I’ve missed this thread for a few weeks already (as in, I didn’t see it). Completed Disco Elysium twice since then, amazing game! Very sad that there’s not going to be a sequel; the world is fascinating, as is the style of gameplay.

So so so many. Right off the top of my head:

• Guild Wars Season 2, one of the later missions. It was stealth gameplay. I hate stealth. Paid someone 100g to run it for me.
• FTL’s boss.
• Warframe’s Glassmaker season fight with Nihil.
• Currently, Ace Combat 7’s Pipeline Destruction.

Have you tried installing a copy of Windows in Dosbox, then install the game from there? I remember doing something like that to play the original SimTower.

Very likely the game is 16 bit mode, which is why nothing in Windows 10’s compatibility mode is working, as it doesn’t support 16 bit programs.

How bad is the scalping? I’m in Singapore and the price premium is about 10%.

The higher price isn’t permanent.

I’ve worked in camera retail and the local shops do just that, actually, and it’s effective. The FOMO people get their stuff first at a higher price, the shop gets a boost in margins, and everyone else gets to enjoy cheaper prices three months later (and have the early adopters sit through the bugs and first-run issues).

Definitely a good RTS, feels like it peaked with the first Company of Heroes.

Hybrid MMO/ARPG?

2nd or 3rd, hard to believe either way.

China 3rd? Hard to believe.

Forgot how Pro-drug the fediverse is as well; vapes should be regulated as heavily as cigarettes and other tobacco products. Just because it’s less harmful doesn’t mean it’s not harmful.

Isreal soldiers have been doing a fair amount of fighting over the years too, including the last decade. Maybe each soldier on average isn’t the hardened vet the average Ukranian soldier is now, but the amount of instituional knowledge IDF has is not to be sneered at.

It definitely is a political play, like you said. More support from Israel for Ukraine, and maybe less support to Russia. I believe Israel is maintaining some nominal relation to Russia due to their histories.

I think that’s how some creators do get paid. Large enough channels will get some form of revenue sharing from YouTube. That’s why when a video is demonetised the creators get very upset. As is when YT does some fuckery with their algorithms and their views plummet.

Mind, the rates keep getting worse, from what I hear. Hence more and more pateron and in-video promos, it’s a better and more stable source of income.

Yea, but the cost of having FB acquire your data doesn’t feel so… worth it? I’m not completely privacy-focused like many on the fediverse but I do view it as a trade-off, and at US$500 the trade-off no longer feels warranted.

Was thinking about the HP Reverb G2, it’s a little more expensive than the Quest 3, last I checked.

Realised it’s not that cheap, US$500? Feels like it’s at a price point where I could spend a couple of hundred more and not get Meta involved. Made more sense when it was US$300.

Dang, lucky you! Though also what in the world did the previous owner do to it to kill the battery so dead in just 3 years.

Holy shit, that is a great deal regardless of where in the world you are. How’d you get it so cheap?

Tough as hell, good to great keyboards, Trackpoints are the bomb if you do work in an enterprise environment (more text than graphics)

Not just Palestinians, innocent Israelis are going to die from these decisions. I was following the judiciary saga in Israel a little, and I hope Israelis will eventually win the fight against this tyrant wannabe.

Exactly, what did they think they’ll achieve but even more resentment and hate?
