Dammit, I was looking forward to SoT seeing as it plays pretty janky now compared to modern standards and I was hoping they’d fix up the combat a bit. That said, I only have the Xbox version to go off of. Is the PC version any good? Maybe someone will do a Black Mesa on it.
Tell that to Michel Lotito who, allegedly, ate an entire Cessna 150.
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Didn’t Abort just cancel trying to read that sector, while Fail would cancel the entire operation?
Nope, I looked it up. Abort would completely abort the whole thing, while Fail was supposed to return an error code to the program so that it could decide what to do next. Like Ignore but less crashy.
They taste that way on purpose to stop little kids from putting them in their mouths and potentially choking.
Remember how sometimes you’d put the disk in and you could hear the floppy part spinning for a fraction of a second to line up with, I guess the motor head, before it fully clunked in? That shit was peak.
Synology walked back their requirement of using their own branded drives.
First I’ve heard of this but you’re right.
It’s really interesting how far I had to scroll down the search results to find it, as the top page or so of hits are from April when they added the restriction in the first place.
Vivaldi is Chromium based, that’s like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
There are plenty of Firefox forks that will be actively removing the AI crap. Waterfox, Pale Moon, Librewolf, Zen, Floorp to name a few. And these will all continue to support Manifest v2 and therefore adblockers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Web_browsers_based_on_Firefox
I’m kinda sad that I probably* won’t get to see how this story ends. Do we make it as a species? Do we end up in the Star Trek utopia, or do we wipe ourselves out with our own hubris? But I’m not sad of afraid of dying itself. My legacy will be doing right by my kids and hopefully setting them up to live better lives than I did, and I’m OK with that.
*If I do live long enough to see us wipe ourselves out that will be pretty shit, ngl.
Does this mean that people will finally stop posting that stupid “sir, this is a Wendy’s” line?
Recently finished another playthrough of Half-Life 2, and now I’m back on Hades (not 2, waiting for that to go on sale). I’ve just had the first successful run but I’ve got a long way to go before I’m up to the same point I was at on the Xbox.
Controversial as in it ruined an otherwise great show? Dexter.
It’s more like £150/year, but it’s charged every 3 years. Still very expensive compared to .com for sure!
This looks really good and I’m enthused with how responsive you’re being, will definitely give it a try.
It is a bit of a shame you didn’t call it Jott as jo.tt is available as a domain, but then the tt TLD is pretty expensive so maybe not!
Just a shame the sublime platforming had to be continuously interrupted by repetitive fights! Still, I want to play it again now.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. A game of pure charm.
I used to habitually replay it every Christmas until one year it just felt too janky. They were supposed to be remaking it but the expected release date came and went without a word and now it’s just vaporware.
It’s niche but I like to point it out whenever I get the opportunity: if your workplace uses Bitwarden Enterprise, every licensed user gets a free family plan that can be linked to any account. I haven’t personally paid for BW for years.
Yes! Best news all day, let’s go!
Bit late with a reply but I bought one with this use case in mind, thinking it could be a cost effective family PC, but immediately fell foul of the lack of proper user switching. You can sign in to different Steam profiles but on the desktop everything runs under a single predefined user with admin rights. Fine for a single person but no good for a family needing multiple distinct user profiles and access controls.
I’ve installed Windows as a dual boot setup but it makes the whole thing much more of a faff, so it doesn’t get used. It’s back to being exclusively a handheld gaming machine.
Exactly this. We used to run Mattermost (essentially Slack but hosted on-prem) and Zoom, and everybody loved the combination. Then the bean counters got involved, saw that we were paying extra for something that was already included with our 365 subscription, and that was that.
Now we’re stuck with shitty Teams and its shitty Electron app that seems to come up with new ways to not work on a near daily basis. So much so that “Teams be Teamsing” has become a defacto phrase for when something janky happens.
