The amount of moral sophistry practiced in this article and the comments below make me wonder if these racists are all christians.  Never saw anyone twist reasoning in a knot like a christian does to justify their terrible moral prejudices.  Or perhaps this is the dawn of a new religion?  Or a cult... Yes, probably a…

If the computer part of the book is insanely bad, doesn’t that kind of ruin the entire story which is BASED on intelligent computers?

Forgive my ignorance but what is CAFE?

Agreed. I dislike shame as a tool for repentance. Too often by the time the shame dissipates - so does the repentance. Just live and learn people, and move the fuck on. Shaming is such a wasteful exercise.  It’s emotionally and mentally destructive and the result it achieves are questionable at best.

I had this feature available on my Sony XA1 Ultra, it was terrible.  Although the phone itself had alot of issues, turning on WiFi Calling seemed to aggravate them.

Bingo - all the stars.

They should also have every single credential they have in their medical career revoked with extreme prejudice NEVER to work in any kind of field touching on medicine or patient care ever again.

TWO Tentacle Games?  Are you referring to Maniac Mansion? 

When they put DRM into Media center recordings - that was the day I began torrenting.  Their method of making sure media was legal - ironically forced people to use illegal means to keep recordings of their shows.  Jackasses.

QFG2 was the height of the series IMHO.  I played the shit out of that game.  It was almost completely non-linear except for the main quest.  Amazing game.

I don’t think I ever finished QFG4, it was so damn buggy I got pissed off and quit. :(

I played it when it first came out. I had a very old XT like you, with a 4 color CGA monitor. If I recall though, the CGA support for that was non existent. I had to grab the driver from another Sierra game and swap it into QFG. Think I played it black and white back then.

Finally got a 386DX-25mhz before QFG2 game…

This was an amazing read.  I did NOT think I would be interested in this article but your writing skills are on point.  Just pulled me in and made me want to find out more.  Fantastic article!

Sounds like a darwin award winner

My dad did that not once, but twice. Drove from Calgary Canada to Florida in about 3 days of marathon driving. Sadly, on one of those trips I lost my hearing and my sanity for a few days... The hearing loss was bad enough but the hellish tinnitus that accompanied it drove me insane...  Quite sure that was the vacation…

Jesus - if you were my kid, I’d throw you in the trailer, or on the roof rack and have your head pointing toward the rear.  SEriously - why so carsick easily?

Witcher 3 isn’t even on the list? Oh right Jrpg... Not just RPG... Nevermind.

Lost Odyssey is the only one on this list I’ve completed. Some of these games don’t really age all that well. The mechanics and story may be great but everything else is... not.

I’ve never understood the usage of sic.  I looked it up once and was even more confused after reading the googled explanation.
