I keep wondering how I’m going to tell my boss when this happens because I’m not going to be able to come into work for the day and I hope he’s not going to belittle me for feeling this way about my pet. Because he’s not just an animal but my family.

I have a hard time trying to determine whether I like 3 or 5 more, myself. 3 was my first FC game I ever played and I fell in love with it. So much innovation at the time and a really good story to complement.

5 is similar in a lot of ways. A lot of new stuff was added, like actual helicopters and now planes, which added air warfare to the game in even more fun ways. Plus the companions. So many to choose from and such fun characters to have alongside you, including animal companions, which was really awesome. A fucking bear and cougar following alongside you was so badass. The story was great too. Something that was a bit different than a warlord but still a psychotic maniac. Probably also helped that the setting was closer to home for many of us and some of us find that more fun.

The map was also great. Very large and a lot of things to do. I loved how it separated it between 4 maniacs and not just one too. 3 bosses to fight and then the main villain.

Thanks for the correction. I was reading the poster on Steam incorrectly, it seems.

So all the stuff on the left is in the base purchase but all the stuff on the right is the extras in the deluxe

Yep, they did…it’s pretty shitty.

Though it’s only $10 upgrade, whether you choose now or later. But still, for a 19 year old game, come on man.

Apparently I was reading this wrong.

Here’s the poster from Steam

It’d be nice but would hurt indies because indies thrive due to not needing a physical port, and only releasing one once they are popular and successful enough to afford it.

I guess you could include some verbiage that would target AAA studios, but they’ll find a way around it like they do everything else.

And at this point, I’m not really fond of most AAA titles anyway so this won’t do much for people like myself to care anymore. Physical releases are something I care about less since other issues have arisen over the years, specifically in the quality of the game, itself.

I am blown away by KDEnLive and how quickly I’ve been able to pick it up to learn it.

It’s as simple as the classic Windows Movie Maker but also just as capable as iMovie or what little I did in FinalCutPro on a Mac.

One feature I love on this is that I was editing a video on my Windows gaming PC and have the files all on the cloud. I then loaded that same project on my Linux laptop and it gave me an error that it didn’t have the media… however…it would parse a folder FOR ME and then add that media back into the project. In minutes I had the complete video timeline just as it was on my Windows machine now on my Linux laptop.

It’s also just so basic and easy to use. It’s a bit refreshing and not intimidating to use. Granted, I am someone who’s somewhat familiar with video editing from other applications, but not a pro by any means.

Or a burrito. Talking about the abomination that is the “California burrito” 🤮

Rainbow Six Patriots.

Instead we got another MMO game…yay…….

I don’t do food deliveries anymore but when I did, almost always did the food come in a paper bag that had a sticker over it which would let you know if someone tampered with it after the food was prepared, i.e. the driver. The drinks also came with a sticker over the top of it to cover both the lid and the insert for the straw so you’d know if someone removed it.

I’ve gotten them recently when doing curbside pickups at places like McDonald’s too.

I think streamers would know their food was tampered with. Unless someone was extremely careful, but that’s difficult when dealing with the paper bags and stickers.

I have no idea how I missed that in the title because that’s the only thing I was wondering about lol But just changed it

It’s ironic considering their early days in gaming. They were targeted by Universal over a BS lawsuit for using “Kong” in Donkey Kong and him being a gorilla like King Kong.

Now they’re pulling the same crap on smaller people/businesses and also working with the very company who did the lawsuit to bring their games to the movies.

This was my comment. My dad and I felt that same way but my grandmother just couldn’t understand how we could.

If I never needed to eat, that’d be wonderful. No more getting fat ever again and I’d probably be 100 times healthier.

Someone corrected me the other day on here that it’s not all games that are doing that but only some will be a game key and others will be the full game. I’m assuming that all first party titles will be the game key since this is largely about piracy and not allowing people to easily dump the game from the cartridge like people did for the Switch.

Wait so there will be two different types of cartridges? Some that do hold game data and others that don’t and are just the digital key?

I was under the impression this would be all cartridges for the Switch 2.

They made a change that the cartridges no longer hold the game data but will require a download of the game and the cartridge is just a key for the digital game.

That will stop game dumping from the cartridge. But with a jailbroken console, we can still get the game that way.

I’ve been really liking the art style of the Common Side Effects tv show. It’s like anime but very western in feel with just the right amount of CGI, where it’s not too much but used in the right angles.

When I sleep at my mom’s house, there’s a smart lamp my brother put in the spare room that has 1 USB port on it and a wireless charging pad. I opt to use the wireless charging pad at night for my phone and the USB for my watch. Makes it so I can charge two devices simultaneously without having to switch out USBs.

in a car, having wireless charging pad is nice for the convenience of taking it with you and putting it on very quickly and easily, especially if you’re actively driving and just want to do it with the least amount of distractions. Even with USB type C being reversible, you still need to make sure the cable gets in the hole and that’s dangerous to do while driving. But with a wireless pad, you don’t have to look and the magnet helps guide it on correctly for you. You still shouldn’t do this while driving, but out of the two, a vastly safer alternative. Besides that, it’s nicer to be able to just grab your phone and go when leaving the car and also easier when entering. Another addition is that a wireless charging pad takes the place of two accessories and combines them together. So you now have a mount and a charger in one instead of both being separate.

Hygienically speaking, it’s cleaner in that you don’t have to touch the charger. Best for public use like a coffee cafe. People are gross and I try my hardest not to have touch contact with stuff if I can help it. So to be able to drop my phone down without touching a cable a million other people have been touching helps with that too.

Even though I like it…I still want a port. A lot of cases don’t allow you to make direct contact to have wireless charging, so it’s not always an option. Also don’t always want to have my phone laying down, sometimes I want to use it while it’s charging, especially when typing, and that’s near impossible with 90% of charging pads unless it’s a special type of MagSafe for iPhones. Then there’s also the fact that I like it as an option in case something breaks. If the port is dirty or damaged, I still have the wireless charging option. Same in reverse if the wireless function ceases to work for some reason.

I never thought of that last part but I like it lol. I have a lot of international people who do this most and it would be perfect. Though some of them seem to wake up while I’m on, so this might backfire on me one day.

I currently just ignore these messages. Some never take the hint and keep trying.

I always thought the abomination that is SaaS came from Adobe
