I’m just a guy, my dudes.

Also worth noting, US regulators knew it was a bad idea in 2013, but guidance has been completely ignored of course. Luckily tegulators in Europe are doing something with more teeth: https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/driving-tech/is-the-beginning-of-the-end-for-car-touchscreens/#:~:text=Euro NCAP – Europe’s leading automotive,switches will be required instead.
Gross, awful, terrible. Buuuuuut…
Hard to swallow pill: This will probably get tweaked and eventually be very successful. Most people do not like or know how to mess with settings on their phones. You, on this website, are probably an exception but deep inside you know that. How many friends and family members have you had to explain how to change something on their phones? How many have you noticed that NEED to change something on their phones but didn’t even know it, much less think to ask? Now think of all the people whose phones you’ve never even seen.
Of course I’d love to see it go the way of touchscreens in cars where consumers reject it, but I just don’t see it. Assuming they can get it to where it does the 5 or 10 tasks the average user would want to do, this will probably be the new norm moving foward. Don’t believe me? Look at modern macs or windows and how many settings they hide.
Ah, gotcha. Well, best of luck. I’ll let you know what I think when my beta invite comes in. Still waiting.
Have you looked at direct integration with Garmin Connect? My guess is they and probably Fitbit have the huge majority of the market.
I’m actually dumb and my Garmin tracks my steps, so I DO know exactly how many I take (27,689 weekly). Damn I need to use my treadmill desk more consistently. That’s low.
I saw in other comments wearables don’t work. That’s kind of a bummer. I like to leave my phone charging on my desk and let the watch track.
I signed up, happy to try it out and give feedback. No idea what my average number of steps is because I don’t super care about that, but I’d expect it to go way up if I suddenly did care (through a gamified app).
Everyone calling it a shooter MOBA is right, but more basically: It’s Smite. It’s just Smite, but good. I played the Smite 2 alpha and it was very lame, no verticality, gunplay felt bad. Deadlock has an original theme, gunplay feels tight, and there is clearly a huge skill ceiling. I don’t know if it’s 100% yet, which tracks cuz it’s an alpha, but it’s already better than Smite and I have faith they’ll make it better.
Anyone using bots that are openly bots would be limiting their shit to robots.txt. Anyone who is out trawling the whole website is probably obfuscating what they’re doing by spoofing new user agents.
DOTA popularized and also invented the battle pass mechanic.
It pops up on steam and says you’ve been invited to a game test.
Sent. Should come through in a couple hours I guess. They’re pretty slow.
Sent. When you accept will send.

Good, cause I played the Smite 2 alpha and it was kinda garbage. I literally said out loud “this is like Dota for babies”. It didn’t even have good FPS mechanics to make up for no depth.
Where would we meet you? Outside? I don’t go there, I’m too addicted to DOTA.
Then me! I’ll do whoever is next in the chain!
Got one over on the reddit thread. Still waiting for it to come through because apparently there’s a delay, but I’ll invite some folks once it comes in.

Yeah I don’t understand how this is different than headscale, but I’m very much not savvy on the pipes and tubes that make the Internet go round. Can anyone explain?
