Good news for those that enjoy the mode. Personally as a tank main who moonlights as support, 6v6 was not for me (even though I had OW since launch in 2016).
Playing just brought back the trauma of OW1 one-trick roadhog tank duos and healbotting, and going back to 5v5 felt good to me, even with all the counterwatching.
Definitely wouldn't be surprised - MS have been making noises about reducing the level of access non-core Windows services get after the cloudstrike fiasco, and given MS's patch stability lately, I would also not be surprised if something leaked out early.
Yeah I don't understand the faux outrage here, but maybe that's because I'm not in a parasocial relationship with these influencers.
I always wondered how Honey made any money, so this answers that question and is actually a pretty ingenious (if somewhat underhanded) mechanism.
Patents are (at their core) a good thing. It protects little Jimmy Inventor from putting hours and his blood, sweat and tears into coming up with a novel invention, only for some big corpo to see it, steal the idea and bully Jimmy out of the market.
Jimmy has legal recourse to sue the big corpo if he has a patent, whereas without one he has nothing.
Just because the system's been gamed (especially in the US) doesn't mean it's impossible to reform, and is currently still better than nothing.
All it takes is some standardized markup like schema.org
Which is the problem AI is solving here - getting every supermarket chain to agree on this (when it's actually against their interests to do so, since it increases price transparency) would be an impossible task, but AI can get around this requirement with minimal extra effort.
I'm hardly an AI evangelist, but this is actually one of the rare situations where it's a good fit.
Really looking forward to this once it's complete! I'm currently using ranmaru22's vertical tabs, but having something native that won't risk breaking with FF updates will be nice.
America really is an amazing country. I've never even heard of about half of this tier list.
People saying Steam doesn't have a monopoly because other stores exist, is the same as saying Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly on PC Gaming because Mac and Linux exist. Technically true, but ultimately meaningless because its their market power that determines a monopoly, not whether there are other niche players.
While Valve and Steam have generally been a good player, and currently do offer the best product, they still wield an ungodly amount of influence over the PC gaming market space.
Epic is chasing that because they really want what Valve has, though no doubt they plan to speedrun the enshittification process as soon as they think it safe.
If you don't fill in all the boxes for the House of Representatives ballot paper, you've voted informally and wasted your vote.
If you let your vote exhaust for the Senate ballot paper, you signal that you don't have an opinion on who should get elected once your selected candidates have been eliminated, which basically amounts to throwing your vote away if your preferences haven't already contributed to electing someone.
