Yeah, I bought it for 10ct

I don’t see people hating discord for it, just pointing out that it was a bad choice from the beginning

This has nothing directly to do with The Day Before, but: Backing a Kickstarter is something completely different and that has to come into peoples heads. Preorders are for a mostly finished product that will 100% ship. The devs have enough funding from investors and publishers, the game will be released no matter how little preorders they will get. Crowdfunding however is for an idea in its infancy that might never be finished. Crowdfunding is an investment.

But where is the difference in this case, The Day Before? Well, easy: When you invest in a kickstarter, the company has to use the money you invested to actually develop the game. They can’t buy fancy cars with the money, they need to put it to good use. If the company uses the money for their own personal benefit, they can be sued for that. For preorders thats not the case.

I couldn’t disagree more with you.

1. There was no preorder
2. This was a Kickstarter Project where a lot of people backed
3. For years the devs didn’t give a lot of information to the backers
4. There was a class action lawsuit for scamming against the developers because they just took the money and didn’t do anything with it
5. Now they published something so they can say “here we did something with all of the money” yet it’s obvious that what they developed did not take years.

It’s pretty obvious that they only published the game in the current state because of the lawsuit. The game is a total scam and they deserve the hate from the people that invested a lot of money when backing. Backing on Kickstarter has something to do with trust. Of course, the project may never be finished and that’s okay. But it’s obvious here, that they just took the money and did not use it for the game.

There are eggs and a bottle of water

I think Sony still releases decent small phones

If you use your phone like 99% of people do, it will be completely fine. If you don’t do gaming or 4K video editing on your phone, there’s no problem. The CPU will even be fine for Instagram face filters for the foreseeable future

Samsung is using by far the worst OEM Rom, Pixel has by far the best. Go for the Pixel

If you own a Windows 10/11 Pro version, you can set a group policy for control of updates. If you own a Home edition, you need to change a Registry entry. It’s not hard, but just as you I like Auto update more because I tend to forget to manually update

Actually the story goes different. There was no foot tequila scene planned, but Salma Hayek improvised it. It’s possible that with this scene, Salma Hayek started it all for Tarantino and his feet obsession

The law is ready for that. If and when the USB association agrees on a new standard thats not USB-C, then the new standard will be required after a transitional period. Right now it doesnt seem likely that this will happen in the near future, but in 10 years? Maybe

It’s the amount of money that makes it worth it. If they are successfull the amount is usually something like $10,000-$30,000. If they are only successful once every 2000 calls thats still worth it. Now you would say 2000 calls with 50 people in a call center means they are only successful once every few days and you are totally correct. But you have to put this into consideration with what they are usually paid. If you work in IT for huge companies like Accenture or McKinsey you will earn around 8-10k if you are in upper management and 6-8k if you are a normal worker. That’s yearly. So every successful scam for these scam companies pays up to 5 peoples yearly salary

Literally the only thing missing from the Fairphone 5 is an optical zoom, otherwise it has all features a modern phone should have. I don’t get why people always want the latest and greatest processing power in their smartphones, when all they do is text and take pictures with it

Especially now that Noise Cancelling headphones are everywhere and work as good as they do. Since I’ve got my Sony headphones a crying infant becomes only a really minor inconvenience

I like my Galaxy Watch. I use it 95% of the time as a watch, notification reader and fitness tracker only, where a Mi Smart Band would be totally fine for the same functionality, but 5% of the time I use the WearOS functionality which is a great benefit

It’s a default windows setting

This is the new embedded Twitter post on News sites, not on Twitter directly. That’s why I clicked the X, wanting it to go away but I ended up on X and gave Elon a click

Happens all the time for me. It’s such a stupid design decision to put it up there (or maybe it’s on purpose?)

DEVs do care. As a developer working on something you want to be proud of it. Publishers do not care.

Have you ever shaved your butt and then stopped shaving it? It’s awful, the stubbles are so extremely itchy
