“Bro culture”, being surrounded by people you grew up or started your company with, plus different times 28 years back.
How many older people do you know who still use terms that are now deemed outdated or even racist? I bet quite a few. This is also true for gaming culture, a lot of stuff that was “normal” 20 or 30…

wait, what? I remember backing this on KS, or so I thought (I have the special edition sitting here). I know that some people I know ordered and received it after the initial push. Weird.

well, depending on where you live here, having a car is still pretty essential to get anywhere. Where I lived for over 10 years, there was one bus per day going away to the next town and one coming back - that was it.
Plus, when I was in my “party years”, getting anywhere worthwile meant getting into a car, because…

“long” - the game came out in 2018 iirc, at least that’s when the standard edition was being sold on the open market after the kickstarter.
But yes, you are right, it is sadly oop.

The prices seem ok-ish. I started out with a VW T4 Caravelle, had to weld a lot of new panels in because of rust, repair a lot of stuff.
Insulated the whole thing with Armaflex, built a fold out bed that’s a sofa with storage underneath, 60l compressor fridge/freezer, used Recaro seats driver and passenger (heated and…

ouch. I was under the impression that that was a minimum requirement in most “western” countries. It should be, it really should.
Taking a written test only? No practical exam, no mandatory training hours behind the wheel?
In Germany, you have to have about 20 hours minimum in training, in different conditions (night,…

eh, say what? Isn’t it worldwide law that as a first responder you cannot be sued for any damage the person incurs, if you act to the best of your knowledge?
Let’s ignore for a second that you can’t get a drivers license anyway without attending a certified first responder course, but I know of case where people broke…

There is a chance that it is not their fault.
Bethesda had to do the same with the original Morroblivion release, which basically just converted Morrowind assets to use them in Oblivion.
A lot of these assets (sounds, textures, 3d objects) are only licensed by the game creators for one single game. If you use mods to…

Their operating cost will probably exceed 1 million dollars / day.

What I see from the comments here is absolute ignorance about numbers, costs and everything else.
Steam has huge datacenters, and is delivering petabytes of data around the globe continuously. There are thousands of people installing and re-installing…

Gothic 3 had - back in the day when everyone here had really, really slow internet, a huge day1 patch, and without that a lot of people couldn’t even install the game.

Funny thing: Same for the CD release of Half-Life from Sierra: Without a patched installer, the old one is not capable of installing the game on modern…

I read the title as “Justice League investigating Overwatch Department” and that somehow made sense in a strange way... would be an interesting crossover for sure.

The other way round, actually. Most Americans I dealt with, especially those who I worked with for years, would not take anything ELSE but “fine” as a tolerable answer to the “how are you?” greeting phrase they were always using. It was like a ritual “how are you?” - only valid answer in their mind: “fine, how are…

Not on a trip to a foreign country though - I am speaking about interactions through work, hobby and personal contacts over a span of now 20+ years. So I met a lot of people from the USA in person and online, some when they visited here, some abroad. Yes, there were differences in beheviour depending on where they…

I don’t care how the workplace of someone doint software development looks as long as the code output they produce is clean, legible and useable for the rest of the team.
Likewise the cleanliness of a car shop doesn’t have anything to say about the quality of the shop itself. Porsche dealerships regularly have very…

Different behaviour appeals to different audiences. Maybe this has to do with residency. From my (limited) experience, most US-born people I met and interacted with had a high level of perceived friendliness (the english language being a bit less formal than my native one also helps), but they are not “really”…

The way they’ve been put in place here ist crap, I agree with that.
However, when salaries for players reach double or nearly triple digit million sums for contracts, one has to wonder whether those sums are justified in any way. Thing is, with some sports the ordinary people are paying part of these through tax grants…

The revelation to me was when I had a Fiesta XR2i 16V. 130hp from 1.8 litres in a car that weighed 950kg (yes, it was heavier than a standard Fiesta, because of better suspension, better sound deadening etc...).
I could keep up with Porsche 924 on the Autobahn.
A Fiesta.
Chasing a Porsche (albeit the cheapest one there…

Volvo 850 T5. In itself a safe, reliable vehicle.
Now do the following: Larger intercooler and intercooler reroute old-style (94 and earlier) from DO88.se . Downpipe, Exhaust from TME Sweden (70% less backpressure compared to original exhaust). Larger Mitsubishi turbo, it has the TD04HL15G as standard - go for the 16T…

Well, let me put it this way: Microsoft went through a lot of iterations with its interfaces, from the first Xbox, to the blades on the 360 until they landed where they are now. And their shop still isn’t perfect, but it has featured stuff you wouldn’t otherwise look for sometimes, features sales on unknown titles and…

The world has changed.
Where in the previous generations, the number of full price games attached to any console as a median was about 6 or 7 (meaning that was the number of games sold for every sold console, throughout the lifecycle of a system), it forced the companies to quickly evolve their hardware to put out…
