  • Sounds likely it won’t have community servers either. Seems like they will have them!

    Private servers do have some downsides (power tripping admins mostly), but it’s also great joining a community and playing with the same group of people regularly, on a server that’s managed by a person who can remove problematic players.

    I feel like modern AAA games have no sense of community anymore, you just hit play and sit in a queue, play with completely random people, and repeat. Sitting on Discord with a group and queuing together (if you’re lucky enough to play a game that allows it) just doesn’t feel the same.

    The matchmaking/queue thing also leads to games being designed for shorter matches with more focus on your score/performance in the match. Those several-hour long BF3 games were always the best because it was just people there to have fun.

    Agreements with payment processors are needed to process payments on platforms like that, so it’s not a feasible thing for a small open source project to pull off IMO.

    If you just want limits on virtual cards, some credit cards have that built in already without needing a third party involved, Citi for example.



  • That web page is 24MB and took over 11s to load on a gigabit connection and fast PC, to show some text with a font that I find very hard to read.

    87 individual .js files !

    24MB to read some text written by an LLM just makes me sad about the current state of things. Especially since it reads like it was written by one, with the buzzwords and run on sentences that don’t always make sense.

    I’d rather read someones opinions and thoughts as they wrote them, even if that means it’s harder to understand or has less content.
