Especially with games where it runs fine in the starting area, but performance tanks once you enter The City.

I really hope they won't completely fuck it up, though, it would be a really neat feature.

Neat. It's going to be interesting how they will solve the issue of different quality settings - I don't care about FPS at "ultra" settings, usually it's more important how the FPS are at *low* settings before you have to take desperate measures like turning down the resolution, completely turning off antialiasing, using upscaling etc. that have an extremely negative effect on graphics fidelity.

Also, two games running at an average of 60FPS might give very different experiences depending on how *consistent* the FPS are.

I guess I'm eating nothing but garbage every day.

I'm definitely not paying *those* prices.

When's the last time a "billion-dollar startup" was a net positive for society? All I see is grifters and privacy-invading, planet-polluting tech that furthers authoritarian government policy.

Do you have either Aldi or Lidl within easy walking distance to your home/school/workplace? If so, just go to that one.

How can you get spaghetti wrong?

Don't they carry regular pasta (spaghetti etc.)?

Neither is cheap enough to justify not going to an EDEKA or REWE if those are in reasonable walking distance. Usually, the cheap store brands of EDEKA, REWE are just as cheap as the equivalent products at Aldi and Lidl (in Germany, at least). And even if you use a car for shopping, EDEKA and REWE have a much bigger selection.

And they especially don't want end users to be informed about the game's life expectancy before they pay for it!

How exactly does supporting genocide get them elected? I don't get the impression that Labour voters want to see Palestinians murdered.

Depends on the topic. Economic and foreign policy sure, and he most likely got pointers on how to actually put his views into action, but the guy voted in favor of letting husbands rape their wives in 1997. Telling him to hate on LGBT+ is like kicking in an open door.

Hey now, that guy is perfectly capable of being a reactionary piece of shit on his own! This kind of thing is entirely in line with what he already thinks.

I don't like her, either, but the vote was initiated by a far righter (i.e. a corporate far right bootlicker), and I rather doubt that we'll get a new commission president who is *more* progressive than her, considering the current balance of power in the EU parliament.

I hope you're aware that words like Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz aren't exactly easy to understand for Germans, either. If there's one thing English is usually really good at, it's dumbing things down to a level that's easy to understand for the reader; some scientific texts are genuinely easier to understand in the English translation than in the German original, even if you're a native German speaker with a relevant university degree.

Technically Schyzerdütsch is High German (you could even say it's the *Highest* German, considering elevation), while what most Germans call 'Hochdeutsch' is actually standard german (which, to be fair, is mostly derived from High and Middle German dialects, as opposed to Low German (and Middle German is much more similar to High German than to Low German)).

It's really not that different.

German: Dampfschiffkapitän

English: steam boat captain

German, if compound words worked like in English: Dampf Schiff Kapitän

English, if compound words worked like in German: steamboatcaptain

I did it as a toddler, how hard could it be for adults?

A million refugees don't change that she is denying genocides. The million refugees are only special because her party is so racist, anyway.
