Oh yeah, so it does. My client was showing it as deleted until I refreshed.

What were they wagering, I'm curious now.

Yeah, I tried giving it a shot twice, but both times after 5-6 hours I just came to the conclusion that the game wasn't respecting my time, and was punishing me for exploring.

The worst part is that its popularity lead to other games copying it, meaning half of metroidvanias released after it have the same issues. I started to just filter out any game that had corpse runs as it was a good indicator of how much I'd hate it.

I'm guessing the word "unless" was floating around Stalin's head at the time.

Cantarell is indeed nice. Gnome switched to Inter recently, but I could only stomach it for a few minutes before switching back to ol' Cant.

They largely brought that on themselves. I mean obviously they did by removing the jack, but I think moreso by claiming to be better than the rest of the industry - and charging a premium for that difference.

When Samsung removed the jack it was annoying, and also very hypocritical as they had made fun of Apple for that just a year before, but it was to be expected from a corporation like that. These guys promised they weren't like that, and then did the same thing.

You can imagine it like this: if you see an ad by a pop star trying to sell you some bullshit product that doesn't work you'd think "that's shitty" and move on. But if you saw the same ad, but instead of the plain old pop star it was the members of Rage Against the Machine, you'd notice that a lot more. Everything they had done before would ring hollow, and every time someone would bring them up you'd remember that they're just posers looking to make a buck off of a demographic.

And that's how I feel about this phone. Just posing as something better.

Sadly, they made it outdated. And it was surprisingly easy to convince people of that fact.
They said to people "we're taking away functionality from you, but it's a good thing, as now we can sell you the new stuff and you won't have a choice - make sure to argue with people that don't agree," and most people obeyed for whatever reason.

I was the pond.

Well, you have to own one of these things when you're a king, you know.

The thing I'm supposed to be doing is on workspace 3...

And a subscription fee

To be fair, they made it free to play 13 years ago, less than a year after release.

Can you share more details please?

 

Image links on lemmy used to be nice and short(ish), but now that they get proxied they look pretty ugly - especially if an image gets proxied through multiple instances, which is something I've seen quite a few times. I assume this is simply because someone copied a proxied link on one instance and posted it on another.

Would it be possible to add an option to un-proxy the link before copying it? Not sure if this would work better as a global setting or another context menu item, but I would find it very useful.

Example:

Normal: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/288a95d3-b040-475c-9b8c-6fe4fe14fcac.png

Ugly: https://lemmy.zip/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Feurope.pub%2Fapi%2Fv3%2Fimage_proxy%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Flemmy.ml%252Fpictrs%252Fimage%252F288a95d3-b040-475c-9b8c-6fe4fe14fcac.png

And thank you for the great app.
