You know I have something cool to say about Epic
A few months ago my windows got corrupted. Very nice Microsoft, SSDs SO COOL. So I had to reinstall everything right. Steam, EA Play, OBS the usual shit.
I absolutely cannot get Epic to install, I love it. It's on the same level as that Ubisoft shit

Windows Update
Microsoft seal of quality for you. Windows update bricked my wifi drivers permanently and even fucked with the wifi receiver in my laptop. The fucking H1-B pajeets under Bill Gates can't code for shit.Windows Update
You can block auto update in windows using local group policy editor
Open the policy editor and go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update. double click on Configure Automatic Update and click on enabled. Under Configure automatic updating, choose 2 - Notify for download and auto install. This way you will still get a notification when there is a windows update but you get to choose whether to install it or not.
If your windows is home edition and not pro edition, you can upgrade it to pro using MAS since the group policy editor is only available to windows pro.

Just saw this on Twitter, and it looks pretty interesting. Also, holy shit. They opened this kickstarter on the 8th, and they've already made $24k.

FUCKING MIDSEASON DIVISION DROP IS SO AIDS
these niggas have abandoned like 2 projects already. The last one was an interactive waifu vr game funded on patreon. They stopped posting about it for a while and then came back with this one.
and it will bring the autists back to play for the rank grind keeping the game populated.
well played.
Update on Marvel Rivals:
They listened to everyone complaining about a second rank reset and will not be doing that 4 division drop when the second half of Season 1 launches

"Listening is cringe."- Blizzard dev.
One of the core things a long-term Live Service game has to do is create useful community feedback loops that don't get overtaken by either random friend networks of CR staff or data manipulation on social media sites. What ends up happening is that getting the Devs "ear" tends to be the single most valuable resource for getting anything fixed.
It's why Warframe still has an active community even after all DE's fuckups despite sometimes being slow to act or ignoring feedback they overall listen.
it's why Blizzard USED to be respected. Battlenet gave them valuable feedback on what warcraft 3 should have been and also contributed to diablo and their other games gave them a leg up until the internet became much more common.
not all player suggestions are good mind.
It's why WoW constantly has a cynical fanbase. The devs are not only resistant to change but when they do meet player criticism, they always talk down to and only meet them halfway at most. They rarely try to explain why they think their idea of the problem is right while refusing to engage the playerbase's own evidence, whether incorrect or correct.
The rare times they do acquiesce, you can expect them to revert it or circumnavigate it at a later time. Case in point, flying mounts in WoW. Devs notoriously hated implementing flying mounts in the first expansion.
Blizzard artists were mad that players would just fly over their work without looking at the zones they crafted (kek grow a pair). Other devs hated that flying mounts made it easier for resource gathering, which affected internal metrics for power scaling and play time. Every expansion after was either you needed to pay a large amount of gold at level cap to fly in the new continent or later on, had to do numerous achievements before being able to fly.
This wasn't really addressed in any meaningful way until Dragonflight where they added dragonriding (more involved press-buttons-to-go-faster-and-loop-de-loop) and got rid of a number of those artifical stopgates to flying. Fast forward to today, where the upcoming new zone, once again, won't allow you to fly becase uhhhh underground (bullshit, this entire expansion until now had flying and it was nearly all underground) and they added mario kart driving on the ground. No one asked for this.

Remember that the WoW team has basically been run by the old guard of Elitist Jerks for a decade and a half. The guild and their forums were already the embodiment of "shut up, we know better" and the forum's fall from relevance was near instant as soon as sites like Icy Veins and a wider group of theorycrafters emerged in the WotLK era. You can see all sorts of examples similar to the flying issues in their design from Wrath, going forward. An irritating example in Wrath was the way they added vehicles that were just one or two "fun" actions and a health bar, which sucked to begin with, and then they release a raid tier where the entire first area and boss fight are a mandatory vehicle section.
"But in raiding, it's about my skill with my class that I enjoy!" you say.
"Drive the Demolisher and learn to have fun, player," says the literal lawyer that runs the dev team (though to be fair, Ion wasn't lead at that time)
