This is a fair point. Forgeable AI is pretty sweet but it's not a replacement for proper campaign expansions unfortunately

In my opinion it is very good these days. Almost all of the major problems at launch have been resolved. There's a ton of game modes and maps. They added firefight, forge, custom games, infection, and there are like 15 different playlist to choose from.

They're actively working on networking improvements (three playlists use the new netcode currently, and they're using that to test how well it works before making the whole game use it).

Cosmetics are in a much better place than at launch. There are a ton of options and a lot of things work on every armor set.

The biggest issue imo is still the battle pass system. Limited time events (like the Christmas event) replace the season pass if you don't buy the paid version, so there isn't much to unlock at a given time unless you pay. But, paid passes never expire, and you can go back and buy old passes, and most passes contain enough credits to buy another pass, so it's basically a one-ti.e fee.

If you don't like Halo, nothing has changed that will make you like it. The game plays like it did at launch in terms of gunplay and movement. But the overall experience is in a much better state than at launch

My university was like this all the buildings were heated (and cooled I believe) via water pipes that ran under campus. There was a giant, dedicated chiller building just off-campus, and presumably a similar building with a giant boiler.

It was about a year ago. A lot of upper management departed. They brought in the guy who used to be in charge of MCC to be the new studio head.

It took a few months to start seeing an impact, but it's been pretty much constant wins since about Season 4 launched. Only L's have been monetization stuff, like the shop prices increasing and battle passes still being pretty weak.

I've recently moved into a house with hot water radiators and I love them. No hazard as long as there's nothing overly sensitive to heat (eg electrical wires) up against them

343 has been full of W's ever since the new management took over. We love to see it.

A year or so I turned off targeted ads from Google. I very quickly noticed an increase in ads with anime tiddies.

I guess Google sees a correlation between people who worry about privacy, and people who are likely to click on anime tiddies...

Most of the games I play don't run on Linux sadly. Even Lethal Company, which is perfectly fine on Linux, couldn't be captured by OBS, so I had to switch to Windows before I could stream.

Game compatibility is getting better but still not good

I'm nervous about how long it'll be until those stop working

Going from 256GB -> 1TB is $400. That's insanity. A 1TB NVME drive is less than $100 these days.

For me the real value is that a good password manager makes it easier to not use "login with Google" for everything

  1. Ditch Chromium.
  2. Use a Password Manager instead of "log in with Google/Facebook/whatever"
  3. Keep tabs on Mobile App permissions and revoke as many as you possibly can. I revoke location permissions from every single app except Navigation apps, which have to ask for location permissions. If possible, remove apps in favor of Native Alpha / Hermit web apps
 

Are there plans to support copying images to the clipboard? On Pixel I don't have a good way of doing this, other than opening the image in the browser and copying it from there.
