I don’t think that GIMP should be the same, but it does have issues with usability. And when you search “how to do X in gimp”, you’ll probably find a 10 steps guide, while in PS that’d be a couple of clicks. There’s no DDS plugin that supports all compression methods at all. There are so many things that won’t go away no matter how many seconds or minutes or years you’ll put into learning GIMP.

I don’t know, forums were much smaller back in the day. You could find a good community, because it was possible to organize one. But I don’t think that’s possible at today’s scale.

With the statement or with the ban?

Anyone with good media equipment cares when they consider purchasing a game. Nobody needs this info every time they launch it.

I don’t think that people are trying to find an eternal solution. Nothing lasts forever. When Discord turns to shit, something else will take its place. There is no need to worry about that when it offers too many advantages today.

Don’t you have to host Mumble somewhere? With Discord anyone can create a server and invite friends for free with no technical knowledge required. That’s a huge plus. I also remember RadCall was a thing for a while, at least where I am from.

I wouldn’t say that Horizon aims to be super realistic. I mean, it’s not far away, especially if we compare it to Elden Ring. But in Horizon colors are saturated, the game looks too beautiful and vibrant to be realistic in my books. I would say Hogwarts Legacy is a better example of a too realistic game: colors are bleak, objects and textures are much closer to what we can find in real life, it does look generic as you say (at least IMO).

It gets good reviews because it’s fun to play. The game is good at its core: you have to scan machines, aim at weak spots, move a lot in the battle to avoid damage, choose right weapons, or you can override a machine and enjoy the show, there are so many options and challenges. Besides, let’s not underestimate the value of good graphics. They make the world nicer, more enjoyable, make you want to come back and play again. I understand that this game is not for everyone though.

I simply envy you because you live in some world where this is the problem worth discussing and getting angry. Or your head is full of shit. It’s probably the latter, given that you put people joking about Arch Linux to the same category as racists and misogynists. In this case, I don’t envy, but pity you.

But with love.

O’NO

This will continue until you’re part of the intended audience.

Ah, yes, another user offended by a joke posted to a community with memes.

Nukes in Palestine? Even Russia can’t use nukes safely in Ukraine due to the potential pollution of their own territory.

You can try, but people won’t be as thrilled for TES or Fallout without Bethesda, for example.

That still makes USA easy mode compared to most countries.

I live in one of the grey countries. You can create an account, but Sony offers different stores in different countries, so you have to pick another country. They even sells consoles in many of the grey countries. The biggest issue is that you probably won’t be able to buy anything without extra hustle because your card is not issued in the country of your PSN account. Also, this is technically against their ToS. But you can create an account to play Helldivers 2.

With that said, I can’t speak for all countries. Maybe somewhere it’s really impossible to create an account without VPN.

And that’s why they can afford investing in VR and in games like HL: Alyx. I enjoyed it very, very much.

And a helicopter.
