I once registered an account with a random ~25 characters long password (Keepass PM) for buying tickets on https://uhuu.com.br/

The website allowed me to create the account just fine, but once I verified my e-mail, I couldn’t log into it due to there being a character limit ONLY IN THE LOGIN PASSWORD FIELD. Atrocious.

EDIT: btw, the character limit was 12

It’s much better performance wise now, but you better have a good internet connection because at the first sign of a dropped package the whole thing breaks down…

Then they must be held liable for what they allow to spread on their platforms

Paying for it is not the problem at all, in fact it’s preferred over a freemium model.

The practices I mostly refer to are:

• microtransactions in any context;
• requiring additional software (PSN overlay) that doesn’t support all platforms;
• PSN account requirement for a game that’s sold on Steam (have they forgotten about the shitshow that was Helldivers II?).

EDIT: history has also told us that paying upfront for a hero shooter doesn’t work out in the long term if the game wants any shot at being popular, just look at Overwatch’s failure to capitalize on it’s momentum by not becoming free-to-play earlier (and everything else wrong with Blizzard and their management).

That’s what happens when you mix a pile of abusive industry practices with an overall bad and iterative game that doesn’t bring anything new to the genre

I was completely abducted into the Tetris universe by Tetris Effect: Connected and started playing it on a regular basis through different versions such as Jstris and TETR.IO. Ever since this I’ve been watching movies about Tetris and keeping up with the game’s community so this announcement definitely gets me excited for a “docu-game” on the series. I’m all for it!

does WoW run on linux??

Yes, at least that’s what was on OP’s system

Will the Gnome version of Bazzite work for HDR on an Nvidia GPU, or for that matter any other OS as long as I’m using gamescope to run the game with HDR enabled?

I don’t think it would work because of the fact that HDR isn’t properly implemented yet on GNOME, still waiting for that to land in 47…

I suffer from having to update the firmware of my Xbox controllers through a Windows Laptop we use for office work (using LibreOffice, btw) because they will stop working on my Fedora Linux machine after some time when I update the kernel modules for xone and xpadneo.

It’s interesting to me that you can do that using a VM!!

OMG nice build! I’m waiting on RDNA4 to finally upgrade my setup to AM5 and by then I hope we already have the X3D variants of the 9000 series from AMD too, but daily driving my RTX 2060 6GB in 2024 on both Windows and Linux has been quite the painful experience…

Wow that’s crazy, did she read the book even after that major spoiler you didn’t know you were giving her?

I’ll be so excited if I actually win this and get to play it with my boyfriend, sounds like such a good time :)

Over the last year I’ve been dating a potterhead and I never read/watched the whole series (due to generally disliking fictional books and not really watching movies). However, I love video games and feel like playing Hogwarts Legacy would allow me to know the universe of HP a little better while also being more connected with my boyfriend’s interests - we could also play it together!

Nothing major, just lots and lots of browser toolbars in the XP era and contact with some trojans (especially on torrents) that were thankfully caught by the antiviruses available back then.

That’s fair, but measuring the diameter of pizzas isn’t really something I do tbh and I don’t know the US equivalent of what we call “family sized” around here

Wow that is outrageous. I paid the Brazilian equivalent for that amount yesterday on a 16 slice pizza with four different flavors and a white chocolate border + an 8 slice small sweet one from a local shop with delivery services and all.

No wonder these companies don’t see the financial benefit for bringing their operations to the country…

Big tech can cheat the system by paying their taxes on countries in which they are lower, but when you try to do the same:

Hmmm, now I get it, thank you!

I’m aware there are problems with the way their survey works, but I don’t see how that’s the case…

To me it seems like it’s done on a monthly basis by selecting a random pool of users and prompting them to participate by collecting stats at that moment, only once they opt into it.

AFAIK the data is not aggregated over a certain period of time (i.e. “a year”)
