75 years of nation-wide life expectancy is also likely to include early deaths due to accidents, cancer and such. People who die of “old age” typically do later than 75.
When people talks about life expectancy 99.99% of the time they mean life expectancy at birth, at every year the life expectancy change. Using this life table someone with 61 years, have a life expectancy of 19.7 years, that means he’s expected to live until he’s 80.
Yep, and that was true even going all the way back through history. People weren’t routinely dying in their 30s or whatever before modern medicine; it’s just that a lot more of them were dying in infancy/early childhood and that brought down the average. (That’s the situation anti-vaxxers are trying to go back to, BTW.)
And upgrading also means, that you can(depending on what your components are), have now a lot of games that you can play now, since you upgraded. You also may be able to play now with better Grafics/fps.
They actually allowed users to skip voting for any and every category this year and still have it count for the badge, so I was hoping this year would be less dumb.
I thought of mentioning that too, but decided not to because I had never even heard of it. It looks like a shitty FMV dating sim, but for all I know it might have the greatest story ever written, so I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt.
I used to visit communities like you did, then I took an arrow in the knee.
But no, seriously, if you don’t like the how people are talking, don’t bother going there. I don’t know people who use Steam’s community hubs for actual community. I see them getting used for info/joke sharing about their given games, but not for social bonding. Personally, I like the guides. Sometimes I search the discussions for a piece of information on an issue that I’m hoping someone else has already encountered and worked around. That’s about it.
That said, I generally don’t mind that people make memes. If it makes them happy, then good for them! If other people get a chuckle, that’s even better. For me – and like my opening line – any amusement quickly turns to eye rolls as the same things get repeated over and over and were never very funny from the start.
It’s also weird to think that you either have to cope with a community - or that the community must change because of your tastes. Just don’t take part in the community - or join a different one or start your own community that’s more to your speed. People enjoy different things, we don’t all have to take part, and we can create our own groups
(Apparently) Sony has been pulling this shit for years, so either no one noticed or there’s more to it. I wonder if perhaps any of these countries have laws restricting certain online services, which Sony doesn’t follow, and thus is not allowed (as opposed to simply choosing not to offer)?
Community manager or not,he still has a Vested interest in the games success. I think this is pretty clearly a Sony being shitty thing. I hope they are trying to find a better answer because I like Helldivers but I’m also not willing to deal with Sonys bullshit.
My saying they’re a CM isn’t my giving them a pass. But dev vs CM is an important distinction regardless. A CM should know how to address people publicly and not incite even more rage by belittling people’s concerns. The only apology they gave so far was the most non-apology you could imagine too.
I don’t disagree, but they also can’t give a real apology without pissing off the publisher who can shut it all down period. They’re damned if the do and damned if they don’t.
Imagine being a Community Manager and having no idea how the bullshit your publisher wants to pull off affects your community but still initially siding with them lol
no shit a bunch of my friend picked it up last month and were bugging me to buy it and join them. I get paid today and had planned on buying this weekend.
but I ain’t got a playstation or PSN account so ima hold off. im not sure all of my friends do either, for that matter. back to modded CP2077 it is!
It needs warnings for of a game requires you to be connected to the internet to play, and if the developer has ever deactivated usage rights to their games.
i haven’t used steam a while (so i could be wrong), but it seems like that’s not a pop up. it looks like it’s part of the information that shows up when you click a game in your library. so i guess it would make sense the name of the game isn’t display there (since it’s somewhere else on the page)
Correct. This looks like it’s taken from the game info page in the users library, if it were taken from their friend list it would have context for which game it is.
Pokemon fans were so desperate for any kind of innovation instead of the same game over and over and over with worse pokemon designs. At this point the ai ripoffs feel more like pokemon than actual pokemon. An ice cream cone? Ice cube head penguin? Really gamefreak?
It is crazy. Not to mention all of the other attempts at the Pokémon “formula” have mostly just rehashed it. Cassette Beasts is the first I saw that really made some changes… And even they were slight. Digimon and Shin Megami Tensei are quite different but they’ve also been around for yonks.
Valve is a private company, so we don’t know for sure how much they are worth, but if MS wanted to buy them, I’d wager my house that the figure would be way more then they spent/will spend on Activison. By a magnitude of 3 or 4 at least. Valve is a literal money printing machine. They make so much money that they don’t care that they have a squeal they could release that would make more money than damn near any other game ever released.
And for the record, I’m not saying Microsoft can’t afford them, just saying it would hurt to do so.
Yeah, would take ages to recoup the cost. Plus, you might not even recoup the cost as markets may change or Steam gets mismanaged by new management. Strategically Steam and Valve would also offer little advantage to Microsoft for the price.
