Sounds like a dirty word

Yes and no

Normally used for the CIA but also used for agencies like the ATF, FBI, etc. Their inability to blend in to the native population’s habits, patterns and speech makes them stick out like a sore thumb to the population, hence they “glow in the dark.”

It is small and cramped in adult hands.

But is space (and its resources) truly infinite?

“Games as a service” are by design never really finished, right? If you are cool with that, go for it. I have never personally tried one.

As an illustration, grab an endgame save from 1.0 and open it up in a modern version of the game. The moment you step out of the door, you will be greeted with a series of cutscenes/dialogs explaining several of the various game mechanics that were added in the versions since 1.0. These are game mechanics that, if they had been part of the game from the start, would have greatly altered how one would have chosen to play and reach endgame. One may have prioritized different crops, events, upgrades, relationships, decorations, etc.

Stardew Valley is absolutely worth the money, and the content updates definitely make it even more of a bargain. But calling the transition from 1.0 to 1.6+ “minor adjustments to gameplay” is disingenuous.

I just miss the days when games were already finished upon release.

What would you call it? Live service does not really fit

My issue with Stardew Valley content updates is that they change how the game works. It is not just adding extra postgame missions or something. The content updates tend to fundamentally change how some things work. Your possible/preferred routes to reach endgame today are much different than they were in 2016. It makes it feel like perpetual Early Access.

Game changing updates like this every so often that make you feel like it is an unfinished game still in early access. You may as well just wait until it is finished to actually start playing.

EDIT: Sorry, that is far from “high level”

Wow, that is the opposite of my experience. I have only had problems with the power button fingerprint readers. My last three phones have used in-display readers, and that has been so much more reliable for me.

I do still use my Pixel Tablet, which uses a power button fingerprint reader for some reason, and I am constantly fighting with it.

I have used this as a drop-in replacement, with no complaints.

Florisboard (Android keyboard) was recently updated for the first time in two years. Literally one day after I had given up on it and uninstalled it.

“Security through obscurity” will only get you so far

The decade is not even half over yet…

But so far, from what I have heard, I would place 99% of Nintendo’s eShop in that category

I agree that comments like that are unhelpful/unnecessary, but how is that “for their own benefit”? Other than the actual devs themselves using that as a way to just ignore issues, I do not follow

Wtf is search engines and why is no one explaining it

it’s almost flawlessly jailbreakable, allowing you to play anything that was produced for it, including games for PS1 and PS2!

Do all models support PS2 emulation? Unlike with official firmware, where only a few models have that support.

“People” refers to a group of humans as a unit. “Persons” also refers to a group, but puts emphasis on the individuality of the humans in the group.
