In my work machine, mine has a special feature when someone shares their screen during a call and you go full-screen - the extreme audio lag feature.

Don't forget to do the currently running expedition (always free/not $7 btw) so you get the free cool ship.

Even Morrowind was a simplified version of Daggerfall, even though it was groundbreaking when it was released. They decided that the direction to take was to simplify the mechanics progressively, to make the series more appealing to more people, as opposed to adding interesting complications back as their tech develops. They succeeded in their mantra of "keep it simple, stupid". I don't have any hope that the next game will be more interesting. It will look prettier, of course.

Well, same thing happens with Gaza, but also Ukraine loses. So take that, Biden.

Teams started out okay. But the recent update made it worse. The microphone constantly disconnects now. Earlier today I lost sound completely just when I was being asked to talk. And the sound starts to get choppy during screen shares. I rarely had these issues with Webex and Zoom. So it's not even more compatible with their own software. EU doesn't have anything to worry about. /s

This place is not only for people wanting to get away from Reddit because of their poor policies. This apparently is also a place for people who got away from reddit because they have shitty opinions that weren't tolerated even there.

It's been years but Daggerfall to me feels like the ideal RPG. They did make it a point to make simpler games after Daggerfall. Beginning with Morrowind, the magic categories slowly got reduced, the skills were intentionally consolidated and reduced in number. That's the reason why the later games sold really well. Starfield still sold well despite the valid criticisms but they should have trended into more complexity for a space game. Bethesda games are the junk food of games (and sports games are Mountain Dew or something).

I get logged out every time I change VPN location, and sometimes I'm too lazy to log back in. Does being logged out count as inactive?

On the contrary, there are more posts here that shill for MS too, than on Reddit. But that's probably because of too much Linux.

That's similar to what I thought their Xbox strategy was. The rich kid buys an entire store because he has no idea how to prepare things for a party(i.e., make games). Now he owns the store (which is profitable tbf) but he still has no idea how to throw a party (i.e., Xbox games like Halo are still dead and they still don't have a good play test strategy the way Sony or Valve does so they keep releasing broken games). Xbox over the years slowly lost the formula to making great games to poor corporate management.

Happened to me on a recent Windows update too. A popup about Game Pass and a Bethesda game I'm no longer buying.

Youtube doesn't run for free, but they can save more money by firing a few executives than go after the minority adblock users. It's not the creators that really matter (but they're the group of people who are visible and who we can relate to) but you would not be saying the same thing if they were totally honest and say they're raising money so the executives can keep on "executing" and that investors can keep their short term profits.
