  • These types of stories are also unfortunately heavy duty survivorship bias. The majority of people who started websites like this never went anywhere and you've never heard of them.

  • As player numbers fall, Highguard makes the actually-quite-good 5v5 mode permanent

    Jump

  • I agree, and the performance thing was my suspicion as well. It just seems off to have a large scale siege game be so small.

    To be honest 5v5 still seems kinda small on paper to me, but I haven't played it.

    The focus on player dropoff is always misleading. Free to play games always lose massive numbers of players within the first week generally. What matters is who's left, and what the company's operating budget is. 10k players or even less can be plenty for a small team for instance. With such small player team sizes in-game, that would also be more than enough for a populated feeling queue.

  • The team size is so baffling to me in this game, but I've been wondering after watching this if it's actually a performance thing.

    It sounds like the game is woefully poorly optimized, and I wouldn't be surprised if it can't handle a more fun number of players.

  • Mine wants to smell it and also eat it.

  • We really need to be more wary of everything that promises to do more, faster.

  • Hustle culture is a cancer honestly. Way too many people have internalized it and feel guilty for resting. I put myself in this bucket too, but I'm working on undoing that cycle these days.

    Not going hard 100% of the time doesn't make you lazy, it makes you healthy. Lazy is so far on the other end of the spectrum.

  • There's a general strike on Friday? I'll try to participate. I had no idea.

  • In 2021 Designer Kenya Hara earned $300,000 by turning Xiaomis Square into a Squircle.

  • As a small designer who puts a lot of effort into my work, I also hate shit like this. That amount of money would literally be life changing for me and they would have gotten something actually new out of it.

  • What are your cheap, but not miserable, recipes?

    Jump

  • If you have access to ham hock, look up Congri. It's a Cuban beans and rice dish that's very cheap to make and quite tasty.

    It might sound like more of a side, but I've found it's plenty hearty enough for a meal.

    I can see you're in the UK, so this might be completely different for you, but another thing I've found lately is that chicken drumsticks are extremely cheap compared to every other cut of chicken. I can get about 8lbs of drumsticks for $8 from costco. I bake them, tear off the meat, and freeze it for use in whatever. I also save the bones so I can make chicken stock once I have enough.

    Not sure if that will hold true across the pond, but I'll throw it out there anyway just in case.

    Edit: I realize you said no beans and rice, so I guess I'm not helping in that regard with this, sorry! 😅

  • Does anyone have any advice for young adults that are struggling in life?

  • I second this. As they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It's a lot less overwhelming to tackle problems in small pieces than by looking at everything at once.
