Vapor World: Over The Mind is a Soulslike Metroidvania

Daring today, aren't we? Is it also a deck builder somehow? No wonder they had to slop the slop, creative juices run out on the fourth word of the title

True, but to be quite honest, I'm not that paranoid. The unity analytics I don't care about, they can have that. I wouldn't like it if they were doing something beyound checking out how their engine works, but I don't think that's happening yet (although I might be mistaken)

Modern tripple A games are shitty 9 times out of 10, and remaining good ones are way overpriced. But gaming is on all time rise, the amount of incredible games around, made by passionate and talented people are staggering. Indy is where it's at!

Snickers would never! Dick Vein is an integral part of the snickers experience

I tought people computers for some time. As long as there is some motivation, you can teach an 80 years old violin teacher to patch Linux drivers and recompile kernel.

You might be loosing a grip here a bit

Caring about future wasn't that popular among kids anyway, but when everyone kinda accepts that the future should be sacrificed on an altar of a line going up, it's even harder to care. We're going to burn last available resources and warm planet until we can't grow crops anymore, so we can generate bad videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti. Who the fuck cares about long division or mitochondria when the most popular occupation in 2050 is projected to be "water refugee".
Sure, it's a doom scenario, it's not guaranteed, we can somehow persevere, humanity always does. And even in the doom scenario It's not impossible that we'll conserve the civilization in some form.
What we have lost forever is the trust of our kids, that ship has sailed. When Greta Thunberg asked us not to destroy the planet, the collective response was mockery, anger, and pedo threats. There is a generational disdain bigger than it was for boomers.

I grew up with no portable electronics available at all, we also didn't learn shit. If your topic is shit and your presentation is boring, kids would find how to ignore you. If it's interesting, they will listen to you no matter how many smartphones they have. It's hard, that's for sure, but this infantilising bullshit makes it harder, not easier. You have to treat the kids like people, that's the only way. Also you need to recognise that they aren't adults, so you can't expect them have hours of uninterrupted attention, smartphones or not.

Or better yet, teach your kid responsible usage and live them alone.

This is if they have the same size battery, which might not be the case if one needs more to work.
Also, the state of charge might be inaccurate, it might report zero on a secondary one if the primary is also down just so you put it both back on charger so they equalise.
Also it might all be bullshit and we're speculating on it randomly.

Oh, they fucking do that? Bloody hell, that's low. Maybe it depends on a country, but when I bought my previous Lenovo around 2019, they had an option without the OS and it was slightly cheaper, and only available for a small subset of laptops.
The only new laptop I got since was Framework, and obviously, they're also great in this regard, but I feel like they're outliers.

If a company is doing it it's already is. But most are selling you windows compulsively.
