Why does it need to reach 1 million names exactly? This is a petition, right?

Will people in Russia even be aware that they lost?

I’m all for saving Ukraine but why does he think that will change anything in Russia?

I don’t think it’s a big deal where you start. The latest iteration of Riven will likely be the most accessible and that’s probably what matters most if you’re just starting out.

Much of the appeal (for me at least) is that the storyline is a Tolkien-like epic story spanning thousands of years. Myst takes place before Riven, and if you wanted to consume it in chronological order you would start by reading the books (which are surprisingly good). But it’s fine to go back and “fill in the blanks” if you play in a different order. It’s like reading The Hobbit after you read The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Also note that Riven and Riven 2024 are the same story so there’s no need to play both of them. Same with Myst, just pick the most modern iteration of it. The versions that allow you to move and look around freely take away a lot of frustration with trying to make out what the world looks like and finding clues.

You say that as if it was easy, and as if it doesn’t come back again a few Windows updates down the road.

But because it’s all opinion, it gives me nothing except “some guy on the the internet has an opinion”. I can’t do anything with it, especially not form an opinion of my own. It’s just a waste of my time. Mind you, I already am of the opinion that Tesla is going to shit but I found very little in this article to substantiate that opinion should I need to argue for it myself, and the headline is just a plain out lie that that has no basis in the body text. It’s poorly written at best, and intentionally misleading at worst.

Zuckerman vs Zuckerberg. Who will win, the man… or the berg? Either way, they’re both Zuckers.

25 days off per year is minimum by law in my country. I have 36. Would never be able to afford traveling for 36 days (plus weekends) every year though.

I was lost when he built that Nether portal at 2:45

Am I the only one who doesn’t think vacation equals travel? It just means you don’t have to go to work.

This is the only way I ever publicly share any information about my travels. Don’t want to advertise that there’s nobody home.

In a corporate setting there usually isn’t

I have lost all interest in playing any future Bethesda games because of their engine. It was pretty crap (but acceptable) back in 2011. Now it feels like a scam to pay for their games. Like one of those “GameStation 5” you can buy on Wish.

Yes, the US is a third world country

Sounds like your phone is running out of memory so the OS kills Boost. It’s still Boost’s responsibility to save its state when it is shut down by Android and restore it when you go back, so I guess it doesn’t do that properly. But the problem won’t be as noticeable on a high spec phone.

Only Viktor Orbán left to appease. Nato has a real nice gang of crooks among its cohorts. I’m kinda surprised they don’t just join ranks with Putin instead.

Well why the hell not, everybody else is bombing and shooting. It’s the latest trend.

Sony literally pulled the game from the PlayStation Store because of the low quality. At that point it’s not just a subjective opinion but fact, so I resent the claim that I’m bending the truth.

Yes, the issue was with last gen consoles. I don’t think that matters to the point I am making, nor that it worked for you personally on your setup. It worked okay for me too, but I was on a high-end PC.

I think renting should be renting, and purchasing should be purchasing. I’m okay with renting and what that entails (e.g. they might remove the service in the future and I won’t ever own the game). I’m also fine with buying games, and for some games that have a lot of sentimental value or replayability I do want to own them.

What I’m not okay with is the current state of affairs, where they make it seem as if you buy the game and you pay full price, but legally it’s only “licensed” to you and the license can be revoked at any time. It’s all the disadvantages you describe with renting, but with the price of buying. So that’s what I had in mind with my comment: I’d be content instead of angry if they offered a rental service with honest terms of service and a fair price, instead of the bullshit they’re pulling right now.

If there was a proper rental service I would likely rent a lot of games that I wanted to try out. Then I would go to GOG to buy DRM-free versions of the games I want to keep for a long time. Games like Civ5, RimWorld and Cyberpunk 2077. I think I wouldn’t need to rent a game for three years to figure out that I want to buy it, more like a month.
