Quoting: GuestImagine if you had to send your car back to Japan every time it needed a tire change. That's really stupid.Japan, no, but if you want the tire replaced for free because warranty, you have to go to that car company's dealership.

Quoting: denyasisfrom the comments above, it doesn't seem they are necessarily targeting high end right away (is there a business reason for that? It doesn't make sense to me).I think more of a technical reason: That shit is really, really fucking hard to do. You need to build up expertise over years.

Quoting: LinuxerThis caught my attention because i have never succeeded installing anything in Bottles. I hope this means it's more intuitive to also install games. I don't know if i'm dumb, but i cannot wrap my head around how to use Bottles :neutral:You need a Bottle Opener.

Quoting: toivopIt think it's a significant improvement'You know, that just might help the problem of people slapping on as many categories as possible. If developers knew you were as likely to be using categories for exclusion as for inclusion, they'd lose the incentive to fudge.
It would be good if you could also could have negative items as well as positive ones.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualIf masses of people are using something, no matter what the manufacturer may think I'm not sure you can accurately say it has "reached end-of-life".Quoting: elmapulsecond: WSL wouldnt work on windows 7, 8 and 8.1, people whould be forced to use windows 10/11 or linux (wich is unlikely they would)I have to wonder why developers are expected to support operating systems that have reached end-of-life or will reach end-of-life in less than a year.

Quoting: GuestAt this point, I might as well buy a laptop from Microsoft and run Windows :dizzy:What, and lose the excuse to hang around here being negative about everything?

New poison perks? Can you cultivate an immunity to Iocaine Powder?
Or are we talking about perks that aren't very useful because they poison your character?

Quoting: PhiladelphusI'm a nerd. I'm not a nerd for this particular kind of stuff, but I find I appreciate it when I see nerds nerding out about stuff even when it's not my particular stuff, you know? One of life's simple pleasures.Quoting: CatKillerMy post was mostly a tongue-in-cheek way of conveying hype. :smile: Though just for fun I did my own least-square fit of a linear and an exponential function to the data, and – for this date range – the sum of the squares of the residuals was ever-so-slightly lower for the exponential, indicating that the data, on average, more closely resemble an exponential function than they do a linear one (though not by much). :happy:Quoting: PhiladelphusI think we need to start fitting an exponential rather than a straight line. :tongue:As someone that nagged Liam into putting the trend line on the graph, the simple least-squares line that goes through the mean is the appropriate one to use. It's just a visualisation of the data; it isn't going to show any particular function. Whether the data points squiggle around the trend line, say, or has early data below the trend line and later data above the trend line, helps to visualise what the data are showing.
Actually, could you have multiple fits on the plot? :huh: I don't know what the back end is like.
