I don’t think you’ll regret it. The story is incredibly rich and outcomes depend a lot on your choices and playstyles. It never feels like you’re grinding for levels to me. There’s the occasional bug, but no more than other games I’ve played. I think it’s probably the first genre defining game we’ve seen in about a 15 years.

It’s a while ago but you missed one of their earlier genocides, that is still ongoing, in Tibet.

It’s a good game now. I waited over 2 years to buy it and think it’s the best single player shooter I’ve played since Bioshock/HL2. Have completed it 5 times now using different builds and am thinking about getting the expansion if it goes on sale at xmas.

It’s really not and you’ve missed their point. Tbqh it’s more about you than about them.

Ditto. Windows is now impossible to decrapify. Have dipped my toe in Linux gaming about a half dozen times starting in 2004 but it never felt ready til now. Proton, nvidia drivers and distros like Nobara making it not just possible but a better experience.

High quality meme. First one I’ve upvoted in 5 years. For me it was when the chili peppers and pearl jam started getting played.

IRC, bulletin boards that had links to each other…. The old net was decentralised by default.

Nice to see someone else was around when the lore was written :D

In NZ instead of AOL it was xtra and Paradise.

Yup.

It’s a sarcastic take on common advice. It’s implied by the inanity of the suggestion. Most people got it, wasn’t something you saw. You’ll get it next time :).

Wholeheartedly agree. Not too many more though I hope. Once a platform reaches a certain point all the general public arrives and everything goes to shit. You have to keep your corner of the internet nerdyish to avoid this. Been true since the early 2000s for forums and then social media.

Confirming, I have 200TB in home lab and know plenty of others with around this amount:

Depends on what the data was for criticality, not the amount of data. Many orgs, even in smaller countries, have petabytes of data now.

Will have to give that a go. Edit: doesn’t work so well as tweezers on a lightning port but relatively effective on USB-C.

This. Get super fine tweezers and clean the port. Almost always full of pocket lint.

A voting system would make it more likely a programme like that will be abused by bullies to further alienate their victims and place them in the ‘bully’ school.

North Atlantic accent I think it’s called. Have a read of the wiki. Kinda interesting.

Depends on how fast I’m talking but, yup. South islanders do it more than north ime.

I know when I pronounce it, it’s different on the a/e - NZ English.

If you’re wealthy it’s the best place to live. If you’re not it sucks. Source, someone who’s travelled a bit, including the States, and has a reasonable amount to compare it to.
