I noticed in my local supermarket in the UK they started wearing cameras too it's really weird. I'm really not sure what their goal is - it will never help shoplifting as much as static cameras, and seems a lot of effort to safeguard against abusive customers.

Eh I dunno, I got bored of it before I finished the story or explored the other half of the map. Feels like a bit of a failing there. 30 hours would be fine if it was a fully contained experience.

This doesn't even make sense to me. Are we assuming these people don't own their own homes and are still paying rent to reach these figures? 31k to be 'moderate' seems absolutely stupid to me if housing is taken care of, and who has 31k a year pension but didn't pay off their mortgage by retirement? Seems their definition of comfortable must include a lot of expensive holidays.

Maybe she should buy twitter and ban the guy, or is this the wrong billionaire I am thinking of?

Hogwarts is fun for about 30 hours roleplaying as a wizard, as a casual potter fan. I got really bored of it after that and never finished the game. At its core it really is very generic, it's really propped up by the IP. That's not to say it's bad by any means but its not got the depth of Zelda.

Yep, in the UK it's part of the theory test, you have to know how and when to check air and fluid levels in order to get a licence.

Where are you from where those things are not part of a driving test?

In some ways maybe but the fact there is enough space for everyone and people don't have to fight for it kinda defeats the most interesting aspects of Place if you ask me.

 

Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.

I like the content but I'm struggling to really dive in regularly without better app support. Hoping Boost for Lemmy gets released before long and that will give a more refined experience.
