Same. It was dissapointingly shallow in characterization and the dialogues could have used some editing but ot was a fun and functional game that looked great and had well-designed gameplay. I played it through the end ana am looking to get a sequel in a few years on a deep sale.

I’d love to play it, but I’m not paying more than 15€ for it, I’m very patient.

Found on metafilter, along with this excellent comment:

Learning will be increasingly self-­directed, says Liz Gerber, co-director of the Center for Human-Computer Interaction and Design at Northwestern University. The future classroom is “going to be hyper-­personalized.” AI tutors could help with one-on-one instruction or repetitive sports drills.

No it won’t. Learning has been going to be “increasingly self-directed” since before I was born, but it turns out, in fact, that you need to have a certain amount of maturity and focus before “self-directed” means anything more than “goofing off as much as possible” or possibly, just possibly, “intense focus only on those things that interest me intensely”. What will happen is that the children of the poor and the less-involved middle class will have shitty digital “tutors” in chaotic classrooms or goof off in isolation while the children of the rich are taught the old-fashioned way, by talented individual humans with only such technology as supports focused, human-centered learning. “Learning will be increasingly self-directed” will be used as a justification for treating everyone but the rich badly.

Furthermore, if people do have digital spy tutors looking over their shoulders, they will either be janky and kids will devote a lot of time to fooling them or they’ll be creepy surveillance that will fuck the kids up, or probably both. At best, these will be simulations of people and kids will learn to have “relationships” with fake people that don’t exist, don’t think or judge and do not love them, and IT optimists will somehow spin this as great and helpful. (I suppose there is some possibility that we will create and enslave actual conscious AI, which will be a nightmare in its own way).

It is a good game IMO, but they will have completely missed the hype train by November.

Interesting, I’d say it’s incredibly badly designed and executed given Ubisoft’s resources and the open world games they can make. The lack of danger and enemy awareness, the perfunctory stealth that barely works, the mostly empty open world and floaty speeder, the formulaic story…

Now, the one thing we learned from Ubi’s mistakes is that there’s no second chance for a first impression. They added a completely new and rather good campaign to try and fix Breakpoint, making all the looter tropes optional and it works great, it’s a good open world game after that, but I haven’t seen an influx of new players.

Why is everyone giving mindspace to this shitty grift? How is this pc gaming?

I absolutely hated it, all the worse for doing all my favorite genre’s trappings so well only to tie it all with a magic bow of stupid.

Geez, MS, it’s a place to filter a list with a few keystrokes and/or click a link or punch enter. It’s such shit ad real estate you’re just pissing off people about to discover nobara or this for nothing

It certainly is and I absolutely fucking hate it.

You can install any apk on your phone (even unrooted) and there’s alternative stores such as f-droid, so why?

What’s with the “the article does x” retelling, it gives me the biggest ick. What’s wrong with just quoting a salient paragraph or two?

Touch sum fucken grass dude

It’s already public, it’s just lemmy users who don’t see them.

I thought I liked it and that it had enough users, thank you for setting me straight.

a viable alternative

It’s already a viable alternative. I can tell because I’m only here and not there anymore and lack nothing

we need to convince more Redditors to switch over by mentioning Lemmy in the right threads

This is just the worst idea. First off, it would require me to have a reddit account, which I nuked. Second, it’d require me to go to reddit and there’s no more ingress points that won’t rape my eyes. And finally, I’m not using my time and energy proselytizing just to accelerate another tragedy of the commons.

True, I already have gaben’s arch and it’s great.

I don’t want to give any money to Microsoft and I do want the manufacturer to think about drivers and stuff.

I feel the need to stress I’d never buy one with Windows.
