I'm sure some of the older game servers will be offline by now. Hopefully not Black Flag yet.

I'm enjoying Odyssey. I had 6 hours on the game from 2018, I decided to restart the game about a month ago, and now my total playtime is 82 hours. Last year I think I clocked about 10 hours on the Playstation in total. So this has definitely been a surprising amount of fun. I'm very driven by trophies and open world missions though.

There was a privacy popup for me, then a pinned ad at the bottom of the screen. I dismissed that with no problem. While scrolling through the article there were two inline ads.

Pretty reasonable amount of ads TBH.

I'm just wrapping up AC Odyssey. I'll be heading back to Unity to finish it off soon. I still have a couple of things to finish in Black Flag, too.

I never really got into the online multiplayer aspects of AC. It really bugged me that they put trophies in the game on that, and now I can never plat the game.

I'm an Android developer, and I can't think of a weirder place to do the job than at Apple. I bet it's weird there.

I'm not American, I just live here... for now

Yeah, I'm sure they left the spelling mistake in the image on purpose to get increased engagement from pedants like me. I'm sorry, it works on me.

Prime, Freevee (closing down), and MGM+.

Assuming we don't just get 8 years of President Vance...

I suspect most CEOs are going to take that small risk in order to earn a few more billions, and spend a tiny portion of that on additional security. Maybe donate a pittance to the police.

If you can make $1000, and it costs you $500 to make you secure doing that, then it's worth it. Line must go up, as everyone says.

Why would they snub a massive driver of revenue?

[–] essteeyou@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Because if you believe it's worth $97B you don't offer to overpay by $3B...

Yeah, if they're down for over three weeks then I imagine they'll be forced to refund at least some of the PS+ price.

 

In the task where they had to count the seats in the cinema Andy Zaltzman says "one" while he's talking. That should have been his accepted answer.

Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us.

It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

 

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!
