Are you really telling me that multi-billionaire Donald Trump, openly backed by the richest man in the world, doesn’t pay his bills?!

Oh wait, he does it all the fucking time. Maybe it’s time to use a credit check agency, guys. You know, like you do every time a poor person wants something.

Ignore that buzzing noise.

It’s just the sound of 200,000 dentists rubbing their hands together at the thought of all the extra money they’re going to make.

I mean, it’s from 1996. 3D games were in their infancy.

It’s a very methodical and laborious game about checking every last corner and crevice for a way forward, and it’s really not a game that concerns itself with flowing gameplay. Everything is awkward. It all feels very deliberate, from the block based layout to the walk button that takes you right the edge of them.

There’s a few bits where you need to keep running and jumping (the timed flame puzzle for example) and those can be iffy, but there’s not many. It’s a game of its time, and they’ve preserved it all. I’m surprised how well it still holds up if anything, considering the gameplay is left as intact as I remember it.

About 6 months ago, I refilled the office salt pot with sugar for a laugh.

Nobody seems to have noticed yet.

At least Hitler could paint, and he was a good shot at point blank range.

Yeah, but that Cardinal Glick though. They should have made that guy pope.

Just about everything in her books happened somewhere, just not all at the same place and time. Some 80s USA, some communist Romania. Just about everyone has oppressed women at some point or other, and continue to do so.

I think the only unrealistic part is that she gets away rather than killed… The TV show especially has her in particularly thick plot armour.

It’s easy to assume that everyone that disagrees with us is stupid, but I can assure you that’s very much not true.

I’ve seen otherwise very intelligent people lost down the rabbit hole of right-wing fuckbaggery. I think it’s often just a slow burn from social media. I saw a video earlier today about an ancient tool for spear throwing, and was immediately afterwards presented with a video about how the new Dragon Age game is ruined by DEI…

And the saddest thing is, most people on the extremes have started at the same place: An unhappiness with their own life and a search for a solution. They’ve just ended up at vastly different positions, in that the right has chosen to blame the nebulous “others” below them, while the left has chosen to blame the “others” above them. And punching down is always an ugly look.

Intel’s long term prospects rely on China invading Taiwan.

Some are clearly designed for just that.

Yeah, you need at least to do a jump back from the edge. I think that’s even in the Croft Manor tutorial tbh. It’s very open about it being tile based.

I didn’t even try “modern controls”. I know where I am with the tank controls.

“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.”

Do you honestly think that people who use Windows do it for no reason?

We’re not just using a browser over here. We have thousands of games we’d like to continue running, as well as thousands of dollars of business software. PC gaming is buggy enough as it is, without throwing one of a million distros of Linux into the mix.

“None of my stuff works but I least I don’t have to use WinBloWz$$$”

If American democracy elects Trump, then your version of it has already failed.

But spoiler: Everything you want is spread across about 5 services, and there’s gaps in it anyway.

I’m playing Tomb Raider remastered right now and I’m scum saving like a little bitch.

I think young me just didn’t value spare time because he had so much of it.

These Unfinished Business levels are rough as fuck though.

Well any political choice will increase the wealth of the billionaire class in general. Any candidate that is a threat to that will be smeared to dust before they get anywhere near power.

But Musk is going for the more direct approach, and tbh I think the second Trump gets power again he’ll have no need for Musk and will treat him like the parasite he is. He’s certainly done that before.

There’s been a two pronged assault on it over the years.

Mostly from websites doing anything to spam up the results via SEO and mass produced articles about product recommendations, that are little more than the top 10 selling items of that type on Amazon along with affiliate links.

But also from within as Google morphed from a search company to an advertising company. Especially once they reached peak saturation and that all important growth must continue. I just don’t think the capitalism machine works for these tech corporations once they reach the size of Google. How do you even grow from there? Enshittification and eating yourself is the only possible outcome.

I would think it would still do most of it’s business on console regardless of which PC store it launched on.

Lack of a physical release probably hurt more than not being on Steam. When you go pure digital, you miss out on those impulse purchases.
