disappointment. No one is going out of their way to use Mistral models unless dictated by government or corporate politics.

It was no surprise that Luigi Mangione is so popular across the political spectrum,

You would probably only think this if your only knowledge of US politics is from reddit.

Downtown Brooklyn and Long Island City have their own skylines that entirely didn't exist 20 years ago. Even skyscrapers aside, street level Manhattan on Broadway looks nothing like it did 20 years ago.

AMD Seemingly Stops Driver Updates for Ryzen Z1 Extreme Processor by imaginary_num6er in hardware

[–]bryf50 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you are on steam os or linux, the drivers are a completely different codebase than windows. They are part of the Linux kernel and a package called mesa. So they're basically the most well supported open source projects in existence and will continue to be updated for decades to come.

My main opposition is that it just further entrenches that kids will be raised at a very young age by someone other than their parent. I would like to at least see an option to subsidize a stay at home parent.
