Meanwhile Marathon's server slam is down by more than 50% from yesterday, dropping from ~150k to ~55k.
"Dont worry, its a Thursday, just wait until the weekend."
Nah bro, it dropped to its lowest concurrent player count on a Friday. That bodes horrendously badly for its future. And I mean, good. Its a skinwalker anyway (though I really love the artstyle, Graphic Brutalism has always been a favorite of mine since it started popping up in the late 2000s, its not a Marathon game, and my love of its art style isnt enough to carry it alone).
So are they going to do the same thing against EA, ActiBlizz, Epic Games, etc etc? Or is this just "Valve has the most money and we want money and dont actually care about this issue" yet again?
I also liked it, but it doesn't replace the original series. Its just an alternate retelling of the story.
To me, its the same as the Super Dimension Fortress Macross tv series, and the Macross Do You Remember Love? movie. Neither is better or replaces the other, they are just alternate retellings of the same story. In the same way that two different war veterans might describe the same battle differently, even though the same major story elements occur in each.
Helldivers 2 would probably be a good fit. It doesn't have a lot to learn for a player to do well, and if one player is a min-maxing nuisance it won't really effect the rest of the player's experience. It's a cooperative third person shooter. Its hard for one player to take over everything, especially at the higher difficulties.
How many people are in your group? If its 4 people or less then you guys have tons of options, but if its 5 or more, your options are extremely limited (I know this because I play in a group of 5).
Something like Helldivers 2 seems like it could be a good fit, but it only supports up to 4 players.
If you are asleep and your house catches fire, the idea is that the smoke detector will wake you up with enough time hopefully to escape the fire. That is really their primary purpose.
Some European countries do require them. Germany and Britain require smoke detectors in all residential buildings, for example.
If your smoke detectors go off when you are cooking, then the smoke detectors are too close to the kitchen. At least where I live, building code mandates one smoke detector in each bedroom, one in each hallway leading to a bedroom, and at least one smoke detector on each floor of the home. Generally, avoid placing smoke detectors near kitchens or exterior windows which, when open, are right next to a grill or other cooking appliance. Otherwise you're going to be getting a lot of false positives.
Okay, then use a different archive link. My point is, its not a monumentally impossible task to read at least to the 3rd sentence of the article, even if you don't want to follow the direct link to avoid giving ad revenue to The Verge.
Someone said that it wasnt out of laziness that someone wouldn't have read the article, and my point is that it is out of laziness. It wasn't even at the end of the article.
The name just makes me think of the "evil X" memes:
Evil Autism be like: "Yes hello, I would love to have a pleasant conversation. Oh, nothing too niche and specific? No worries!"
