Yes but this time, it has quick load too!

Exactly - I find the comments in this thread very confusing. A free and impartial press is one of the cornerstones of democracy.

I now understand a lot better why there is such a distrust in journalism in the US.

Ah the eternal arms race between parents and children. For me it was lights out so I couldn’t read, circumvented with a flashlight under the blanket.

My 80+ year old parents don’t care about ads or AI. They just want a working PC, and W11 won’t install on the cheap machine they got a few years ago. They’re not going to buy a new one because this works perfectly fine.

And yes they tried Linux for several years, but went back to Windows because it was just too much hassle and not compatible with too many things.

It absolutely is a hardware problem.

Gen X: don’t quote the ancient piracy to me, Millennial. I was there for BBS and Napster.

Press and hold the Windows key, then tap the R. Let go of the windows key. Type cmd enter. Type format C:\ enter.

Sadly they “fixed” this.

Horses are relentless.

I suggest you play the first, then decide whether you want more.

Is it password1?

I refuse to think of 2000 as anything but the future where will all have flying cars.

That comma in the title made me think they blame Iran for Trump.

This man walks so others can ride.

I’m still enjoying Mass Effect Andromeda. The combat is a bit too action-oriented - I miss the tactics and strategy of other RPGs. But it’s not so bad that it detracts from the game’s enjoyment.

I’ve also (re)started Baldur’s Gate 1 (enhanced edition). I’m not far in yet but I can already tell it’s going to be hard picking only 5 companions. They’re all so interesting.

I hear taking candy from them is easy too. I’m too scared to try though.

Personally I’d rather buy the slaves. And set them free of course. Yes, of course.

Our code base is filled with “//constructor”, “//destructor”, “//assignment”, or the ever enlightening “Foo GetFoo(); // GetFoo”.

This is not what they mean by self-documenting code.

It may work for a subset of the Dragon Age fans, but the old school DA:O CRPG fans are left to look elsewhere.

I miss Windows phone, still the most intuitive phone UI I’ve ever seen.

There’s an old but IMO still very relevant white paper by Microsoft titled “So Long, And No Thanks for the Externalities: The Rational Rejection of Security Advice by Users”. It argues that security measures often cost more in employee time (and hence wages) than the potential benefit. It’s an interesting read and I think about it whenever our chief of security cooked up with another asinine security measure.

You got a lot of great recommendations already, but I want to add one more indie game: Lost Words Beyond the Page. Gameplay is simple and it’s not very long, but the writing is excellent.
