Right… Splitgate and splitgate 2 are lies. What you experienced are probably mostly if not all bit matches instead of playing with and against other players. But that is besides the question.

Realistically there have been no actual good games in that niche in recent years (less than 10 years old) and the old ones are either dead unless you like botmatches or have a tiny community that is really REALLY good and will wipe the floor with you.

Anyhow Quake 3 (good luck) Tribes 2 (good luck) Unreal tournament 2004 (good luck obtaining legally, also good luck) Halo (LoL last decent one was reach on 360) There’s more but those are even more niche than the big ones already listed.

Almost like shitty and unsustainable business practices have consequences and those are starting to show now. Who would have thought…

Ads… Ads everywhere, constantly, forever. Soon in all white with black letters and nothing else. Containing messages like “consume” “obey” “sleep”

Now would you look at that… Still a good idea to keep going with stop killing games.

Yet… Ubisoft did go and “remove” the keys for the crew when they shut that one down. No one but them can really say if they actually deleted them or not. though I have my doubts with how that company has acted in recent years.

We should do that. But politicians that are out of office in a couple of years really don’t care because by then it won’t be their problem to solve. Solving actual problems is boring but the flashy project that was totally unnecessary will be remembered. For better or worse.

I know right? But that makes sense to do and most places have politicians that want their prestige projects where it suits them and those usually don’t make too much sense. Besides that good public transport solutions are boring. That huge parking space looks way more impressive from above…

Unfortunately the reality often is that it’s cheaper to buy more land and demolish buildings that get in the way than it is to build tall to solve for that. And that prestige project has to be cheap so that it can get out the door in this local politicians election cycle. Now if people could be held accountable for really bad choices they made a long time ago…

There are reasons for why that is possible, for better or worse.

To reverse malicious actions that may have been taken by other people that got access to the account for any reason for example.

There may even be legal reasons for why that is the case. Licensing law can be quite complicated.

And then there is the fact that if it’s hidden it’s effectively gone anyways and that may actually be what people actually care about. Not whether or not they technically still have that game or not. People wanting a clean library is a thing and it ties into the concept that is the right to be forgotten.

Man I remember that time… Mainly because it suddenly got real hard or expensive to get your hands on horse dewormer. I should add that I used that to ensure that my horse had no worms at the time. That kind of dumb actually had impact even outside the US and just goes to show just how much damage that dumb fuck actually caused.

That’s not impressive. 120 in a 30 or there about is. Yes someone did that around here. As for the how? High powered car and a lead foot mixed with a need for speed or a death wish.

I have some thoughts on that despite the fact that I don’t even watch the show.

For the first point: Load distribution to ensure that the system wears down more evenly is a thing that can be done. Yeah you may be able to automate it but there can be reasons why you may not want to do that, like added complexity that makes the system even more failure prone For the second point: It’s still a lot easier to maintain something than it is to fix it when it’s broken. Having eyes there to do that may just be a way to get someone to check for potential failure points before they become a problem. Even if they may be in other systems nearby that are unrelated. Having someone check those systems by hand also has a security aspect to it because it makes it less likely that someone can just tamper with that system. Yes you have dedicated security personnel but security is still everyone’s responsibility.

Also. Plot points and all that stuff that makes it fun to watch.

I can only speak for Deus ex: mankind divided since I have played that myself.

It is technically a sequel in the sense that there are other Deus ex games that came before it with the original Deus ex, invisible war and human revolution. That said every single one of those games has it’s own self contained story with only some overlap between them. Mankind divided features the same main character to play from the previous game but everything else is different. From the location to the characters barring one which isn’t an issue for reasons… And is also otherwise completely isolated from the first two games maybe with one Hommage that you might miss If you don’t know the first game but then it’s just a great character instead of the thing it’s supposed to be.

Long story short, IMHO you can just pick that one up and play it without worrying about missing a ton.

One of the better indie RPGs that got released in recent years. Featuring an “online” (CrossCode is Singleplayer) world with a story and other charactersto interact with (all of which with different personalities and even writing styles to not just make the world feel alive but also the other “players”. Platforming, some puzzles, nice and fun combat, RPG elements and some surprisingly novel ideas.

It really is worth the asking price.

What a calamity. Which is ironically how the capsule that is stuck got named. The jokes just write themselves.

What a scrub… Doesn’t even know all the phone numbers without a book telling him

I know all the phone numbers, I just don’t know which one belongs to who.

I mainly wonder how they are going to solve a broken microswitch with a software update…

Never stopped using cash. It works, is less trackable and most importantly is accepted for exchange of goods even outside of your typical store front. Say when buying hay or straw for horses and paying then and there.

Suppose you did that workout anyways, then… You did that workout and did something to stay fit. That said it may be a workout designed to help you with achieving a certain look. So unless you are keen on looking like that it may be better to not do that workout a ton. The reason why it’s named like that may be exactly because it will help you to get that look or to motivate certain people to do that.

Simple… Guy who really likes to talk about Linux. I can do that for the whole flight as well.
