I don’t think you’ll regret it. The story is incredibly rich and outcomes depend a lot on your choices and playstyles. It never feels like you’re grinding for levels to me. There’s the occasional bug, but no more than other games I’ve played. I think it’s probably the first genre defining game we’ve seen in about a 15 years.
It’s a good game now. I waited over 2 years to buy it and think it’s the best single player shooter I’ve played since Bioshock/HL2. Have completed it 5 times now using different builds and am thinking about getting the expansion if it goes on sale at xmas.
It’s really not and you’ve missed their point. Tbqh it’s more about you than about them.
Ditto. Windows is now impossible to decrapify. Have dipped my toe in Linux gaming about a half dozen times starting in 2004 but it never felt ready til now. Proton, nvidia drivers and distros like Nobara making it not just possible but a better experience.
IRC, bulletin boards that had links to each other…. The old net was decentralised by default.
Nice to see someone else was around when the lore was written :D
In NZ instead of AOL it was xtra and Paradise.
Wholeheartedly agree. Not too many more though I hope. Once a platform reaches a certain point all the general public arrives and everything goes to shit. You have to keep your corner of the internet nerdyish to avoid this. Been true since the early 2000s for forums and then social media.

Confirming, I have 200TB in home lab and know plenty of others with around this amount:
Depends on what the data was for criticality, not the amount of data. Many orgs, even in smaller countries, have petabytes of data now.
North Atlantic accent I think it’s called. Have a read of the wiki. Kinda interesting.
Depends on how fast I’m talking but, yup. South islanders do it more than north ime.
I know when I pronounce it, it’s different on the a/e - NZ English.
What I’m saying is I don’t notice that. Most of the people I see getting honours are regular folks. There’s a few toffs in there and the rest are people who genuinely did something, and they come from all walks.
Many sportspeople are knighted (Dameified?). Service to community for regular folks also gets honours for those who stand out. At least in the wider commonwealth this has been true for all my life and my parents too. Look up Sir Clive Lloyd, Sir Bobby Robson, etc. There’s a lot of orders of knights who are appointed solely at the discretion of the monarch in there but those specific orders are usually related to the functional aspects of the monarchy. I’m thinking specifically of the orders of the Garter and Thistle here. Generally, at least in Elizabeth’s reign the majority of honours I’ve seen have been for service to the community, arts, sports etc. and the person has genuinely been involved.
Agree on the lordships though
Most have KERS. This is what it is. My brake lights go on when it hits a certain % of KERS full effect.
It’s like that everywhere. The US is not an outlier. You need quality education systems in place as well or you can’t educate your future medical professionals. This is how democracy dies. Undereducated sickly populace will vote for whoever comes off the top rope with the funniest/angriest shit. We were sunk as soon as education funding cuts began worldwide. Early 90s in my country, probably similar elsewhere.
They have a somewhat similar facial structure, I think. Especially in the eyes, nose and mouth. Cheekbones a bit different but still similar.
You can go back to Counterstrike for that. Was a free mod for half life, then one day you needed Steam to play it. It’s how Steam was released and part of why there was such massive uptake early. Biggest game in the world at the time.
Yeah, a lot of people acting like this is some well known thing… I’ve been using the internet since the early 90s and I’ve never heard of this comic, let alone this specific strip so it must be some 4chan shit or other oldschool board.
