I played the first STALKER at uni as well and loved it. Along with Red Orchestra that a mate was a play tester for.

All games paled in comparison to how much time I sunk into WoW between 2006 and 2011 though.

I think the real concern should be that they'll make it really easy to get on board with, until almost nobody is creating accounts directly with federated instances. Once they have enough penetration, they'll defederate and force people to choose; them or the Fediverse.

Fair point, but I'd argue calling it a classic is a bit of a stretch.

Greatest Country on Earth*

some exclusions apply

The game's publisher, 3D Realms, is known for its impactful history in video games and its 90s classics like Duke Nukem Forever...

Excuse me while I try and process that 3D Realms apparently exist in an alternate reality.

The radio in Silent Hill was genius. Rather than making the game easier, it amped up the tension when that static started up. Especially in the dingy locales that made up the majority of the game.

Such is the abject failure of most voting systems in use that if you vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning, you're effectively making it easier for one of the two big candidates to win.

It's the same in the UK and I hate it.

I remember just being absolutely stumped by Riven when I was 13. It was pretty to look at, but I had no clue about how to solve the puzzles. When I did finally make progress, the sequence would start again.

I'd probably get bored and go play something different these days.

+1 for ITAD. I've used it for years and it's great.

It sucks that 4 other people were killed by the CEOs own hubris. But at least they don't appear to have suffocated to death. At that depth, it would have been instantaneous.

Must be really depressing when a crooked Supreme Court Justice story comes out, and there's more than one possibility for who is referring to.

My condolences to America tbh.

But even if these consequences don’t come to pass, this information still paints Musk’s attitude towards public health and how he views his responsibility to his customers as far from golden.

Why am I not surprised in the least?

It's Dark Brandon time bitches

I watched it for about 10 minutes and haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

I would rather not have Zuckerberg controlling more social platforms, but at the same time I really want Musk to crash and burn.

There's so many different fixes. In the end I tried them all, but I think the tipping point for me was disabling all in-game overlays like Shadow play, Steam, Ubisoft Connect. In fact for Steam and the EA app, I closed them completely. I've played for about a week with no crashes so far.

3 is my favourite game in the series. I absolutely hated how it started when I first played through, but once it got going and I got the hang of some of the mechanics, it just clicked. The story is great, the bosses are interesting, the setting is cool. It just hits all the right notes.

"And then things got worse."

I'm the same. Relay is so slick and I'm gutted about what is happening. Even if the dev manages to keep Relay going, I don't want to support a company like Reddit who seem happy to shit all over their userbase in pursuit of profit.

I love DRG. It's such a simple premise, and it's just so much fun. Doesn't take itself too seriously and the devs seem like a cracking bunch of lads.

I've been playing The Division 2 and I'm really enjoying it. I stopped playing for a few years, and now I've managed to stop the game crashing every 5 minutes, it's really good fun.
