At the moment it looks like what the market is demanding. A few years ago specialisation was in

Oh boy! Not all ads! Oh yippee! I have been blessed on this fine day! 🥰

Are you also against diverse representation in media? That’s been pushed for years, and to an extent we’ve succeeded. There’s no reason we can’t do the same for male role models

This is the pick yourself up by your bootstraps version of raising a child. You can’t seriously expect a 12 year old to have enough wisdom and initiative to do this? Why do we have this unrealistic expectation that men are super capable and just choose to be failures? It’s the same system that fails everybody else, that’s also failing them

That reply is pretty measured considering the topic of women’s preferences was already set. They weren’t going out of their way to hate on women.

People can be pretty shallow creatures, men and women alike. So obviously, whilst money or beauty is not the be all and end all, it allows people to make a better first impression and pass some initial filters. Denying that is just deluding yourself.

Obviously there are always going to be exceptions, some people are actively repulsed by wealth or the current beauty standards

I think there’s a line where it crosses over. Being “in shape” definitely makes you more attractive to women. Being anything above that definitely appeals more to men, and for many women even makes you less attractive

Springtails and certain mites also love to eat fungus. I use them to keep mold under control in my terrariums

Huh, it’s maybe as if, nooooo… it couldn’t be, the Zuck and Elon are my trusted friends, my confidants, they wouldn’t. They couldn’t. No way in hell they’d sell or otherwise compromise my personal data

Oh totally, Linux is in the same ballpark as, if not better than, Macs when it comes to RAM usage. Windows is just a hog

I own a 8GB MacBook Pro for work, it’s definitely better than a PC with 8GB of RAM, but not better or even close to a PC with 16GB. Just the amount of stutters/freezes while the swap file goes is insane

That’s just an APU, see consoles and laptops. The unified memory is basically just the above, but Apple also claims that due to Apple Silicon having the storage controller on board, the swap is magically faster 🤷

Also Mac OS/Linux use less RAM than Windows which certainly helps.

8GB is “fine™” on a MacBook Air, but it’s criminal for a Pro machine, and it certainly should not cost £200 for an extra 8GB. That’s genuinely insane pricing

It is 100% a joke. Literally other than Windows being slightly more RAM hungry, there’s not a huge difference between it and Mac’s RAM

Whoa, that’s like 32GB of Windows RAM. Seems excessive to me tbh

Assassin’s Creed is the best example I can think of. It added a store to literally buy gear. Also see like every MMO. This one is more of a reach, but I’d also say something like Hunt: Showdown falls victim to this, as it would be awesome if you could see a hunter and know their “power level” by the cosmetics.

Horizon, both ZD and FW, are a modern example of having gear progression that exists and isn’t ruined by microtransactions

I feel like gear progression is massively underrated. I love to dress up with my muscley rpg man, and make him look cooler and more awesome as he gets stronger. I don’t want the best cosmetics locked behind a paywall. In MMOs it also just murders any respect/cred you get from having awesome gear that needed you to clear an epic raid or similar.

I get the whole cosmetics thing for “free to pay” e-sport-esc games though, where there’s not really any gear progression

Yeah totally, fighting it also helps buy more time and minimise the “too fast” part

Well, your comment was generic of all ages. Not saying something along the lines of “16 year olds are intelligent enough to vote”, which I would agree with.

We can just just lower the 18 to 16 and resume the same conversation. No need to be condescending, you’re turning a misunderstanding into a disagreement

Lmao, the article is literally talking about children under the age of 10

Fairly sure 2 of them are those vegans and the other is just being contrarian for the sake of it.

It’s a genuinely uplifting post, and there’s not much to say other than it being good news, so the more disagreeable sort are poking holes

That’s a nice dream, and in my perfect world that would be how it worked
