Star Citizen has this, and has planets that are larger (or so it seems), but getting the few planets and moons they have right now took them their sweet time. That said, even now they have more large cities ports than starfield, at least when the second system (Pyro) is open to the general public. And a lot of…

nah, surely not. It is more the “I would like it if I didn’t have to do stuff like this” - thing.
Sometimes stuff breaks and can’t be helped. When Sega slowly abandoned the Dreamcast, the servers for Propeller Arena got taken down since they moved all of their internet services to another provider iirc (the game was…

Well, basically a lot of people do not have the necessary knowledge to safely edit stuff in their files, but think because they have a PC they should be entitled to and do it anyways and THEN complain when stuff goes wrong.
For those people, having this “walled garden” which then in return works (and even cross…

GoG is a shining example on PC, that’s true. HumbleBundle used to be one too before they got bought out.
Cracking software to bypass copy protection is sadly illegal, so if the developers don’t hand out a crack as an update when they stop distributing the software, your SOL.

I remember a stragegy game of the…

I don’t know, it may look like this to you, but from an operating system and security standpoint, I can only say that it makes a ton of sense what MS is doing here, and they are doing it all using the functions already built into the operating system, that are also used in other places that you probably never noticed.
I…

But the game you bought at a store in a box often just contains a download code these days, not even a disc. No physical medium whatsoever. And most games contact the devs servers, even at singleplayer startup, before you’re allowed to play.
So in essence, if it doesn’t come on a cartridge, it is worth zero if you…

On PC, it used to mask files and folders under a different user so that they would not be tampered with so game data stayed unaltered (cheater prevention). If you changed any settings it would not accept the folders anymore as its library, and you had to take ownership, delete them and re-build a new library.

They had…

Partially agree with you here, the price hike if you want to go from 60fps / console-like quality to 140fps and beyond / maximum 4K glory on PC is insane. You can build a good rig right now that rivals/slightly surpasses PS5/XSX-visuals for about 1500€. Or you can go all out and spend more than that on the graphics…

1000 worlds, probably a lot of generated stuff. Mission-critical settlements will be hand-crafted, but the rest? Probably more for resource gathering and leveling up.
To me it looked totally like No Mans Sky, with a dash of Destiny in the art direction (especially the banners in the city, and parts of the spacesuits)…

The funny thing is: If Sony wouldn’t restrict their browser on their console so strictly, they could all play it via Xbox cloud gaming without buying new hardware. They are just bummed that they don’t get the best possible experience when they clearly deserve is since they are the superior Sony console master race.…

Acceleration is meaningless if it is not repeatable. How many times in a row can you accelerate from 0-60 in the Model S plaid before it overheats and forces you in some kind of limp mode?
How long can you drive it on full power? Something all Model S have problems with to this day, the speeds they achieve are…

You really should be. Using your full credit card credentials online with a company that had several major known data leaks when it came to customer data is troublesome to say the least. I do not know if Epic even uses an outside payment processing company - though I would think so, since otherwise they would have to…

The speed limit stuff is bull. The deaths due to high speed on the unregulated parts of the German Autobahn are far, far lower than on byroads or in cities.
Speed limits are necessary and meaningful in a lot of places, but if they are not obeyed, that is when fatal accidents happen.
So we do not need necessarily more…

The Cadillac Catera is just a rebadged Opel Omega with a grille a bit more reminiscent of the older Opel Senator.
Uncommon as a Cadillac, very common as the Omega in Europe. The estate version was loved by police because you could put tons of gear in the back and still had place on the back seats.

But bringing in…

Case in point: Pneumothorax. Sharp chest pain, slight impediment to breathe at the start. Could think that you broke a rib or something at first, in fact it is your lungs collapsing. You will die from this if not treated, in most cases within 24 hours, in severe cases you have less time. But especially when you are…

wrong, it helps against most severe cases, but it doesn’t help that much with the current omikron variant against infection itself. For that to be partially effective, you’d have to get a booster shot about every 4 months at the time, until we have newer vaccines who cover more variants.
Dying from covid when fully…

Vaccines won’t protect you from infection per se, but they lower the risk for severe cases by 4-6 times (depending on age and general fitness) with the currently dominant covid mutation.
Also, the peak virus load of vaccinated and non-vaccinated people who get infected is about the same, but it drops of dramatically…

Carefully optimistic here, still remembering the last Robotech board game kickstarter, and what a shitshow that was. A lot of people got badly burned on that one.

Sorry, but no. Give me well-designed reflectors and good and bright light over that shit any time of the day.
Plus, changing a bulb ob a 996 Porsche p.ex. needs one single tool, and about 3mins tops. No matter whether you change a Xenon lamp or a parking light. So it is down to the car designers to make this process…

and here I was thinking that this was a copy protection thing, only occurring on pirated versions, and the name, Torrent, was a sly nod to “bittorrent”.
