Are you just reading what you want to read?

19 laps in the sprint! Can't wait.

It's funny how Dutch doesn't shy away from loaning French words, despite the difference. Examples are chauffeur, etalage, cadeau, auto and medaille.

I don't agree that aardappel is hard to pronounce in general if you're an English speaker though. Check it out: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/aardappel

Pretty sure all the content you're reading and watching is what's in there. Do you watch a lot of videos?

I'm enjoying NecroMerger. It has optional ads (no forced short ads either) and the micro transactions are either some general buffs, ad-free version or gems. The gems are dished out royally imo, where I've purchased most of the premium currency content by just playing.

Something you can't play right now but can sign up to play for later: WalkScape. It's an RPG game in a similar style to RuneScape, but you actually have to walk to craft, skill and walk around the map.

The team has often said that they are against microtransactions and other monetization schemes that currently plague the industry, so they have plans to release a freemium version and a paid version.

You got a top of the line machine coming out and it still uses dynamic resolution for a 2021 game? How much of a scam is this device, lol.

I ain't shitting on PSSR though, I think that's neat.

Yup, pommes de terre. In Dutch is "aardappel", which is more literally earthapple. But I will add, the apple part isn't referring to the fruit, but means more like "a spherical object".

Also the French used aardappel to create the word pomme de terre for it in 1716, as they couldn't pronounce the Dutch word.

You shouldn't have to work for a roof over your head and mental health support.

Now this is the niche content that makes Lemmy great. I've never really dabbled in multiplayer a lot as even though I have hundreds of hours, I never actually finished the whole thing, opting to start over every time I picked it back up.

Just wanted to thank you for your post, it was fun to read

They have to use this language to stay out of legal trouble. Saying things you know aren't true is indeed lying, but you have to prove that they know it's a lie.

Intention to deceive is the key part, and hard to prove. So journalists play it on the safe side and just keep to the facts: they repeated false claims / statements.

The second game is the ultimate version that Rogue Legacy 1 should have been, and I say this with a lot of love and hours into the first game. It takes everything from 1 and turns it up the maximum and then some.

No, it's not real. The original source is a satirical news site. Sorry friends.

I started a free trial and cancelled it immediately to have no ads while on holiday. Didn't realize they are offering some illusion of achievements as a "reward" for your attention, doubling as a FOMO weapon for when you want to quit.
