The story was compelling but damn ... if they make the film like the game it's either going to be 10h or it's going to just be walking across the moor's

The entire backstory and what goes on is really interesting but the game was ... going postal when you were the postman and really did deliver

Encouraging... need a couple more to REALLY indicate if this is following the growth curve.



Its taken 62months to get here... if this trajectory holds then it will be 12% in 38months (ie 3years)

So we are getting more points to start to see a better trend.
We know this has to be sigmoid in nature and so best fitting on that produces the profile below ... it will be interesting over the next 6 months to see if this follows this because if it does then we are entering into the expansion stage of adoptions. If it comes down and it is then reverts to linear we are still in the early adoption

Finally some decent punishment for the toxic behaviour that isn't bannable but is distruptive.

This is going to be total chaos...
tags will be taken, all server rooms permissions will need to be (manually) re-applied and you are not going to know who is who for quite some time...

Prodeus cancels the Native Linux version, focusing on Proton compatibility (updated)

Well I feel a bit of a mug for getting this when I did...
Only reason I backed was linux-native ... the alternative (as I was interested) was wait till release, wait till sales and pick up a windows game for cheap...

Yes teh game is fun, yes it runs well in Proton but that wasn't why I handed over my money early..

I won't be buying any of their future games and I will only buy full-price if native AND released, otherwise sales.

bad form... really bad form.

Dota 2 gets another new hero with Primal Beast, Techies reworked
24 February 2022 at 2:56 pm UTC

Ha! So they made the primal beast from the dungeon run a hero... Interesting

And finally techies gets a slap! He is an obnoxious pain either to the opposition OR to their own team as 99% they are fucking useless
