EU is usually very pro consumer but not long ago there were (and there still are) some shit takes on piracy and stuff.

I don't think they'll ban VPNs though. It's not pro consumer and it's anti-privacy which EU is also very strong on.

Both. Sim card for my country's provider. eSim when I'm abroad for cheaper rates.

I think that's valid, but you have to take into account that mostly everyone isn't as efficient on the phone as what you've described.

I get what you mean. Overall, if it's not urgent I'd rather not make/receive calls.

I wouldn't say we're afraid. I don't particularly like speaking on the phone though, but it's alright, I even worked call center for a while so it doesn't bother me much these days.

Anyways, essentially texting is just more efficient. I can't speak for everyone else, but for instance at work, I hate it when I have a question or need assistance on a specific topic, ask on my team chat and have a couple of people saying "quick call?".

If it's something really complex, fine... that's fair. Other than that? It's just so inefficient. I can be working on something else and just reply during my off time between tasks, same with whoever I ask help from. Also, most of the time I'm listening to music, or I have my TV with ambience sound on the background. So then I have to turn everything off just so I can go for a 5minute call for something that could be done over chat on the same amount of time.

Sorry this comment turned out way longer than I thought it would.

That took me a while to understand haha

Great redemption but they did close the servers so I kinda feel like that's a whole new game hahaha

Also, FFXIV has been great for a long time now I think... NMS had more incremental updates with improvements for longer I guess. Maybe that's why that's the first thing on my mind when I think of any game redeemimg themselves.

Nevertheless still an amazing improvement on FFXIV.

Impressive, but imo still not as good as No man's Sky redemption.

Hum sadly on my client that option isn't there. I can only block communities or users. Can't block whole instances. :(

Might consider changing client :)

I use it on steam, for this exact purpose. So it shows in using it. The more people are using it, the more people get aware of it.

If all these people downloaded it directly and not from steam, this post wouldn't exist :)

Auto updates is interesting, didn't even consider it, but it can be both a pro and a con I guess...

You can block specific instances on an account level? Tell me more please.

Yeah I must say vulkan would've been sweet. But apple is big enough to mane metal work I guess... Time will tell, but I've never been closing to jumping aboard the apple train. Even though it kinda feels weird to me just thinking about it haha
