Gee, maybe something happened in the 20 years since then that changed people’s opinions on endless wars in the Middle East.

Skyrim was at least an improvement over Oblivion. It showed they had the ability to recognize and fix the mistakes of Oblivion and still create an interesting world.

The problem is Starfield isn’t a one off. It’s the latest in a line of progressively worse games. Every game they’ve released since Skyrim has been worse than the one that came before it.

The government buys IT services from the same companies that everyone else does: Google, Microsoft and Amazon. They all offer special government offerings with stricter security.

I guarantee Trump is getting hacked because he and his team refuse to listen to IT and won’t let them turn on basic security features because they’re a slight inconvenience.

The problem with that argument is that 80% of people live in cities. There are not enough rural people for them to be a majority of the Republican party.

It helps that it’s the truth.

People remember the parody, which is usually modified to be more recognizable. Like Darth Vader never said “Luke, I am your father”; in the movie it’s actually “No, I am your father”.

This isn’t a new issue. Wolfram alpha has been around for 15 years and can easily handle high school level math problems.

Depends on the person’s eyes as well. I have a pretty bad astigmatism that makes dark mode god awful to read.

The same thing that is already happening in Turkey, India and Saudi Arabia? Musk’s Twitter has no problem censoring people when it’s to help right-wing authoritarians.

It’s an ownership issue.

Larian is privately owned by Swen Vincke. They can concentrate on making good games because they don’t answer to anyone but Swen.

Blizzard is publicly owned. It has to answer to greedy and short-sighted shareholders.

A surprising number of companies actually do sell powder versions of their drinks on the web. I buy both Arizona tea and A&W root beer packets online.

At least Gearbox isn’t spending a year+ denying that the problem exists.

Another thing to watch out for is single-sided vs double-sided. Many laptops have flush mounted m.2 slots that won’t fit an SSD with chips on both sides of the board.

Is he into extreme sounding?

It’s more that 2d projections of 3d objects are wonky and unintuitive.

Quit buying from giant corporations.

I can go to my local family owned Banh Mi joint and get a sandwich made with real meat and fresh bread for $6. For $12, I could add a boba tea and a side of fried dumplings.

I wouldn’t call most of the modern ones real RPGs either.

The original XCOM is the source of grid based inventories.

Star Control 2 is the first RPG that did the standard dialogue interface where you talk to someone and choose from multiple replies.
