I clocked over 400 hours in Morrowind alone, doing every quest that can be done without resorting to cheats (to reset faction standing to do another questline). Yes, even all the hidden ones from the elder gods.
Same for Oblivion, not quite as complete in Skyrim. Got almost all achievements in Forza Horizon 3, played…

Why is it not worth it, though?
The game in its current state has been shaped through numerous paid for expansions.
Everybody who got in in the past had to pay extra for every expansion, unless (and this was not possible until a few years ago) you accepted to always be one year behind in terms of content, and not being…

I have not played any WoW since about 2 months after Shadowlands released (didn’t have the time), so I cannot really comment on the latest stuff. I am not playing ANY MMORPG constantly, always played a little when I liked it and then canceled my subscription when I didn’t. Did it this way since Ultima Online and…

With WoW, if you are not interested in raiding (which I am not at all), the game still offers you a lot of content. I am sad that a lot of long and winding quests have been removed with Cataclysm, but I can see the reason behind that. It is much more accessible now to people with less time on their hands.
But on the…

the microtransactions are mostly just cosmetic stuff though, nothing game-changing. Good for the odd gift or so, nothing more.
But: WoW has, at least in the past, regularly added content, small updates to events etc... and that stuff needs to be paid too. Also, their customer service was usually quite good. The timing…

Not sure sony has the MONEY for that. Remember, that for years the whole Playstation department has carried the rest of the Sony brand financially, even the movie studio part wasn’t really doing that good - the rest of consumer electronics was a money burning business (and as far as I know still is).
Sony is so small…

you realize that it can take quite a while to produce new content, right? Especially at the quality level gamers these days are expecting. We are far from the days wher 1-2 people could produce a game in half a year. Look at the credits for Forza Horizon, there are over 1000 people divided over more than a dozen…

that’s not true though. Microsoft games division has always been quite a nice place for developers to be. Less pressure than under other ownership, and a somewhat stringent (guidelines, not that much frat bullshit), yet relaxed athmosphere (also because of the guidelines which don’t let every shit fly).
Their problem…

it has a browser, but it is hidden away and you cannot enter URLs easily. You can open it by opening up the help manual, which opens in... a browser. Or you can link your twitter account, which when opened also opens in a browser. That is also the only way to “enter” custom URLs, you can put them on your feed and open…

exclusive to what? Basically all systems under the sun that can run an unrestricted browser and allow bluetooth devices will be able to use Xbox Cloud Streaming through Gamepass. Could actually turn out as a win-win for Sony, they can keep their exclusives, but people who previously would’ve bought an Xbox can now…

I tried it on mobile. Latency was so negligible that I was able to play Forza Horizon on my Android smartphone. And with faster load times than on Xbox.
Theoretically, you can use the browser variant to play all of their games on Playstation, too. That is, if sony makes some moves to update their browsers (they even…

looked more like Knight Rider to me, seems he found the turbo boost button :D

German here. Fuel costs are a bit different. Assuming about 40mpg for the petrol car, and prices of 1.35€/litre (normal here as an average over the past years, currently rather at 1.65€/litre), we come to an amount of 117450€ for 1.5million kilometers the car has driven.

electricity-wise: Well, supercharger use was…

Not really. Think back to the early 90s - before Windows, you had to know how to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat to arrange your drivers so they used the least amount of memory possible. With some sound cards you couldn’t play certain cd-rom games - not enough free dos mem left after the drivers loaded (Strike…

well, it’s a bit of all of that I guess. Concerning China, and most asian countries around them, they have a century-old habit of using face masks when they themselves catch a cold so they do not contaminate other people when they have to be close around them (p.ex. on public transport, or in cities). Which works…

Well, you could’ve shut down far more than we did. In Austria, people were caming and isolating themselves out of their free will on the premises of essential infrastructure like power plants, so that those can be kept running in case of a larger outbreak.

Also, all those idiots that refuse to wear masks... come on, I…

It seems that this site is going towards posting negative reviews / criticism on dearly loved items/topics. This is visible through almost all of its sections.
The reason should be pretty clear, since the facebook interna debutet:
Negative topics on popular items tend to engage more people in conversations, therefore…

See, and I am of the thought that anything that we CAN do without too much effort should be done.
When the pandemic started, we should’ve stopped all holiday travels for everyone for a year at least, stopped all unneccessary border traffic and checked those that had to travel every time they did.
Also, drastically…

No, the reporting isn’t up to par - I give you that.
But especially the results of long covid symptoms - which you can get even with an asymptomatic infection, i.e. without knowing that you contracted Covid in the first place, are all over the place.
According to recent studies from the UK, about 1.8% of all kids…

at least in the past you could easily install Windows on a Mac. If it was a Macbook, you’d lose some battery life, but performance in 3D games was 2-3 times what you’d get before if you used the Mac specific version of the same game on the same hardware. Experienced this primarily with WoW and lots of other titles.
That…
