“It’s time to start working on other things so that when I’m done fighting, I can be a great caster in H1Z1 or PUBG or Street Fighter or anything, really,” he said in a phone interview last week.

Funny video. Your cadence and voice are oddly similar to the FilmCow videos on Youtube.

I found the single-player to be pretty tedious, but multiplayer is another experience entirely.

A kid that can turn into a dragon? Now I just miss the Breath of Fire series.

If I could see Bayek’s nipples, I’d agree with you.

Dying is the natural course of events. EA is a murderer.

“Captain, they’ve adapted!”

There are two things about Brotherhood of Steel that were good: it’s relegated to a now defunct system, and it was short. Short enough to complete in one self-loathing-filled afternoon provided you were stuck in Ludovico-style apparatus and forced to play it.

They may not. I believe it’s more for the benefit of streaming downloads.

You may not have noticed it, but the GoG installer absolutely pre-allocates hard drive space before installing. Or, rather, the GoG Galaxy installer does. I don’t know if the standalone installers do.

I don’t know exactly why the process takes so long, but it’s a necessary step. It essentially is doing what it says and allocating a chunk of disk space to install the game to. Depending on what Steam is actually doing, it could be as simple as comparing install size to free space, but because it can take a while…

Are you installing to an SSD? Using a faster hard drive for your Steam installs almost entirely alleviates this issue.

I wonder how much of isoku’s work is in this, since it basically sounds like  a combination of his “Wet and Cold” and “iNeed” mods.

That is something I had no idea that I wanted.

The cat at work...

It sounds like the reason for lack of cross play is political in nature (Sony doesn’t want the PS4 to play nicely with other systems), not because of technological restrictions.

Microprose legitimately had some of the best manuals. I don’t know how many times I read through the Master of Orion II manual. The Big List (their name for the technology tree) and their descriptions were like a treasure trove of wonder for a burgeoning sci-fi nerd.

I owe so much to abandonware sites like HotU. As a teenager, I spent countless hours learning how to troubleshoot and tweak my computer to get those old games running on newer operating systems (or even on older OSs). Really helped to kindle that “future in IT” fire. Plus, they were so small, it didn’t take hours to…

Well, now that you mention it, probably something that I can pay little attention to while I stream Bojack Horseman.

They have similar goals. One has you pushing a rock up a hill. The other has you going to the doc for a pill.
