At least you can see the post (or so I am guessing). I honestly thought it would be shadowbanned/blocked.

I don’t think people at that level have friends, more like business aquintences. And all they do is work; feed their net worth value must increase addiction.

I think this is due to the broader “move towards AI”, gaming was big around COVID, now it’s in a massive decline, at least in terms of employment and investment opportunities, if not actual revenues.

Microsoft is a criminal organisation that thrives on corruption (no real action being taken with respect to anti trust proceedings is still relevant today).

Crime isn’t only about someone stealing your phone, extracting many billion of dollars via oligopolistic methods of limiting competition and leaving people with no other option than to use their products (irrespective of price or feature considerations) is also criminal activity.

They are not going to fight the US administratorion on this.

Cool art, but yeah this is spam.

“Boomer shooter” refers to old school FPS/shooters in the sense of boomer = old? Never knew that.

I always thought it was because of the more fast paced styles of the older games and emphasis on explosive weapons.

Most people who played Doom / Unreal / Hexen when the games were released were early millenials or tail end “Gen X”. From memory, FPS games weren’t really that popular among people in their 30s and early 40s in the 90s. It was all young kids, teenagers and (I am assuming) university students.

Office applications (Excel, Powerpoint, PowerBI, Word) is one area where I can’t have any friction at all, since that’s how I get my income. I need the latest version of these applications for desktop, web version does not cut it and Linux emulation seems very spotty unless you are OK with using a much older version of office like 2013/2016.

That just on the Microsoft side, there is also Tableau desktop, some Adobe applications and even open source Windows applications that I rely on that don’t have native Linux versions (Notepad++, Paint.net).

I am planning to buy a new laptop, might be worth trying to switch to Linux on the laptop and experiment with emulated Office solutions (while always having a reliable fallback on desktop).

I wish the EU would require Microsoft to release the latest desktop (no cloud subscription required) version of Office for Linux (and broad, open ended criminal liability if they try any tricks).

I cannot switch without a native, official supported version of Office.

Have yet to play the remake. Played the original on PC in 99 or so. It was a very novel experience at that time (I had mostly played cRPGs, RTSs, city-builder/tycoons etc.). A lot of the puzzles were challenging for young brain though.

Anyone tried this? How does it compare to some of the more elaborate megaWADs?

You can continue getting updates for Window 10 for free and they don’t really add new software to Windows.

Microsoft Office and lots of line of business apps (e.g. I prefer Tableau desktop over the web version) require Windows. Many game (not only multiplayer ones) continue to have issues with Linux (although there have been massive improvements in the last ~5 years).

Classic!

That’s why you don’t use ML.

Ha! :)

An arguement can be made that gacha disqualifies it from being an RPG.

Not saying one must agree or disagree, just outlining the logical thinking on this.

To be honest, I’ve never heard CRPGs refer to anything other than computer RPGs. Usually gatcha games are referred to as such even by players who play them.

But I’ve made some edits for clarity. Cheers!

I think it should be less than $30 in my region (we get very good discounts).

I will just wait for a nice discount.

Never heard about a zombie version of RDR.

Checked out the Wikipedia page and they even have a PC version.

Went to steam and found out that the game costs $50! That’s really too bad, but I will be on the lookout if it gets discounted.

This is an adventure sim video game.

I don’t have any issues when loading the page on Firefox Mobile with UBO. It looks fine, no popups or scam style hijacks.

Does Genshin allow you to play as Winnie the Pooh (doesn’t have to be the US version, the Fyodor Khitruk version looks cool too)?
