What I hadn't anticipated in my 20 years away from Linux was not only had teams of unpaid volunteers been beavering away behind the scenes to make everything work better, other much more enthusiastic teams have been thinking up new and exciting ways to break it again.
You can blame me. Sprite Zero is about the only sugar free drink that doesn't taste like shit, and everything else took the sugar out and so Coke is the only one left for when I want a sugar hit. Yeah, it fucks your teeth up and makes you fat. My body my choice.
Honestly struggling to find decent alternatives in the UK that don't fall into the artisanal pricing category. Go past a quid a can and I might as well drink cider instead.
Ironically that probably brings in some of the most expensive games ever made, like Red Dead Redemption 2, The Last of Us Part 2 and Cyberpunk 2077. If Star Citizen ever gets finished, count that too.
RDR2 especially is an unapologetically slow paced cowboy sim, rather than the Grand Theft Horse everyone seemed to be expecting. Big games by big studios, left alone to do what their bosses know they can do.
Just think, if we'd gone full Starship Troopers with our fascism, we'd have mixed sex toilets and not have to worry if Debbie still had a todger or not.
You know you're on the right track when you click something, and suddenly the Fisher-Price interface goes away and it opens a dialog box that hasn't changed since Windows 2000.
I guess we can just have games we like and games we don't, and not have to classify them either way... The line is way too blurry. It's a feel rather than a metric.
I wouldn't for a second describe BG3 as anything other than AAA. But something like It Takes Two has a very indie game feel even though it's put out by EA.
I started seeing it differently the second I realised she was Robert Maxwell's daughter.
That guy was dodgy as fuck and so is she. She could well be the one that ordered Epstein be Epsteined.
