I love the aughts fashion, the use of the word “victim,” and the fact that “finger-guns” gets a hyperlink in the last caption. The woman in the photo gives an Oscar-worthy performance in the final image — she looks like she’s on the verge of tears — and her male counterpart couldn’t look more smug. The pictures are endearing and capture a kind of humanity you don’t find in your average stock photo.

Okay I hate that this is how I am all the time now, but was this written by AI?

The post does definitely sound and smell very AI-ey.

It requires more technique than athleticism, but yeah. Sometimes you see it from players with a weak foot so bad they’d rather do something stupid like this with their strong foot than touch the ball with their weak foot, but mostly it’s used to show off.

Absolutely this. I wish I could say I thought higher of Bethesda than employing copyright trolls, but unfortunately I guess I’m not surprised.

This has also been an issue for me. I’d love a confirmation dialogue when exiting a comment/post window if you have typed something, like “Exit? Yes/No/Save Draft”. And of course mass deleting saved drafts would be good. I do it manually in batches but it’s quite bothersome.

I’m definitely here for the pictures mainly, so I wouldn’t mind.

I could literally not live without them anymore. It’s great even for browsing/desktop use with some extra common actions, and pretty much every single game plays smoother with a few thumb-bound hotkeys.

That’s actually beautiful, what the hell.

The STALKER games do this for me, STALKER Anomaly does as well (although you gotta mod that). The Metro games too, if you want something tighter and more cinematic.

Not just Day 1 patches but continued post-launch support too. And DLCs. Back in the times before the internet a game would release and that was it. The disc was the whole game and all it would ever be. We’re not there anymore.

Also, discs degrade really fast anyway, it’s not an amazing long term storage medium. I’d rather the GOG model of offline DRM free installers you can store on your own, in terms of game preservation, than forcing production of discs.

Crazy Game 1 by LGD against Yandex. Mid DK going Radiance first item (Topson things), Enigma going Octarine first and landing multiple 3-man Black Holes… Just absolutely stomped Yandex.

No, not in a long time. I just find it’s very nice to have, you can do actions without lifting your fingers off WASD. Or use the PC one handed in some cases and have a coffee.

I also switched to Logitech, to a G604 though. Six thumb buttons is perfect for me.

Ah ffs. Inget kommer förändras, kommer det?

Same, although more than just the scroll wheel broke. And I think I was on three in a row breaking within a year before I gave up. It’s a shame because feature-wise I like some of their stuff, but it’s just impossible to buy products with this level of QC.

I do feel nauseous when eating sugar too after weaning myself off it years ago, but I don’t mind it. It’s easier to just not eat sweets at all. That means I don’t have to think too much about counting calories either.

Ah, I had actually missed this. Time to figure out a categorization system, I guess. I too have 200+ wishlist items…

I haven’t played in over a year. McGinnis is still a menace, huh?

Sid Meier’s Pirates! was remade twice - once in '93 and once in '04. Probably the first title that springs to mind for me. I have unfortunately only played the 2004 version, although I know the older ones are considered all time classics. Maybe one day.

Love seeing Pari pulling out the 9Class Pudge in the time of need. Absolute cinema.
