  At least they all appear to be cosmetics like pet skins, furniture, and outfits. I didn’t see any gameplay locked behind a paywall.

  I’ve had Sun Haven in my library for a while, but I’ve been holding off on playing it due to reviews calling out bugs at launch. Is it in good shape now that it’s had a few major updates? And how does it compare to the other juggernauts in the genre (old Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, and Stardew Valley)?

  Also, it looks like the game is being review-bombed on Steam right now. Is that just due to the deluge of DLC with the latest update, or is there something bigger wrong with the game?

  And traffic sniffing to detect hotspots/tethering, which often have limits of a few gigabytes even on “unlimited” plans, after which they charge you extra even though it costs them the same as any other traffic.

  Because their plan is to go all-in on Bethesda and “high-impact” titles. They don’t care if a game is good or beloved by fans if it doesn’t sell millions of copies at AAA prices.

  Starfield made a fortune based purely on Bethesda hype, despite being meh. The next Fallout or Elder Scrolls will do even better regardless of quality, so that’s where their investment goes.

  For Google Fiber to have been successful, Google would have had to overturn countless local laws (paid for by the ISPs) that granted the one who laid down the lines a monopoly on their use. So even if Google had won it would have been a net win for customers, as it would have paved the way for local ISPs to compete with the national ones.

  Don’t want to dig, and throw roadblocks in the way to prevent anyone else from doing it (just ask Google Fiber).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats your favorite Main Menu music?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Arcanum’s main theme gets my vote.

  It’s weird. It’s terrible as music - just random strings with almost no recognizable tune outside of the first few seconds - but it sets a mood better than any other. It’s distilled melancholy in music form.

  Most space used by games is taken up by textures and audio. Textures can be downsampled (every time you halve texture resolution you quarter the file size) and audio can be resampled at a lower bitrate without the quality drop being too noticeable on tiny phone screens/speakers.
