Love the backpack! (Loving the good boy goes without saying)

Welcome and enjoy!

Yeah, no civilization can get rid of bad people. It just gives them camouflage

In my native language just the first word gets capitalized in a title. I don't think anyone ever explained to me why English capitalizes (almost) every word.

It's kinda weird that this makes perfect sense.

Long time since I played, but still... welcome Commander o7

There is no campaign. There is (I assume this is still the case) some background story developing (via in game news articles) There are/were community goals which are a at least couple of days long missions basically that essentially give the community options to branch this background story in a way (depending on if the goal succeeds or fails). Sometimes they used to do two goals at once that may work against each other even. Not quite sure how they manage it now, but I'm pretty sure they made it more dynamic with Thargoids (aliens) fucking shit up. Mostly it's make your own fun kind of game.

There is multiplayer, I assume people still play in Open play. But people also can play Solo. The chatter you see is mostly NPCs, players will have "CMDR" before their names and have hollow (or is it solid? Again, long time :D) icons on radar. It's a big galaxy so might be a a while until you meet other players, unless you go to popular places.

Mouse will give you better control of the ship (or so was the consensus) but I found it infinitely more enjoyable with a joystick or at least a gamepad. HOTAS will give you ultimate immersion - and immersion is I think Elite's strongest suit.

Pros: you have a weekend when other people don't. So wherever you want to go, there will likely be less people there (thoug do account for morning and evening workday traffic). Some places you may need to go to may be closed on weekends, but you won't face this issue.

Cons: you have weekend when other people don't... If you want to do something with other people, you will likely be limited to evenings.

It's nice if you have a close person who can have similar week schedule like you, or if you just want to do stuff by yourself. I did use work like that (though I didn't have fixed days) and it had its perks for sure. Split days off may be manageable sometimes, but it is a terrible idea longterm. Might work forbyou, we are all different - but I'd advise against it. Go for it sometimes if you need to change shifts with someone (especially if you could get a 3 day "weekend" out of it), but I'd advise against having it fixed like that.

I guess it's about how you see quality. There are many products that are mass produced but if something is handmade, people see value in it to this day.

When or if AI will reach the point you describe... there will be still something special behind a performance done by a living flesh and blood person.

AI may have its place, but I don't think it should be the be all end all

I mean... the book wants to convince people whi buy on Amazon so technically it's just where it needs to be

I only have experience with Mint, but you could try running GW2 as a steam game? Not sure if it would help.

You need to add "-provider Portal" to the launch options so you can use your non-steam account.

Could also ask in !guildwars2@lemmy.wtf for GW2 specific advice.

Huh, never saw single egg being sold.

"Corporate needs you to find difference between this (motion) picture and this (motion) picture"

Happy birthday!

It wasn't. I legitimately wouldn't get it otherwise. Which I also don't necessarily see as a bad thing either in this case.

Thanks for the title, I think I'd never got it otherwise

Spacetime machine just doesn't have the same ring to it

My view is that the dog became an undead, but breaks the "undead are terrifying and dangerous" trope by being a good boi. Love between dog and its human is eternal.

dads asking for advices from other dads

There is !dads@feddit.uk that could work - though not too active.

Also !parenting@lemmy.world might fit this need

This fear is pretty much why I don't get one, even if I'd live to get one

There are many great shows that could take the nr 1 spot but SG-1 just has a special place in my heart. At least up to 8th season.
