Yeah but the cost per passenger is in the hundreds due to private car ownership

Isn't Activision Blizzard, which implies they make call of duty which is one of the games that makes the most money out there?

I don't like any of that, but they do make money.

As for good games, the last one was warcraft 3 maybe


Yeah they still make good money.

I think calling WC3 the last good game is immoderately scornful though.

I regret the time I spent playing WoW, but it was category defining and a cultural phenomenon.

StarCraft 2 was excellent, perhaps to this day the best RTS ever made.

Diablo 3 was highly regarded.


> Diablo 3 was highly regarded.

Lol, Diablo 2 was the last good Diablo (it has a great remaster now btw).


Fair point on WoW and I totally forgot Starcraft 2.

Diablo 3 I played extensively, yet I felt somewhat disgusted by the end of it.

But it's a product of that time. If I think about the games I played recently, nothing holds except Warcraft 3 with the custom maps.

I have little time so I play only what I consider "top" for my taste and drop everything else, even in the "good" category. Due to that my last few years have been games that last me hundreds and hundreds of hours with high satisfaction, or shorter games with high satisfaction.

Either way, I would never play diablo 3 the same amount of time I did back in the day, the only reason I played was because of the friends I had


Diablo 3 got such a harsh reaction that one of the lead game developers quit the industry after


Diablo 3, no, it was horrible

The rest you've mentioned were bangers in their own ways however.


Oh god YES! I paid for paint.net on Windows because it's the only software I find reasonably simple AND reasonably advanced, covering all my usage.

The lack of a linux version was a huge disappointment, especially since most of my computers are switching to windows (I have 2 more on windows and was evaluating moving one of the two over!)


We have kindle scribe and a kobo at home, the kobo experience has been way more rough for epubs. On amazon all I do is access amazon.ca/sendtokindle and I can upload the same epub to my phone and ereader AND keep the current page in sync. The experience with the Kobo is absolutely not even close to that.

And I agree with you I don't like the lock in factor, but I felt more locked on a Kobo than on a Kindle


I am not lazy (for work. I am in my personal life) but when I procrastinate it's due to lack of clarity or due to issues acquiring focus. Both I have ways to address, so I completely agree with you


I mean, I would be in jail for a long time if every time I went to a friend "I wanted to shoot him" was flagged.

God that's horrible.


We have personal small towels to dry off near each bidet in Italy. Not sure if you mean that or the fact that we pre-clean with toilet paper


People say that but even in Italy where bidet is common, you do the first 1-2 passes with toilet paper, then proceed to use a bidet


I do exactly that, I am 100% on board with you.

Ignoring business and team scale in that question brought big damage to businesses, by developing software overly complex at times.

And the cost is of course hidden behind a salary of developers, so hard to say


Oh, finally somebody who gets it! That was incidentally my major disappointment with vim: it is keyboard driven, but the UX wasn't designed to be a perfect keyboard experience (which I expected, given how old it is).

Some examples of what you are asking for can be found in videogames due to controllers


Even as a fairly confident nvim user, I still use and recommend <https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim>


Even as a devoutember of the church of emacs I couldn't live without the emacs version of which-key [1]

[1] I was going to link to a repo, but I just learned that which-key is included in Emacs out of the box.
