Thanks! I’ll eventually give them a try…

Are any of these a smooth transition coming from Adobe programs? I really don’t want to re-learn my entire workflow in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

I only pre-order Guild Wars 2 expansions, as it’s my favourite game and I know that whatever I get, I’ll feel that it was worth the money for the thousands of hours of fun I’ve got out of that game :)

But I wouldn’t preorder anything else - I have a massive Steam backlog, and a few years after release I can get the properly finished, patched version of games with all the expansions for a fraction of the price (+ all the mods and community resources that had time to develop and mature). Last year I got Witcher 3 for like 90% off lol. No need to rush, there are so many older games I haven’t played yet…

Btw I was a r/patientgamers member for years, I see that they also have a community on Lemmy :) https://sh.itjust.works/c/patientgamers

(…) anger over his $1,000 (£600) donation in 2008 to support Californian anti-gay marriage laws bubbled over when he was appointed chief executive.

need a Chromium browser for technical reasons

With a similar use case, after messing around with Brave, then Ungoogled Chromium for a few years, I just reinstalled Google Chrome last month. I literally only need it for making sure webdesign stuff I do works okay in Chrome, and for the extremely rare websites I come across that refuses to work in Firefox 🤷 I didn’t change any settings or install even an adblocker, to make sure I’m testing as close to the “vanilla” experience as possible. I also don’t log into any accounts with it, so I don’t really care if Google sees what I do for that 2-3 page visits / month.

I think anyone who is already using Firefox knows very well why they wouldn’t want to use Brave 🤷 (My main reasons were being a Chromium browser and having unwanted crypto features included.)

Edit: Oh yes, and the CEO’s homophobia is not helping either…

that 2nd sentence is pure poetry 👌

thanks for recommending this channel, seems right up my alley!

Good, fuck gacha mechanics (saying this as a Genshin player lol.) A guaranteed 5* character costs 400 USD. (Would be ~356, but they don’t let you buy exactly that much virtual currency.)

I hope they leave it an option to keep the search engine selector on the bottom, that way it’s just one click; having to do an extra click on a dropdown would be of no use to me.
